Where Will The Markets Stand After The Dust Settles?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello MarketClub members everywhere! Well, here we are at the end of another trading week and what a week it has been.

Gold (FOREX:XAUUSDO): As I warned members yesterday, chasing gold after 8 straight days of moving higher was not the best strategy. Yesterday's massive reversal to over the $1300 level just shows how important this psychological level has now become. In today's video, I will be analyzing gold and telling what you I believe to be the best strategy to follow given yesterday's action. Even with all the turmoil in gold this past week, overall it remains higher for the week. Last week July gold closed at $1273.90.

Indices: It's a mixed picture for the major indices with major positive trends still intact for the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ. The odd man out here is the DOW which is in a sidelines position at the moment. However, the week tells a different story with all of the major indices losing ground. Here's where the indexes closed last Friday. Continue reading "Where Will The Markets Stand After The Dust Settles?" →

What's Up With Pfizer And Gold

Hello MarketClub members everywhere!

Having been born and raised in Great Britain, I occasionally look at the British newspapers for a different viewpoint on world events. I was recently surveying some of the British newspapers for news on Brexit when I came across an interesting article on research that is being done in Great Britain on Pfizer's famous blue pill.

Brexit Yes, You Better Be-Leave It

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello MarketClub members everywhere. There's no doubt about it, yesterday's break in the world markets was caused by a little country in the North Atlantic named Great Britain and whether or not it's going to stay in the EU.

Having been born and raised in England, I cannot imagine in my wildest dreams why Great Britain would want to give up its sovereignty, its currency and cede control to Brussels. The EU is a bloated, incompetent bureaucracy that has a life of its own and answers to no one. To put this in perspective, the EU makes our government here in the U.S. look like it is super, super efficient. Continue reading "Brexit Yes, You Better Be-Leave It" →

In God We Trust - Starbucks?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello MarketClub members everywhere. This morning I learned that Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ:SBUX) has 1.2 billion dollars loaded onto Starbuck's cards and their mobile app - that is more capital than almost 5,000 US banks! The other good news for Starbucks is that they are playing the 'float' which means they are getting a return on your capital much like a bank, albeit small, as interest rates are so low right now. So next time you are in Starbucks ordering your favorite cup of coffee, do yourself a favor and pay cash. Why let Starbuck's make a buck on your hard earned money?

Overseas: The German Bund yields sink to new lows and yields in both Britain and Germany fell to record lows ahead of Britain's referendum on the European Union membership later this month. All of which is not particularly positive for the US economy or today's market.

How The Markets Closed Last Friday: Every Friday I look back on the week and see where the markets closed the previous Friday. This look backwards gives me the opportunity to see whether a market is positive or negative for the week. One of the important market perceptions is to look at the comfort level of traders and investors on Friday and see if they are comfortable going into the weekend holding positions in various markets. With that said, here's how the major markets closed last Friday. Continue reading "In God We Trust - Starbucks?" →

Who Is Going To Bet Against George Soros?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello MarketClub members everywhere. The big question today is, who is going to say George Soros is wrong? This is the same man who bet against the Bank of England in 1993 and made over a billion dollars! That is when a billion dollars used to be worth a whole lot more than it is now.

One expression I heard many years ago in the early part of my career is, "they don't ring a bell at the top of the market." It's one of the best expressions I have ever heard in the marketplace and it's true, nobody tells you exactly when it's the top of the market.

Whether this is the top, or we are close to the top, it really is too early to say. However, there is a certain feeling in the air of uncertainty and that alone can cause stocks to go down. Continue reading "Who Is Going To Bet Against George Soros?" →
