Bank Stress Test...do You Believe It?

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.

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.

Gold Is Positioned For Blastoff

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,

Linda Raschke Is One Smart Gal

Subject: Linda Raschke Is One Smart Gal

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

You see, the Trend Analysis tool you are using is only a small component of a much bigger system that has produced consistent profits in the Stocks, Futures, Precious Metals and Foreign Exchange markets.

In fact, had you been using our full program along with a simple filtering technique, you could have weeded out bad trades and enjoyed profits in the last 12 months. These short videos explain how:

Trading - Here's a nifty trading tool you can use today.
http://broadcast.ino.com/education/50rule/?upta

Every day we track 238,117 symbols to find winning trades for our members. We do this not only for the U.S./Canadian stock markets, but also for Futures, ETFs, Precious Metals and the biggest market in the world, Foreign Exchange.

Now 238,117 symbols is a lot of data to scan and crunch every few minutes, but that’s what you have to do when your goal is to be the best of the best.

After we zip thru all 238,117 symbols, we laser focus in on a hand full of choices. We then automatically generate specific signals using MarketClub's "Trade Triangle" technology to find winning trades. MarketClub members tell us they love this part of our program.

Now here's the question... why shouldn't you have the same tools, or in this case better tools than the big boys on Wall Street, LaSalle Street and Bay Street? Why should they get all of the good trades?

Here's your opportunity to access the very same tools that we used to outperform all the hedge funds for the past 12 months.

We could go on and on but look what MarketClub members have to say about their own personal experiences using MarketClub.

Testimonials:
________________

I've been trading the markets for 30 + years, mostly with mutual funds and more recently with ETFs. It seems like it used to be easier to figure out patterns, but over the last 5 + years it had has been increasingly difficult for me to ascertain the trend, or whether the market was sideways. The resulting whipsaws cost me money and stagnated my trading. I now feel like I'm back on track and making money again. Those triangles sure do work and I really like your daily tutorials. I'm grateful for all the tools at MarketClub.

-Bob, Idaho

I agree with this gentleman's approach to using MarketClub to weed out the best of the best in my subscription. I have been able to consistently beat the market with minimum risk and maximum reward since subscribing to MarketClub. I would not drop my subscription-as it provides the research I am not willing or competent to do. Together I have a winning combo. Thanks again!
