In a little over three weeks all the major indices have recovered and are trending higher. It just proves once again that the market eventually gets it right.

Cuda, Woulda, Shoulda

Hello MarketClub members everywhere. Okay, so what's with Cuda, Woulda, Shoulda?

Well, the first one, Cuda is the symbol for Barracuda Networks Inc. (NYSE:CUDA) which is looking very positive in my eyes. With all Trade Triangles green and trending higher it looks as though this market has every opportunity to move higher.

A little over a year ago Barracuda Networks was trading over $45 a share and currently is trading just below $20. The potential for this stock to move at least into the $30 area is quite high in my opinion as that represents a 50% Fibonacci retracement. Now I'm not advocating jumping and buying the stock today as I would like to see some consolidation. It will be a buy if it pulls back to the $18.60 level which is the monthly Trade Triangle entry signal. Continue reading "Cuda, Woulda, Shoulda"

Can Cheap Money Continue To Drive The Market?

Hello MarketClub members everywhere. Once again it falls on the shoulders of the Federal Reserve to keep monetary policy loose. With expectations of 4 rate hikes in 2016, we are down to one at this moment in time. I doubt that the Fed has it in them to raise rates again in 2016, which means that 2017 is going to be a reset year for America. Not only are we going to see a new president, but the likely hood is we are going to see a reset of interest rate here in the US.

Last week, the surprise was the non-farm payroll figure showing 287,000 jobs created compared to 175,000 forecast. Look for this number to be revised downward in the future. The non-farm payroll figure was enough to jump start the equity markets pushing the S&P 500 (CME:SP500) to close within a point lower than its best ever close on May 21st, 2015 at 2,130.82. The DOW (INDEX:DJI) followed but was unable to overcome its highs at 18,351.36 on May 20th, 2015. Both of these indices are now in a positive mode according to the Trade Triangles. The only laggard in the group is the NASDAQ (NASDAQ:COMP) index which has moved into a neutral mode requiring a sideline position. Continue reading "Can Cheap Money Continue To Drive The Market?"
