Yes Hewlett-Packard, "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do." But, UBS analyst Steven Milunovich thinks it may be your only hope to get stock prices back up.

With a 44.8 percent loss for the year, NYSE:HPQ is struggling with management and failing division of their company.

The company's current position is maintaining "One HP", with the belief that the company is stronger together, rather than apart. Whether "prompted by activists or private equity", HP may need to reconsider that stance, according to UBS.

Milunovich explained that some parts of the business are dragging down the better ones. So by cutting those anchor ties, the company's stock may still be able to float. Milunovich estimated the value of the company's parts could be over $20 a share, versus the current $14.27.

Regardless if Hewlett-Packard decides to break up and sell off failing entities, MarketClub members aren't too worried. After all, they are sitting on a nice profit year-to-date using the Trade Triangle technology.

The short video above will demonstrate that with a $10K investment in HPQ share, MarketClub members walked away with an additional $4,464.62 in their pockets. Watch this video above.

How to Trade E-mini Price Channels

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Trading Price Channels is a dynamic yet easy to learn form of trading that relies on the markets natural tendency to trend. It is a type of technical analysis that provides ideal areas from which to buy and sell. Price Channels also show you where to put your stop-loss and where to take your profit. Here are a few of the best ways to take advantage of information the market freely gives you.

STOP ORDERS DO NOT NECESSARILY LIMIT YOUR LOSS TO THE STOP PRICE BECAUSE STOP ORDERS, IF THE PRICE IS HIT, BECOME MARKET ORDERS AND, DEPENDING ON MARKET CONDITIONS, THE ACTUAL FILL PRICE CAN BE DIFFERENT FROM THE STOP PRICE. IF A MARKET REACHED ITS DAILY PRICE FLUCTUATION LIMIT, A “LIMIT MOVE”, IT MAY BE IMPOSSIBLE TO EXECUTE A STOP LOSS ORDER.

In technical analysis, a Price Channel is defined by two parallel trend lines. The upper trend line connects price highs and the lower trend line connects price lows. Here are examples of 3 types of Price Channels. Continue reading "How to Trade E-mini Price Channels" →

Daily Video Update: America doesn't run on gold, it runs on …

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Tuesday, the 9th of October.

Have you ever try stuffing a gold bar in your fuel tank?

I am sure you haven't, and that is the point I want to make today. America runs on number two diesel fuel, not on gold bars. Without fuel, America's economy is dead in the water.

Every year the world needs more and more energy. China and India provide good examples as the working class are moving from bicycles to mopeds and in some cases, even cars. All this upward mobility takes energy, and the energy for now is petroleum based.

India and China have a combined population of 2.9 billion, representing 36% of the world's population. To put that in perspective, that is 9.2 times the size of the United States.

And here's the wild card, and it's a big one: "The Middle East". What is going to happen in the most unstable part of the world? Any major disruption in that area will cause oil prices to skyrocket. Continue reading "Daily Video Update: America doesn't run on gold, it runs on …" →

Brock Salier Unlocks the Secrets of Gold Miner Valuations

Posted on by admin

The Gold Report: Brock, your research suggests that the production margins of gold companies are near all-time highs. Why has that not translated to share price appreciation?

Brock Salier: The weak equity markets play a role in the disconnect between gold prices and gold equities, but a lot has to do with maturing gold assets.

A lot of gold mines were funded between 2007 and 2009 and commissioned between 2008 and 2010. Most companies typically mine above their reserve grade for the first one to three years to speed capital and debt repayments. But, if they have not found an expansion and completed a feasibility study, or if they lack a new mine to develop, that grade has to fall. As production falls, cost rises and share prices legitimately fall along with profits.

TGR: Can you go into a bit more detail about that concept, which is known as "high grading?" Continue reading "Brock Salier Unlocks the Secrets of Gold Miner Valuations" →

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 (10-8 through 10-12)

We begin this week at the bottom end of a three week range in December Gold futures. Since Thursdays test of the early March high near $1800, we have settled back almost thirty dollars an ounce on Columbus Day in the Unites States. Bonds will be closed today, while equities and other markets will be trading on lighter volume.

After the United States reported Non-Farm Payrolls on Friday, the sentiment in the markets overall has been mixed. The number sent many futures contracts rallying to chart resistance Friday, only to run into profit taking shortly thereafter. It is clear that NFP takes a back seat to the continued worries in Europe. Continue reading "Gold Chart of the Week" →
