Bear Market Blueprint - Security BEFORE You Need It

Posted on by Trader Travis

When do you think is the best time to buy a home security system?

Would it be after someone breaks into your house or before?

Of course, it would be before you are burglarized. After the fact doesn’t help you prevent a loss.

When looking at a market crash, the same rule applies.

The best way to prepare for a market crash is beforehand.

I've just added my Bear Market Blueprint training to MarketClub Options - my full and comprehensive options training course.

The Bear Market Blueprint covers…

  • 7 methods I use to protect my money during a market crash.
  • How to make money when the market crumbles.
  • The buy and hold strategy we used to triple our 401K account.
  • And much more…

In my training, I'll walk you through this blueprint and show you the plan that MarketClub Options will put in place when the market shifts.

Chip Maker Hits Target, Beats Rivals and Bitcoin

Posted on by Aibek Burabayev

Last November I shared a promising trading opportunity to play on the Modern “Gold Rush” For Cryptocoins. Like the Great Gold Rush, I thought that those who sell equipment could benefit from new a “tulip mania” as this crypto buzz was called in the media.

I selected three chip makers, which were well known for the broad use of their products in the “mining” of cryptocoins. These companies are NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA), Advanced Micro Devices, Inc (AMD) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Limited (TSM). Firstly, I made the same comparative chart analysis of their stocks as I usually do for the classic mining stocks; it is funny that the word “mining” I used here has a totally different meaning.

We were on the right path as despite the market euphoria there was one stock, which lagged behind the others and the gap was significant. The laggard Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). It was the only one, which showed the negative price dynamics for the first ten months of 2017 with a -2.71% loss compared to +104.58% for NVDA, +43.94% for TSM and +14.62% for S&P 500.

Weekly Futures Recap With Mike Seery

Posted on by The INO.com Team

We've asked Michael Seery of SEERYFUTURES.COM to give our INO readers a weekly recap of the Futures market. He has been Senior Analyst for close to 15 years and has extensive knowledge of all of the commodity and option markets.

Michael frequently appears on multiple business networks including Bloomberg news, Fox Business, CNBC Worldwide, CNN Business, and Bloomberg TV. He is also a guest on First Business, which is a national and internationally syndicated business show.

Silver Futures

Silver futures prices in the September contract is currently higher by $0.28 at 14.82 an ounce after settling last Friday in New York at 14.63 trading higher by nearly $0.20 which has been a rarity for this market as the precious metals rallied across the board due to the fact that the U.S. dollar was down about 60 points today helping support prices. The commodity markets rallied this afternoon, and I think it was a relief rally as these markets have been getting pounded on a weekly basis except for the stock market which is near an all-time high once again today. I'm still not bullish silver prices, but if you take a look there is the possibility that prices may have bottomed out between the 14.30/14.50 level, but time will tell to see if that comes to fruition. Silver prices are still trading under their 20 and 100 day moving average as the trend remains negative as the downtrend line remains intact as this market goes in opposite directions from the U.S dollar as there is weak demand for this commodity. Gold prices are up over $20 today as that is also helping support silver as we are also experiencing oversold conditions in silver which has dropped about $3 over the last 2-months and if you are short a futures contract continue to place the stop loss at the 2-week high as a proper exit strategy. Volatility has increased as silver historically speaking is one of the most volatile commodities, but we have witnessed the classic bearish trend over the last couple of months as we grind lower on a daily basis.
TREND: LOWER
CHART STRUCTURE: IMPROVING
VOLATILITY: INCREASING

Inexpensive Stocks: Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Cohort

Posted on by Noah Kiedrowski

The entire pharmaceutical supply chain cohort, specifically, McKesson (MCK), Cardinal Health (CAH), CVS Health (CVS) and Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA) are all near multi-year lows despite still posting growth albeit slow with healthy balance sheets and growing dividends. This cohort has been faced with several headwinds that have negatively impacted the growth, and the changing marketplace conditions have plagued these stocks. The political backdrop has been a major headwind for the entire pharmaceutical supply chain including drug manufacturers, pharmaceutical wholesalers, and pharmacies/pharmacy benefit managers. Compounding the political climate, the drug pricing debate continues to rage on throughout political and social media circles weighing on the overarching sector. This backdrop erodes the pricing power of drugs that ultimately move from drug manufacturers to patients with insurers and other middlemen playing roles in the supply chain web.

In an effort to address these headwinds and restore growth, companies within this cohort have made bold moves such as CVS acquiring Aetna (AET) to form a colossus bumper-to-bumper healthcare company. Cardinal Health shelled out $6.1 billion to acquire Medtronic's Patient Care, Deep Vein Thrombosis, and Nutritional Insufficiency business. McKesson has made a string of acquisitions over the past two years deploying $1.2 billion for Biologics, $2.1 billion for Rexall and $525 million for Vantage Oncology in 2016. This was followed by a $1.1 billion acquisition of CoverMyMeds, undisclosed acquisition costs for RxCrossroads and Well.ca in 2017. Thus far in 2018, McKesson acquired Medical Specialty Distributors.

Powell Stays The Course Propelling Stocks Higher

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere. Speaking at the central banks annual Jackson Hole retreat, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the central bank's current approach to interest rate hikes were the best way to protect the U.S. economic recovery. In turn, that statement sent the S&P 500 and NASDAQ to record highs in early trading with the NASDAQ hitting $7,949.25 and the S&P 500 hitting $2,876.16. Are the $8,000 and $3,000 levels on tap for next week?

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell

Powell's speech caused the U.S. dollar to retreat further after having a rough week to begin with and now losing over -1% for the week. That move lower gave room for the precious metals, namely gold and silver, and crude oil to head higher. That triggered a new green weekly Trade Triangle for oil indicating that the commodity could be heading higher. But it still has some work o do to break out of the channel that it's been trapped in.

Key Levels To Watch Next Week:
