The Bank Stress Test....Do you Believe It?

I have been scratching my head wondering why the market (in this case the S&P) has moved so high for little or no reason. The economy still appears to be very much on the defensive with unemployment rising and the business environment still on a slippery slope.

We made this video before the stress test was announced and suspect that all of the stress test leaks have already being discounted by the market.

Our new video is a follow up to our April 14th video. If you have a few minutes, please take the time to view it. I think you will find it interesting that our observations may conflict with current market trend.

With the Obama honeymoon coming to an end, we are going to see how the markets move without government influence. There has never been a government that was able to dodge a major business cycle, and this one sure is a doozy.

As always, the videos are available with our compliments. There is no registration required.

Could The SP 500 Be Running Out Of Gas?

After a spectacular rally from the lows seen last month, the S&P appears to be running into overhead resistance.

Is this the pause that refreshes, or is this the pause that reverses the market back towards the lows?

We have said for some time that we are not that confident that this rally would continue as our long-term “Trade Triangle” remained in a negative mode. In our new video we outline the key areas that we believe will shape this market in the coming weeks and months.

The video features our “Trade Triangle” technology as well as our Fibonacci tools. We will also remind you of a concept that has been around for a while, but one that you might not be aware of.

No matter what happens, you are going to see some extraordinary markets and some wonderful opportunities to make money in the next 6-9 months.

Some investors may be hoping for the best, but be prepared as we might see another dive. I highly recommend students of the market to take a few minutes and watch my latest video. Even if you’re a seasoned pro you may find what you see interesting and therefore profitable.

As always, the video comes from us free of charge with no strings attached.

The Fibonacci Tool Fully Explained

The Fibonacci tool fully explained in this video, it’s a technical tool that can make you rich.

You may have heard about Fibonacci, the man who discovered a set of numbers who that have a major affect on the market. So who is this Fibonacci fellow, and why are his findings so important in the market place?

The mathematical findings by this thirteenth century Italian man has yielded a useful technical analysis tool which is used in technical analysis and by scientists in a large array of fields. Born Leonardo of Piza, he is better known in the trading community as Fibonacci. Fibonacci’s best known work is Liber Abaci which is generally credited as having introduced the Arabic number system which we use today.

Fibonacci introduced a number sequence in Liber Abaci which is said to be a reflection of human nature. The series is as follows: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144 and on to infinity. The series is derived by adding each number to the previous. For example, 1+1=2 , 2+1=3, 3+2=5, 5+3=8, 8+5=13, and so on.

We use the Fibonacci series mainly for retracements (see today’s video) and to show us where support and resistance might come into the market. We also use this tool to enter or add onto a position.
In our new video, we show you these exact retracements and how they affected the market at that time.

Is It Time To Back The Dollar? Let's Go To The Chart

From Guest Blogger Adam Hewison......

I can't help it, “I love the forex markets.”

But what’s this?

Here we are going to hell in a hand basket in the US, yet everybody wants to own dollars. Go figure!

I have to say that the dollar may be the lesser of all evils in the financial world. Here’s what I mean by that statement: I heard that a Chinese businessman who lives in Hong Kong said that the stimulus plan would not work in China, simply because there is so much corruption.

I guess in the US we only have a few bad applies, while China it’s almost like they have orchards full of bad apples.

But I digress…

Let’s take a look at the US Dollar versus the Japanese Yen (USDJPY). A few weeks ago, we did a video outlining my predictions for this very cross.

Well, after being stopped out of our first position for a small loss, we had another signal based on our daily “Trade Triangle” technology, which issued another entry signal at a very good level. The level is clearly indicated on the chart and you’ll see this level in my new video for this cross.

The video, as always, is free of charge and there’s no need to register. This is an educational trading video to show you one of the most important technical chart formations and how to incorporate our “Trade Triangle” technology to come up with big winners.

This simple formation continues to show itself year after year.

How Can You Consistently Conquer The Forex Markets

The Forex Market is the biggest in the world and is traded on a 24/7 basis. And because that it is one of my favorite markets. Today, we are dissecting and examining the Forex market.

