Alert HQ for the week ending April 11,2008

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

The week on Wall Street saw the markets begin to crumble after strong gains the previous week. Negative earnings surprises from Alcoa (AA) and General Electric (GE) accelerated the losses, especially on Friday.

The major averages closed the week just below their 50-day moving averages and the TradeRadar market statistics reflect a mixed picture now as some of the recent broad-based strength has weakened.

As a result, this week we have a more modest alert list of 19 BUY signals and 2 SELL signals.

Improvements made to the TradeRadar software this week provide more detailed information on the DMI determination for each stock on the alert list. My recent post "More tips for TradeRadar users" discussed using the indicators provided in the alert lists and recommended using StockCharts.com to view the indicators on a chart. StockCharts.com also provides great explanations of these indicators and how to use charts, in general. Check out their Chart School link at the top of their pages.

As usual, later this weekend I will be writing another post to describe my analysis of the market statistics the Alert HQ software has generated.

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...
