INO gives a little, but gains a lot! Operation Christmas Child

Posted on by admin

This time of year reminds us how incredibly fortunate we are to work for a company that we love, while also helping our customers achieve their financial goals.

With the holiday season upon us, there is nothing we wanted to do more than help another group achieve their goal as well. INO.com recently funded a large portion of a holiday project for a youth-run organization in Moorefield, West Virginia. This group of amazing kids packed almost 150 boxes for Operation Christmas Child, a charity that delivers shoeboxes packed with gifts to children all over the world during the holiday season!

Operation Christmas Child is a wonderful organization that simply attempts to provide basic needs, smiles and a little joy to less than fortunate children in more than 100 countries around the world. It’s a wonderful program that anyone can participate in. Learn more about Operation Christmas Child.

We hope you enjoy the pictures of the children at their shoebox packing party. We are happy to help them share some love with the world.

All the best and warm holiday wishes,

The INO.com & MarketClub Team

Forget Gold: Demand Favors This Precious Metal

Posted on by admin

By: Jim Woods of Street Authority

Gold is getting hammered, and the pain in the sector is putting gold bulls in a panic. The yellow metal is down more than 27% year to date, and in just the past month, gold prices have tumbled more than 7%.

​The latest decline in gold came on Tuesday, when it traded lower by as much as 2.7%, breaking down below very weak support levels around $1,225. About the only hope for gold longs here is to pray for a bad jobs number Friday, as that may keep the Federal Reserve from tapering sooner rather than later.

Closing the 2008 'Gap'

Posted on by admin

A disclaimer:  I am long and/or trading several regular 'bull stocks' (as well as short a couple).  Don't interpret the sober message below as a 'sell your stocks right now!' style bearish warning.  Indeed, after an expected choppy start to December I think more bull market mania, errr… rally, could still be ahead.  But it would be just dandy if people would keep their perspective along the way.

From the December 1 edition of Notes From the Rabbit Hole (NFTRH 267):

In 2008 market and economic participants suffered a hard downside 'gap' in the prices of their assets and in the levels of their expectations.  The bull market that began in March of 2009 is doing a fine job of closing that gap and fully resetting the herd from the utter fear mode of Q4, 2008 to a 2007 or even 1999 style greed mode today.

This Pioneering Chart Pattern Is Still One Of The Best

By: Amber Hestla, Michael J. Carr

The head-and-shoulders (HS) top is one of the best-known patterns in technical analysis. This pattern was first written about in 1930 by a financial editor at Forbes magazine who described how the HS forms and how it can be traded.

Many readers are familiar with the HS pattern. On a price chart, there will be three peaks in price at the end of the uptrend, with the center peak (the head) being higher than the other two. The peaks on the sides (the shoulders) should be about equal in height. Continue reading "This Pioneering Chart Pattern Is Still One Of The Best" →

Is This a Bubble About to Pop or a New Bull Market?

The SP 500 has now closed higher seven weeks in a row. We need to consider the possibility that we are at the start of another bull market.

​Stocks Are Bullish, but Not Bubbly

After gaining 0.42% last week, SPDR SP 500 (NYSE: SPY) is now up seven weeks in a row. While that gain may seem small, it is actually more than three times larger than the typical one-week gain in SPY. Since January 2001, the ETF has delivered an average one-week gain of 0.12%.
