The Beat Goes On And On And On...

Hello traders everywhere!  Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your 1 p.m. market update for Friday, the 15th of July.

The beat goes on and on and on. I am of course talking about the debt ceiling talks which are absolutely imperative to the U.S. I think that most Americans are just getting disgusted with both parties and I think come election time we will see some major changes.

This should be a very interesting Friday with Gold at or close to its highs and Silver higher for the day so far. The equity markets just seem to be hanging on by their fingernails now and I expect we will see further pressure on the markets as the day wears on. Unless there's some major news that comes out I can't imagine these markets rallying from their current levels.

The opportunities to make money right now are huge. We've outlined clearly in our past reports the line in the sand for the S&P 500 and of course we remain positive on the precious metals. One trade you might want to consider this weekend is Gold. If Gold closes at or close to its highs for the day we want to go home with an additional trading unit. If this happens it will qualify as a 52 week high trade rule which means you go home long Gold and take profits on Monday or Tuesday. Use tight money management stops on this position.

Will He Or Won't He Implement QE3?

Hello traders everywhere!  Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your 1 p.m. market update for Thursday, the 14th of July.

Will he or won't he implement QE3?  That is the question on everyone's lips.  I am of course talking about the Federal Reserve chairman, Ben Bernanke.  I don't think it's going to matter too much because the market is acting exactly how we expected it to act.  The market action for the past three days has very negative connotations in my opinion.

The plain truth is the market has been unable to hold or sustain any rallies after its big down day on Monday.  I think tomorrow, being Friday, a lot of traders will be very nervous about holding long positions based on what may or may not happen with the debt ceiling over the weekend.

Gold and silver continue to move to the upside and are in strong hands.  This weekend could be the perfect weekend trade for these two markets.  Target zones are higher than current levels for both gold and silver.

Another concern we have are bank stocks, which continue to look weak.  Bank of America, symbol BAC, could be a perfect candidate for a 52 week rule trade on Friday.  Watch that stock carefully on Friday.

Now, let's go to the markets and see how we can protect and make your money grow.    Continue reading "Will He Or Won't He Implement QE3?"

Record-High Prices For Gold!

Hello traders everywhere!  Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your 1pm market update for Wednesday, the 13th of July.

The big news today has got to be record-high prices for gold.  As you know we've been very positive on this market longer term and we believe that the market was going to make its highs at the end of Q3.  Today's action certainly confirms that this market is moving from a very powerful energy field, which we have explained in many of our previous videos.  Silver followed suit, but has not made an all time high.  Percentage wise today's move in silver is beating out the move in gold.

The rally in the equity markets is not as unexpected, as we thought that we would see a bump up as we described in our previous videos earlier this week. We expect that the current rally in the S&P will run out of steam right around 1333 to 1338.

We also suspect that this market is building the right shoulder of a massive head and shoulders top.  It seems hard to believe that the precious metals and the equity markets are all going up at the same time, but that's what's happening right now.

Now, let's see how we can protect and make your money grow.    Continue reading "Record-High Prices For Gold!"

WORD OF THE DAY: CONTAGION

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your market update for Tuesday, the 12th of July.

WORD OF THE DAY: CONTAGION - the ready transmission or spread of an idea or emotion from person to person: a contagion of fear.

As we reported yesterday, this market is in a very choppy, emotional state and it is a battle between the Bulls and the Bears. Events outside of the control of the US in Europe and the contagion problems in Italy and Greece are all making this one financial mess.

Another disastrous trade deficit today of over $50.2 billion was not good news for the USA.

The debt ceiling talks continue between the Democrats and the Republicans with no apparent end in sight. Perhaps they should look up the word contagion, and relate it to how things can spiral so quickly out of control and take on a life of its own.

What is happening in Europe could very easily happen here in the US if we don't start addressing this problem. This is a real a crisis and Congress is treating it just like another minor problem we have to
solve. It has major implications for the US and it's standing in the world. Imagine if the dollar lost its reserve currency status! That would be catastrophic for this country and everybody who lives here. It would not be a pretty picture.

Let's go to the markets as they tell the real truth in what's unfolding in the financial world. Continue reading "WORD OF THE DAY: CONTAGION"
