Today's Video Update: Let's Face It, Bernanke Is A Wimp

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Wednesday, the 17th of July.

Let's Face It, Bernanke Is A Wimp
To be fair to Fed chairman Bernanke, he is human and like all humans, he is not perfect. His weakness right now is he just wants to get through the rest of his term, which ends on the 14th of January 2014, and not rock the boat. I think if anyone has said that the QE program (yeah, printing money), now in it's fourth year, would take this long nobody would have believed it, including chairman Bernanke.

The reality is, QE looks like a trade that has gone bad and nobody wants to admit it. It was a bad bet (trade) the Fed made and they all have egg on their faces, but nobody from the Fed is ever going to say they made a mistake with the QE program, including Chairman Bernanke. Like I mentioned earlier, humans are known to make mistakes. Continue reading "Today's Video Update: Let's Face It, Bernanke Is A Wimp" →

Goldman's profit doubles, but questions loom

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) said Tuesday that its second-quarter profit doubled and revenue jumped 30 percent, helped by gains in stock and bond underwriting and the bank's own investments. But the hot topic for analysts who follow the bank was a set of impending capital rules and how they might affect the powerful New York investment bank.

Goldman's stock rose in pre-market trading after the bank released its earnings results with rosy headline numbers. But the stock dipped moments after the market opened, just as Chief Financial Officer Harvey Schwartz faced a barrage of questions about the capital rules and other hard-to-predict factors that could affect the bank's future earnings, including how clients might react to rising interest rates.

Today's Video Update: Apple Is Officially Moving Sideways

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Monday, the 15th of July.

Every July, it gets very hot and humid here in Maryland and the markets seem to be following suit. The energy markets and the equity markets are hot right now and all in strong upward trends.

One thing to note today is that Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is now officially moving sideways according to the new weekly Trade Triangle. This is in contrast to the strong downward trend we have seen in this stock from the $700 level. What does this mean? Well, it could mean that we are in the early stages of a double bottom base being put in place in this once-high-flying stock that institutional investors love. If that is true and we see a new piece of technology coming out of Apple (like a smart watch?), Apple could easily rally back to the $550 level. The key level to watch here is the $466 level. If that level is taken out, then it could be off to the races for Apple.
