      <description><![CDATA[A body in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted on by an outside force.

      <title>Momentum Trading: Five Guidelines For Supercharging Your Portfolio With Momentum Stocks</title>
      <guid>http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/3661191</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[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.<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/3661191>[More...]</a>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[There is a scene in the movie “Animal House” (which completely rips off Dr. Suess’ “Horton Hears a Who” in one fell swoop but that’s a story for a different day) where a small group is at Professor Riegert’s house and after the room fills with a certain scent the discussion gets a bit heady and the concept that our entire universe could be on the head of a pin in another, larger, universe is proposed.  Grand stuff for sure but in the good professor’s case merely an attempt to raise Pinto’s awareness of a world outside of his own “Private Idaho”.<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/3653602>[More...]</a>]]></description>

Unfortunately, they still haven’t. The show stunk. The “actor” who played Danny Zuko couldn’t act. And American Idol winner Taylor Hicks was so bad as Teen Angel, it was laughable.<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/3647583>[More...]</a>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I wrote yesterday I thought markets had focused on the positive on Friday and that appears to have been even more the case overnight. To be fair, yesterday’s 1.2% QoQ rise in Japanese GDP in Q3 was a positive surprise (although this still leaves output down 4.5% YoY). But I wasn’t overly impressed with the stronger than expected 1.4% MoM gain in US retail sales in October, coming as it did after a revised 2.3% MoM decline in September (previously reported as a 1.5% mom decline).<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/3644070>[More...]</a>]]></description>

I’m not sure if that means we’re getting the start of a significant down move just yet, but we’ll see if they can at least get downside follow-through in the next day or two.<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/3632364>[More...]</a>]]></description>
