Momentum Trading: Five Guidelines For Supercharging Your Portfolio With Momentum Stocks

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 13:52:00 GMT

Momentum: Force or speed of movement. Impetus of a process, such as an idea, or course of events… That’s how the dictionary defines the word “momentum.” We’ve all seen what can happen when an index, sector, or stock catches momentum – either to the upside or downside. However, momentum waves don’t move uniformly. They can bounce up and down in an upward trend, gradually making new highs and higher lows, or they can fall into a downward trend.[More...]

54 Stocks Returning 15%+ in January

Sun, 01 Feb 2009 18:18:00 GMT

As we exit the worst January ever, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at the best performers of the past month. Before we do, courtesy of Dshort.com this is a chart that has been passed around a lot in the investing community so I thought I'd share it. Two ways to read this - of the 4 great bear markets the past 100 years, 3 "ended" roughly where we are now... about a 50% loss in value from peak. That's the bullish view i.e. "can't get worse than this" and if we fall to S&P 750 (November lows) but never break through they will be correct. The bearish view is - the 4th bear market ended in a 90% drop, and if you plot the velocity of the decline, what happened to us in Sep - Nov caused us to be in lockstep with the worst of the 4. I'm not calling for a 90% drop[More...]

A Financial Incentive to Combat a Growing Health Epidemic

Mon, 25 Aug 2008 06:28:00 GMT

Just as carbon credits were created out of the thin air to create a financial incentive to mitigate global warming through the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions; perhaps exercise credits should be considered as a new type of health commodity to combat the growing obesity epidemic in the United States and other developed countries. According to statistics (PDF) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website (CDC.gov), only one state had a prevalence of obesity less than 20% last year while 30 states had a prevalence of 25% or more – resulting in both adverse economic and health consequences.According to [More...]

NASDAQ Technical Picture - Lowest Close Since Oct. 2006 - Mar 2 2008 11:12PM

Mon, 03 Mar 2008 03:06:42 GMT

Friday's close was the lowest since October 2006. The NASDAQ has been carving a symmetrical triangle for 5 weeks. Symmetrical triangles are generally continuation patterns, so Friday's action was no surprise, and probably a welcome relief after all the narrow range trade as price moved closer to the apex. Prices gapped some 20 points lower and continued lower on higher volume in afternoon to end the session off by 60 pts. or 2.6%. All major sectors participated in the drubbing.The Feb. low is less than 20 pts. away, followed by a retest of the J[More...]
