This Energy Stock Is Screaming Buy Me

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello MarketClub members everywhere. It is no secret that the energy sector has been under pressure after crude oil (NYMEX:CL.U16.E) hit a peak of around $52.00 a barrel on June 8th. Since then crude oil has steadily trended lower dipping below $40.00 just this week.

MarketClub's Mid-day Market Report

The Trade Triangles just covered the last short position from $45.64 yesterday at $41.88 for a gain of $3.76 or $3,760.00 per contract. As of today, the Trade Triangles are in a neutral position and awaiting the next signal.

All of this leads me to one energy stock that is defying the odds and is standing out like a sore thumb and begging to be purchased and that stock is Kinder Morgan Inc. (NYSE:KMI). In today's video I will walk you thru the primary reasons why I like this stock and more importantly where the exit door is if my analysis is wrong.

In addition to Kinder Morgan, I will be analyzing at gold and the major indices today.

Have a great trading day and weekend.

Stay focused and disciplined.

Every success with MarketClub,

Will We See The Fed In September?

Posted on by George Yacik

George Yacik - INO.com Contributor - Fed & Interest Rates


It took less than two days last week for the financial markets to disabuse themselves of the notion that the Federal Reserve, this time, is really, truly, absolutely kind of serious about raising interest rates at its next meeting in September.

On Wednesday afternoon the Fed, as expected, left interest rates unchanged for the fifth straight monetary policy meeting since first raising rates last December, which was supposed to usher in a gradual process of rate “normalization” this year. As we know, of course, the Fed hasn’t followed through on that, finding one justification after another – rising oil prices, falling oil prices, weak Chinese economic growth, weak U.S. economic growth, Brexit, you name it – to delay the day of reckoning.

In last week’s post-meeting announcement, the Fed dropped several hints that might cause some people, even reasonable ones, to conclude that a rate increase might be in the offing at its next meeting in September. Continue reading "Will We See The Fed In September?" →

Italy Overtakes Spain As Weakest Link

Among the big four Eurozone economies, i.e. Germany, France, Spain and Italy, it’s clear which two are the growth drivers. Of the others, that is Spain and Italy; Italy was considered to be the more stable. Spain’s bonds were deemed riskier and its banking sector weaker. But that is a thing of the past. As it stands today, Italy has overtaken Spain to become the weakest link among the Eurozone’s largest economies, with a banking sector desperately in need of a bailout. And if Italy’s banking crisis is a rerun of Spain’s, we can certainly expect some troubles in the Eurozone and, consequently, for the Euro.

Spain vs. Italy in Two Charts

When we compare data on the Italian economy vs. the Spanish economy, we can see an interesting picture emerging. When we examine the trend in bankruptcies filed for both economies, it’s clear that both countries had relatively the same trend in bankruptcies until very recently. Bankruptcies in Italy have started to surge while bankruptcies in Spain have been decreasing.

In the bond markets of the two countries, a clear divergence is occurring. Credit Default Swaps for Spain and Italy, which had moved in tandem in the past (with higher risk premiums for Spain), started to diverge back in 2014. Credit Default Swaps for Italy are now much higher. Continue reading "Italy Overtakes Spain As Weakest Link" →

On Our Way To A Banner Year

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Let's face it, sometimes making money in the markets is tough, even for professionals. Some of the big names in the hedge fund industry have under-performed the market and even lost money over the last several years.

Every year, hundreds of hedge funds go out of business due to investors becoming disenchanted with mediocre to poor returns (remember, with hedge funds there is a management fee of usually 2% on invested capital and 20% of any profits).

Every investors’ dream is to find a way to consistently make money in the market with the least amount of risk. The question is, does something like that even exist? Continue reading "On Our Way To A Banner Year" →
