"Saturday Seminars" - Value Investing

Posted on January 24, 2009February 25, 2010 by lindsay

Commodity trading involves a high degree of leverage. That leverage allows for large returns, but also large losses. Due to the high degree of risk involved in high leverage, anyone involved in commodity trading should be aware of the risks - and gain as much understanding of trading strategies as possible.

In this informative session, Hal Masover will discuss value investing in general and the specific technique of scale trading.

Value investing is an intermediate- to long-term investment method that takes advantage of supply/demand imbalances occurring in most physical commodity markets. Although this time-tested method has been around since at least 1975, it is not well known among traders. As a leading expert on the topic, Hal will provide you with in-depth, up-to-date information on this important technique.

This market is getting wound up ... so pay attention (New Gold Video)

Posted on January 23, 2009February 10, 2009 by The INO.com Team

I think that the gold market is getting wound up. If I'm right, we're going to see an explosion in gold to the upside.

Here's the reasoning behind my optimism for this market: Right now we're seeing gold in an accumulation phase. A move over the $875 level in the spot market will signal the first step to propelling gold in an accelerated upward trajectory.

Certainly a move over the $890 level, basis spot, will begin to bring in many new buyers. When this happens, I expect gold to go into a crisis mode as more and more people look to preserve their capital and seek haven in this yellow metal.

Watch video here:

I would not be surprised to see more backing and filling as the bull market regenerates itself for an upward move. What may create this is a further deterioration in the world equity and banking markets, and the potential of nationalizing the banks both in Europe and in the States.

While this seems extreme, we are living in difficult times. It even appears to be getting even more complicated and fragile. I do not see any fast turnaround, via the new Obama administration, and I think they have been given an impossible task.

There is no guarantee that spending ourselves out of this recession is going to work. It even sounds like a silly plan when you say it out loud, "Let's spend our way out of a crisis that started from spending what we don't have." We will be printing more money and devaluing the dollar and its purchasing power. This can only be reflected in higher gold prices as investors try to maintain their purchasing power.

I have given you the key levels to look for. If these levels are broken on the upside, I would ask that you seriously think about taking long positions in this market. Currently, the April electronic contract is the one that has the most liquidity and that's the one to look at if you're not trading in the spot gold market.

Every success in the markets and in life,

5 Major trading pitfalls you must avoid at all costs!

Posted on January 20, 2009January 22, 2009 by The INO.com Team

5 Major Trading Pitfalls you must avoid at all costs!

What every investor and trader MUST AVOID to succeed.

Pitfall #1. Betting the farm. Let's be realistic. Not every trade is going to be a winner. Here is a simple rule for you to remember. Never commit more than 10% to any one position. When I was trading in the pits in Chicago I heard for the first time about the "RIOTRADE". Simply put, you take a huge position in the market. If it works out, you are a hero. If you lose, you leave home and head for Brazil. Again, NEVER BET THE FARM ON ANY POSITION.

Pitfall #2. Planting too few seeds. This one goes hand in hand with the first pitfall. The key here is diversification and following several markets. Ken watches 30 markets and looks for profit opportunities in each one as they occur. PLANT MORE SEEDS AND YOU CAN ENJOY MORE WINNERS.

Pitfall #3. Jumping the gun. Patience, patience, patience. This is perhaps one of the toughest things for traders to remember, particularly after they have taken some good money out of the market. JUMPING INTO A MARKET BEFORE ALL INDICATORS ARE POSITIVE CAN CAUSE UNNECESSARY LOSSES.

Pitfall #4. The hope trap. This is one of those pitfalls that goes completely against human nature and it is the biggest account killer. What I am talking about is hanging onto a losing position in the desperate hope that it will turn around. A SIMPLE SOLUTION IS TO ALWAYS PLACE A STOP ON EVERY MARKET POSITION AND DO NOT CANCEL IT!

Pitfall #5. Leaving the barn door open. Don't let your profit evaporate. Once you are in a profit situation continue to move your protective stop to lock in a profit. STOPS ARE IMPORTANT TO BOTH PROTECT INVESTMENT CAPITAL AND LOCK IN PROFITS.