What makes these markets so exciting is the fact that they have a very strong tendency to trend, that is, once they get started in one direction they tend to continue in that direction for some time.

I learned how to trade Forex in the trading pits of Chicago where I was a member of the IMM, a division of the Chicago Mercantile exchange. The CME has grown dramatically over the years, and I have many fond memories of trading in the old exchange in Chicago. Today, you can trade the stock of the CME (NASDAQ_CME). That’s a good idea for our next video, let us know if you would like to see a video on trading the stock of the CME.

Today we are exploring the relationship between the Euro and the Dollar (EURUSD). In this short video, which we are making available without cost or registration, you’ll catch a glimpse of a conservative way to trade the Forex markets. This approach will detach you from your computer screen and show you how to enjoy your free time without having to worry about the markets.

I would not recommend this movie if you are risk adverse. Trading in Forex, the futures markets, and in any market for that matter always has an element of risk.

I hope you enjoy this educational Forex trading video and that you’re able to see the value in this approach.

Stock Market Smack Down “Fundamentals vs Technicals”

Every once in a while, we all like to flip the TV channels and watch Jim Cramer on CNBC. It’s not that Jim Cramer is a spectacular trader, he is a talented and amusing guy. The last time I tuned on the tube, CNBC’s Jim Cramer was naming his top five picks to get you through these recessionary times.

So here is a list of the five stocks that Mr. Cramer picked on the close of business on January 8, 2009.

Caterpillar: (NYSE_CAT) - Closed @ 44.08
Home Depot: (NYSE_HD) - Closed @ 24.38
Johnson and Johnson: (NYSE_JNJ ) - Closed @ 59.02
Hewlett - Packard Company: (NYSE_HPQ) - Closed @ 37.61
Verizon Communications: (NYSE_VZ) - Closed @ 32.42

So we decided to put MarketClub’s “Trade Triangle” technology right next to Jim Cramer’s picks to compare how we both have done for the past few weeks. The one thing that struck us as odd with Mr. Cramer’s trading, is that he never seems to implement a stop loss technique. He talks about money management, but never about the use of stops. He just seems to let his positions run. For example, in the case of Caterpillar (NYSE_CAT), Mr Cramer’s first pick is down 25% from the date it was recommended. I don’t know about you, but a 25% loss in any market is enough to give me the heebie jeebies.

Click Here To Check Out “Fundamentals vs Technicals” Video"

Admittedly that’s extreme, but if your only looking for a 25% up move and the stock is down 25% you really have to make 50% just to get back to even. It’s the type of trading I just don’t understand. I learned a long time ago that trying to pick bottoms and tops in the markets is a loser’s game and a futile exercise that can be very expensive.

So, if Mr. Cramer is long all the stocks listed above, what positions is MarketClub’s “Trade Triangle” technology suggesting for those stocks … are we long or are we short? Well, it turns out we are short all of the above stocks and we see the trend in those stocks as still being negative.

So what’s an investor to do? You can be entertained by Jim Cramer or you can use the “Trade Triangles” to scientifically make money in the markets. The great thing about MarketClub’s “Trade Triangle” technology is that there is no emotion in the signals, it is purely a mathematical algorithm that keeps you on the side with the better odds.

A systematic market proven program approach has flaws like anything else. However, if one follows an approach like this you will make money over time. It also allows you to sleep much better at night when using a systematic program to buy and sell stocks, futures, precious metals and the forex markets.

So while Mr. Cramer is enormously popular and entertaining, I’m not sure that I would want to put my money with this type of approach. I would much rather approach the market in a systematic, scientific way knowing that the odds are in my favor.

We will follow up on these trades when we receive a buy signal or an exit-short position signal and we’ll see exactly how our “Trade Triangle” technology is working vis-a-vis Mr. Cramer.

Please feel free to make comments on this post and if Mr. Cramer decides to cover his positions and you hear about it first let us know.

Great Ways To Ponzi Proof Your Portfolio

"5 Ways to Ponzi proof your portfolio and sleep well at night" Click Here


I must say I that I am appalled to see scum like Bernie Madoff stealing money from honest people. In many ways he's committing one of the most heinous of crimes. He's destroying the financial standings of unsuspecting victims for his own selfish greed.

