Here's How We're Trading The S&P And Materials

Todd Gordon of TradingAnalysis.com takes a look at the SPY in today's market analysis.

The stock indexes are selling off for two main reasons. First, the reality of higher interests is starting to set in. The market has been drinking heavily from the Fed's liquidity punch bowl. Is the party over and the hangover about to set in? Second, we are failing at a confluence of Fibonacci and Elliott Wave resistance. Here's how we're trading it with options.

Is Now The Time To Buy Stocks?

That is the million-dollar question right now given the market action in the equity markets in the last few days. Is this a buying opportunity or has the market reached an important top? It's a very valid question and one I hope to address in today's video.

As I've said before, this is an aging bull market that has been supported in part by quantitative easing (QE) and a very accommodating stance by the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve has been thinking of raising interest rates for some time and the last time the Fed raised rates was in June 2006. Continue reading "Is Now The Time To Buy Stocks?"

Pendulum Experiment: The Weakest Metal Vs. The Strongest Future

Aibek Burabayev - INO.com Contributor - Metals


Dear readers, I hope things are good if you are short both top precious metals as per my Gold and Silver updates and you are enjoying the rising gains. As nothing unforeseen has been happening, let us do an experiment.

Do you know what a pendulum is and what the effect it has on an instrument? When something moves one way and then swings back and we push it harder forward, it will move back deeper for the distance that is equal to the distance between equilibrium and the forward point. Swings and waves are a normal part of our everyday life, and that is true for the markets as well. Continue reading "Pendulum Experiment: The Weakest Metal Vs. The Strongest Future"

Macy's Misses And Alibaba Hits A New High For Sales

October was a spectacular month for stocks, but November may prove to be a different animal with potential roadblocks.

Many professional traders are looking at major resistance from the old highs in May of this year. I believe that the major indices are going to have their work cut out for them to move over these levels in the future.

On November 9th, I talked about Macy's Inc. (NYSE:M) showing what I believed to be major weakness in this stock. Macy's earnings were announced this morning which disappointed the market and pushed it down over 13%. I think this is a testament to MarketClub's Trade Triangle technology and the reassurances and confidence it provides investors.

I will also be taking a look at Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA) that had a record sales day, generating over $10 billion in gross merchandise sales in just over 14 hours. Should you buy Alibaba here or just be on the sidelines?

I'm going to do something a little different today and look at three stocks that I talked about in an earlier video and a MarketClub member asked us to follow up on. The three stocks in question are The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS), Monster Beverage Corp. (NASDAQ:MNST) and News Corporation (NASDAQ:NWSA). I will see where they were trading before earnings and where they are now after earnings.

Also in today's video update I will be looking at gold which is in a very special place right now and definitely should be on your radar screen. In addition to the gold market, I will be looking at the dollar, crude oil and the major indices.

Have a great trading day everyone.

Every success with MarketClub,

The Winner Of The Natural Gas Boom Isn't Who You Think...

By: Jim Nelson of Street Authority

The energy market is officially broken.

That's according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).

On November 10, the group announced that oil prices will remain low for a long time.

Next year, the agency is forecasting a barrel of crude will go for just $60... and only $80 by 2020.

For hundreds of U.S. companies caught up in the shale oil boom over the last decade, that's disastrous news. At $60 a barrel, many oil companies will not generate enough revenue to break even. Continue reading "The Winner Of The Natural Gas Boom Isn't Who You Think..."
