Weekend Winners and Losers - Alert HQ BUY and SELL signals for January 22, 2010

This is the usual quick post announcing that the weekend's stock signals are now available at Alert HQ. This is the first one for 2010.

Today we have the following stock picks and signals:
  • 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!

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

Unlock Stock Market Profits - Key #1

This is the first in an ongoing series of articles where I discuss what I feel are keys to successful investing. It is based on a post that provides a summary of the ten keys that individual investors should use to identify profitable stock trades. ( 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
