Daily Video Update: Is the glass half full or half empty?

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Monday, the 10th of September.

My question has always been, who is the glass maker? ( China? )

Over the weekend the legendary currency speculator, George Soros, shared with everyone his ideas on the Euro crisis. Mr. Soros indicated that Germany is the problem and needs to compromise big time with its Euro partners. That remains to be seen, as the German court will vote on Wednesday on what Germany can and cannot do.

This week should be packed with news coming out of Europe, and we could have the Fed making a QE decision later this week.

One thing is clear, INFLATION is on its way. That is the reason gold, silver, and copper are all headed higher and in the early stages of a bull market.

Now, let's analyze the major markets and stocks on the move using MarketClub's Trade Triangle Technology.

Daily Video Update: Is QE3 the next rocket that propels the SP500 Index to $1,550?

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Friday, the 7th of September.

Back in late August, we suggested that the markets would return to a more normal state with more trading volume and activity when traders returned from their summer vacations. Well, the comment out of Europe from Mario Draghi, head of the ECB, certainly propelled the dart of September to a quick start!

Yesterday's market action was a combination of new buying, and a large part of the move higher in the equity markets was short covering, as shorts scrambled to cover positions.

Another big call out yesterday was the move in the precious metals markets. Today we are seeing follow-through buying in gold, silver, and copper. Make no mistake about it, we are in bull markets in these metals. We are looking for all these markets to be strong for the next six months.

Look for the markets to close well today, as traders will be wary of taking home any short positions over the weekend.

This maybe a perfect weekend to employ our 52-week high rule to any market that is making new 52-week highs on the close.

Daily Video Update: Super Mario to the rescue!

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Thursday, the 6th of September.

Now that Mario Draghi, the head of the ECB, has spoken we will let the market decide how it wants to interpret his language. Early indications show the market liked what it heard from "Super Mario" and the shorts are getting squeezed out of the major index markets again.

Of the three equity markets we track in this report, only the DOW has not confirmed itself to be in a bull market.

Earlier today the gold market shot over the psychological $1,700 an ounce level based on concerns that the ECB would be printing more money. That coupled with the Fed printing dollars would lead to inflation worldwide. It was exactly one year ago today that gold made its all-time high of $1,920.26 an ounce. We have been, and continue to be bullish on gold and silver.

Now, let's analyze the major markets and stocks on the move using MarketClub's Trade Triangle Technology.

What to Do When – Not If – Inflation Gets Out of Hand

By Jeff Clark, Casey Research

The cheek of it! They raised the price of my favorite ice cream.

Actually, they didn't increase the price; they reduced the container size.

I can now only get three servings for the same amount of money that used to give me four, so I'm buying ice cream more often.

Raising prices is one thing. I understand raw-ingredient price rises will be passed on.

But underhandedly reducing the amount they give you… that's another thing entirely. It just doesn't feel… honest. Continue reading "What to Do When – Not If – Inflation Gets Out of Hand"
