Holiday Greetings from MarketClub

Holiday Greetings from MarketClub

This year, the holiday spirit has invaded MarketClub. It happens every year at this time, but fear not, we'll be back with the normal lineup of news, inspiration, and tutorials in January.

As the year winds down and 2010 approaches, we want to say a heartfelt “thank you”. INO and MarketClub have been blessed with another wonderful and profitable year and we are deeply grateful to you — our members, well-wishers, and fans. Thanks for pushing us to greater excellence, bearing with us when we fall short, and telling others in your circle about MarketClub. It's a privilege to work for you.

May all your days be merry, bright, and the New Year bring health and wealth to you and your family.

Leading Market Trends for 2010

For today's guest blog post, I've invited Amey S. from The Wild Investor to share some things to look for in the markets for 2010. Please share your thoughts for 2010 by commenting on this post.

===================================================================

If you have followed any of my work, then I’m sure you’re well aware of the simplicity I try to put towards stock trading - especially when it comes to spotting trends. In theory, I like to think of trends as a cause-effect relationship.

Due to situation A, sector B should perform well. Then, go find solid companies in sector B that fall under your trading strategy.

As we inch closer to shutting the door on a relatively successful 2009, yet miserable decade in the stock market, we must now focus our attention on the New Year. The upcoming year will not only mark the start of a new decade, but it will also jumpstart the “new” market, a “new” way of doing business, and the “new” way consumers behave. Basically 2010 should be everything that the first decade of the new millennium wasn't.

"MarketClub is known for our “Trade Triangle” technology. However, if you have used other technical analysis indicators previously, you can use a combination of the studies and other techniques in conjunction with the “Trade Triangles” to further confirm trends.

The stochastics indicator created by George Lane measures the relative position of the closing price within a given time interval. This indicator is based upon the premise that prices tend to close near the upper portion of a trading range during uptrends and near the lower portion of a trading range during downtrends. When prices close in the middle of a range, this suggests a sideways market. There are two components to this calculation, the %K value and the %D value. The %K is calculated as follows: %K= (C-Ln / Hn – Ln) x 100 where C = closing price of current period, Ln = lowest low during n time periods. Hn = highest high during n time periods and n = number of periods.

The %D value is the moving average of the %K value. The simple moving average calculation is: %D = 100 (Hn / Ln) also in the %K formula..."
