All The Trade Triangles Turn Green For Apple
This morning, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) moved to a five month high and completed a major base. Apple has, without too much fanfare, rallied from a recent low around $390 and triggered a major monthly Trade Triangle this morning with its move over $466. I can see a move for Apple to the $550 to $575 area.

Weekly Gold Report (August 5th through August 9th)

I am probably not alone in thinking that I am happy to finally have last week in the rear view mirror. Despite the fact that most economists had their sights set on the September FOMC Meeting, there was still the possibility of a surprise decision to taper ahead of next month. After hearing the news that the FED will maintain their QE stance, we still had to deal with Central Bank announcements from the BOE and the ECB. Following the same supportive outlook, we looked ahead to the monthly Non Farm Payroll on Friday.

Despite decent figures from the private sector in the US, along with an improvement in the weekly jobless claims, the NFP did miss expectations. Considering the fact that Ben Bernanke and Co. have pegged their participation largely to the labor market, this miss bought the market at least another month of FED support.

10 Reasons Why Obamacare Is Going to Ruin Your Medical Care… and Your Life

By Elizabeth Lee Vliet, M.D.

Of course you've heard of "liar loans"—in the heyday of subprime mortgages, unscrupulous lenders handed out mortgages to practically everyone with a pulse. "So you're saying you make $100,000 a year? Great, check this box titled 'McMansion.'"

We all know how this charade ended. Now Dr. Elizabeth Lee Vliet, M.D., an acclaimed expert on the subject of Obamacare, warns that the delay of the employer mandate by one year will force Americans into a single-payer system, raising insurance premiums and encouraging "liar subsidies" that might prove fiscally devastating. Not to mention that under the new health care system, you may well end up dead…

Obamacare is a hodgepodge of new regulations, requirements, and penalties. I'd like to start by defining three terms, which, while obscure today, should begin to enter our everyday vocabulary as Obamacare continues to take effect: Continue reading "10 Reasons Why Obamacare Is Going to Ruin Your Medical Care… and Your Life"

Grain Futures--- The grain market continues their bearish trend with soybeans higher by $.15 in early trade only to selloff & make new contract lows at 11.81 finishing right near session lows and as I’ve been instructing traders or investors for quite some time I do believe prices are headed substantially lower in the next 2 weeks due to the fact that the weather is outstanding especially if we can get some warmer weather which should really propel the crop even more. Corn futures continue to move lower once again finishing down $.03 in the December contract at 4.63 a bushel also at new contract lows as I’m hearing from many farmers around the country & they are expecting over 200 bushels an acre which could produce a record crop this fall.

Today's Video Update: What's Ahead For August?

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Friday, the 2nd of August.

July turned out to be a great month to be in stocks and our Trade Triangles caught many stocks that were headed higher last month. The question is, how will the month of August play out? Typically the month of August is a quiet month, as most traders and investors take off to enjoy the last days of summer. August could be a strong month for the stock market this year, as there are strong trends in place that are pushing stocks higher and no evidence to suggest these trends are going to reverse anytime soon.

With the Fed committed to talking the market up to the tune of $85 billion a month, I seen no change in this policy as Chairman Bernanke prepares to exit the stage in January. What will happen in 2014 is anyone's guess, as the new Fed chairperson is going to be faced with having to dig us out of the ditch that we put ourselves in.
