Daily Video Update: "Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit."

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Thursday, the 1st of November.

"Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit" is a common British superstition which states that a person should say the words "rabbit, rabbit, rabbit" out loud upon waking on the first day of the month. According to legend and lore, this will ensure good luck for the duration of that month.

One trader I knew on the floor of the CME carried a rabbit's foot in his pocket everyday! He claimed it gave him good luck with his trading. Judging from his success, I would have to say it worked!!

So don't forget, on the first of December to say "rabbit, rabbit, rabbit" when you wake up. It can't hurt.

The stock markets are gradually getting back to normal and into the swing of things again. Certainly today's 1% rally in the major indices is a good indication that more and more traders are once again back at their desks and focusing on the markets.

Daily Update: Did Sandy create a plus or a minus for the U.S. Economy?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Due to technical issues associated with Hurricane Sandy we do not have a video today.

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

Well there is no question about it, the last few days have been devastating for millions of residents in the Northeast.

Sandy certainly lived up to her billing as the "Storm of the Century" as she left a path of epic destruction in the wake. Luckily our corporate headquarters, which are based in the mid-Atlantic region on the Chesapeake Bay, missed the wrath of this very serious storm.

Geologist Merrill McHenry Keeps His Eye on the Guerrero Gold Belt

Posted on by admin

The Gold Report: Merrill, speaking as a geologist, what makes the Guerrero Gold Belt in Mexico so highly prospective for gold and silver mineralization?

Merrill McHenry: Two words: plate tectonics. Two tectonic events in that area of sufficient scale to create an entire region filled with gold mineralization.

In more detailed terms, the Chortis plate, which was about the size of Colorado, impacted the western side of southern Mexico. The first event, about 140 million years ago, created "laramide" north-south extensional faults. That was followed, about 70 million years later, by a strike-slip to the southeast. As the strike-slip slipped and subducted under the southern portionwhat is today Guerrero Stateit rotated many of those north-south transitional faults and shear zones into roughly 40-degree and other angles, creating a chimney effect, which brought the mineralization, in liquid form, much closer to the surface. In geological terms, this is called a metasomatic transfer. The strike-slip also created various low-angle extensional faulting allowing laterally displaced mineralization and improving strike-length potential.

Gold Chart of the Week

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Each week Longleaftrading.com will be providing us a chart of the week as analyzed by a member of their team. We hope that you enjoy and learn from this new feature.

WEEKLY GOLD REPORT (OCT 29th THROUGH NOVEMBER 2nd)

Before we rush into the pressing news about Hurricane Sandy and the closing of Wall Street today, let us quickly review a bit of the global news from last week. The week began with some promising news from China that suggested it was not in for as hard of a landing as many had previously suggested. We also saw a very surprising and positive GDP report from the UK. Next, the United States FOMC announcement was in line with its mediocre expectations, as economists expected few changes in policy ahead of the Presidential Election. The FED’s stance remained supportive, but the overall commitment was unchanged from the prior meeting. Despite an improvement in the US GDP report, the US markets remained pressured during a poor week of reported earnings and a circulating rumor that Fitch may look to cut ratings from AAA.

Daily Video Update: 12,25,100 and 750, all are meaningful numbers today

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Thursday, the 25th of October.

Apple disappoints and Amazon posts a loss.

As we stated in yesterday's video we were on the sidelines on both Apple and Amazon before their earning announcements. This sideline position was based on our weekly intermediate trend Trade Triangle. Once again this conservative strategy proved to be a winning approach for both of these stocks which have performed so well for our members.

So what do 12, 25, 100 and 750 have in common? The one thing they have in common is, they are all important numbers now and the next several days. Here's why they are important.

Let's begin with 12… Continue reading "Daily Video Update: 12,25,100 and 750, all are meaningful numbers today" →
