Contest Winners…Trillionaires…and the smartest men in the universe!
Congratulations to our contest winners in their close predictions of the DJI and DX closing positions ending QE2 on June 30th, 2011.
Here is a little bit about our winners:
Andrew G.from PA- Winning guess for the DX: 74.377
We asked Andrew to tell us a little bit about himself and this is what he shared:
“I am a happily married 55 year old. We have two sons, one 24 and the other 22. Both graduated recently from UPenn, My oldest son is a bio-engineer, working at a medical device company, the younger one a Wharton graduate working in the financial field. I consider myself a long time student of the market and primarily, a long term investor. Having said that, over the last few years, I have concentrated my efforts on the charts, and technicals, believing that they play an exponentially larger role in the shorter term direction market. That it why I religiously follow the Market Club. It is one of the best top-grade tools for traders and helps to provide great insight as to where we go from here. It has been a great help with my shorter term trading strategies, as I continue to seek more consistency with both intraday and swing trading.”
Our other winner is:
John Hoffman from FL- Winning guess for the DJI: 12,432.39
Here is what John told us about himself:
“I am semi-retired and up until about two years ago I was helping a friend manage the administrative duties of his hedge fund (now closed). I am currently trading in my own accounts.”
All of us here at MarketClub would like to thank everyone for their participation in this fun-spirited contest…hopefully we can get another one together soon!
Congratulations again John and Andrew, enjoy your new Wi-Fi tablets!
Best,
The MarketClub Team

December Drawing Update
You have until the first stroke of 2009 to answer the December MarketClub Trader’s Blog question, “Will the 1st trading day of 2009 be controlled by the bears or by the bulls?” So far the results have shocked me, as I didn’t think the results would be so even. So far 80 people have said bears, 96 said bulls, and well 18 people have either said that it’s too close to call or they danced around an answer… so if you haven’t answered already, what do you think?
If you haven’t already entered, you can click leave a comment for this post giving your answer. It just takes just a 
second, and only 5 key strokes… either B E A R S or B U L L S.
Good luck and I will share the winner with you on Monday the 5th. I hope 2009 is your best year both financially and personally.
Best,
Lindsay Thompson

Trader’s Blog Contest For November
Isn’t it hard to sit back and let someone else manage your money? If you are going take a loss wouldn’t you rather it be your fault opposed to your broker?
Have you had an experience where you were talked into a overpriced mutual fund, paid an over inflated commission fee or been caught in a “churning cycle” where your broker is cashing in commission on pointless trades? What was your worst experience with a money manager or full service broker? I’m sure we have plenty of horror stories, so why not vent, share and win.
So the question is…
“What is your worst broker experience?”
Prize
Winner will receive 6 workshops on trader psychology from our authors in INO TV. These MP3s and digital PDF workbooks will be mailed to you courtesy of INO TV.

Trader’s Blog Contest For October
There is no one technical analysis indicator that will win 100% of the time. There is no holy grail of charting… and if there is, then someone is keeping one hell of a secret. However, technical analysis techniques can help you make educated decisions, putting the odds on your side that you are on the favorable direction of a move.
So the question is…
“Besides MarketClub’s ‘Trade Triangles’, what is your favorite technical analysis indicator?”
Prize
Winner will receive 6 workshops on technical analysis from our authors in INO TV. These MP3s and digital PDF workbooks will be mailed to you courtesy of INO TV.

Comment on this post telling us what your favorite technical analysis study is and why. There are no wrong answers.
We want to you to share your thoughts and stories with our other visitors. Here are some responses from in the office to get you started:
Bob F. : I’m a fan of the MACD. I like to backtest various exponential moving average and signal settings for different markets.
Melissa P. : Average True Range is one of my favorites. I don’t use this indicator for any other reason that to see activity. I can quickly see how much a stock has been moving throughout the day and leave the stagnant stocks alone.
Kenny S. : I have been trying to study up on the concepts regarding standard deviation. I’m still learning about Bollinger bands, but it’s something that is very interesting thus far.
Lindsay T. : The MACD is one of my favorites too. I use the MACD crosses to confirm the “Trade Triangle” signals. When the market is moving sideways, I don’t always follow each and every “Trade Triangle” unless I have a confirming back up.

Trader’s Blog First Ever CONTEST!
We’ve all been there….looking at a chart a year later and saying to ourselves “WHY, OH WHY, didn’t I just pull the trigger!?!?!” The chart shows us the sad truth that if only we would have gotten long, we would have had 500% returns, an island in Fiji, and 6 cars!
But we didn’t…
We here at The Trader’s Blog, would like to know what trade would have been your best…if only you would have taken it? Did you see something special in Google at 100.00 in 2004? Was Spot Gold primed at 256 in 2001? What made you stay out of Wheat around the 500.00 mark? Whatever your story we want to hear about it!
We’ll be giving away an Apple iTouch!
How you enter:
Comment today and tell us what that trade would have been…and what you would have bought with the returns!! Here are some trades that we in the office wished we would have done:
Bob F. “I wish I would have gotten long USO February of 2007, when Crude just started to move!”
Melissa P. “Playing the AMEX_SKF which is an ultra short financial ETF around April when Bear’s crashed.”
Lindsay T. “Shorted NASDAQ_TRMP on our last monthly Trade Triangle at 16.51 in January of this year…that would have been huge!”

Here are the details:
1. This contest open for 2 WEEKS!
2. Winner will be picked randomly by software to remove human errors.
3. One entry per person!
4. Winner will be contacted via email.
