Where I've hiding...

If you're a regular reader of this blog then you've probably noticed that the posts have few and far between lately.

Well, I've just been overwhelmed with behind the scenes activities and I haven't had the time for blogging.

First, I realized that the Trade-Radar Stock Inspector software was not internationalized properly and our European friends encountered a fatal error each time they tried to display a chart. I've made the changes necessary to accommodate the European way of displaying currency but there is still further testing to be done before I can release the new version of the software.

While I was in the middle of testing the Trade-Radar changes I was contacted by someone who wanted to sell me the Internet domain TradingStockAlerts.com. After thinking about it for a bit, I decided to buy it and, of course, I couldn't resist diving in and creating a new web site.

After messing around with the homepage I created what think is a pretty darn good stock screener. You can check it out at http://tradingstockalerts.com/freestockscreener

It includes all kinds of fundamental data as well as a good dose of technical analysis including moving averages, DMI, MACD and Aroon. Note that the various alerts, reversal signals, Trend Busters, gaps and swing signals are always limited to those that have occurred within the last few weeks. This ensures you aren't wasting your time on signals that are really outdated. It could use a few refinements but for the most part it's complete.

If you poke around the new site, however, you'll see that lots of the pages are actually at the current Trade-Radar.com site. That will change eventually. Here's what I am planning to do.

The Trade-Radar.com web site will be modified to focus on the Trade-Radar Stock Inspector software while the TradingStockAlerts.com web site will be set up to handle all the Alert HQ and Alert HQ Premium signals. It will further be set up to be more interactive and provide more detail (like the new stock screener). Plus, I'll eventually be offering email alerts. A user can submit a watch list and the site will check for changes in each stock's situation including changes in financials as well as in technicals.

Now that I've explained what I've been up to lately and I've encouraged you to play with the new stock screener, I regret that I have to tell you that I'm going on vacation starting Wednesday and I'll be gone for a week and a half. That means no one will be in the office tending the Trade-Radar or TradingStockAlerts sites. That furthermore means the data on both sites will be a bit stale before I get back.

In any case, please do give the new stock screener a try and let me know what you think. Leave a comment here are send me an email.

See you when I get back!!

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

Unlock Stock Market Profits - Key #1

This is the first in an ongoing series of articles where I discuss what I feel are keys to successful investing. It is based on a post that provides a summary of the ten keys that individual investors should use to identify profitable stock trades. ( Click here to read the original post ) There are two basic steps to investing. First, you need to find stocks that seem to have some potential. Then you have to determine whether these stocks are actually good investments. There are many stocks that at first glance look interesting, but further research reveals that there are too many negatives to warrant taking a position. 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. As individual investors, we will never be the first to know; however, unusual activity can be an early sign that allows us to follow the Wall Street professional
