You got it right!

April 22, 2008 · Filed Under General · Comment 

Congratulations to all readers of this blog.

I would like to thank you for participating in all our polls that we have posted over last several months. The predictive power of these visitor blog polls has been amazing.

Not only did you predict months ago that the dollar had not bottomed out, but the collective poll indicated negativity for the U.S. economy. Both of these predictions turned out to be 100% correct.

Our latest poll is asking who will be the Democratic nominee for president? The results have been very interesting. I believe our poll voters have it correct, 44% of you indicated that you are just plain tired of this going on for so long. In fact, it was quite a relief last week to see the Pope Benedict on television instead of Clinton or Obama. So once again I believe the poll has it right, the majority of people are just tired of the whole thing.

Today being Tuesday, it’s time for the Pennsylvania primary. Our poll indicates that Senator Barack Obama is leading Senator Hillary Clinton overall and will be the Democratic nominee for president. Obama leads Clinton by a two to one margin overall . We did not do a poll for Pennsylvania as we believe that it was too narrow a focus for our users. We believe Obama’s lead on this poll is significant as it is coming from a financially related website.

Tonight, I’m sure many of us will be glued to CNN watching the results come in precinct by precinct. We are all hoping for an end to this incredibly long process to nominate a candidate.

The purpose of this blog posting today is to thank you for participating in all of our previous polls and encourage you to vote in new polls that we are planning in the months ahead.

One thing I found out today on this blog is that you can actually e-mail a friend on any of the blog postings. You may like to do this with some of our videos.

Here’s how you do it. At the end of every post, you will see a number of little icons that help “spread the word”. To the right of that, you will see several links called: a promo, print, e-mail and comment.

If you’d like to e-mail a friend about this blog, any postings or any video that we do, please use the easy to use e-mail link that I just mentioned.

If you’d like to add your comments to this blog, just click the comment button. Quite honestly we encourage you to comment on our posts.

If you’d like to post your own experience about the markets on this blog, please send us a comment and we will reply to you. Also include your telephone number so that we can reach you if we have any questions. As you know, we are not brokers so we won’t be asking you to open the account with us. Rest assured your privacy is guarded with our company.

Thanks for taking the time to read this brief posts and lets see what happens tonight with the Democratic primary in Pennsylvania. All the best in life and in the markets.

It is a no-brainer …

April 22, 2008 · Filed Under General · 2 Comments 

It’s a no-brainer.

If I’ve heard that expression once, I have heard it a thousand times from traders over the years.

While trading in the pits of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange early in my career, that expression was a common phrase used by many of my fellow traders on the trading floor. Many traders are saying that MarketClub is a no-brainer, we prefer to think of MarketClub as a refuge for smart traders.

Today we are looking at the forex market and in particular the EURO/YEN cross. This cross first came to our attention in MarketClub’s portfolio alerts system. So, today I decided to spend a little time and analyze this market for you.

As you may know the foreign exchange market is a $3 trillion a year market, making it the biggest market in the world. This game is played 24 hours a day, six days a week. The EURO/YEN cross has had a particularly big move over the last several years, the question now is: is this cross going to continue higher?

In my detailed analysis of the EURO/YEN cross, you will see my reasons and my analysis for why this market could be beginning a big move right now.


We’ll also be looking at this market scientifically using MarketClub’s “Trade Triangle” technology. This technology has enjoyed a great deal of success in forex as well as other markets. The “Trade Triangle” approach is a totally driven, non-emotional way to look at any market including the EURO/YEN cross.

I’m sure you’ll get a lot out of this seven minute video as it will help you further understand how the markets really work.

Every success in trading and in life,
