  • Based on daily data, we have 6 Alert HQ BUY signals and 237 SELL signals
  • Based on weekly data, we have 2 Alert HQ BUY signal and 35 SELL signals
  • We have 201 Bollinger Band Breakouts based on daily data and 120 Breakouts based on weekly data.
  • We have 796 Cash Flow Kings
  • 43 Swing Signals -- 9 BUY signals and 34 SELL Signals
  • 292 Trend Leaders, all in strong up-trends according to Aroon, MACD and DMI. We have 10 stocks that are new additions to the list and 80 that fell off the previous list.
  • 130 Trend Busters based on daily data of which 28 are BUY signals. We also have 92 Trend Busters based on weekly data.
  • 141 Gap Signals -- stocks with upside or downside gaps or gaps that have been closed. We also have 58 Gap Signals based on weekly data.
The view from Alert HQ --

Well, the emphasis this weekend is on SELL signals. And no wonder. Major averages fell between 3% and 4%. No sectors were spared as everything went down. The only hopeful sign is that small-caps, as personified by the Russell 2000, performed better than other market segments. That is probably because they are less exposed to China (signs of tightening of lending in china caused emerging market stocks to sell off) and they are less exposed to tough rules to reign in large banks that were proposed by Obama this week.

Our Alert HQ signals are very negative today. They are so negative that a contrarian would say a rally is due. Be that as it may, for now we have a portrait of a market in trouble. As you may remember, we scan roughly 7000 stocks and ETFs to identify our BUY and SELL signals. Over 1000 stocks have fallen below their 50-DMA compared to last week. About 1700 have fallen below their 20-DMA this week so that nearly 2/3 of all stocks are now below their 20-DMA. I suspect lots of stops have been hit.

So, we have a falling market despite mostly good earnings reports. That seems to be what is driving what BUY signals we are able to offer this weekend. For example, Digi International (DGII) joined our Trend Leaders list based on a nice earnings beat. On the other hand, Google (GOOG) also beat handily and the stock fell. Those stocks that bucked the trend this week and managed to show gains deserve a look. Check them out now at Alert HQ!

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...
