Tuesday Swing Signals, Trend Leaders, Trend Busters and Gaps for Dec 1, 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:
  • 62 Swing Signals -- 59 BUY signals and 3 SELL Signals.
  • 231 Trend Leaders, all in strong up-trends according to Aroon, MACD and DMI. We have 70 stocks that are new additions to the list and 75 that fell off the previous list.
  • 46 Trend Busters of which 37 are BUY signals and 9 are SELL signals.
  • 202 Gap Signals -- stocks with upside or downside gaps or gaps that have been closed. 100 are bearish gaps and 102 are bullish gaps.
The view from Alert HQ --

Well, December sure got off to a good start and our signals reflect the improved tone.

When we get a surge in BUY signals on the Swing Trading Signals list, it often means we'll see further gains in the major averages. We got that surge today so I am optimistic that this will be a strong week for stocks.

Further confirmation of resurgent bullishness is there on the Trend Busters list, too. Here again we have a surge in BUY signals. Only one question, though: why so many Japan ETFs breaking above their trend lines today?

Today's signals are broad-based with most sectors represented, especially tech, healthcare, telecom, financials and energy. That's a good mix and I believe it provides a good base for further gains this week.

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.

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...
