Today's Video Newsletter: Did the right team win the Super Bowl?

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Monday, the 4th of February.

Did the right team win the Super Bowl? Well, if you are bullish on the general market, the answer has to be no. If you are unsure on equities the answer is yes, the right team did win the Super Bowl. According to legend, when an AFC team wins the big one, the odds favor the stock market ending the year with a mediocre gain of around 3%. The last time the Baltimore Ravens won the Super Bowl the market closed down 11% that year. When a NFC team wins the Super Bowl, the stock market closes out the year with a average gain of over 10%. Maybe, just maybe, that is why the market is lower today? Continue reading "Today's Video Newsletter: Did the right team win the Super Bowl?"

Currency Futures--- The U.S dollar this week continued its grinding bear market hitting a fresh 1 year low against the Euro currency down for the 4th consecutive trading session trading far below its 20 and 100 day moving average continuing the trend downward and in my opinion I believe the U.S dollar is headed sharply lower in the coming months due to the fact of the constant printing of money from the Federal Reserve and the easy monetary policies of the Obama administration while the Japanese yen continues is unbelievable bearish trend hitting a new 2 ½ year low down 3 consecutive trading days on another 140 points this Friday afternoon at 10809 and as I’ve stated many times in previous blogs I believe the yen is going 105 -100 because the Japanese government is forcing their currency lower to try to spur exports and Continue reading "Weekly Futures Recap with Mike Seery"
