The view from Alert HQ --

Markets exhibited holiday cheer this week with the S&P 500 making a new high and the NASDAQ looking like it's really breaking out. Even a laggard like the Russell 2000 has surged to a new high.

The improved tone is quite apparent in our Alert HQ signals.

Over the course of the last couple of weeks, the Trend Leaders list has gone from barely 300 stocks and ETFs to 551 this week. There is a nice proportion on tech on the list of most recent additions but, in general, many sectors are represented and that suggests the gains are broadbased.

The Alert HQ BUY signals are also increasing in number while on the Swing Signals and Trend Busters lists, BUY signals strongly outnumber SELL signals.

All in all, things are looking pretty bullish at this point. I suspect there is still room for stocks to run. In addition to tech, I see a good number of China stocks and ETFs showing up with BUY signals. Healthcare and pharmaceuticals continue to outperform and, in a vote for the economy, it appears that steel stocks are reasserting themselves.

As you can see, with so many sectors looking good, Alert HQ has something for everyone. Take a look today!

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...
