How a 3-in-1 chart formation in cotton foresaw the January selloff
By Nico Isaac

Short-Term Interest Rates Create Long-Term Problems / InvestorEducation / US Interest Rates
By: Andy_Sutton
One of the first orders of business that goes on during most initial meetings with a mainstream financial advisor is an inventory of assets, income, and other particulars. What generally follows next is series of pie charts that lumps you into one of three or four categories along with ‘projections’ of your future wealth if you’ll only contribute $3,000/year to that IRA for two decades. We’ve all heard the spiel. By contributing a mere pittance, you too can retire to millionaire acres in just 30 years. While there have been many candidates for financial crime of the century (even though we’re only 10 years in), this one has to rank right up there.

How to Spot the Big Stock and Commodity Market Trends / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: INO
Every trader and investor I know would love to buy at the bottom and sell at the top. The reality is that this is not a winning solution, nor is it possible to do this on a consistent basis.
What we look for at MarketClub is to catch the sweet spot of the trend. The sweet spot is the 70% to 80% that's in the middle of a trend.

Keeping Your Options Open (and Valuing Them) / InvestorEducation / Options & Warrants
By: Andy_Sutton
It is often said that there is nothing new under the sun. Truly, economic events of late have demonstrated this in spades. There is little that is new, just different flavors of the same. So, in the absence of anything substantially new to add to the collection of events this week, I am going to take an opportunity to return to some of the analytical topics that I’ve had but a few precious chances to deal with over the past three and a half years. The last foray dealt with some hedging strategies involving options and inverse funds. This week I’m going to dig deeper into the options side of hedging and look at some of the various pricing models available for consideration. Then we’ll take the models for a spin and create ourselves a hypothetical situation and see how things play out.

Characteristics of an Effective Trading System / InvestorEducation / Trading Systems
By: Jeff_Neal
Traders realize that the process of trading can be stressful and that there are human emotions such as greed, fear or hope that influence their decisions, leading them to commit mistakes. This is where a mechanical trading system can be so important. The very nature of system trading mandates taking every single trade generated by the system, which greatly helps to keep these dangerous emotions at bay. Mechanical systems do not have emotions, which can be a big advantage to the trader.

Trader Fatigue / InvestorEducation / Trader Psychology
By: Dr_Janice_Dorn
Having trouble sleeping these days? You aren’t alone. The National Sleep Foundation’s 2009 study shows that some 30% of the U.S. population reports sleep disturbances. These include challenges with falling asleep, staying asleep or early-morning wakening with inability to get back to sleep. Last year, there were nearly 57,000,000 prescriptions written for sleep meds. That’s 57 million. In his book “Sleep Thieves,” Dr. Stanley Coren says that lack of sleep is causing us to be “clumsy, stupid, unhappy and dead.” Evidence is mounting that the tragic death of Michael Jackson was related to his inability to sleep without powerful sedative drugs.
