The view from Alert HQ --

We've now had two weeks of bullish action since the "near-correction" bottomed February 5th. As a result, Alert HQ signals continue steadfastly bullish.

While the fastest moving signals suggest a pause, the slower moving signals continue to show gathering strength. For example, the the fast moving Swing Signals list is shrinking while the lagging Trend Leaders list is still expanding. Those signals which don't use any smoothing or moving averages, the Trend Busters and Gap Analysis signals, for instance, also show continued strength and a clear tilt toward bullishness with upside breakouts in the distinct majority.

With the market shrugging off the Fed's discount rate increase, the panic over Greece subsiding and the craziness of earnings season about at an end, this market is poised for further gains. We have lots of candidates for your watch lists available today. Check them out right now!

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.

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...
