Another war and then another war and then... what is this Groundhog Day?

If you haven't heard the latest news about North Korea attacking and making aggressive moves towards Yeonpyeonga, a small South Korean island, you missed what moved the gold market today.

South Korea scrambled fighter jets and returned artillery fire after North Korea provoked the peninsula’s most serious confrontation in decades.

What you probably did not know was the $20 move up in gold today was signaled the day before by our "Trade Triangles." How was this possible? It has everything to do with some very cool technology developed by MarketClub.

Your vote really does count on MarketClub

Let me begin by thanking all of those who took part in our recent poll on GM. As you know, GM began trading as a new company last week. We were happy to see that many of you had a pretty strong feeling about what you want to do or do not want to do with this stock.

As of this writing we have received 1,744 votes. Out of those votes, 78% of you said you would not be interested in buying GM stock. In fact, Steve said in his feedback, "Americans may shun GM but China is getting behind the wheel." I must say that it was interesting for me to hear that they're selling cars in China. That may be true, but during my visit I did not see that many Chevys in Shanghai or Beijing. What I did see were an awful lot of VWs and Audis. These two brands seemed to dominate the Chinese market.

I'm often asked if I would actually trade in GM stock. Well, I would when we have more data and a compelling reason to do so. Right now like many Americans I'm very leery of having the government involvement in any type of investments. The government does not have a successful track record in any endeavor that I've seen them take. If there are any readers of this blog the could share some government success, we certainly would be happy to post it right here.

Let's take a look at some of our other comments on GM: Continue reading "Your vote really does count on MarketClub"

There's no quick fix for the global economy.

Regardless of what others might say, there is no quick fix for the global economy.

To illustrate this point, a friend of mine recently sent me a chart which I would like to share with you. This charts shows that we may be going into a prolonged period of no growth in the overall stock market. The NASDAQ peaked at 5,132.52 on March 10th, 2000. The NASDAQ market is in many ways more important than the DOW, and should be considered more of a leading indicator. If that is truly the case, then we have been in a bear market for the last eight years.

Trading throughout the balance of this decade and into the early part of the next decade is going to be the key to survival and for recovering the profits in your portfolio. We strongly recommend that you approach these markets with some level of expertise and knowledge of technical trading.

The future is going to be the future and we need to take advantage of every moment and prepare ourselves to be the very best we can be in whatever business or endeavor we are pursuing.

What do you think is going to happen to the world economy in the next 7 years?

Is The New China The Real McCoy? (Part II)

Last week I wrote about Hong Kong and its ability to pretty much stay a capitalist economy. In fact, in mainland China they refer to their countries economic policies as, "one country, two systems." Today we're going to talk about the other system that I call "The New China."

<<<<< This is the new MarketClub Chop in Mandarin Chinese

Besides seeing the historic sites with my wife, we traveled quite extensively covering  over 3,500 miles in the new China. I not only want to share with you my travel thoughts on some of these amazing historic sites, but also my thoughts on the Chinese economy. I am also going to let you in on an easy way to figure out what's going on in China at any time.

So let's get started…
