Gold and Bitcoin: Currencies of the Future - James Turk

Posted on by admin

The Gold Report: James, from your perspective in Europe, is the region in as bad a financial crisis as it appears in the headlines here in the U.S.?

James Turk: Yes, it really is. However, Europe is a big place, and you have to look at the individual countries one by one to understand the situation. Generally speaking, the Mediterranean countries are in the worst shape. Germany has been in the best shape, although recent economic data indicate it may be falling into a recession again. France is not quite as bad as the Mediterranean countries, but in economic activity, it is worse off than Germany and the rest of Northern Europe.

TGR: What role does the euro play in all this, and where might the next crisis take place? Continue reading "Gold and Bitcoin: Currencies of the Future - James Turk" →

Poll: Benghazi, IRS, AP scandals

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Three major topics/scandals at the top of the news this week are the Benghazi terror attack, the IRS targeting conservative groups and the Justice Department going after AP phone records. For me, the most important and scariest one of the bunch is the IRS targeting conservative groups. I find it very unsettling that the IRS can have so much power to freely do what they want to do. As for the other two topics/scandals, I'm not sure what to think, other than Obama just needs to speak the truth for a change. With that said, we wanted to have a quick poll to see....

Which of the three scandals are most important to you?

Why Futures for Stock Traders?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

By: Leslie Burton

Whether you have traded a stock account for years or have just begun stock trading, you may have mixed results. Perhaps you have taken a course or you are simply well-read in your investment choices. The questions that every investor, trader and wealth manager must ask are, Am I diversified enough to produce a smooth equity curve with my portfolio? and Will this portfolio be weighted well enough to stand worst-case-scenario market conditions? If you hesitate to answer those questions, then perhaps taking a look at other products may broaden your knowledge and enhance your current investment portfolio.

The beauty of trading stocks online is that it keeps overhead costs down by trading out of your home. You will have immediate access to market information along with your account to place trades as you check the stock earnings, operating costs and any news that may impact the company. Typically, the cost of doing business is your low commission rate, use of your home computer and any subscription material to keep you informed. Most trading occurs in expanded hours, giving the investor time to trade whether it is a full-time or secondary job. The online platform allows the trader convenient access to the funds in his/her account readily. Continue reading "Why Futures for Stock Traders?" →

Stocks rise further as optimism prevails

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Stocks pushed higher Tuesday as investors remained optimistic that economic growth is picking up, but not so much that the U.S. Federal Reserve will start to wind down its stimulus program imminently.

Over the past few weeks, investors have been picked up by a wave of optimism over a range of issues including the prospects for the U.S. economy following a run of forecast-busting jobs figures.

That has pushed several indexes to record highs. The Dow Jones industrial average and the broader S&P 500 index both hit new highs on Tuesday.

Waning fears over Europe's debt crisis and the bold attempt by Japan's monetary authorities to shake off a two-decade economic stagnation have also helped. Continue reading "Stocks rise further as optimism prevails" →

For the Week of May 13, 2013

The GBE Trade Spotlight advisory service applies the GBE trading methodology (buying or selling commodity contracts based on breakouts of chart formations and technical indicators) to identify one to two trade setups per week.

Highlighting This Week’s Potential Breakouts:

June 2013 British Pound

The June 2013 British Pound futures contract closed below a lower trend line on Friday. There are touches on the trend line at 1.4823 (3/12/13), 1.5027 (4/04/13), and 1.5192 (4/23/13). The Trend Seeker (a US Chart Company tool to help identify market trend) is Neutral. The MACD, a trend indicator, is bearish and above the baseline. Although MACD is bearish, until the Trend Seeker changes to a Downtrend, there is no entry trigger confirmation. Continue reading "Beyond the "Spotlight"" →
