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.

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. As individual investors, we will never be the first to know; however, unusual activity can be an early sign that allows us to follow the Wall Street professional

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

The third post described how to use lists of new highs and new lows. This post will focus on identifying social or business trends in order to find investing ideas.
