Weekend Winners and Losers - Alert HQ BUY and SELL signals for July 10, 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 --

Another bad week in the markets: losses in the major averages ranged from 1.6% to over 3%. Economic reports were mixed but pretty much all the news was greeted with a negative reaction. Sentiment has shifted from "less bad" to "less good" despite weekly jobless claims coming in less than expected (finally under 600K) and exports growing more than expected (a positive for U.S. manufacturing). The negative tone is fully reflected in our Alert HQ signals. The Trend Leaders list continues to wilt, SELL signals greatly outnumber BUY signals and our Trend Busters are mostly breaking in a downward direction. Only our Swing Signals show any evidence of a bounce. Will they prevail?

Here is the detailed breakdown for Alert HQ for this weekend:
  • Based on daily data, we have 1 Alert HQ BUY signal and 29 SELL signals
  • Based on weekly data, we have 3 Alert HQ BUY signals and 48 SELL signals
  • Based on daily data, we have 52 Trend Leaders. 12 new stocks joined the list since Thursday and 16 fell off the list since Thursday.

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...
