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.
