Free stock alerts, Trend Leaders, Bollinger Band Breakouts and Cash Flow Kings for March 27, 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 3% above their upper Bollinger Band or at least 3% below their lower Bollinger Band. These lists are all available at Alert HQ.

Note that our navigation has changed, so if you have the old pages bookmarked, you will need to update them. Many of the new pages now present the data in tabular form so you can browse the lists before downloading.

Here is what we have this week --

Despite a weak Friday, major averages still added over 6% this week. Investors welcomed the latest Treasury plan to remove toxic assets from bank balance sheets and that positive sentiment carried stocks most of the week, even overcoming the 6.3% decline in GDP and the usual 650,000 jobless claims. There was debate over whether housing is improving as seasonal factors and plunging prices are beginning to generate a few purchases here and there. There was a decent new orders number in the Durable Goods report. It was enough for investors to consider the week's reports as better than expected. And so the rally continued further into short-term over-bought territory. This had the salutary effect of juicing many indicators that are slowed down by moving averages to finally generate buy signals; hence, the positive tone of our signals this week.

Here is the breakdown:
  • based on daily data, we have 225 Alert HQ BUY signals and only 3 SELL signals.
  • based on weekly data, we have 61 Alert HQ BUY signals, a nice jump from last week, and 5 SELL signals.
  • based on daily data, we have 914 Trend Leaders, almost three times the number from last week.
  • based on daily data, we have 165 Bollinger Band Breakouts using the new requirement to exceed the band by 3%. We also have 217 Breakouts based on weekly data.
  • finally, we have 933 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

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. It is based on a post that provides a summary of the ten keys that individual investors should use to identify profitable stock trades. ( 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.
