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.

Business Intelligence consolidation - who's next?

We have seen a consolidation wave begin in the Business Intelligence space. IBM just bought Cognos and Oracle recently bought Hyperion. SAP just announced they are buying Business Objects after barely having time to digest their recent acquisition of Pilot Software. There are three major database vendors at this time: IBM with their DB2 product, Oracle with their flagship Oracle database and Microsoft with their SQL Server database. IBM and Oracle now have premier, industrial-strength data analysis and reporting products in their product portfolios that complement their core database products. Microsoft has what, Excel? Actually, Microsoft, like IBM and Oracle, has a suite of proprietary tools that do happen to integrate very well with Excel and SQL Server. Still, IT departments are not deploying the Microsoft tools for heavy-duty corporate use. Microsoft is unique among the big three by their lack of a premier reporting product. It seems safe to assume that Microsoft will be the next...
