New trading video
Hi,
It sure is good to be back. This past weekend I returned from vacation in France with my wife where we were cruising the canals just outside of Strasbourg. It was a great deal of fun.
I have to say, every trader needs and deserves a break away from the markets. Normally the August markets are fairly quiet, so it seemed like a good time to get away. Boy… was I wrong. Not wrong on the markets, but wrong on the markets being quiet.
Arriving back in the States having not seen a newspaper for two weeks and with limited access to internet, I was surprised to see some of the moves in the major markets. I was also happy to see the price of crude oil!!
I have known for a long time that news is not the important driver of price action. Most new traders believe they needed to be glued to the news every second of the day, frightened they will miss some news headline.
Here’s a little secret… the most important element in the market is not the news, it is the market action itself. Everything else is secondary. In my new video I explain exactly how we look at the market and how you can benefit from looking at the market the same way.
The new video is only four minutes long and I think you’ll find it fresh, timeless and interesting.
The simplicity speaks for itself.
Enjoy the video,

We revisit a crude oil posting
(First published on 7/21)
How many times have you heard that it’s going to be different this time?
Do you remember the dot com bust? Well, that was supposed to be different and look what happened. Same with the housing bubble, that was supposed to be different and look how that’s turning out. Both events created the illusion of madness that made everyone rich on paper for at least 20 seconds.
The fact is, it’s always different “this time”, that’s what makes it different.
But it’s different this time in crude oil, right?
Okay, I know, I have heard all the reasons why oil is up, we are running out of energy, India and China are buying, the turmoil in the Middle East, etc, etc. Let’s face it the energy market is the market du jour.
But it’s different this time in crude oil, right?
I have to say that it’s always different and at the same time it is always the same, only the names of the players in the markets change. It’s all speculation (ooh, dirty word) but the reality of the situation someone is always left holding the bag.
The irrefutable laws of the market never change:
Check out my new crude oil video after you have read the six steps.
Read on and understand why.
SIX STEPS and the IRREFUTABLE LAWS of the MARKET
What Every Investor and Trader needs to know to Succeed in the Markets.
Step 1: A move begins with the sponsors (smart traders) who have insider knowledge as it relates to a particular stock or market. This information will move a market up or down depending on the insiders’ information. These buyers are smart, very smart, and recognize trading/investment opportunities very early in the markup cycle.
Step 2: Days, weeks, or sometimes months after a move has started, there is a brief mention in the electronic media (radio, cable, TV) or on one of the internet chat boards that a market has moved. The public hears for the first time and begins to get interested, but does not buy.
Step 3: A blurb of information appears in print media. The move also begins getting more exposure on blogs and internet message boards. The public starts paying a little more attention, and will buy a little bit.
Step 4: Wall Street and LaSalle Street brokers go into full hype mode and hawk the market to their customers. The public begins buying in greater volume.
Step 5: A full-blown front-page article appears about the particular stock or market in one of the major financial newspapers, magazines, or financial websites. This is often six months after the fact and after a market has shown its greatest appreciation. There is often heavy public buying, even a possible frenzy, as all media, brokers, and so-called “gurus” start to tout the market.
Step 6: As step 5 gets underway, the sponsors or smart traders begin to move out of the market and take their profits off the table.
The finale Step: The move ends, the market falls, and investors lose money.
Does any of this sound familiar to you? If it does then you know the key rules of engagement in the market. If none of this is familiar to you then learn to recognize these six step asap. Your financial life depends on it!!
Think about it.

How a 500 year old charting program predicted the top in crude oil
How could a 500 year charting system possibly predict the top in the crude oil market in 2008?
Well, it did, and this video proves it.
You may have missed my earlier video on crude oil, if you did, I strongly recommend that you take a few minutes and see what we predicted for crude oil on July 16. You will also get to see the exact sell signal that all our members received.
In this short video we analyze the crude oil market and what we expect it will do in the future.
There are many skeptics out there who do not believe in charting and this methodology. Japanese candlestick charting has been in existence for over 500 years and has prove itself time and time again. I think this video and modern day example will put to rest a lot of those skeptics.
Enjoy the video. We welcome your comments.
Every success in trading and in life.

