Alert HQ signals for Tuesday, Jan 19, 2010





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:
  • 34 Swing Signals -- 21 BUY signals and 13 SELL Signals.
  • 541 Trend Leaders, all in strong up-trends according to Aroon, MACD and DMI. We have 92 stocks that are new additions to the list and 200 that fell off the previous list.
  • 19 Trend Busters of which 13 are BUY signals and 6 are SELL signals.
  • 191 Gap Signals -- stocks with upside or downside gaps or gaps that have been closed. 86 are bearish gaps and 105 are bullish gaps.
The view from Alert HQ --

Stocks rebounded today after Friday's sell-off and some new highs were attained, just barely. Essentially though, despite the gyrations, major averages have been more or less in a range for the last week or so.

What is encouraging, however, is seeing a mild resurgence of bullishness in our Alert HQ signals. The number of signals is not high but at least we are seeing more BUY signals than SELL signals again. We also see more stocks and ETFs being added to the Trend Leaders list than we see falling off the list.

Things are always crazy during earnings season but it's still worth while to keep an eye on the BUY signals. If this market starts breaking out again, you'll want to have a few good candidates on your watch list.

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

( Click here to read the original post ) There are two basic steps to investing. First, you need to find stocks that seem to have some potential. Then you have to determine whether these stocks are actually good investments. There are many stocks that at first glance look interesting, but further research reveals that there are too many negatives to warrant taking a position. This first post in the series starts at the beginning: getting good investment ideas. Key #1: If something special is happening to a stock, it will be reflected in some kind of unusual activity in the markets. As individual investors, we will never be the first to know; however, unusual activity can be an early sign that allows us to follow the Wall Street professional
