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 (March 11th through March 15th)

Will there be a follow through bid up in the US stock indexes this week? That is the million dollar question while Metals remain choppy.

I believe that there is still a bit of upside left in the markets, but not much. If you look back at the reported earnings over the last few weeks, we have seen some fairly good numbers. Many companies have reported better than expected figures, which have given investors a reason to be bullish stocks. The chart pattern shows that investors were waiting for any pullback to buy stocks, and many were ok with buying new highs. It doesn’t get much more bullish than that.

Today's Video Newsletter: Problems in Europe Again?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Monday, the 11th of March.

PROBLEMS IN EUROPE RAISE THE SPECTER OF GLOBAL UNCERTAINTY
Riots in Spain over the weekend led to general uncertainty in Europe. With its 26% unemployment rate, Spain is facing political and citizen unrest which could be a major problem for the rest of Europe.

If the problems in Spain were not bad enough, Fitch came out on Friday and downgraded the debt for Italy to BBB with a negative outlook. The downgrade reflects inconclusive election results for that country in February, which has led to a political vacuum. We are certainly concerned about Italy as it is third in line behind the US as the most indebted country in the world. If Italy were to see its borrowing costs increase significantly, it could spiral out of control and have a domino effect that would be felt across all the world's equity markets.

Today's Video Newsletter: Is Carl Icahn using our Trade Triangle technology?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Friday, the 8th of March.

MR. ICAHN, THANKS FOR YOUR VALIDATION
It seems that every time our Trade Triangles signal a move in the market, Mr. Icahn follows suit a little bit later. Coincidence? Perhaps. If you look at some of Mr. Icahn's recent announcements, you may get to see a pattern. A couple of days ago we talked about TransOcean, the next day Mr. Icahn fires off a letter to TransOcean about its poor capital allocation and capital structure. We signaled back in December that we received a bullish Trade Triangle signal in Netflix, next month in January we see Mr. Icahn taking a position. The same thing also happened in Yahoo, which begs the question... is Mr. Icahn using our Trade Triangle technology or something similar?

Today's Video Newsletter: 3 New Stocks Join the Bull Parade

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 7th of March.

With the FED pouring $4.25 billion into the system every trading day, it's no wonder that stocks are moving higher. When this artificial demand and false sense of security stops, what will happen to the markets? No one can tell for sure, but we cannot keep pumping money into this market forever. Yesterday, Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia President, Charles Plosser, said “We should begin to taper our asset purchases with an aim of ending them before year-end" and he believes that the central bank should slow the pace of its bond purchases because the potential costs from more stimulus outweigh the benefits.

When the FED turns off the money spigot, watch out!! That's when we get to see if the real economy has any clothes on. Until then, happy days are here again and the bull bandwagon is moving higher courtesy of the FED. Continue reading "Today's Video Newsletter: 3 New Stocks Join the Bull Parade" →

Leonard Melman: Are You Prepared for Hyperinflation?

Posted on by admin

The Gold Report: You recently told a crowd of investors at Prospectors Developer Association of Canada (PDAC) that precious metals are the best place to invest in an inflationary period. Why is that?

Leonard Melman: When prices are going up, you wouldn't want to be in housing stocks or auto financing, but you would certainly want to be in precious metals. You also might want to short the bond market. That is why you have to be aware of the direction of inflation. It is important to the concept of precious metals pricing. If you've been around for a few years, as I've been lucky enough to be, then you can easily recall a time when high inflation was the absolute key ingredient in massive previous bull markets. That is why I thoroughly look at what has led to past inflation and hyperinflation. I use four examples: the Roman Empire, the French Revolution in the late 1700s, the German hyperinflation in the 1920s and the recent catastrophe of hyperinflation in Zimbabwe. I examine whether America and other countries in the world are perhaps following the same paths that led to those previous hyperinflations.

TGR: Do you think investors are going to see hyperinflation in the foreseeable future? Continue reading "Leonard Melman: Are You Prepared for Hyperinflation?" →
