Swing Signals and Trend Busters for April 24, 2009

This post is to announce that our weekend batch of new swing trading signals is available at the TradeRadar Alert HQ Swing Signals page.

Our system looks for those stocks and ETFs that have exceeded their upper or lower Bollinger Bands and then have moved back inside the Bollinger Band envelope by a certain amount. Our interpretation is that there is a reversal underway and a short-term trading opportunity has presented itself.

Today we have a total of 68 swing trading signals or which 43 are BUYs and 25 are SELLs.

Trend Busters, too --

We have also posted our weekend list of Trend Busters. These are stocks or ETFs who are breaking out above downward sloping trend lines or are breaking down below upward sloping trend lines.

We have 371 Trend Buster signals based on daily data of which 31 are BUY signals and the great majority are SELL signals.

We also have 940 Trend Buster signals based on weekly data. In this case, things are reversed: 894 of them are BUY signals.

To see today's lists you can check out the TradeRadar Swing Signals page. All 68 stocks are listed, plus we provide a free download in the form of a CSV text file which can be easily opened in Excel or any text editor. In addition to the signal and the stock symbol, we also provide some basic fundamental data to help you select the stocks that are of most interest to you.

On the Trend Busters page we list all the signals based on daily data. You can also download all the signals based on either daily or weekly data.

Brazil - in a bubble or on a roll?

A couple of years ago, no one recognized the real estate bubble even though it was under everyone's nose. Now, analysts and bloggers are seeing bubbles everywhere they look. One of them, they say is in Brazil whose Bovespa stock market index has doubled in the last 12 months. Does the bubble accusation hold water? I don't think so and here are 7 reasons why Brazil is by no means a bubble economy: Exports have held up over the past year thanks to demand from China for Brazil's soya exports and iron ore. This was helped by the the Brazilian government's drive to improve trade links with Asia and Africa. Export diversification, spurred by a more active trade policy and increased focus on "south-south" trade under current president Lula, helped mitigate the decline in demand from OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) countries A "sensible" economic framework has been in place since the 1990's. This has included inflation

Unlock Stock Market Profits - Key #1

This is the first in an ongoing series of articles where I discuss what I feel are keys to successful investing. It is based on a post that provides a summary of the ten keys that individual investors should use to identify profitable stock trades. ( Click here to read the original post ) There are two basic steps to investing. First, you need to find stocks that seem to have some potential. Then you have to determine whether these stocks are actually good investments. There are many stocks that at first glance look interesting, but further research reveals that there are too many negatives to warrant taking a position. This first post in the series starts at the beginning: getting good investment ideas. Key #1: If something special is happening to a stock, it will be reflected in some kind of unusual activity in the markets.
