Double Digit Returns In Q3 For The World Cup Portfolio

Posted on by The INO.com Team

The World Cup Portfolio once again showed its resilience and produced a solid return of just over 16% in Q3. For many traders, Q3 was a difficult quarter and there were certainly parts of the World Cup Portfolio that did not fare well either during this quarter. However, those losses were offset with profits from other parts of the portfolio. That is one of the principal reasons why the portfolio trades six different markets that have a low correlation rate.

In case you are not familiar with MarketClub's World Cup Portfolio, here are the six markets: corn, wheat, soybeans, crude oil, gold and the dollar index. Out of those six markets, the portfolio made money in five of them, the only disappointment was the dollar index which has proven to be a frustrating, trend-less market over the last couple of quarters.

Here are the individual results for each market trading one contract. Continue reading "Double Digit Returns In Q3 For The World Cup Portfolio" →

A Clear Winner Is Emerging From The 'Megabrew' Merger

Posted on by admin

The "King of Beers," AB InBev (NYSE:BUD) has had some problems of late. To solve them, the $178 billion maker of Budweiser and Corona is doing what any large company does in that situation. It's trying to buy a better company and steal their growth.

You may recall the enormous $52 billion merger between Anheuser-Busch and InBev back in 2008. Some investors -- and beer drinkers -- never truly forgave the maker of Bud for relocating overseas. Yet, I don't think that's what's causing the company's operating mess today.

AB InBev suffers from the simple problem of too few drinkers. For the first time in 30 years, beer volume is set to decrease globally this year.

To make matters worse, the major beer makers like InBev have been forced to compete with an explosion of craft beer and smaller breweries like Dogfish Head and New Belgium.

The volume of craft beer sold in the United States has more than tripled over the last decade: Continue reading "A Clear Winner Is Emerging From The 'Megabrew' Merger" →

US Stocks: The TrendLine Between Bull and Bear

By: Elliott Wave International

Last weekend, I went on a road trip with a friend and her two young sons. The second we left the driveway, the older boy placed a rubber pool noodle in between him and his brother and established the most important ground rule of all sibling driving trips:

"Don't cross this line or else."

Impressively, an entire hour passed without incident when my friend spied the younger son teasingly edging his elbow toward the very outskirts of the noodle, baiting his luck.

Anticipating the ensuing reversal of our event-free driving experience, my friend pre-emptively pulled over to the side of the road, when in -- 3-2-1! -- a small arm crossed the line and a giant tantrum ensued.

Then, it hit me: Continue reading "US Stocks: The TrendLine Between Bull and Bear" →

How To Successfully Outwit, Outsmart And Out-Invest The Billionaire Hedge Fund Crowd

Posted on by The INO.com Team

A few days ago on October 7th, I published updated results of MarketClub's Internet portfolio and showed you how that portfolio has far out-performed the top billionaire hedge fund managers so far this year. You can read what I said and see the results of how the portfolio did right here. I have seen lots of questions since then about how MarketClub's Internet portfolio works, so I decided to make a video. The video is a step-by-step tutorial that shows in detail exactly how trades are executed. I am making this video available free for a limited time to non-MarketClub members today. I am hoping that when you watch the video, you will see just how powerful this approach to trading is and how it managed to outwit, outsmart and out-invest the billionaire hedge fund crowd.

Weekly Futures Recap With Mike Seery

Posted on by The INO.com Team

We've asked Michael Seery of SEERYFUTURES.COM to give our INO readers a weekly recap of the Futures market. He has been Senior Analyst for close to 15 years and has extensive knowledge of all of the commodity and option markets.

Michael frequently appears on multiple business networks including Bloomberg news, Fox Business, CNBC Worldwide, CNN Business, and Bloomberg TV. He is also a guest on First Business, which is a national and internationally syndicated business show.

Gold Futures

Gold futures in the December contract settled last Friday in New York at 1,136 an ounce while currently trading at 1,154 trading above its 20 and 100 day moving average for the 1st time in many months as the trend has now turned to the upside, however the chart structure is very poor at the current time as the 10 day low is to for away so I’m sitting on the sidelines waiting for a tighter stop to develop. Many of the commodity markets have rallied in the last week including the energy sector & precious metals as the next major level of resistance is around 1,170 as a short-term bottom certainly looks like it’s developed, but be patient and wait for better chart structure which could take a couple more weeks as the U.S dollar continues its short-term bearish trend helping support the commodity and gold market. Gold prices have remained very choppy over the last six weeks with high volatility so if you want to trade this market place the proper amount of contracts risking 2% of your account balance on any given trade, but in my opinion this market remains choppy and is very difficult to trade successfully.
