Tuesday Swing Signals, Trend Leaders, Trend Busters and Gaps for Nov 24, 2009

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

Today we have the following:
  • 21 Swing Signals -- 13 BUY signals and 8 SELL Signals.
  • 270 Trend Leaders, all in strong up-trends according to Aroon, MACD and DMI. We have 142 stocks that are new additions to the list and 78 that fell off the previous list.
  • 27 Trend Busters of which 23 are BUY signals and 4 are SELL signals.
  • 194 Gap Signals -- stocks with upside or downside gaps or gaps that have been closed. 119 are bearish gaps and 75 are bullish gaps.
The view from Alert HQ --

Over the weekend I declared that caution was in order. Monday stocks rallied but Tuesday they fell back. In terms of the short-term action, neither new highs nor new lows were set. Markets continue to move sideways without any strong indication as to which direction is next.

Looking at the Trend Leaders list, though, the current state of the market is on display. Health care stocks and ETFs, gold miners, materials stocks and ETFs/ETNs covering everything from copper to cotton, grains to gold.

Though the market may be directionless, there are still some interesting selections on our lists. One example, taken from the Trend Busters list, is Ralcorp Holdings (RAH). This stock looks to be making a serious reversal to the upside. Our Gap Analysis list has Loral (LORL) which appears to be moving upward nicely on a  good-sized gap after bouncing off its 50-DMA.

Caution may be the word today but there are always some stocks that are in the process of making a move. Browse our Alert HQ stock lists and you're sure to find a few.

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 or Gap 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...