Is the move in Crude Oil over???
What a difference a day makes. The DOW up 277 points, gold dropping 10 dollars and crude oil under pressure and falling to its lowest levels in three weeks. Amazing.
We have said this before, and we will say it again … Sentiment and Perception rule the markets.
I have prepared a short video on crude oil to show you why we feel it is on the defensive and why we should see some lower to sideways action in the near-term
In the video I will show you precise points where I think crude oil will find natural support before resuming its upward trend.
There is no cost for viewing the video and I think you’ll find it both educational and informative.

Twin Disasters
TWIN DISASTERS
Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae
No love for these two stocks.
Even after Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson made a statement ensuring that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would remain as presently constituted to carry out their mission it was not enough to satisfy most investors.
Both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac hold about $5 trillion worth of mortgage guarantees in this country, roughly about half of the 9.5 trillion mortgage debt. Their survival is paramount.
The trouble with these two companies is the latest depressing factor in the current credit and confidence crisis that the United States is going through at the present time. This type of negative information is depressing for stocks and weighs on the minds of investors. This type of mindset is similar to the early seventies when we witnessed the last prolonged bear market.
There are no quick fixes to our current set of problems, only trading opportunities.
We live in a capitalist society and these are the cycles that we go through every 30 to 40 years. This is the price we pay for living in a free society.
My new eight minute video shows in detail how easy it is to avoid disaster stocks like Freddie and Fannie. I also show you in very clear terms how to fortress your portfolio to withstand any type of financial tornado that blows through the world economy.

Is GOLD the last store of value on the planet?
Hi, Adam Hewison here. I’ve just finished a new movie on gold and I would like to share it with you. This new video shows what may happen to gold in the next one to three months. There’s a lot of potential in this market, but there also is potential risk involved. The good news is that risk can be managed with stops and potential target zones can be measured through chart patterns.
I hope you enjoyed the video I made on 7/09/08 (well before today’s big jump in gold) to illustrate that sometimes the markets tip you off to what they’re going to do next.
With all the financial turmoil in today’s troubled world, it seems like gold may be the only store of value that everyone’s going to turn to in the very near future. Many of the European banks have not fessed up to all of their investing/trading problems and I expect that this could well be the other shoe that falls.
On 7/10/08, our “Trade Triangle” technology signaled a new buy for the spot gold market. Watch the video and I’ll show you exactly how high we think this market could go in the future.
As always, we welcome your comments and thoughts on the markets.
Every success,

