Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here co-founder of MarketClub with your 1 p.m. market update for Thursday, the 21st of July.
Stocks traded higher for the day despite the nagging unemployment problem here in the US. This week marks the 15th week in a row that jobless claims for unemployment benefits have been over the 400,000 mark. This is not exactly great news for the White House.
A second bailout for Greece seems to be finished and a done deal. Does that mean the first bailout didn't work? Does anyone in Europe really think that this second bailout is going to work? There's no way the Greeks can or will pay back these loans, of that I'm pretty certain.

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your 1 p.m. market update for Wednesday, the 20th of July.
Right after we had finished our 1 PM update, the President came on TV and indicated that the gang of six had come to some magical debt agreement. That was all that was needed to rally the equity markets and push down the price of gold and silver. Let me just say this, it's not a done deal until it's a done deal and I don't think this deal will get done.
The action in gold and silver today and the fact that they are both higher on the day right now, indicates that yesterday was probably a buying opportunity in both of these metals.
Let's just recap what has really happened. Nothing has changed, we still have major, major debt problems ahead of us. As I mentioned in yesterday's 1 PM update, I wanted to see how the markets closed for the day. I think today is going to be even more important, as we are in the middle of the trading week and we still have the potential for a lot more news to come out. Last week we closed at 1316 on the S&P 500 and for the month we closed around 1320. We'll be watching to see if the S&P 500 will keep its upward momentum or have another push down to the 1300 level.
Now, let's go to the markets and see how we can protect and make your money grow in 2011.

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your 1 p.m. market update for Tuesday, the 19th of July.
The Bulls battled back today and forced many of the Bears to cover their short positions in the equity markets. However, nothing has changed, nothing has been resolved, and we still have the same unresolved debt problems.
Gold and silver continue to hold well and look to be purchased on pullbacks from current levels. Crude oil popped to the upside today and remains in a broad trading range with no clear-cut direction.
All in all it's been a pretty boring session so far on a Tuesday. What I really want to see is how these markets close today, and more importantly, how they close for the week. If we have a lower close for the week in the equity markets we would consider that to be an early sign of a potential bear market.
Now, let's go to the markets and see how we can protect and make your money grow in 2011.

The current market bias is positive, but there’s some concern about the chart. The S&P 500 breached its 50-day moving average (MA) on Monday before rallying, but has failed to mount any sustainable rebound, currently stuck around its 50-day MA. My concern is that failure to edge higher could drive the index back lower and continue the sideways channel in existence since February.
The absence of any strong catalyst could leave the broader market comatose for the summer months.
On the S&P 500, there is key support around 1,250. A break below would be bearish and see a move below 1,200. I expect the support to hold. On the upper end, there is strict resistance around 1,362. A strong break above could drive additional gains towards 1,400. Continue reading "An Investment Strategy For Higher-risk Periods"
