Friday Poll: Big Brother Is Watching

June 7, 2013 By 13 Comments

Reports came out today that the NSA and FBI are using a program, code-named PRISM, to tap directly into the central servers of nine leading U.S. Internet companies, extracting audio and video chats, photographs, e-mails, documents, and connection logs. The same program also collects similar data from all of the major credit card companies as well. In other words, pretty much every second you spend online is being collected and archived by the federal government, which leads us to our poll question today.....

Are you for or against the government spying on your personal records?

Poll: Which smartphone do you own?

March 15, 2013 By

The smartphone wars are heating up again with the release of Samsung's new Galaxy S4 phone and Apple's new iPhone 5s right around the corner. Personally, I'm more interested in the software package of the new phones vs. the look, screen size, camera and so on. What about you? What do you look for in a new phone? We would also like to know....

Friday Poll: Has Gold lost its luster?

February 15, 2013 By

gold barsGold futures fell to a six-month low after Federal Reserve Chairman Bernanke says the U.S. economy is recovering, easing pressure for more stimulus measures by the U.S. Government.

Another blow to Gold was the announcement that Billionaire investors George Soros and Louis Moore Bacon cut their stakes in exchange-traded products backed by gold last quarter as futures dropped the most in more than eight years.

With these big investors bailing out on Gold we wanted to know.....

What will you do with your Gold positions today?

Friday Poll: Would you buy Apple stock?

January 25, 2013 By

You know we love Apple products here at MarketClub, but has the company lost its luster? I was shocked to see that Exxon has surpassed Apple as the world's most valuable company, after the tech company's stock hit a new 52-week low.

Apple's stock has been falling since it reported earnings on Wednesday. It hit a new 52-week low of $437.51 today, well off the recent all-time high of $703.99.

So, that begs the question....

Would you buy Apple stock now?

Poll: Retail store or online?

December 21, 2012 By

I've always been the guy who waited until the last possible minute to finish my Christmas shopping which usually meant Christmas Eve. This year I decided to do most of my shopping online with a few stops at local retail stores sprinkled in. Now that my Christmas shopping is done I thought about how my shopping habits have changed and thought. How many of our members/readers use online shopping vs. brick and mortar retail locations?

How did you do your hoilday shopping this year?

Poll: Silly Season starts today, so be prepared

December 14, 2012 By

About a year ago I wrote a blog on the "silly season," as I call it. The silly season starts on December 15 and extends through the first week of January. The silly season has nothing to do with telling jokes and laughing at funny things, but everything to do with trading.

Trading is a serious business. If you want to be successful you have to practice, just like an athlete would. I don't think there is an athlete out there who just woke up and said I'm going to be a world-class athlete and achieved that goal without practicing.

After December 15 most successful traders who made their money during the year are headed to either Florida, Palm Springs, or just taking a break to spend time with family.

What makes the silly season, silly?

It has everything to do with the lack of volume in trading. When you have very little volume it is easy for markets to be, forgive me because I am about to say the M word - manipulated - by just a few traders. You do not want to be ending your year at the mercy of markets that are erratic at best. You may as well just head out to Las Vegas and take a shot at the roulette wheel.

So how can you avoid this trading trap? Here's what I do every year: [Read more...]

Poll: U.S. economy adds 171K jobs, but the unemployment rate rises

November 2, 2012 By

Which candidate will add more jobs in the next 4 years?

View Results

Loading ... Loading ...

U.S. employers added 171,000 jobs in October, and hiring was stronger in August and September than first thought. The solid job growth showed that the economy is strengthening slowly but consistently.

The unemployment rate rose to 7.9 percent from 7.8 percent in September, mainly because more people began looking for work. The government uses a separate survey to calculate the unemployment rate, and it counts people without jobs as unemployed only if they're looking for one.

Friday's report was the last major snapshot of the economy before Tuesday's elections. It's unclear what political effect the report might have. By now, all but a few voters have made up their minds, particularly about the economy, analysts say.

Since July, the economy has created an average of 173,000 jobs a month. That's up from 67,000 a month from April through June. Still, President Barack Obama will face voters with the highest unemployment rate of any incumbent since Franklin Roosevelt.
