The Best Opportunity To Profit From Gold In 15 Years

By: Austin Hatley of Street Authority

After steadily returning an average of 18% a year for the past decade, gold is headed for its first annual loss since 2000. All told, gold prices have fallen over $450 an ounce since January -- a 27% decline in just under 12 months.

In part, the gold market is suffering thanks to the economic recovery. Since gold is usually seen as a "safe haven" investment, an improving economy puts downward pressure on gold prices. Other headwinds include low inflation rates... surging equity values... and an overwhelmingly bearish sentiment facing commodities altogether.

Gold Chart of The Week

Each Week Longleaftrading.com will be providing us a chart of the week as analyzed by a member of their team. We hope that you enjoy and learn from this new feature.

Before the release of the Non Farm Payrolls last week on Friday, US markets could not catch a break. Lower highs and lower lows were put in on the daily chart of the S&P 500 after the new high was printed on November 29th. On Thursday, stocks took the day to consolidate inside the prior days price range, but exploded to the upside at 7:30 cst. Markets were treated to a better-than-expected jobs number where 203,000 jobs were created and the jobless rate in the US hit a five year low. Additionally, Consumer Confidence in the US shot up to a five year high soon after the jobs numbers were posted. In short, LAST WEEK traders and investors used favorable reports as a reason to buy equities. The big question is whether the stock market will react the same way THIS WEEK, when data is released. We will have to wait and see. Continue reading "Gold Chart of The Week"

INO gives a little, but gains a lot! Operation Christmas Child

This time of year reminds us how incredibly fortunate we are to work for a company that we love, while also helping our customers achieve their financial goals.

With the holiday season upon us, there is nothing we wanted to do more than help another group achieve their goal as well. INO.com recently funded a large portion of a holiday project for a youth-run organization in Moorefield, West Virginia. This group of amazing kids packed almost 150 boxes for Operation Christmas Child, a charity that delivers shoeboxes packed with gifts to children all over the world during the holiday season!

Operation Christmas Child is a wonderful organization that simply attempts to provide basic needs, smiles and a little joy to less than fortunate children in more than 100 countries around the world. It’s a wonderful program that anyone can participate in. Learn more about Operation Christmas Child.

We hope you enjoy the pictures of the children at their shoebox packing party. We are happy to help them share some love with the world.

All the best and warm holiday wishes,

The INO.com & MarketClub Team

Gold Futures

The monthly unemployment report came out at this morning stating that we added 203, 000 new jobs which was construed very bullish sending the stock market higher and gold lower due to the fact of tapering possibly happening as soon as March as the unemployment rate is now 7.0% as traders see no reasonable to own gold as the economy here in the United States and around the world are improving dramatically sending the S&P right near record highs once again today and selling off gold by $4 at 1,228 currently here on the night session this Friday afternoon in New York. Gold is trading below its 20 & 100 day moving average continuing its bearish trend hitting a 5 month low with major support at 1,210 which was hit twice this week and rebounded but it looks to me that we almost certainly have to retest 1,180 which was last summer’s low.
TREND: LOWER
CHART STRUCTURE: EXCELLENT
