Today's Video Update: Time to buy the Dow and Netflix?

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Wednesday, the 21st of August.

The Dow (INDEX:DJI) has fallen back 61.8%, a key Fibonacci retracement level, and is now in an area where it should stabilize and start to move up once again. Everybody is waiting for the Fed minutes this afternoon, but I don't think there will be any change in the Fed policy for the time being.

With yesterday's news of Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) acquiring the exclusive broadcast rights to Weinstein films, Netflix stock shot up dramatically. I have been bullish on Netflix for some time and I continue to think this market is headed for an all time high around $300. Would I buy Netflix around current levels? Yes, with tight money-management stops. Continue reading "Today's Video Update: Time to buy the Dow and Netflix?"

Poll: Would you watch a cable news channel by Al Jazeera?

What do you think when you hear the name Al Jazeera? Well, it is a reality Al Jazeera is starting a broadcast news cable channel in the United States all thanks to Al Gore.

Personally, I seem to link the name Al Jazeera with the Muslim brotherhood, Al Qaeda, and a part of the world removed from America. AT&T is being taken to court by Al Jazeera, as they are refusing to carry the Al Jazeera broadcast signal.

Al Jazeera was made possible by Al Gore, who sold them his money-losing cable company for half a billion dollars. This sale, along with some other investments made by Mr. Gore, have given him a bigger net worth than Mitt Romney. By selling his failing cable company to Al Jazeera, as apparently nobody else would buy it, it gave Al Jazeera access to 90 million homes in America.

Here is today's question...

Would you watch the Al Jazeera channel?

Stocks drop for a fourth straight day

U.S. stocks dropped for a fourth day in a row Monday as investors continued to express worry about the recent rise in bond yields. Banking stocks also dragged down the broader market.

The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 70.73 points, or 0.47 percent, to 15,010.74. The Standard & Poor's 500 index lost 9.78 points, or 0.6 percent, to 1,646.05. The market fell broadly 4 stocks fell for every one that rose on the New York Stock Exchange.

The technology-heavy Nasdaq composite index also fell, losing 13.69 points, or 0.48 percent, to 3,589.09. The Russell 2000 index, which is made up of primarily riskier, small-company stocks, fell nearly twice as much as the S&P 500. That index fell 11.05 points, or 1 percent, to 1,013.25.

Investors had little data to digest Monday, so the focus for many remained the ongoing climb in bond yields. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note rose to 2.88 percent from 2.83 percent Friday. Yields are at their highest level since July 2011.
