TradeRadar Software Updated

The TradeRadar software has been updated and is available for free download. The newest feature allows the user to directly retrieve historical prices from Yahoo from within the TradeRadar software. No more manual downloading and loading of CSV files; it all works automatically as long as you have an Internet connection. Click the button and you are immediately able to begin using the charting functions to generate buy/sell signals.

Further refinements have been made when loading historical price data from the Yahoo or MSN Money sites. Existing data is now over-written if date ranges overlap; ie, errors will no longer be displayed if a new file contains prices for dates that are already in the TradeRadar database.

In addition, the TradeRadar Help file has been improved. The new version is bundled with the TradeRadar software download and is also available for viewing from both the Download page and the Features page.

This has included inflation ...

Time to be conservative with your 401K

Most of the posts I and other financial bloggers write are typically focused on individual stocks or ETFs and managing active portfolios. For those folks who are more conservative investors, those whose main investment vehicle is a 401K, for example, the techniques for portfolio management might be a little different. The news of stock markets falling and pundits predicting recession is disconcerting to professional investors as well as to those of us who are watching our balances in an IRA or 401K sag. What approach should the average 401K investor take? Let's assume that the investor is contributing on a regular basis to one of these retirement accounts. There are two questions that the investor needs to ask: 1. Should I stop putting the regular contribution into stocks?
