We're just past the edge. The "tipping point" is here.

Don't worry -- it's not dangerous. In fact, if you're an income investor, then this might be the start of a very prosperous trend.

Between now and 2030, roughly 10,000 Americans will turn 65 every day. You might be among them. This marks a major shift that will play out for millions of people in the next years and decades. And I think it could lead to a surge in popularity for income investing.

June crude oil was lower due to profit taking overnight as it consolidates some of the rally off April's low. Stochastics and the RSI are overbought but remain neutral to bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near-term. If June extends the rally off April's low, April's high crossing at 98.06 is the next upside target. Multiple closes below the 20-day moving average crossing at 91.93 would confirm that a short-term top has been posted. First resistance is April's high crossing at 98.06. Second resistance is February's high crossing at 99.52. First support is the 10-day moving average crossing at 93.85. Second support is the 20-day moving average crossing at 91.93.

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Jeremy Lutz here, with your mid-day market update for Monday, the 6th of May.

Stocks are little changed after record week
The stock market cleared new milestones Friday after the government reported that employers added more workers. However, that hasn't translated into a strong Monday open as investors turned more cautious, focusing once again on the problems facing the global economy.

Macro Sleight of Hand is Working, for Now

Right in plain site, the Federal Reserve is doing this to the US money supply. It is a hockey stick with the blade pointing up, but will one day turn into a big, bloated chicken and come home to roost. The Fed’s global counterparts continue apace with inflation as well.
