Don't Personalize the Markets

Posted on by The INO.com Team

By Gary Tanashian

A few articles I have written lately have elicited some responses that have been less than complimentary.  This generally comes with the 'public writer' territory, but negative feedback seems to come more intensely when the market is at critical junctures where its fortunes are potentially near a point of change.

It goes both ways as I routinely hear from bulls, bears and even gold bugs when I write something that looks "dumb" because it is out of alignment with a current trend, but is actually looking for Continue reading "Don't Personalize the Markets" →

Daily Video Update: Political uncertainty creates choppy markets and investor frustration

What, if anything, has changed? The European problem is still around and hasn't gone away. The US is up to its eyeballs in debt and US companies don't want to bring their money back into the US because of high taxes and political uncertainty. And if that was not enough, we have a Greek election on the 17th. What's an investor to do?

Best advice I can give is to go with the flow, don't fight the market, and follow the Trade Triangles. Continue reading "Daily Video Update: Political uncertainty creates choppy markets and investor frustration" →

Whether it is nobler in the minds of ... O.K. lets give Shakespeare a rest and get down to reality.

In the next twelve to eighteen months there are going to be some amazing opportunities in the markets thanks to Europe and the upcoming economic climate.

Chart of the Week - Crude Oil

Posted on by The INO.com Team

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.

The chart shown below is a snapshot of the July Crude Oil futures. After spending the entire month slipping lower alongside of most of the major global markets, Crude Oil prices have tried to recover off of $82.00 a barrel in the first week of June.

One of the identifiable themes for this chart is the range that Crude traded in throughout May (see blue trendlines on chart). There were four days in the month when prices closed outside of this range, and this is what I feel is most important to highlight. Continue reading "Chart of the Week - Crude Oil" →

Poll: Is 100 years of capitalism coming to an end?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

First published on October 29, 2008. Not much has changed. --------------

Regardless of what others might say, there is no quick fix for the global economy.

To illustrate this point, a friend of mine recently sent me a chart which I would like to share with you. This charts shows that we may be going into a prolonged period of no growth in the overall stock market. The NASDAQ peaked at 5,132.52 on March 10th, 2000. The NASDAQ market is in many ways more important than the DOW, and should be considered more of a leading indicator. If that is truly the case, then we have been in a bear market for the last eight years. Continue reading "Poll: Is 100 years of capitalism coming to an end?" →
