Alert HQ signals for Thursday, March 18, 2010

This post is announcing that Thursday'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:
  • 18 Swing Signals -- 3 BUY signals and 15 SELL Signals.
  • 938 Trend Leaders, all in strong up-trends according to Aroon, MACD and DMI. We have 199 stocks that are new additions to the list and 165 that fell off the previous list.
  • 25 Trend Busters of which 12 are BUY signals and 13 are SELL signals.
  • 155 Gap Signals -- stocks with upside or downside gaps or gaps that have been closed. 73 are bearish gaps and 82 are bullish gaps.
The view from Alert HQ --

Stocks muddled through the day today. The Dow showed a noticeable gains while most other averages barely broke even. On the three major exchanges, however, decliners outpaced gainers.

We see the same situation at Alert HQ. SELL signals are in the majority on the Swing Signals and Trend Busters lists. And yet there are still positive signs from the Gaps list where upside gaps outnumber downside gaps. And the Trend Leaders list is still growing though it is growing more slowly than last week.

Stocks seem to be getting more and more tired. If you're a bull like me, that means a buying opportunity is coming. Take a look at our lists of alerts and populate your watch list. The time to pull the trigger could be getting close.

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.

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.
