The view from Alert HQ --

Nice week in the markets! Two big pieces of news were very well received. First, the ISM Services index showed job growth and economic activity in the services sector were picking up. In related news, a good percentage of retailers reported improved same-store results. All this implied that the U.S. consumer, while claiming to be depressed in sentiment surveys, was beginning to show some optimism when it came to spending some money. Secondly, a surprisingly benign Nonfarm Payrolls report suggested the employment picture was brightening.

As a result, stocks surged and Alert HQ has been registering an increasing number of BUY signals all week. Today's weekend results show BUY signals to be firmly in the majority. With the Trend Leaders list growing, it is looking like we have broad-based strength and upside momentum. The sharp advances this week are reflected in the large number of upside Gap signals. All in all, a very positive week.

With stocks poised to move above the 2010 highs established in January, we might be on the verge of a hoped-for breakout to new highs. With that possibility in sight, you might want to have some good investment candidates selected. Browse through Alert HQ and you're sure to find a more than a few!

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...
