So Busy Lately

For those of you who read this blog to find investment ideas and commentary, I would like to apologize for my lack of posting lately.

Have you noticed the underlined stock symbols in my posts lately? I have been working hard to develop the software used to create the pop-up menus you see when you hover over these highlighted stock symbols.

I have extended the capabilities to provide targeted sets of links for technology and general news. I am hoping other bloggers will find my little pop-up menu useful. You can read about it on the OpenLinkz.com website where I explain what it is and how to use it.

As soon as I get OpenLinkz launched properly, I will be accelerating my posting on this site and investigating improvements to the TradeRadar software. Stay tuned!

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.

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.
