After the Stress Test What Happens?

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.

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

New video here: http://broadcast.ino.com/education/bank_stress_test/

Our new video is a follow-up from my April 14th video that we made before I left for New Zealand. If you have a few minutes, please take the time to view it. We think you will find it interesting that my 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 not registration required.

Please let us know your thoughts on our blog.

Load Up the Puts

Bernanke has the power of the Beard and he's taking charge of Obamanomics with today's Historic rate cute that virtually insures future depression and the mortgaging of our children's future.

The run up of the S&P to 800 was the trigger to buy puts.  Hold on thursday's market will be the continued euphoria and unrealistic levels supported by No earnings or fundamental foundation other than the FEDS printing money and borrowing like Vegas addicts.

Good Luck and Happy Trading.

Gold Marks A Higher Open for New Year

PRECIOUS METALS http://quotes.ino.com/exchanges/?c=metals 
February gold closed sharply higher on Friday marking an end to the decline off last week's high. The high-range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening on Monday. Stochastics and the RSI are turning neutral to bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near-term. If February renews this month's rally, October's high crossing at 938.80 is the next upside target. Closes below the 20-day moving average crossing at 815.70 are needed to confirm that a top has been posted. First resistance is last Wednesday's high crossing at 883.60. Second resistance is October's high crossing at 938.80. First support is the 10-day moving average crossing at 846.80. Second support is the 20-day moving average crossing at 815.70.  
March silver closed higher due to short covering on Friday as it consolidated some of Tuesday's decline. The high-range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening on Monday. Stochastics and the RSI remain bearish despite today's rebound signaling that sideways to lower prices are possible near-term. Multiple Closes below the 20-day moving average crossing at 10.261 would confirm that a short-term top has been posted. If March renews last week's rally, the reaction high crossing at 12.230 is the next upside target. First resistance is the 10-day moving average crossing at 10.701. Second resistance is last Wednesday's high crossing at 11.615. First support is Tuesday's low crossing at 10.105. Second support is the reaction low crossing at 9.125. 
March copper closed higher due to short covering on Friday but not before posting a new contract low. The high-range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening on Monday. Stochastics and the RSI are oversold but remain neutral to bearish signaling that sideways to lower prices are possible near-term. If March extends this fall's decline, monthly support crossing at 106.78 is the next downside target. Closes above the 20-day moving average crossing at 143.26 are needed to confirm that a short-term low has been posted. First resistance is the 10-day moving average crossing at 134.25. Second resistance is the 20-
day moving average crossing at 143.26. First support is today's low crossing at 125.50. Second support is monthly support crossing at 106.78.

DOW is still Trending Lower

Title of the video...How low can the Dow go?

http://www.ino.com/info/263/CD17/&dp=0&l=0&campaignid=3

Make no mistake about it, the market action on 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...

Overcome Stock Trading Fear Video

Subject: Video Lesson: Fear

"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."
Thus spoke Franklin D. Roosevelt 75 years ago.

Looking back on Roosevelt's speech in 1933, 4 years after the infamous crash of '29, he was referring to the economic conditions of the time -- better known as The Great Depression. In essence he was saying that if we can't shake our pessimistic economic outlook, it will be tough to turn things around.

The question is... are things different this time?

OVERCOME STOCK TRADING FEAR VIDEO

The answer is yes and no. People are still fearful of what the future holds and they have very little confidence in the economy. The big difference between the crash of '08 and the crash of '29 is that we now have India and China on the world stage. Back in '29, both of these countries where not on the radar. In fact India was under British Rule.

Both India and China's economies will suffer with the turn down here in the US. They are now going to have to generate their own domestic consumption patterns for the goods and services they formally sold to the US. This is going to be hard to do as so much of their economy is based on exports which are evaporating quickly.

The fact of the matter is that the markets are extraordinarily turbulent. We do not expect, even with the worldwide bailout, for things will be rosy again anytime soon. However, that does not rule out some extraordinary trading opportunities in the markets. This is a time for rational thinking. It is also a time to eliminate fear from trading.

