Free stock alerts, Trend Leaders, Bollinger Band Breakouts and Cash Flow Kings for March 20, 2009

This post is to announce that the latest list of free stock alerts is up and available at Alert HQ. Each week we scan about 7400 stocks and ETFs looking for fresh BUY and SELL signals. We apply a combination of proprietary and standard technical analysis techniques to identify those stocks that are beginning to move. Our goal is to identify stocks or ETFs that are undergoing reversals, either to the upside or to the downside.

In addition to alerts, we also have our lists of Trend Leaders, a collection of stocks in strong up-trends, Cash Flow Kings whose free cash flow yield is 25% or greater and Bollinger Band Breakouts, stocks or ETFs that have moved at least 1% above their upper Bollinger Band or at least 1% below their lower Bollinger Band. These lists are all available on the Trend Leaders page.

Here is what we have this week --

After big gains a week ago, stocks eased off this week but still managed to show a modest increase over the previous week's prices. Despite the two down days at the end of the week, the trending indicators we apply in our Alert HQ scan process is registering positive movement in more and more stocks. As a result, our BUY list based on daily data has nearly quadrupled over the previous week. A note of warning, however - we are also seeing a big increase in the number of stocks at the top of their Bollinger Bands. Is a pullback in store? Will it be healthy profit-taking followed by a continuation of the recently instituted up-trend? Time will tell.

Here is the breakdown for this week:
  • based on daily data, we have 165 Alert HQ BUY signals and only 1 SELL signal.
  • based on weekly data, we have 13 Alert HQ BUY signals and 6 SELL signals.
  • based on daily data, we have 315 Trend Leaders, almost three times the number from last week.
  • based on daily data, we have 279 Bollinger Band Breakouts. We also have 215 Breakouts based on weekly data.
  • finally, we have 950 Cash Flow Kings.

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. 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 ...

Time to be conservative with your 401K

Most of the posts I and other financial bloggers write are typically focused on individual stocks or ETFs and managing active portfolios. For those folks who are more conservative investors, those whose main investment vehicle is a 401K, for example, the techniques for portfolio management might be a little different. 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? My feeling is that investors making regular contributions are being handed a present by the markets. Every week the market goes down, these investors are lowering their average cost. When markets reco...
