Analysis originally distributed on Feburary 15, 2017 By: Michael Vodicka of Cannabis Stock Trades

I was a derivatives trader for a billion-dollar trading firm at the Chicago Board of Trade for three years in my late twenties.

It was a crazy job. My job was to make huge bets all day long in highly volatile markets.

The key to this position was the chart.

I would hunt for specific formations on the chart, looking for stocks, bonds, commodities, or currencies ready to breakout into a new high or breakdown into a new low.

Once I found the right setup I would slap on million-dollar trades looking to “scalp” the market for a quick profit.

This is the insanity of short-term trading and why I am now an investment advisor. You have to be nuts to gamble like that all day. Investing is a thousand times easier than trading.

However, as an investment advisor and financial writer, my background in trading is a weapon.

It helps me see things in the market that a lot of other advisors and investors miss. Continue reading "3 Cannabis Stocks Ready To Hit A New 52-Week High" →

Waiting On The Fed

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello MarketClub members everywhere. Stocks are little changed today as traders eagerly await a key Federal Reserve release. The central bank is scheduled to release the minutes from its meeting earlier this month and Wall Street is expected to parse through them in search of clues about when and how many times it will raise interest rates this year.

MarketClub's Mid-day Market Report

Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA) is increasingly moving beyond its core e-commerce business to search for new avenues of growth. Over the weekend, Alibaba announced it had formed a strategic partnership with Shanghai Bailian Group, one of China's largest supermarket and department store chains, in order to deepen its so-called "New Retail" strategy. And on Tuesday, Alibaba's finance arm, Ant Financial, announced a $200 million investment in South Korea's dominant messaging app Kakao Talk.

People ask me why I prefer silver over gold recently. There are several factors why I like in silver, the first is the cheap price, you don’t need to use leverage to enter the market, the second is that I have a bearish view of the gold/silver ratio and the third, but not the last thing is that it is not favored by central banks or ETFs and flies die when elephants fight.

So, in this post I would like to analyze some silver stocks. As you might remember they scored record gains last year and I thought we could see more gains as precious metals crept to the upside after consolidation.

We all know the story of the tortoise and the hare and the conclusion that slow and steady wins the race. But regardless of us knowing the story and how it turns out, we still get caught up in the idea, or dream if you will, that we can get rich quick though the means of chasing long-shot investment opportunities.

We have all seen and heard of new investment opportunities that will make you rich; penny stock ideas that will show 1,000% returns, "the next big Initial Public Offering" that you have to own, or perhaps a friend, family member or colleague tells you about a great idea. We all wonder whether or not we should go ahead and pull the trigger on these "once in a lifetime opportunities" and if we made a huge mistake when we don’t.

Well let's look at some numbers, which will hopefully help make your decisions on whether or your time and money are best served chasing these dreams. Continue reading "Are Long-Shot Investments Worth Your Time Or Money?" →

Revamping the Fed: The Time is Now

Last November, shortly after the election, I wrote a column that discussed the “claustrophobic, one-dimensional, group-think atmosphere” at the Federal Reserve. “With just a couple of exceptions, everyone on the Fed, voting or non-voting, is an economist, teaches economics, or worked in the banking industry on one side or the other,” I wrote then. No business people, no small business owners, no one “who lives and works in the real world, who has to deal with the edicts the Fed hands down.”

“Wouldn’t that perspective – even one – be a useful new voice to be considered when making monetary policy?” I asked. Continue reading "Revamping the Fed: The Time is Now" →
