Supercharge Your Portfolio With These Powerful ETFs

May 21, 2013 By Leave a Comment

By: David Goodboy - Street Authority

Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have revolutionized the way investors approach the financial markets.

No longer are multiple accounts required to access the majority of indexes, currencies and commodities. Now, with a stock brokerage account, the self-directed investor can trade nearly every popular financial instrument with the click of a mouse.

Not only has access been democratized, but leverage has also undergone a revolution. ETFs that provide two and even three times leverage -- meaning they amplify the moves of an instrument or index by a given multiple, in either direction -- are available on a variety of financial instruments.

I'll never forget my first time using triple-leveraged ETFs. My technical research and fundamentals clearly indicated that the SP 500 index, the broad barometer of U.S. stocks, was overextended on the upside. A big drop was on its way, and it was going to happen soon. [Read more...]

Gold Chart of The Week

May 20, 2013 By 6 Comments

Each Week Longleaftrading.com will be providing us a chart of the week as analyzed by a member of their team. We hope that you enjoy and learn from this new feature.

Weekly Gold Report (May 20th through May 24th)

After wrapping up a week full of economic data in the United States, we now look forward to a fairly light schedule. At this point, most traders realize how insignificant the results of these reports are and they will likely continue to follow the stock indexes with a “buy the dip and enjoy the trip” mentality. Why wouldn’t they? Indexes like the S&P 500 have only spent about a week below the support trendline since the move began in November of 2012. Even after a string of misses in the middle of last week, the S&P Futures only pulled back a fraction of the prior day’s move up. And that was only long enough for the buying to resume and a new high was put in shortly thereafter. [Read more...]

Weekly Futures Recap W/Mike Seery

May 17, 2013 By Leave a Comment

We’ve asked Michael Seery of SEERYFUTURES.COM to give our INO readers a weekly recap of the Futures market. He has been Senior Analyst for close to 15 years and has extensive knowledge of all of the commodity and option markets.

Michael frequently appears on multiple business networks including Bloomberg news, Fox Business, CNBC Worldwide, CNN Business, and Bloomberg TV. He is also a guest on First Business, which is a national and internationally syndicated business show.

Precious Metal Futures--- The precious metals fell out of bed this week especially gold which finished down for the 6th consecutive day trading far below its 100 day moving average all due to the fact that the U.S dollar hit another contract high today trading up nearly 70 points again today as investors are fleeing out of gold and taking that money and placing it in the U.S dollar and the S&P 500 which is hitting another record high again today. Gold futures for the June contract settled last Friday at 1,436 finishing down about $70 for the week trading at 1,362 hitting a 2 year low with a possible retest of 1,321 which was hit on April 16th of this year. Investors see no reason to own gold at this point in time when you can buy the stock market which seems to go up every single day, however the real story is large hedge funds including George Soros which have been liquidating their gold positions in recent weeks and that is also putting pressure as investors are taking money out of the ETF gold market.

Today's Video Update: Are You Planning On Buying An Electric Car?

May 17, 2013 By 2 Comments

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Friday, the 17th of May.

Tesla Soars As Excitement Builds For Electric Cars
This week, Tesla Motors (NASDAQ:TSLA) soared as investors rushed into buying shares of America's only electric car company. Shares of Tesla jumped 19.72% for the week as of this writing and are closing in on new high ground. Of course, this must make Elon Musk and investors in this stock very, very happy. You may want to take a look at my earlier video on Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) here.

Gold Loses Big Time This Week
The price of gold plummeted this week with losses of over 5% as investors jumped out of this once precious metal and into US and Japanese stocks. If gold closes where it is currently trading at $1,363 on the spot market, it will represent a new low weekly close for the year. Such a close would indicate further downside pressure for this metal. Technically, we cannot rule out a test of the $1300 level. [Read more...]

Gold and Bitcoin: Currencies of the Future - James Turk

May 16, 2013 By 5 Comments

The Gold Report: James, from your perspective in Europe, is the region in as bad a financial crisis as it appears in the headlines here in the U.S.?

James Turk: Yes, it really is. However, Europe is a big place, and you have to look at the individual countries one by one to understand the situation. Generally speaking, the Mediterranean countries are in the worst shape. Germany has been in the best shape, although recent economic data indicate it may be falling into a recession again. France is not quite as bad as the Mediterranean countries, but in economic activity, it is worse off than Germany and the rest of Northern Europe.

TGR: What role does the euro play in all this, and where might the next crisis take place? [Read more...]

Why Futures for Stock Traders?

May 15, 2013 By 2 Comments

By: Leslie Burton

Whether you have traded a stock account for years or have just begun stock trading, you may have mixed results. Perhaps you have taken a course or you are simply well-read in your investment choices. The questions that every investor, trader and wealth manager must ask are, Am I diversified enough to produce a smooth equity curve with my portfolio? and Will this portfolio be weighted well enough to stand worst-case-scenario market conditions? If you hesitate to answer those questions, then perhaps taking a look at other products may broaden your knowledge and enhance your current investment portfolio.

The beauty of trading stocks online is that it keeps overhead costs down by trading out of your home. You will have immediate access to market information along with your account to place trades as you check the stock earnings, operating costs and any news that may impact the company. Typically, the cost of doing business is your low commission rate, use of your home computer and any subscription material to keep you informed. Most trading occurs in expanded hours, giving the investor time to trade whether it is a full-time or secondary job. The online platform allows the trader convenient access to the funds in his/her account readily. [Read more...]

Beyond the "Spotlight"

May 14, 2013 By 2 Comments
For the Week of May 13, 2013
By: Don DeBartolo

The GBE Trade Spotlight advisory service applies the GBE trading methodology (buying or selling commodity contracts based on breakouts of chart formations and technical indicators) to identify one to two trade setups per week.

Highlighting This Week’s Potential Breakouts:

June 2013 British Pound

The June 2013 British Pound futures contract closed below a lower trend line on Friday. There are touches on the trend line at 1.4823 (3/12/13), 1.5027 (4/04/13), and 1.5192 (4/23/13). The Trend Seeker (a US Chart Company tool to help identify market trend) is Neutral. The MACD, a trend indicator, is bearish and above the baseline. Although MACD is bearish, until the Trend Seeker changes to a Downtrend, there is no entry trigger confirmation. [Read more...]

Gold Chart of The Week

May 13, 2013 By 4 Comments

Each Week Longleaftrading.com will be providing us a chart of the week as analyzed by a member of their team. We hope that you enjoy and learn from this new feature.

Weekly Gold Report (May 13th through May 17th)

Outside of a late week Currencies surge, there were very few fireworks to report in last week’s business. This week however, may be a different story.

Thursday and Friday of last week provided some decent movement in the Dollar and Euro, but it appeared things began in the Japanese Yen, then spilled over. Throughout the last several weeks, there have been multiple attempts to push the Yen to new lows for the year, but it always seemed that somehow the plan was foiled. After the selling pressure triggered stop-orders below support, all other Currencies had to react. There was a firm rebound in the US Dollar and an inverse move in the Euro Currency. Surprisingly, the swings in the Currencies had very little impact on outside markets. In fact, most other sectors of the markets were rather stale and choppy. A Treasury Bond auction had some impact on the 30yr bonds and 10yr Notes, but there was little else in the week that provided any excitement. The same goes for the Gold Futures. Normally, traders would use the direction the Dollar or the Stock Indexes as a guide for what to expect in the Metals, but those former relationships are no longer in play on a day to day basis.

Chart to Watch - EURUSD

May 11, 2013 By 1 Comment

We've asked our friend Jim Robinson of profittrading.com to provide his expert analysis of charts to our readers. Each week he'll be be analyzing a different chart using the Trade Triangles and his experience.

Today he is going to take a look at the technical picture of the EURUSD Pair. (EURUSD).

I hope you are having a GREAT week !!!

The EURUSD looks to have made a double top, which was probably a counter trend correction, and is breaking out to the downside.

When counter trend corrections are over, it will normally lead to a big move back with the main trend, so odds are that if the EURUSD continues lower it could be a big move. [Read more...]
