Short term pops...how do we play them?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

We're often asked at MarketClub just how to play short-term pops. Regardless if you are looking at stocks, futures, or the forex market, it's always the same for us in the office and thousands of MarketClub members... MarketClub Alerts.

Today I have a brand new video that looks deeper into the MarketClub Alerts and a couple of Swine Flu moves that MarketClub members really nailed! I also look into the Pork Bellies recent action, and a non-Swine Flu stock that recently made a nice move that the Alerts kept me on the right side of!

You see, no matter what happens, what methods you use, or what markets you trade, the following is always true: If you're the first to know, you're the first to profit!

This applies to our trading strategy, MarketClub Alerts, and the steps we need to take to capture profits and stay on the winning side of those short-term moves.

Please enjoy the video on two Swine Flu plays, a non-Swine Flu pop, and the Pork Bellies! As always its with our compliments.

All comments are welcome and you will need the latest Flash Player to enjoy the video.

In the short term, the precious metals, especially Gold, are trading counter to the stock market, but we have also seen precious metals rally along with stock market during the 2003 and 2008 bull cycle.  Regardless, in the long-term, precious metals should rally because of currency debasement and the resulting inflation which follows.  I have recently inaugurated the VR Gold Letter (which covers most other metals as well) to focus on the unique opportunity ahead in the natural resource arena.

Stocks Holding Onto Strong Gains In Late Morning Trading - U.S. Commentary

Posted on by lindsay

(RTTNews) - Stocks have shown a strong upward move over the course of the trading day on Friday, with the major averages adding to the gains posted in the previous session. The strength in the markets comes on the heels of some better than expected economic news.

Before the start of trading, the Commerce Department released a report showing a smaller than expected decrease in durable goods orders in the month of March, although the report also showed a downward revision to the increase in orders seen in February.

While a separate Commerce Department report showed a modest decrease in new home sales in the month of March, the annual rate of new home sales came in well above economist estimates due to an upward revision to February sales.

The upward move reflects significant strength that has emerged in a variety of sectors, with gold, networking, oil service, and housing stocks turning in some of the best performances. On the other hand, brokerage, railroad, and computer hardware stocks are bucking the uptrend.

The major averages have moved roughly sideways in recent trading, hovering near their best levels of the day. The Dow is currently up 93.18 at 8,050.24, the Nasdaq is up 27.68 at 1,679.89 and the S&P 500 is up 10.44 at 862.36.
