Terrible Tuesday - Swing Signals, Trend Busters and Trend Leaders for July 7, 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:
  • 35 Swing Signals -- 17 BUY signals and 16 SELL Signals plus 2 Strong BUYs.
  • 98 Trend Leaders, all in strong up-trends according to Aroon, MACD and DMI. We have 22 stocks that are new additions to the list and 120 that fell off the previous list.
  • 40 Trend Busters of which only 9 are BUY signals and 31 are SELL signals.
After last week's sell-off, a terrible Tuesday leaves stocks broadly lower --

Well, today resulted in another shrunken list of Trend Leaders. On the weekend we had 157 stocks and ETFs on the list; after today we're down to 98. Whereas a few weeks ago there were around a thousand, lately we are bouncing around in the one to two hundred range.

Similarly, our Trend Busters list reflects similar weakness as the breakouts to the downside outnumber the breakouts to the upside by roughly three to one.

Our Swing Signals list is about evenly divided between BUY signals and SELL signals but the list is none too long. These last few days there has been no where to hide.

With the trends in the major market averages pointing downward now, it's no surprise that our BUY signals are missing in action. As we approach significant support levels, another couple of bad days and investors might really start running for the exits. My recommendation is that you have your stops in place and maybe a couple of short plays in mind. This could be a time when some of our SELL signals will come in handy. We shall see...

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

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
