Tuesday Swing Signals for April 14, 2009

This is to announce a new set of Swing Trading Signals is available on the Swing Signals page at Alert HQ.

Last week ended on an up note and we had lots of BUY signals. So far this week, stocks have not been performing so well; therefore, it seemed like a good idea to run our Alert HQ process again and see what kind of Swing Signals we generate now.

We have a total of 54 signals today, this time 44 SELL signals and only 10 BUY signals.

It's interesting to see two ProShares ETFs on the list. The Short Financials (SEF) is generating a BUY signal and the Ultra Real Estate (URE) is generating a SELL signal. Is this a sign that the market is about to turn around? We shall see...

My intention is to run the Swing Signals screen every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Bear with me if I miss a day here and there. Eventually everything will be automated from start to finish but currently there is still some manual effort required.

In the meantime, check out our newest batch of Swing Trading Signals at Alert HQ and stay tuned for Thursday's list.

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...
