Dell Goes Private for $24.4 Billion
Going from a public company to a private company allows for many advantages that perhaps Michael Dell thinks he needs in today's ultra competitive smart tablet/phone world.

Michael Dell has sunk all his shares into his new private company and then added another $700 million to get the deal done. Dell, as an individual, has put the most skin into the game to go private. Other investors, like Microsoft, will be investing $2 billion and Silver Lake partners will put up $1 billion. The rest of the financing, over $15 billion is coming from banks. Dell stockholders will receive $13.65 in cash for shares of common stock. So it would appear that DELL has come full circle, private, public, and now private again. If DELL survives, will we see them again offer shares to the public? Continue reading "Today's Video Newsletter: Michael Dell goes private and China catches gold fever" →

Commodity Chart of The Week

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

Gold has been a frustrating market for a lot of traders for the last few months. If you are the buy and hold type or one who tries to find dynamic trends to capture, gold has not been an attractive market for you. Gold, however, is now getting interesting and could provide a move this week, especially if markets get negative and a flight to safety bid enters the market.

The market has been building a solid base since the January lows and technically we are now getting to a point where a move could occur if we can penetrate the upward portion of the wedge you can see in the chart above. The top of the wedge and the 50 day moving average both come in right at 1685/ounce and a close over that level would bode well for gold if it is breached.

Weekly Gold Report (February 4th through February 8th)

It should come as little surprise that we begin this week correcting a portion of last week’s strong move up. After a fun filled stretch of reports in the United States, including an FOMC announcement, Consumer Confidence figures, and Employment numbers, we head into a light news calendar for the next five days here in the states. There are scheduled Interest Rate decisions this week in Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain, and from the ECB, which should bring some movement to global currencies and in turn, commodity prices.

The standout in last weeks reports in the United States was the fact that the FED announced they will maintain their usual stance on the market and will continue easing at the same pace until things improve. Continue reading "Gold Chart of The Week" →

Today's Video Newsletter: Did the right team win the Super Bowl?

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 4th of February.

Did the right team win the Super Bowl? Well, if you are bullish on the general market, the answer has to be no. If you are unsure on equities the answer is yes, the right team did win the Super Bowl. According to legend, when an AFC team wins the big one, the odds favor the stock market ending the year with a mediocre gain of around 3%. The last time the Baltimore Ravens won the Super Bowl the market closed down 11% that year. When a NFC team wins the Super Bowl, the stock market closes out the year with a average gain of over 10%. Maybe, just maybe, that is why the market is lower today? Continue reading "Today's Video Newsletter: Did the right team win the Super Bowl?" →
