HUI Gold Bugs Index Symmetry

Posted on March 31, 2014 by admin

There is a growing presence out there talking about a potential Inverted Head & Shoulders (IH&S) on the HUI, which NFTRH has had going since mid-late last year. Below is a simple view of it, with last week's 'Week 2 down' making perfect sense (symmetrically speaking) with 'Weeks 1 & 2 up'.

NFTRH subscribers had a heads up (from both a sentiment and technical view) that it was time for traders to take profits and holders to prepare for corrective activity in and around the Ukraine hysterics that threw over the final upside (right side of the neckline).

POLL: Do You Think Putin Is Going To Invade The Ukraine?

Posted on March 28, 2014March 29, 2014 by The INO.com Team

In all the years I've been following the markets there comes a time like now, when geopolitics takes center stage. I am of course referring to the recent annexation of the Crimea by Putin. The question now is with a very tepid response from the US and the EU will Putin say to himself Crimea was easy I'll do the same thing with the Ukraine. With an approval rating of 80% back home in Russia, Putin and has little to worry about as he practically walks on water in the minds of most citizens.

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.

10 Year Notes

The 10 year notes are trading below their 20 and 100 day moving averages in the June contract settling basically unchanged for the trading week around 123 – 14 yielding about 2.72% & I had been recommending a bearish position in the 10 year notes for a long time and I think you still sell a futures contract at today’s price placing your stop above the most recent high of 125 risking around $1,500 per contract as prices are right near 7 week lows.

Coke Vs. Pepsi: By The Numbers

Posted on March 28, 2014 by admin

History has shown us that America was built on the back of positive rivalries.

Like the long-standing feud between the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox... or the U.S. vs. Russia in the Olympics. That's to say nothing of more serious rivalries like the political feud between Democrats and Republicans.

Nothing can drive competitors to perform their best like a well-matched rivalry. This is particularly true in the world of business. Think of Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) and Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL), Ford (NYSE: F) and General Motors (NYSE: GM), or ATT (NYSE: T) and Sprint (NYSE: S).

All of these (and dozens of others) have resulted in increased innovation, industry growth and -- most critically for investors -- shareholder value. One rivalry in particular stands out to me in terms of longevity, pure competitive zeal and using nearly every trick in the book for the upper hand: the epic cola war between Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) and Pepsico (NYSE: PEP).

Both of these companies have made great investments over the years, both offer solid growing dividend yields, and both excel in a particular niche. However, going forward, I think one of these companies has the edge on the other as an investment. Continue reading "Coke Vs. Pepsi: By The Numbers" →

Citibank Fails The Fed Stress Test - See If You Can Spot Why

Posted on March 27, 2014 by The INO.com Team

Hello investors, traders and MarketClub members everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and co-creator of MarketClub, with a look at Citigroup, Inc. (NYSE:C) on Thursday, the 27th of March.

News came out yesterday that the Fed had "stress tested" 30 banks and that 5 of the 30 had failed to pass. While some of the banks were expected to fail and came as no surprise, what was a surprise to the market was the failure of Citigroup, Inc. (NYSE:C).

In the Trade Triangle column of the image below, do you notice anything different about any one particular bank?

As you can clearly see, Citigroup (NYSE:C) has a red monthly Trade Triangle next to its name. That red monthly Trade Triangle kicked in on January 31st and served as a warning to MarketClub members that all was not well at Citigroup.
