Would you have bet on the Malaysian Index?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere, Adam Hewison here co-founder of MarketClub with your 1 p.m. market update for Monday the 20th of June.

The big news over the weekend was Greece and the 17 nations were unable to come to an agreement to put together a package for that beleaguered country. This agreement has been pushed off yet again until July. Markets both here and Europe initially reacted in a negative fashion but have come back and appear to be regrouping and rethinking the implications of this delay.

The bank stocks however still look sick and the trends are clearly down in this sector.

The Shanghai and Hong Kong indexes are also looking very negative as are most equity indexes around the world. The only index that is looking positive using our trade triangle technology is the Malaysian index.

Let's take a look at the major markets now... Continue reading "Would you have bet on the Malaysian Index?" →

Traders Toolbox: Momentum Revisited...

Posted on by The INO.com Team

MarketClub is known for our "Trade Triangle" technology. However, if you have used other technical analysis indicators previously, you can use a combination of the studies and other techniques in conjunction with the "Trade Triangles" to further confirm trends.

Momentum measures the change in a commodity's price with time. M = Pc-Pn where M = momentum, Pc = current period's price and Pn = price n periods ago.

The length of time used for the prior period is a matter of personal preference and time horizon of the trader. A narrow window of less than five periods back would be short-term in nature while six to nine periods would be considered intermediate; 10 or more would be a longer time perspective.

Which is more exciting: the market of late or a game of Pong? You choose.

Hello traders everywhere, Adam Hewison here co-founder of MarketClub with your 1 p.m. market update for Friday the 17th of June.

I guess the most common expression I'm hearing is "kick the can down the road.". It would seem as though politicians the world over are pretty much the same. None of them wants to face the truth that there is no more money. So what do they do they, "kick the can down the road."

And once again the taxpayers have to come up with the money. Lending more money to Greece is the height of insanity in my opinion simply because how can they possibly pay back the first tranches of money that was already lent to them? But that's what's happened today; Merkle and Sarkozy  made concessions and basically declared that "happy days are here again," but are they really? I was talking to a good friend of mine this morning who is one of the smartest people I know and I asked him point-blank, what do you think of the global and US economy? Here is what he said to me, "It is a time to be cautious and guarded." Those were his exact words. I'll let you think about that.

So okay enough of what my smart friends think, let's look and see what the market thinks about everything.

Here's what's happening in the major markets right now ... Continue reading "Which is more exciting: the market of late or a game of Pong? You choose." →

RIMM - From "CrackBerry" to oblivion in one fell swoop?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Research in Motion (NASDAQ:RIMM), the makers of the BlackBerry aka "CrackBerry," is down more than 20% in trading today after some pretty bad earnings reports.

Now if you're a trader that relies heavily on fundamentals, you may have been caught in this dive.

However, MarketClub members came out ahead of the game by simply following the "Trade Triangles" which had us out of RIMM in March at $64.25... a far cry from the high $20 range we're currently trading at.
