The Bottom Line on Gold, the Dollar, and the Euro

Posted on by The INO.com Team

By Louis James, Casey Research

One of the points we've made several times over the last year is that traders stuck in an old paradigm are frequently selling gold for the wrong reasons.

The most egregious (or just plain silly) example is that gold often drops when the euro drops.

This happens, not because there's anything wrong with gold at such times, but because gold is priced in dollars. Instead of being thought of as a store of value in many investors' minds, gold is viewed as a hedge against weakness in the dollar.

But what are dollars priced in? Continue reading "The Bottom Line on Gold, the Dollar, and the Euro" →

Daily Video Update: Where do we go from here?

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Tuesday, the 14th of August.

At the moment there appears to be a lack of conviction by both the bulls and the bears to move this market one way or another. This indecision has also registered in our Trade Triangle technology with many of the major markets now indicating a sideways to mixed trend.

It has been this way for quite some time and I think it is wearing a lot of investors and traders down. Normally, when you have indecision like we are witnessing in the markets they are usually preparing for some big moves later in the year. The big moves may begin after Labor Day, when many traders and investors return from their summer hiatus. Also, it should noted that volume has been extremely light in many of the markets which underscores the lack of participation by both the public and professional traders.

We are also going to be looking at a buy and hold strategy compared to a strategy using MarketClub's Trade Triangle Technology. It's on a major stock that everyone knows. The results may surprise you so stay tuned.

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Tuesday, the 31st of July.

Will they or won't they? That is the question on every trader's mind these days. Will the ECB ride in and save the Euro? Will Ben Bernanke and the FED come in with another round of quantitative easing? We are not sure, and we don't think anyone on this side of the pond or in Europe, is sure either.

Will ECB Chairman Mario Draghi really follow through and enact concrete measures to avert the European crisis? Regardless of any actions the ECB takes, Italy, Greece, and Spain all owe a boat load of money. How are they ever going to pay it back?

While these uncertain times are full of questions, one thing is for sure, the markets will eventually tell us which way the decision is going. Continue reading "Daily Video Update: ECB, the FED, and the Fiscal Cliff OMG" →
