What's really going on in the markets?

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Monday, the 26th of November.

EQUITIES EXPLODE TO THE UPSIDE, BUT IS THE MOVE FOR REAL?
Last Friday the equity markets jumped dramatically to the upside. Is this a turnaround reversal, or is just a dead cat bounce in a longer-term bear market? At the present time our Trade Triangles are in a negative mode indicating that it was a short covering rally in a bear market.

YES! GOLD EXPLODES TO THE UPSIDE
The Wednesday before Thanksgiving we said to watch gold, as a move over the $1,738 level basis spot gold would indicate that all is not well fiscally in the world. This level was breached last Friday in a shortened trading week. With all of our Trade Triangles in a positive mode, you should now be fully long gold to protect your purchasing power.

Gold Chart of the Week

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Each week Longleaftrading.com will be providing us a chart of the week as analyzed by a member of their team. We hope that you enjoy and learn from this new feature.

WEEKLY GOLD REPORT (November 26 through November 30)

After a strong finish last week in most major global markets, we begin this week flat after the festivities.

Following the Thanksgiving Holiday in the United States, traders were lined up to buy anything that they could get their hands on during Friday’s shortened trading day. It seemed that markets were still reacting from news earlier in the week, and probably taking advantage of the light volume opportunity.

Throughout the shortened week, markets like Gold were moving sideways to higher following news in the United States that Democrats and Republicans were enthusiastic about the upcoming “Fiscal Cliff” negotiations. Across the pond, European news suggested that while no final decisions were made regarding Greece yet, a good old fashioned can-kicking would suffice. The Eurogroup/IMF Meeting will continue today to decide on Greek Debt and the next tranche of cash. Prior to the meeting, it was reported that “considerable progress” has been made. Apparently, these delayed decisions were enough for investors like George Soros and John Paulson to report they had added to their already hefty long Gold positions.

All eyes on the Fiscal Cliff today

Posted on by The INO.com Team

After moving notably higher last week, stocks may move back to the downside in early trading on Monday. The major index futures are currently pointing to a moderately lower open for the markets, with the Dow futures down by 37 points.

Lingering concerns about the looming fiscal cliff may generate selling pressure as U.S. lawmakers get back to work following the Thanksgiving recess.

While leaders of both parties have called for compromise, the issues of taxes on the wealthy and entitlement reform are likely to remain major sticking points. Continue reading "All eyes on the Fiscal Cliff today" →

Rick Rule: Be a Risk Manager, Not a Reward Chaser

Posted on by admin

The Gold Report: Rick, you believe the natural resources sector is experiencing a cyclical decline in a secular bull market similar to the 1970s. Is that true for other sectors as well?

Rick Rule: I learned the hard way not to assume that my success in the natural resource business was transferable to other sectors, so I am going to stick with resources.

However, there are parallels with the gold market. In the 1970s, we had a spectacular resource market, in particular for gold. Its price soared from $35/ounce (oz) to $850/oz. By 1975, in the middle of that secular bull market, gold had fallen to $100/oz. Those who sold at the bottom missed an 800% move in six years.

"I own gold the way that I own life, auto or homeowner insurance. I regard it as catastrophe insurance."

It is important to understand that in cyclical markets like resources, declines in secular markets are to be expected. From my point of view, you need to understand cyclical declines for what they aresales.

TGR: Is it fair to think that the prices of natural resources will bounce back as they did in 1970s, when the recession was much shorter and not as global? Continue reading "Rick Rule: Be a Risk Manager, Not a Reward Chaser" →
