TradeRadar Bottom-fishing

It is getting about that time when we announce the Trade Radar Pick o' the Month. I haven't made my mind up yet but I wanted to list a few stocks that have developed promising patterns but haven't quite generated unambiguous BUY signals. The current list is as follows:

National Interstate (NATL) - provides insurance for the transportation industry (today's close: $26.70)

Diodes Inc (DIOD) - semiconductor manufacturer (today's close: $36.27)

Evergreen Energy (EEE) - provides lower emission fuel to coal-fired utilities and industries (today's close: $10.48)

Alkermes Inc (ALKS) - a pharmaceutical company with an alcoholism treatment (today's close: $15.04)

Abaxis (ABAX) - makes easy-to-use blood test kits for humans and animals (today's close: $21.80)

All of these stocks have been trending downward for the last few months, some more steeply than others, but have recently announced better earnings and/or have garnered analyst upgrades. I am definitely bottom-fishing here, looking to catch one at an inflection point. In the case of ABAX, we may already be too late as it has moved from a low of $17 to almost $22 in just a few days. Is that the start of a strong up-trend? We'll need to dig into the fundamentals in order to make a decision on that. Some of the others mentioned, however, seem to be more of a technical play with potential upside still available.

Check them out and see what you think. Try running them through the StockConsultant.com or AmericanBulls.com tools located in the left side-bar. Comment if you feel one stands out above above the rest.

Business Intelligence consolidation - who's next?

We have seen a consolidation wave begin in the Business Intelligence space. IBM just bought Cognos and Oracle recently bought Hyperion. SAP just announced they are buying Business Objects after barely having time to digest their recent acquisition of Pilot Software. There are three major database vendors at this time: IBM with their DB2 product, Oracle with their flagship Oracle database and Microsoft with their SQL Server database. IBM and Oracle now have premier, industrial-strength data analysis and reporting products in their product portfolios that complement their core database products. Microsoft has what, Excel? Actually, Microsoft, like IBM and Oracle, has a suite of proprietary tools that do happen to integrate very well with Excel and SQL Server. Still, IT departments are not deploying the Microsoft tools for heavy-duty corporate use. Microsoft is unique among the big three by their lack of a premier reporting product. It seems safe to assume that Microsoft will be the next...
