Alert HQ signals for Thursday, Jan 7, 2010



This post is announcing that Thursday'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:
  • 25 Swing Signals -- 13 BUY signals and 12 SELL Signals.
  • 631 Trend Leaders, all in strong up-trends according to Aroon, MACD and DMI. We have 191 stocks that are new additions to the list and 145 that fell off the previous list.
  • 43 Trend Busters of which 36 are BUY signals and 7 are SELL signals.
  • 187 Gap Signals -- stocks with upside or downside gaps or gaps that have been closed. 65 are bearish gaps and 122 are bullish gaps.
The view from Alert HQ --

Another day of markets muddling through. The NASDAQ came up with another minor loss while the Dow and the S&P 500 managed minor gains. With this kind of inconclusive behavior I'm  surprised to see such a bullish tone to our Alert HQ signals today.

Though our Swing Trading Signals are again noncommittal, nearly evenly split between BUY signals and SELL signals, the other signals are still leaning bullish. The Trend Leaders list has continued growing, including a total of 631 stocks and ETFs today, the highest it's been in weeks. The Trend Busters list continues to feature many more BUY signals than SELL signals and the Gap Analysis list shows more bullish gaps than bearish gaps,

Though major market averages seem to be struggling a bit, the broad market continues to produce stocks with BUY signals. As long as that continues, I can't see markets falling in a worrisome way. So take a look at our BUY signals, you're bound to find a few that suit your investment objectives.

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...
