Month End Tuesday - Swing Signals, Trend Busters and Trend Leaders for June 30, 2009

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

Today we have the following:
  • 53 Swing Signals -- 37 BUY signals and 13 SELL Signals plus 3 Strong BUYs.
  • 198 Trend Leaders, all in strong up-trends according to Aroon, MACD and DMI. We have 75 stocks that are new additions to the list and 23 that fell off the previous list.
  • 16 Trend Busters of which 9 are BUY signals and 7 are SELL signals.
The view from Alert HQ --

I have been vacationing the last few days so I will freely admit that I have not been following the little daily dramas taking place in the markets this week. What I can see from today's signals, however, confirms my suspicions as voiced in Saturday's post. At that time I said I thought I was beginning to see stocks begin to pull out of their recent swoon. The number of Trend Leaders has doubled since last week. Swing Signals continue to show BUY signals predominating. Things are quiet with our Trend Busters - they are few in number and more or less evenly split between BUY and SELL signals. So two out of three of today's lists have a bullish bias. I am suspecting that will continue. Keep in mind, though, this is a busy week for economic reports. As long the various employment reports, the ISM index and factory orders show some improvement, I think we will see the rally continue.

Using our signals --

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 or even a day trader, our Swing Signals may provide some good trading ideas.

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

Yes, there's a good sprinkling of tech stocks and tech ETFs but the distribution is pretty broad-based with a good number of different sectors represented, eve

Unlock Stock Market Profits - Key #1

This is the first in an ongoing series of articles where I discuss what I feel are keys to successful investing. It is based on a post that provides a summary of the ten keys that individual investors should use to identify profitable stock trades. ( Click here to read the original post ) There are two basic steps to investing. First, you need to find stocks that seem to have some potential. Then you have to determine whether these stocks are actually good investments. 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. 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
