Gone Fishin ...

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Just a quick heads up.

I am heading to New Zealand for a two week holiday.

Taking a break from the markets is never a bad thing. It allows you to recharge your batteries and enjoy family. I will be visiting my daughter Brittany who will be getting married next year to a great Kiwi guy.

I plan on returning to the States on May 4th.

Til then, all the best to all our great MarketClub members and readers of this blog.

P.S. I also hope to get some great New Zealand fly fishing in while I'm away.

Using Ratio Charts to Gain an Edge, Part 2

Posted on by The INO.com Team

SO I asked Gary to come back and fill in the holes that I felt were missing, and more importantly, what our users felt was missing. Please enjoy the article, visit Gary's blog, and let the COMMENTS FLY!

====================================================================

In July of 2008 it was my pleasure to provide the INO Traders' Blog this look at ratio charts and the edge they can provide as they often tell a not readily apparent story regarding inter-market relationships.

Today, as we look at the market revival I have been calling Hope '09 and some ratios I consider of paramount importance, gold ratio charts are heavily in play.

The first chart I want to look at is the price of gold divided by units of the S&P 500.

Today Sterling moved over the key 1.50 level in interbank trading. We have been waiting for this to happen (see our video).

It appears that this market is headed higher against the dollar.

Watch this video again for target levels.

The financial industry brought the economy to its knees, but how did they get away with it?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

The financial industry brought the economy to its knees, but how did they get away with it? With the nation wondering how to hold the bankers accountable, Bill Moyers sits down with William K. Black, the former senior regulator who cracked down on banks during the savings and loan crisis of the 1980s. Black offers his analysis of what went wrong and his critique of the bailout.
