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 11th of January.

You know sometimes we get so caught up with what's going on here in the US, that we fail to recognize trading opportunities overseas. Several years ago, we put together our Global Strategy portfolio, which can also be referred to as the BRIC plus A portfolio. This portfolio covers the following countries: Brazil, Russia, India, China and Australia.

Here are our current positions. The portfolio only trades in ETFs. Continue reading "New Video: Have you looked at MarketClub's Global Strategy portfolio lately?" →

New Video: We delve into the HERBALIFE Smackdown

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 10th of January.

There is a real smackdown going on in the stock of HERBALIFE (HLF). William Ackman, a major hedge fund manager, is accusing HERBALIFE of being nothing more than a pyramid scheme. That is a pretty serious charge about a public company. On the other side of the smackdown is Daniel Loeb, another big hedge fund manager, who is saying that the accusation is all bull crap. Who's right? We are not taking sides, but it looks to us like they are both talking their positions.

With that in mind, we decided to take a close look at HERBALIFE using our Trade Triangle technology and come to an unbiased opinion on this stock. In today's video, in addition to HERBALIFE and our normal rundown, we will be analyzing Ford Motor Company and Facebook, two very different companies. I think you will find today's video interesting and educational. Continue reading "New Video: We delve into the HERBALIFE Smackdown" →

Mark Lackey Homes in on Golden Mining Opportunities in West Africa

Posted on by admin

The Gold Report: When you last spoke with The Gold Report this past March, gold had just dropped from its first peak of the year, from $1,781/ounce (oz) at the end of February to $1,660/oz in a matter of three weeks. Now it's looking for support at $1,700/oz. The trading range you predicted for 2012 looks good in retrospect. What are you projecting from here?

Mark Lackey: I'm looking at a range from $1,680/oz to $1,850/oz, and moving up over the year so that by December I am expecting to see the gold price at $1,850/oz.

TGR: But you don't see a big breakout past $2,000/oz that some people are predicting?

ML: It's possible, but for the gold price to go much higher than $1,850/oz there needs to be a good reason, such as a big decline in the value of the U.S. dollar or major gold buying by central banks. While I expect the dollar will weaken somewhat in 2013, I don't expect a huge decline. Over the next few years we'll get above $2,000/oz, but probably not in 2013.

TGR: What do you see as the market drivers for gold at this time? Continue reading "Mark Lackey Homes in on Golden Mining Opportunities in West Africa" →

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

Let me start by wishing everyone a happy and prosperous 2013! I hope you all enjoyed the break and were able to celebrate Christmas time and the start of the New Year with your families.

IS RUSSIA THE NEW FACE OF CAPITALISM?
Well, you may or may not have heard that Gerard Depardieu, the French movie actor, recently become a Russian citizen and now has a Russian passport. It was purely an economic decision in his case, because he didn't want to pay the 75% rate of tax imposed by François Hollande on millionaires. Taxes in Russia are 13%!

The country who has the lowest taxes usually does well, as 75% of nothing is after all nothing! Continue reading "New Video: Is Russia the New Face of Capitalism?" →