In my opinion, he should just go right to jail as he has already confessed to the crime. We've seen them throw people in the slammer for much lesser offenses, but that's just my opinion.

Okay, so how do you Ponzi proof your portfolio? The key here is to take control of your financial future. This is not as difficult as you might think. Not to mention that the mistakes you may make are your mistakes, and not that of a crazy, old guy down in Florida who may run off with your money too. I'm just amazed that anyone thinks that they can actually get away with this garbage.We all know a Ponzi scheme is doomed to failure; there is not enough money in the world to keep them going. By nature... it eventually has to collapse. But, if you take control of your money... and take it out of the hands of people like Madoff... then you can sleep more soundly at night.

Forex Video "Trends and Market Timing in the Forex Markets"

From the desk of Adam Hewison....

In this week's video, we will be exploring the world of foreign exchange.
It is also commonly known as the forex market to industry professionals.

Watch Video

The forex market is the biggest market in the world with trillions of
dollars changing hands everyday. This truly is the most fluid and liquid
marketplace on earth. This market trades 24 hours a day, 6 1/2 days a
week and it is traded by every major bank in the world.

One of the cool things about forex is the fact that markets tend to trend
very well and therefore they are very suitable for technical analysis and
the use of trend following techniques such as MarketClub's "Trade Triangle."

Today, we will be focusing in on the EUR/USD exchange rate. As of right now,
the dollar continues to be gaining for the year against the Euro. However,
we still have about another week left to trade in 2008 and we could see the
USD end up being flat for the year.

This gets back to a point I have made before...never buy-and-hold a security
or a currency as events are constantly changing in the financial arena.

My new video runs about seven minutes. In the online video, which you can view
with my compliments, I will show you step-by-step exactly how we approach both
trends and market timing in the forex markets.

Watch Video

I think you will get a lot out of this video as it will teach you how we approach
the currency markets. If you have any questions please feel free to call our office
at 1-800-538-7424.

Every success in the coming year and every success in trading the forex markets.

800 Year Old Trading Secret Still Works Today

Click here To Watch Video
This one trading secret opened my eyes to why things happen in the markets.

This trading secret, which is over 800 years old, is one of the most monumental mathematical discoveries of all time.

The publication in 1202 of the "The Book of Calculation" was never meant to be a road map to success in the markets. However, it turned out to be an extraordinary blueprint for how modern day markets work.

The number sequences contained in this amazing 800 year old book, is like having a virtual DNA for every stock, futures and foreign exchange market.

No one knows for sure why these number sequences work. Some traders believe them to be mystical, others, like myself prefer to call them one of life's little mysteries.

This sequence of numbers has been used to trade the markets for over 30 years. I have to say that after all this time, I am still amazed that these numbers still work!

This 8 minute educational trading video remains true to core principles of the "The Book of Calculation." This shows you step by step, exactly how you can benefit from using this trading secret.

Once you view the video and absorb this valuable educational trading lesson, you can apply the exact same principles you learn to your own trading. What could be better than that.

How To Determine The Trend? Just Connect The Dots

Connect The Dots Video

One of the easiest ways to determine the trend in any market is simply to connect the dot's. In this five minute video, we explain how you can connect the dots in any market to determine its trend. We will show you three examples of connecting the dots...

1. How to determine a downtrend.
2. How to determine an uptrend.
3. How to determine when a market is making a change of direction.

One of the key components we look for is how a market closes on a Friday or the last trading day of the week. This is when traders have to decide what they want to do with their positions. It also tells you with a high degree of probability which way the market is headed for the upcoming week. We learned this trading secret on the floor of the exchange in Chicago and it is one we would like to share with you today. we feel that this technique has a lot of validity, particularly in light of today's volatile markets.

Turkeys Spending Trillions and Yet There's Still Room For Thanks

From guest blogger Adam Hewison.....

Have you ever built or remodeled a house? If you have, then you know that it always takes longer and cost twice as much as you first estimated. This is exactly the position that the US government has put itself in, only this time the house is the whole country. Now we have to gut the country and totally redo everything. It's likely to take twice as much time and cost US taxpayers twice as much money to get out of this recession.

