Alert HQ for the week ending April 4, 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 a huge rally and, despite day after day of bad economic news, stocks managed to hold almost all their gains. The major averages are now sitting on top of their 50-day moving averages and the TradeRadar market statistics reflect quite a bit of broad-based strength.

As a result, this week we have a big alert list of 64 BUY signals and no SELL signals!

Some work was done on the TradeRadar software this week to improve the DMI calculations. I would like to refer purchasers of the alert list to StockCharts.com to look up some of the recommended stocks and view their charts. StockCharts.com provides the ability to add to the charts a visual indication of all the technical analysis calculations we do except the proprietary TradeRadar signal and trendlines. Note that the DMI is called "Wilder's DMI (ADX)". They also provide Aroon and Chaiken Money Flow chart overlays as well as moving averages. Note also that TradeRadar uses exponential moving averages which tend to be more responsive than simple moving averages.

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

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. Export diversification, spurred by a more active trade policy and increased focus on "south-south" trade under current president Lula, helped mitigate the decline in demand from OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) countries A "sensible" economic framework has been in place since the 1990's. 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.

( Click here to read the original post ) There are two basic steps to investing. First, you need to find stocks that seem to have some potential. 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.
