Don't Let The Government Decide When You Retire

Posted on by admin

By: Amy Calistri of Street Authority

I try not to be tempted by "click-baiting" headlines on the Internet. You know what I'm talking about -- the salacious, ridiculous, or shocking headlines that you click on, only to discover mundane articles that may or may not have anything to do with the headline.

But we all have our weaknesses; mine is information about retirement planning. This explains why I clicked on the U.S. News headline, "The Perils of Retirement at Age 65."

The article didn't provide me with many new insights. For instance, I already knew that even though you are eligible to start receiving Social Security retirement benefits at age 62, most people have to be older than 65 to receive "full" benefits.

What did surprise me were the comments people posted after reading the article. They fell into two general groups.

There was a group that couldn't bear the thought of working until the age of 65 and over: Continue reading "Don't Let The Government Decide When You Retire" →

Gold Futures

Gold futures this Friday afternoon after the Thanksgiving holiday are sharply lower due to the fact that crude oil prices are down nearly $5 also pressuring the precious metals to the downside as gold in the February contract is currently trading down $29 at 1,167 after settling last Friday at 1,198 as I still remain neutral in this market as prices are trading above their 20 day but still below their 100 day moving average so avoid this market at the current time. In my opinion choppy markets are difficult to trade as the longer term downtrend line in gold is still intact in my opinion as a strong U.S dollar and S&P 500 continue to take money out of gold as the money flow continues to go into those 2 sectors as I still think there’s a possible retest of 1,130 in the month of December and if you remember in 2013 December was also a negative month to the downside as the stock market in my opinion will continue to climb higher throughout the rest of the year. The chart structure in gold is poor at the current time as prices have been choppy in recent weeks so look for a better market to trade and keep an eye on this and hopefully better chart structure will develop over the course of the next several weeks but I’m feeling that we will not be involved in the gold market until at least early 2015.

Every Day Is Black Friday In The World Of Forex

By Elliott Wave International

The foreign currency exchange market, known as forex, is the most liquid financial market on the planet -- liquid to the tune of $5.3 trillion traded per day!

That basically means every single day in forex is the day after Thanksgiving -- a.k.a. "Black Friday" -- with a stampede of traders pounding at the front door come opening bell, and then frantically racing up and down the market aisles in search of opportunities.

It's madness. Market turns are lightning fast. You have to be faster. You have one single goal: Get there before they're gone.

That goal, however, is difficult to attain if you're following the blueprint of mainstream financial analysis; which tells you to look outside the market for clues as to where prices will go next. The trouble with this strategy is that when you have your eyes focused outside the markets, you often miss high-confidence trade set-ups developing on the price charts themselves.

Take, for instance, the recent near-term performance in the euro/Canadian dollar exchange rate, forex name EURCAD. On November 20, the EURCAD took a nasty fall and continued slipping to a one-month low on November 21. Mainstream analysis identified the "cause" of the move after prices had already started to reverse: Continue reading "Every Day Is Black Friday In The World Of Forex" →

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders and MarketClub members everywhere! Here on the east coast, we are facing quite a winter storm on the eve of Thanksgiving. I expect that the threat of the incoming storm and early holiday travel plans will subdue trading quite dramatically today.

On a personal note, I have to say that Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday of the year. This is is a time when you get together with family and friends and just enjoy the common bond of love and friendship and be truly thankful for all that we have.

As investors, we have lots to be thankful for this year as we have seen the Dow and the S&P 500 move to record highs in 2014.

As a company, we are very thankful as we have had an incredible year in 2014 and would like to thank all of our members around the world for making that happen. Thank you.

To all our members and friends who are traveling to meet loved ones to celebrate this holiday, we wish you safe travels and a joyous Thanksgiving holiday.

In today’s video, I will share with you my new upside counts for Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and all the major indices. Today’s video will be our last video until Monday.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone,

3 Stocks Ready To Pop For Thanksgiving

Posted on by The INO.com Team

The excitement is already building for America's favorite holiday Thanksgiving. What could be better than spending time with family, eating great food and finding great stocks.

Today I am sharing with you three stocks that popped up on my radar yesterday that look technically very positive on the upside.

Two of these stocks are priced under $15, and one is priced below six dollars, which is pretty unusual in today's investment climate. The three stocks I'm looking at are all traded on the NASDAQ, which is my go to exchange to find winning trades.

The first stock is XOMA Corporation (NASDAQ:X0MA) which flashed a buy alert yesterday at $4.91. Xoma closed Monday at $5.28.

The next stock I will be looking at is Tower Semiconductor Ltd. (NASDAQ:TSEM). Yesterday the monthly Trade Triangle alerted a buy signal at $12.26. TSEM eventually closed out the trading day at $12.72.

The final stock is Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MU). This is the most expensive stock of the three picks. Yesterday it received a Trade Triangle buy signal at $34.85. MU finished out the day slightly lower with a close of $34.72.

As always I will be taking a quick look at the charts and making projections about how high I think, these three stocks can move.

Every success with MarketClub,
