The view from Alert HQ --

Stocks keep struggling higher and thus we remain bullish at Alert HQ. We again have more BUY signals than SELL signals on the Swing Trading Signals, Trend Busters and Gap Analysis lists. The Trend Leaders list is staying at a fairly strong level and more stocks were added to this list than fell off.

Some of our signals, however, suggest caution. The Alert HQ reversal signals (the first two entries in the list above) don't tell such a bullish story.

On the whole, as earnings season tells a decent story about the recovery in U.S. economy, some amount of bullishness is warranted. Be sure to browse through Alert HQ for some good investment candidates

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?

When markets reco...