Do you know how many zeros there are in a trillion dollars? I really didn't know myself, as that is way above my pay scale. So, I looked it up on Google and there are 12 zeros behind the 1. When this mess is all over, we will be lucky if the government doesn't spend 5 trillion dollars (5,000,000,000,000) to get everything back to some form of normalcy in the US markets.

We are continually seeing new people being trotted out in front of the cameras and microphone saying that this bailout is going to cost $700 billion and something else is going to cost $350 billion. I have a deep suspicion that they have no clue and no belief in what they are saying or doing. It's also amazing to me that the people that got us into this mess in the first place on now in charge of getting us out of this mess. This does not seem like a very smart idea to me.

One of the most interesting things about the markets is that they never tell you when a bottom is in place until much later. I think that the many economic problems that are currently sitting on the back burner, will warrant this market to continue its slide to the downside. If you haven't seen my video, "How Low Can The Dow Go," I recommend that you check it out by tapping this link: Video Link

The technical outlook for the stock market remains negative in my opinion. There's a great deal of overhead resistance in this market which leads me to believe we will still see further downside erosion. Unlike a bull market that constantly needs to have positive inputs like earnings and positive outlooks, a bear market simply can fall on its own weight.

One thing we rely on to tell us when the market switches gears from a negative to a positive trend is our "Trade Triangle" technology. Presently all of our "Trade Triangles" are in a negative mode for all the indices, and show little or no signs of turning up.

So what's an investor to do?

Do you buy and hold because it looks cheap? That is not the way I believe you want to trade this market. The closest parallel we have to this market is the crash of 1929 and the bear market that lasted into the early '30s. We've only been in this crisis mode for a little over a year and I believe we have a way to go before the recovery begins.

We still have a downside projection for the DOW at 6,600 and we see little or no reason to change that technical target at this time.

Make no mistake about it, these are difficult times for many people, and many people will lose their jobs before business and the markets pick up. There's still the mess with General Motors (NYSE_GM), Ford (NYSE_F) and Chrysler to take care of. How much is that going to cost? In my opinion, the auto industry has been in decline and denial since the '70s, and any money that is given to them is like throwing money down a rat hole unless there is a major new business plan and a severe downsizing of those industries.

No matter what rough times lay ahead, keep the faith, keep your head down and the computer on, because there are some great trading opportunities that I know will be coming up soon in the marketplace.

From all of our staff both at INO.com and MarketClub, we wish you success in the future. To all of our American friends and clients, we hope you had a very Happy Thanksgiving. We still have a lot to be thankful for in this world.

So How low Do You Think The Dow Can Go?

Watch Video

Make no mistake about it, the market action on last Wednesday (November 19th) was extremely negative for all of the indices that we track. The close below 8,000 on the DOW can only be described as negative, indicating further weakness to the downside. I am looking for this index to trade down to around the 6600-6700 level.

Looking at the charts using our "Trade Triangle" technology, it is clear that the Dow has been under pressure since our first major sell signal at 11,290. I see no reason to alter this stand, as I believe the trend will continue to be on the downside. I expect to see further weakness in the weeks and months to come.

Here are the three choices you have as an investor:

1. You can go long a market.
2. You can go short a market.
3. You can move into cash.

I'm often amused when I see people buying "defensive stocks." Why not get out of the market entirely when it's going down. Doesn't that make more sense to everyone?
However, most brokers want you to stay in the market at all times fearing that they will miss a bottom. Truth is, most investors (including brokers) missed the top, so what makes anyone so sure that they'll catch the bottom?
The key in trading is not to get out at the top, or in at the bottom. Anyone who tells you to do that isn't playing smart in the markets, and most likely claims that they are holding the "holy grail" of trading.

An investor's goal should be to capture 70% of a move. The middle is the sweet spot, and if you make enough in the middle then who cares about the tops and bottoms. Forget picking up the 15% on the top and 15% on the bottom, it doesn't work consistently to use it as a trading strategy.

Check out my new video and see exactly where we got out of the indexes and were we see them headed right now...
