Grandma and McDonald’s were right and grandma was one heck of a trader!
Did you ever have your mom or grandmother tell you not to put all of your eggs in one basket?
Well it turns out they were right. Grandma, knew a great deal about the power of diversification and how it reduces risk both in business and in trading.
A new market, but the same indicator we’ve been using all week to conquer it
You only have to watch my earlier videos to see that it has performed very well this week in gold as well as the crude. In today’s short video I want to share an ETF that is setting up nicely and should be giving us a buy signal using the same strategy that we used in the earlier gold and crude oil videos.
This ETF which closely follows the Swiss Franc (symbol FXF) is one you may want to take a look at. As you may be aware, the Swiss Franc is independent of the euro zone and is a separate currency that is backed by the Swiss government.
Why ETFs are taking over the global markets
A recent article in the publication Barron’s pointed out one of the big success stories in 2010 has been the growth of the ETF market. This market is expected to close out the year around $1 trillion up from $794 billion at year-end 2009.
For quite some time now we at MarketClub have been big fans of ETFs for investors. There are several reasons for this, but one of the great reasons is the easy way it allows investors to diversify their holdings not only across different markets, but also across different countries. We utilize this particular strategy in 2 popular ETF portfolios that we have constructed for MarketClub members.
Another nice profit in this ETF
We have been trading the ETF FXE for some time now in MarketClub’s Perfect “R” Portfolio and today we exited our long position at $136.64, which produced a profit of $8.14 a share.
This market has performed very well for us and we have only had two major trend changes for the year so far. The FXE is an ETF that mimics the Euro versus the US Dollar, so there’s always plenty movement which equals opportunity in the market. That is one of the principal reasons why we chose to include this ETF in the Perfect “R” Portfolio. Read more

A Perfect Weekend for “The 52-week new highs on Friday rule”
We published this trading rule on our blog almost 8 months ago, February 10 to be exact. You can look it up if you wish. With gold making all time highs on Friday, it seems like the perfect candidate for this rule. Just remember, there are no guarantees in trading and you want gold to close at or near its highs for the day.
I learned this rule over 3 decades ago in the markets from a low-key trader named Bill. Using his special trading technique, Bill made millions and millions of dollars from his office. The best part is that this technique is still working more than 30 years after it was taught to me and why I insist on sharing it with as many traders as possible.
Bill didn’t even have a name for this killer trading technique and so I named it, “The 52-week new highs on Friday rule”. Read more
ALERT: RSX Monthly Trade Triangle Buy Signal
The Vectors Russia ETF (SYMBOL: RSX) flashed a monthly green ” Trade Triangle” signal at 33.08 today.
This ETF is part of MarketClub’s Global Strategy Portfolio.
Let the carnival begin
Here is a market that we like a lot more than the US market. We really like the way its acting and it looks set to take out the highs that were seen in December of 2009. If that is the case, then we could see this market make all-time highs pretty quickly. You definitely want to have this one on your radar screen.
In this new short video, I show you what I’m looking at and how we showcased this market last week when we did our last webinar. This webinar is set to be rebroadcast on Friday, September 24th at 5pm EST/9pm GMT. Read more
Dissecting MarketClub’s World Cup Portfolio
Filed under: World Cup Portfolio (Previously "World Commodity Portfolio")
Today we are going to take a look at MarketClub’s World Cup Portfolio (formerly World Commodity Portfolio) that has been tracking six markets for the past three years. I think it is fair to say that the last 36 months have presented one of the most challenging trading environments in recent memory.
So how do we do it?
I put together this very short video which is only 1 minute 45 seconds long and gives you all the information that you need to decide whether or not this approach is one that could work for you. Bear in mind that the World Cup Portfolio is a leveraged portfolio unlike our “Perfect Portfolio” which is not leveraged.
The video can be viewed right here.
Please give us your thoughts and comments on our blog. I think you will find this video very informative and educational.
All the best,
Adam Hewison