P.S. Here’s all the details of the Apple announcement courtesy of AP
——————–
By JORDAN ROBERTSON
AP Technology Writer
(AP:SAN FRANCISCO) The iPhone will soon be $200 cheaper _ and come with satellite navigation, faster Internet access and other new features _ but higher monthly service charges are likely to erase most of the savings.
Apple Inc. revealed Monday that it has scrapped its pricing plan for the iPhone as it unveiled a model that works over faster wireless networks, addressing key criticisms about the device that have hurt the company’s foray into the cell phone industry.
An 8-gigabyte version with the new features will go for $199 when it goes on sale July 11, and a 16 gigabyte model will cost $299, the Cupertino-based company said.
Current iPhone owners who buy a new model and sign up for a new AT&T contract won’t have to pay any penalties to get out of their current contract, AT&T spokesman Michael Coe said. And anyone who bought an iPhone in an AT&T store after May 26 can return it before Aug. 1 for full credit against a new one _ less a 10 percent restocking fee.
Apple plans to make up the difference in sales revenue with volume _ and with subsidies wireless carriers will now pay for the right to carry the gadget.
In changing the pricing arrangements, Apple is pulling out of revenue-sharing arrangements with some wireless carriers, a move that frees the carriers to charge higher prices for the service.
Apple shares fell $4.03, or 2.2 percent, to close Monday at $181.61 on the news, a sign that some investors were hoping for more and others were taking their profits after a four-month run-up in Apple’s stock price, which leaped from $120 in March.
The new iPhones, initially to be introduced in 22 countries, are designed to work over so-called 3G, or third-generation, wireless networks and have global-positioning technology built in.
They will also support Microsoft Corp.’s Exchange software, an addition that puts the iPhone in more direct competition with Research in Motion Ltd.’s BlackBerry and Palm Inc.’s Treo smart phones and is intended to appeal to the business market.
Analysts have said Apple needed to slash the iPhone’s price and make it usable on faster networks to hit the company’s target of selling 10 million iPhones by the end of 2008. Apple said the 3G iPhones download data twice as fast as the older ones.
Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs said Apple has sold 6 million iPhones since the first model launched nearly a year ago and 700,000 since March. That points to a steady slowdown in sales starting in the fourth quarter last year as customers waited for a 3G version.
Jobs showed off the new models of the iPhone and about a dozen new applications for the device at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco.
New applications range from video games that use the iPhone’s motion-sensing technology to guide characters to study tools for medical students and a program that allows users to find nearby cell-phone-carrying friends on a map.
One program brings real-time video highlights and game stats from MLB.com; another creates an Associated Press news feed based on the user’s location and lets users submit news tips to the AP.
Apple also announced a new Web-based service called “MobileMe,” which the company describes as “Exchange _ for the rest of us,” a consumer-friendly way for people to link their iPhones to their home and work computers so updates entered into one device automatically appear in the others.
MobileMe will cost $99 per year and come with 20 gigabytes of online storage.
AT&T Inc., the exclusive U.S. carrier for the iPhone, said service for it will start at $39.99 per month, plus $30 for unlimited data. That works out to a $10 increase from the cheapest plan for the first-generation iPhone; over the course of a two-year contract, that increase wipes out the savings from the price cut Apple announced Monday.
AT&T’s pricing covers only U.S. residents. While iPhone prices will drop outside the U.S. too, it was not clear whether other carriers would raise monthly fees to compensate.
AT&T also warned that it will take an earnings hit due to the pricing because new subsidies it agreed to pay will produce the iPhone price cut _ not a reduction from Apple.
Apple said in a regulatory filing that under most of its new carrier agreements, it will not receive a share of subscribers’ monthly service fees as it has under contracts for the first-generation iPhone.
Jobs said Apple waited to improve the iPhone for use on the faster network because the chips available when the iPhone first came out sapped too much battery life and were too bulky to fit the iPhone’s slim design.
The addition of global-positioning technology improves the iPhone’s accuracy in locating users. Current versions use a combination of cell-phone towers and Wi-Fi locations to help users figure out where they are.
The 1.73 million iPhones Apple sold in the first three month this year gave it a 5.3 percent share of the worldwide smart-phone market, according to research firm Gartner. Apple has been adding overseas markets gradually with carrier deals.

Here’s one of my favorite chart patterns
Head and Shoulders Formations
One of the oldest and most reliable of all chart formations is the Head and Shoulders Formation. This formation takes place usually after a trend has been established and in place for some time. It can in rarer instances take place in a continuation pattern and still be effective. The two formations we are going to look at today are a Head and Shoulders Top (HAST) and a Head and Shoulders Base (HASB). Both of these formations have a high degree of accuracy and usually portend a major change in direction for a market.
A normal Head and Shoulders Top (HAST) or Head and Shoulders Base (HASB) has a right shoulder, a head, a left shoulder, and a neckline. More complicated formations have double heads or double shoulders and, in some rare instances, triple shoulders. Both a Head and Shoulders Top (HAST) and a Head and Shoulders Base (HASB) have a neckline, and a Head and Shoulders formation should only be considered completed when the neckline is broken.
Once the neckline is broken, it is possible that prices can set back and retest the neckline. It is perfectly normal and healthy for a market to do this. Care must be taken that the retest of the neckline does not exceed by too much the original neckline and thereby abort the formation.
As a general rule, if the market sets back through its neckline and violates the left shoulder formation, it should be viewed as invalidating the original buy or sell signal. In order to predict the extent of a move a measurement is taken from the top part of the head to the neckline. The Head and Shoulders Target Zone (HATSZ) is created when you add or subtract this distance from the neckline, depending on whether it’s a Head and Shoulders Top (HAST) or a Head and Shoulders Base (HASB).
See how many chart formations show up in MarketClub. This type of formation occurs in stocks, futures, forex, metals and mutual fund markets.
Every Success,
