Today's Video Newsletter: Et tu, Cyprus?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Monday, the 18th of March.

Et Tu, Cyprus?
"Et tu, Cyprus?", meaning "Even you, Cyprus?" (or 'You too, Cyprus?') is Latin, often used poetically as "Et tu, Brute?" to represent the last words of Roman dictator Julius Caesar to his friend Marcus Brutus at the moment of his assassination.

Once again, the problems in Europe resurface not with Greece this time, but with Cyprus, the largest inhabited island in the Mediterranean. Is Cyprus the tip of the iceberg? Cyprus is a very small part of the EU economy, representing only about .5% of total EU output. What is really going on here is not so much what percentage Cyprus represents, but rather the seizure of bank funds and breaking the law to get them. According to law, every bank account in Cyprus is guaranteed or insured for €100,000. Here is the risk as I see it in the Euro equation, Continue reading "Today's Video Newsletter: Et tu, Cyprus?" →

Today's Video Newsletter: The Whale That Swallowed J.P. Morgan

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Friday, the 15th of March.

The Whale Trade That Won't Die
I'm sure by now you've heard of the disastrous whale trade that was made by J.P. Morgan (JPM) that came out of their London office. This trade cost J.P. Morgan a cool $6 billion. Well, the folks responsible for this trade are getting grilled on Capitol Hill today and I doubt seriously if anything will ever come of the "kabuki theater." Today's hearings allow Senators to pontificate and look very serious, as it plays well in their voting districts. Normally these type of Washington theatrics have very little effect on what's going on in the real world and in the marketplace. Today we will be looking at J.P. Morgan to see how this stock has performed so far this year. Continue reading "Today's Video Newsletter: The Whale That Swallowed J.P. Morgan" →

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Wednesday, the 13th of March.

THE SMARTPHONE WARS - WHO IS GOING TO WIN?
Samsung is pulling out all the stops today with the launch of its new smartphone, the Galaxy S4. It has been reported that Samsung is spending upwards of $440 million to launch and promote this product. This is in contrast to the $330 million Apple spent on its iPhone launch. The stakes could not be higher as both companies are engaged in a global battle for command of the $400 billion mobile device industry.

Today's Video Newsletter: Facebook and NetFlix form an alliance to learn more about you

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Wednesday, the 13th of March.

THE FACEBOOK - NETFLIX ALLIANCE
Today Netflix and Facebook announced a sharing of data. You can view this in two ways, either it's very destructive, "these folks are learning way too much about my habits," or you can look upon it as a business opportunity. For Netflix, I believe it is more of a plus than it is for Facebook. The new add-on service tells you about what movies your friends are watching and in-turn, it tells your friends what movies you are watching. This could be a very positive move for Netflix. We have been bullish on Netflix for quite some time (12/04/12 @ $89.45) and this is yet another strong signal that Netflix can move higher and over the $200 mark. At the present time, we have upside target zones of $200, $220 for this stock. Continue reading "Today's Video Newsletter: Facebook and NetFlix form an alliance to learn more about you" →
