Alert HQ - first list of stock picks based on weekly data

As many readers may know, I have been running a scan of about 7200 stocks each weekend looking for TradeRadar BUY and SELL signals based on daily data. I have been making these signals available on the Alert HQ page of this site.

Today, I ran the first scan based on weekly data. As this is still in a beta stage of development, i.e., working but with potential for further improvement, I thought I would make this first list available for free. Here goes.

This first table is a list of all BUY signals:

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.

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?
