Today's Video Newsletter: Facebook and NetFlix form an alliance to learn more about you

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Wednesday, the 13th of March.

THE FACEBOOK - NETFLIX ALLIANCE
Today Netflix and Facebook announced a sharing of data. You can view this in two ways, either it's very destructive, "these folks are learning way too much about my habits," or you can look upon it as a business opportunity. For Netflix, I believe it is more of a plus than it is for Facebook. The new add-on service tells you about what movies your friends are watching and in-turn, it tells your friends what movies you are watching. This could be a very positive move for Netflix. We have been bullish on Netflix for quite some time (12/04/12 @ $89.45) and this is yet another strong signal that Netflix can move higher and over the $200 mark. At the present time, we have upside target zones of $200, $220 for this stock. Continue reading "Today's Video Newsletter: Facebook and NetFlix form an alliance to learn more about you" →

Today's Video Newsletter: On the seventh day, He rested

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Tuesday, the 12th of March.

EVEN THE MARKET NEEDS TO TAKE A REST AFTER SEVEN DAYS OF GAINS
Not only in the Bible is the number seven significant, but the number seven also plays an important role in the market as an important Fibonacci number in the Fibonacci sequence.

We expect we will see a mixed, resting market. We are not looking for a big down or big up day, but rather a mixed day as the markets rest and consolidate their recent gains. However unlike the general indices, some stocks will do well and others will fall. Continue reading "Today's Video Newsletter: On the seventh day, He rested" →

Yin & Yang, Dow Jones & Gold

Posted on by The INO.com Team

As human beings we try to intellectualize and get to the bottom of things.  We seek to find meaning in everything.  There must be a reason for what is happening at any given time.

Take for example the Dow’s stellar performance and gold’s lousy performance even as monetary policy has gone reckless on a global scale.  This goes against everything that humans who deal with the financial markets think they know.  But what if we are just getting back into symmetry?

Gold Chart of The Week

Each Week Longleaftrading.com will be providing us a chart of the week as analyzed by a member of their team. We hope that you enjoy and learn from this new feature.

Weekly Gold Report (March 11th through March 15th)

Will there be a follow through bid up in the US stock indexes this week? That is the million dollar question while Metals remain choppy.

I believe that there is still a bit of upside left in the markets, but not much. If you look back at the reported earnings over the last few weeks, we have seen some fairly good numbers. Many companies have reported better than expected figures, which have given investors a reason to be bullish stocks. The chart pattern shows that investors were waiting for any pullback to buy stocks, and many were ok with buying new highs. It doesn’t get much more bullish than that.

Today's Video Newsletter: Problems in Europe Again?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Monday, the 11th of March.

PROBLEMS IN EUROPE RAISE THE SPECTER OF GLOBAL UNCERTAINTY
Riots in Spain over the weekend led to general uncertainty in Europe. With its 26% unemployment rate, Spain is facing political and citizen unrest which could be a major problem for the rest of Europe.

If the problems in Spain were not bad enough, Fitch came out on Friday and downgraded the debt for Italy to BBB with a negative outlook. The downgrade reflects inconclusive election results for that country in February, which has led to a political vacuum. We are certainly concerned about Italy as it is third in line behind the US as the most indebted country in the world. If Italy were to see its borrowing costs increase significantly, it could spiral out of control and have a domino effect that would be felt across all the world's equity markets.
