Hurricanes & Crude Oil... The Ripple Effect

Posted on by lindsay


This year's hurricane season is off to a vicious start. This may be looked at as a promising start for investors; especially for the investors that are thinking, "Now when and where is this crude oil market going to take off?" Although not one of us will ever forget the massive destruction of Katrina and Rita, many may not forget the ripple effect on the crude oil market and the economy as a whole. For this season can we really predict what mother nature will do, or how the market will react?


The official start of the Atlantic hurricane season was June 1st, and has since already been a historic year. The 2007 season has already had two category five storms make landfall; this has not happened since 1886. Also the US has seen a Pacific and an Atlantic storm make landfall on the same day. This rare occurrence is unprecedented.

In an article by the Associated Press, "Hurricane Season Could Affect Gas Price”, the first line of the article says it all "If you think gasoline prices are high now, consider the eye-popping possibilities if another monster storm pummels the Gulf of Mexico this hurricane season, the way Katrina and Rita battered the petroleum-rich waters in 2005.”

Stocks Making Some Moves

Posted on by lindsay
How Did We Measure Up?


 Yesterday, there was a list published in a well known journal of stocks that had big moves. They published the good news... and the bad news. But, it was all good news for MarketClub members that were tracking these symbols. I decided to go through each of the published stocks (I did not remove nor add any). Here is the list...

Method of My Evaluation


 â–º I took start positions from the last monthly triangle, and used weekly triangles for outs, ins, etc.
â–º I did not take into account setting stop positions
â–º Assumed that each open position could be liquefied at analysis time of 1:20 PM on 8-14-07

MarketClub signaled moves for these stocks wonderfully...

Toll Brothers (NYSE:TOL) : + 0.50 /share, +1.6% Gain

How: We entered on a monthly trend change, March 1st @ 29.57. From there we used the weekly chart to exit and re-enter. We had 4 exit and re-entries within the same trend movement. Liquidated price= $22.50

American Real Estate (NYSE:ACP) : + 7.77 /share, +7.3% Gain

How: The monthly trend triangle was issued on 8-10-07 suggesting that traders take a long position @ 106.23. There were no conflicting signals on the weekly chart, so this position would simply be held. Liquidated price = $114.00

Cisco (NYSE:CSCO) : + 1.97 /share, +6.9% Gain

How: The monthly trend triangles signaled a positive change on 7-6-07 suggesting a long position @ 28.48. There were no conflicting signals on the weekly chart, so this position would simply be held. Liquidated price = $30.45

Anthracite Capital (NYSE:AHR) : + 3.14 /share, +27% Gain

How: The monthly trend triangle was issued on 7-18-07 suggesting to take a short position @ 11.5. There were no conflicting signals on the weekly chart, so this position would simply be held. Liquidated price = $8.36

How: The monthly trend triangle was issued on 7-24-07 suggesting to take a short position @ 203.29. There were no conflicting signals on the weekly chart, so this position would simply be held. Liquidated price = $171.10

How: The monthly trend triangle was issued on 8-1-07 suggesting to take a short position @ 88.11. There were no conflicting signals on the weekly chart, so this position would simply be held. Liquidated price = $80.31

Stochastics

Posted on by lindsay
Self-Managed Trading with Stochastics - By George & Cairie Lane

Seminar Topic: George and Cairie will provide in-depth explanations of the theory of momentum and stochastic signals. Using numerous charing examples, they will show you how to use this timing tool to best advantage when trading stocks, futures and indicies. Follow along in the PDF workbook while you place the MP3 seminar! Learn about this classic indicator.


Covers:

The Theory of Stochastics:

Stochastics is based on the observations, thus, as price decreases, closes tend to accumulate ever closer to their extreme lows of the daily range. Conversely, as price increases, closes tend to accumulate ever closer to the extreme highs of the daily range. This concept holds whether you are working in a 1-minute, 3-minute, 5-minute, 15-minute, 30-minute, hourly, daily, weekly , and monthly time periods.

The Theory of Momentum:

The momentum oscillator measures the velocity of direction price movement. Momentum always changes direction (trend) before price changes.