There is no need for fear in one's trading plan if you're running with a diversified program that has proven to be successful over time. What I mean by overtime is not just the last six months, or six years, but over a long period of time I mean as much as 30 years.

When you have a program that puts the odds on your side, you can trade with confidence knowing that you're going to lose some small skirmishes in the market, but overall you will make money based on your own trading decisions.

Many of you know that we trade using MarketClub's "Trade Triangle" technology. This approach has proven successful in all types of markets, including the one's we are in now.

I've put together a short 12 minute video to show you how we have fared in three different markets using this technology.

For a small percentage of you, this video will be an eye-opening experience. For another percentage of you, you are already fearless MarketClub members. There will also be some of you that are successful traders using your own system, and there is probably no need to watch this video.

Trading should be an unemotional experience. If you are trading for the excitement, odds are you're going to lose. If you are trading just to say that you trade, you're probably going to lose. If your trade for any other reason than to make money, you're probably going to lose.

The possibility of successfully trading any market is out there. This video will show you how our unemotional, time tested approach to the stock, future, forex, etf, and mutual fund market will put the odds in your favor that you are on the right side of these extraordinary trading times.

Is Gold Ready to Skyrocket?

Is gold ready to skyrocket?

Hi, this is Adam Hewison. I have just finished a new video on gold that I would like you to see. This new video deals with some of the strange events that we've been going through the past two or three weeks, or in some cases several months.

Latest Gold Video

I know most of the gold bugs have been disappointed that their favorite yellow metal hasn't skyrocketed to new highs. Some people said that we'd hit two to three thousand dollars an ounce when gold topped the one thousand mark a few months ago. I'm not sure that we will see levels like that, but the reality is, we could be seeing more interest come into this market which could push it higher.

In this short five minute video, you will get to see how well our "Trade Triangle" technology has done in the gold market. I will also show you when I think gold should hit its peak.

This is an educational video that is meant to inform you on the dynamics of the gold market and how it can help you improve your trading and timing in the future.

Best of luck in life and trading,

What is Good for General Motors is Good for America

Dear TradeVisionary,

GM has hit historic Lows...but

"What is good for General Motors is good for America"

Back in 1955, Charlie Wilson, then chairman of General Motors Corp. made this somewhat pompous statement. Here we are, some 53 years later and look what is happening to the stock of General Motors (NYSE_GM). This stock is at a 53 year low and shows no signs of turning around.

So the question becomes, what happened to America and General Motors?

Read this shocking blog report and learn all about the future of GM and America in the world.

Linda Raschke Is One Smart Gal

Subject:

Dear Trader...

I have not had the pleasure of meeting as many professional traders
as Adam Hewison from Ino has. The good thing is that with the free version of INO TV, you can meet four of the world's top traders and have a front row seat to their seminars for free.

As a regular user of our INO TV service, I am a huge fan of
professional trader, Linda Raschke. Honestly, I don't know why I
put her in a class of her own among the other many amazing seminar
authors.

It could be that she has had continued success in the trading arena
for over two decades. It it could be that I am drawn to her
superior presentation skills. It could also be that she is a great
role model for young women pursuing a career in finance and/or
business.

Ok, ok... I wont play the gender card. I am completely aware that
over 91% of you individual traders are men. However, no matter what
gender you may be you can recognize Linda's trading intellect and
appreciate the tips and strategies in her seminar that we present
in the complimentary version of INO TV.

"Classic Indicators - Back to the Future"

Besides lecturing to thousands of individual traders in over 18
countries, Linda is a principal trader for several hedge funds and
is president of LBR Group, Inc. She was profiled in Jack Schwager's
book, "The New Market Wizards," and frequently is featured trader
in numerous financial publications and on national radio/television
programs. Currently she is the vice president of the American
Association of Professional Technical Analysts.

Self-directed traders have spent big bucks to learn from Linda, but
we are offering one of her lectures for absolutely no cost.

She is one of my INO TV personal favorite trading experts and I
hope you will become fond of her as well.

Watch her seminar, "Classic Indicators - Back to the Future" today
at no cost on INO TV.


Enjoy Linda's Seminar,
Bill Whetstone
