Tuesday Swing Signals, Trend Busters and Trend Leaders for Sept 8, 2009

This post is announcing that Tuesday's Swing Signals, Trend Leaders and Trend Busters are now available at Alert HQ. All are based on daily data.

Today we have the following:
  • 158 Swing Signals -- 142 BUY signals and 10 SELL Signals plus 6 Strong BUYs.
  • 146 Trend Leaders, all in strong up-trends according to Aroon, MACD and DMI. We have 64 stocks that are new additions to the list and a mere 10 that fell off the previous list.
  • 21 Trend Busters of which 15 are BUY signals and 6 are SELL signals.
The view from Alert HQ --

Stocks registered losses last week but a strong finish caused our Swing Trading Signals to really perk up. So, though this market seems to have no particular reason to keep climbing, I wasn't surprised to see stocks gain again today.

Tuesday's signals continue the theme. Plenty of BUYs again on a long list of Swing Signals with very few SELL signals. The Trend Busters list has a similar look. The additions to the Trend Leaders list greatly exceed the number of stocks that fell off the list.

One sector we see showing vigor again is commodities. Our Swing Trading Signals are showing a lift in a good many commodity and energy stocks and ETFs so I would suggest taking a look at some of these guys right away.

So our signals seem to be reflecting continued strength. The NASDAQ hit a closing high today and I suspect we will see the same from the other major averages before the current move exhausts itself.

Using our signals --

If you're a momentum trader, the Trend Leaders list is a good place to go shopping. If you practice technical analysis, check out the Trend Busters. And if you are a short-term trader or even a day trader, our Swing Signals may provide some good trading ideas.

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. As individual investors, we will never be the first to know; however, unusual activity can be an early sign that allows us to follow the Wall Street professional
