Time Was on My Side with Amazon

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way…

The Big Picture

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your 1 p.m. market update for Tuesday, the 13th of September.

Let's take a look at the big picture and what it means today. There are a number times when the markets trade erratically. When this happens, you get out of the market with some quick move either up or down against you. Then, the market immediately goes your way the next day and afterwards you say to yourself, "I should've stayed in!"

That's why it's important to look at the big picture, and the big trends. What looked like a possible reversal yesterday, did not change the big trends in the markets. It just doesn't happen in one day.

So let's look at the big trends in the various markets we cover. Equity markets, the big trend is down. Metal markets, the big trend is up. Crude oil, the big trend is down. The dollar index, the big trend is up. And lastly, the CRB index, the big trend is down.

Providing you are trading in the direction of the major trend, you have the odds in your favor. Always remember to keep your trading logs and game plan up-to-date. They will help you become a better trader.

Now, let's go to the 6 major markets we track every day and see how we can create and maintain your wealth in 2011. Continue reading "The Big Picture"

What's Bugging The Markets?

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your 1 p.m. market update for Monday, the 12th of September.

As we mentioned at the end of August, September is a pretty treacherous month for the equity markets.

Here's what's bugging the markets at the moment:

(1) The total lack of a plan coming out of Europe for solving the sovereign debt problem.

(2) The total lack of a plan in the US to solve the unemployment problem.

Until these two very important elements are resolved, we're going to see continued volatility in all the markets. We will continue to rely on our Trade Triangle technology to "separate the wheat from the chaff," so to speak.

In the type of market that we are currently in, it is imperative to have a game plan. Emotion is the number one account killer for most traders and having a cohesive game plan removes most of a trader's emotion from these markets.

Now, let's go to the 6 major markets we track every day and see how we can create and maintain your wealth in 2011. Continue reading "What's Bugging The Markets?"

Special Weekend Update: Greece is getting market down!!

Hello fellow traders everywhere. Adam Hewison here co-founder of MarketClub with your weekend update for the trading week ending on 9/09/2011.

What comes after Greece? The simple answer is disaster!

It seems inevitable that Greece is going to default, and who can blame them? The Germans don't want to put any more money into this disaster and now they are circling the wagons to protect their  own banks.

If the politicians knew anything about trading, they would have cut their losses on Greece a long time ago. We have ranted  about this dysfunctional country in the past. Greece cannot be considered in the same league, as powerhouse countries like Germany or France. Both those countries actually have economies that work for the most part. Greece on the other hand, is all about the Acropolis, ouzo and other Greek wonders from the past. There is nothing in the future for this country except to default and start all over again. Sooner or later the truth will come out, and the politicians will not be able to kick the can down the road any longer.

Let's go take a look at the markets and see how we can preserve and protect and grow your wealth in 2011. Continue reading "Special Weekend Update: Greece is getting market down!!"
