The Endless Wait Continues

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere. What are we waiting for you ask, inflation to pick up steam. The Labor Department announced Friday that the Consumer Price Index edged up 0.1% last month, versus expectations of a 0.2% gain. Traders scour the inflation data looking for clues on the Fed's next monetary policy move. It's going to be hard for the Fed to raise rates with weak inflation.

Market expectations for a December rate hike fell after the CPI data was released. Just 38% of investors expected the central bank to rates again at the end of the year, down from about 45%, according to the CME Group's FedWatch tool.

Do you think they are going to raise rates if inflation remains stagnant?

Gold Futures

Gold futures in the December contract settled last Friday in New York at 1,275 an ounce while currently trading at 1,268 down slightly for the trading week after hitting a six week high earlier this week. I'm currently not involved in this market with gold being incredibly choppy over the last six months. Gold prices are trading above their 20 and 100-day moving average telling you that the short-term trend is higher. Gold has had a significant rally over the last six weeks due to the U.S. dollar has hit a fresh 14 month low. That is definitely a fundamental bullish factor towards gold and the precious metals across the board. The United States added 209,000 jobs last month sending prices slightly lower in Friday's trade and the next major level of resistance is around the 1,300 level. That has to be broken to continue with its bullish momentum as the chart structure is poor at present due to the moves that went straight down and then straight up. I'm advising clients to look at other markets with better potential than gold at the current time.

Warren Buffet Would Love This Cannabis Stock

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Analysis originally distributed on July 27, 2017 By: Michael Vodicka of Cannabis Stock Trades

In early 2017 Forbes ranked Warren Buffett as the world’s second richest man with a net worth of $72 billion.

Unlike most other billionaires on the list, Buffett didn’t get rich from owning just one company. Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE:BRK.B) functioned like a giant mutual fund, investing in many companies from different industries all across the economy. That way, if one industry or company struggled, it wouldn’t crush Berkshire’s performance.

At the core, this is a lesson in diversification. Putting all your eggs in one basket can be risky.

That is particularly true in the cannabis sector. It is a super young industry and cannabis stocks can be quite volatile.

I want to share a cannabis stock that Warren Buffett would love. Continue reading "Warren Buffet Would Love This Cannabis Stock" →
