Thursday Trend Busters, Swing Signals and Trend Leaders for May 14, 2009

This is a quick post to announce that Thursday's Trend Leaders, Swing Signals and Trend Busters are now available at Alert HQ. All are based on daily data.

Today we have the following:

80 Swing Signals -- 43 BUY signals and 37 SELL Signals
435 Trend Leaders, all in strong up-trends according to Aroon, MACD and DMI
67 Trend Busters of which 3 are BUY signals and 64 are SELL signals

Today the market showed good gains but the previous few days were definitely weak. This is causing inconsistency in our numbers. We have a big jump in SELL signals in our Trend Busters list but our Swing Signals list, which is more short-term oriented, shows the BUY signals outnumbering the SELL signals. Looking a little more long term due to the moving average filtering involved, our list of Trend Leaders has decreased in size considerably since Tuesday.

Remember, if you're a momentum trader, the Trend Leaders list is a good place to go shopping. If you practice technical analysis, check out the Trend Busters. And if you are a short-term trader, our Swing Signals may provide some good trading ideas.

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

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.
