The view from Alert HQ --

The S&P 500 and the Russell 2000 managed to outdo the NASDAQ this week, a turnaround from we had seen at the end of December. It is welcome to see the other averages catching up with the NASDAQ which was the first one to break out to higher levels last month. This week's solid gains, despite a disappointment in the Nonfarm Payrolls Report, kept the bullish tone intact in our Alert HQ signals.

In almost all our lists of signals and stock picks, BUY signals outnumber SELL signals. The lone holdout is the list of Alert HQ reversal signals based on weekly data. We also continue to see the list of Trend Leaders grow which shows more stocks are getting locked into solid up-trends.

All in all, it was a decent week in the markets and our signals do not yet show stocks to be severely over-bought. Browse our lists of free stock picks and see which stocks and ETFs are showing strength.

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

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.
