Strategies for Profiting from a Distorted Reality: Investing After QE

Posted on by admin

The Gold Report: After months of financial media coverage, investors are suffering from quantitative easing (QE) overload. At this point, what's important for investors to know about QE?

Chris Berry: QE appears to be one of the last arrows in the quiver of central bankers in the U.S., the Eurozone and Japan to try and resuscitate the global economy. Successive rounds of QE have failed to ignite demand, which was the stated purpose. Currently, a great deal of economic data supports a deflationary rather than inflationary view.

The Federal Reserve would love to create inflation, as this is the intended effect of easy money from the QE programs. So far, however, the most prevalent inflation we have is asset price inflation rather than in wage growth. This is not what the Fed wants. We're not seeing the "demand pull" inflation typically found when demand is outpacing supply. The two biggest overhangs in the U.S. economy right now are structurally high unemployment and a cratering velocity of money.

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, with your mid-day market update for Wednesday, the 31st of July.

What a month, with the DOW (INDEX:DJI) rallying to its highest level ever on the last day of the month. The NASDAQ (NASDAQ:COMP), not wanting to be left out of the parade, moved to its highest level in 13 years. The S&P (CME:SP500) also put in a solid monthly return of 5.50% for investors. Happy days are here again, as most investors were all smiles and happy to see that their portfolios and retirement account were looking a little bit better than last month.

Even the long suffering gold bulls had something to smile about as the longer-term bear market in gold managed to shake off some of its bearishness and rally. Gold closed out the month of July with a solid gain of 7.4%. Crude oil, which is in a bull market, followed right along producing gains of 7.50%.

Apple – The Cheapest Growth Stock in the Market

Posted on by admin

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is no longer the high flying growth giant the markets once loved. In the ten-year period starting in 2003 the stock saw gains of as high as 5,000%. The run up was nothing short of Wall Street magic.

Those days are over…but a new opportunity has emerged.

You see there are two classes of stocks. The first is comprised of optimistic growth stocks – Google, Tesla, Amazon and the like. These stocks trade at incredibly high earnings multiples because investors are factoring in expected growth. Simply put, they are anticipating the company to grow its earnings at a much faster rate than the overall market and therefore are paying much more for the cash these companies are generating today.

Are Gold Equities on the Cusp of an Upswing?

Posted on by admin

The Gold Report: Ron, the Federal Reserve has decided to continue quantitative easing (QE) for the foreseeable future. Gold has risen steadily since that news. Is that what you predicted the Fed would do?

Ron Struthers: It is not that hard to predict the Fed's behavior when you understand what it's trying to do and how it's trying to do it. I do not take what they say literally, except within the context of its goals. The Fed is trying to instill confidence in the economy because of massive U.S. debt and its future debt appetite. The economy needs to improve for there to be higher tax receipts. We need foreign investment to finance the debt. If the Fed can convince Americans and those abroad that its bonds are the safest/most attractive, its stock market will have the best returns and that debt machine keeps running.

But the truth is that the economy is very weak. Employment is weak. Foreign investment has been fleeing. The Fed has to purchase $85 billion of debt a month because nobody else will. The Fed can't do this forever, and it knows it. It has to talk as if the economy is improving so the Fed debt purchases can end in the near future.

If you dig into what's really going on in the economy and markets, you'll find the underlying weakness that guarantees that QE will be here for a long time, as least as long as the markets themselves will allow it or are tricked into allowing it.

TGR: Why are Americans so complicit in this? Continue reading "Are Gold Equities on the Cusp of an Upswing?" →

Everything You Have Ever Wanted To Know About Candlestick Charts

Posted on by The INO.com Team

In today's video, I will be talking about candlestick charts and just how powerful they are when they are used correctly. This form of charting began centuries ago in Japan, where rice merchants used candlestick charts to track the price of rice, a major commodity in that country.

Unlike Western charts, Japanese candlestick charts can have colorful names and modern interpretations can have colorful candlestick bodies to better highlight price movements. The candlesticks are normally made up of a "body" and an upper and lower "shadow" (or "wick").
