Alert HQ for the week ending Feb 29, 2008

This post is to announce that the latest list of stock alerts is up and available at Alert HQ.

It was an awful week on Wall Street with a big sell-off on Friday. As can be expected, this made it difficult for last week's alerts to hang on to profits and it also made it difficult to unearth good BUY signals for this week's alerts. This week our list contains only 10 BUY signals, one less than last week.

To my great surprise, this week we have absolutely no SELL signals at all. With the downdraft in the market I had expected to see a hefty list of SELL signals. In digging through the data, however, it appears that many of the stocks currently in the SELL zone, and there are plenty of them out there, generated the initial SELL signal weeks or months ago. Many other stocks are stuck in consolidation patterns with no clear trend apparent.

Later this weekend I will be writing another post to describe my analysis of the market statistics the Alert HQ software has generated and to discuss the performance of some of the picks from past weeks.

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...
