Weekend Winners and Losers - Alert HQ BUY and SELL signals for May 29, 2009

The latest list of free stock alerts is up and available at Alert HQ.

Each week we scan about 7300 stocks and ETFs, checking fundamentals, performing technical analysis and looking for fresh BUY and SELL signals. Out of this process we generate the following lists:
  • Alert HQ stock alerts - based on a combination of proprietary and standard technical analysis techniques, we identify stocks or ETFs that are undergoing reversals, either to the upside or to the downside
  • Trend Leaders - a collection of stocks in strong up-trends
  • Cash Flow Kings whose free cash flow yield is 25% or greater
  • 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
  • Swing Signals - stocks that have bounced off a higher or lower Bollinger Band
  • Trend Busters - stocks or ETFs that have violated a current trend.
This week's results --

After a couple of disappointing weeks, stocks got their mojo back and, with the help of a last minute rally on Friday afternoon, major averages managed to post decent gains. With stocks stuck in what looks like a trading range for the last month now, we are seeing fewer Alerts and fewer Trendbusters in the daily data. Interestingly, the weekly data remains quite robust across the board. This trading range is also causing us to get plenty of rotation on and off the TrendLeaders list so be sure to check who is on and who is off this week.

Here is the detailed breakdown for Alert HQ for this weekend:
  • based on daily data, we have 2 Alert HQ BUY signals and 12 SELL signals
  • based on weekly data, we have 74 Alert HQ BUY signals and 4 SELL signals
  • based on daily data, we have 568 Trend Leaders
  • based on daily data, we have 196 Bollinger Band Breakouts but we also have 451 Breakouts based on weekly data.
  • we have 872 Cash Flow Kings
  • based on daily data we have 62 Swing Signals of which 46 are BUY signals and 16 are SELL signals, no Strong BUY or Strong SELL signals today
  • finally, we have Trend Busters with 16 signals based on daily data and 60 based on weekly data

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 ...

Time to be conservative with your 401K

Most of the posts I and other financial bloggers write are typically focused on individual stocks or ETFs and managing active portfolios. For those folks who are more conservative investors, those whose main investment vehicle is a 401K, for example, the techniques for portfolio management might be a little different. The news of stock markets falling and pundits predicting recession is disconcerting to professional investors as well as to those of us who are watching our balances in an IRA or 401K sag. What approach should the average 401K investor take? Let's assume that the investor is contributing on a regular basis to one of these retirement accounts. 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...
