How To Learn Stock Charts In 5 Easy Steps

by Bob on August 25, 2010

Most worthwhile goals require a bit of perseverance. After all, you
wouldn't want visit a dentist who had just decided to work on teeth
that morning! And many pursuits demand some preparation and tenacity to
build a knowledge base. That's definitely true when you decide to learn
about stock-market investing. A key step in that process is learning to
read stock charts, a process also known as technical analysis.

Anyone can learn technical analysis. All you need is a stock charting
program. There are many free options available on the Internet, such as
Free Stock Charts by Worden Brothers. There are also many services you
can pay for. Some of the paid services contain additional information,
such as a complete database of company fundamentals, but you can
absolutely master chart-reading basics with a free program.

Growth Stocks Riverbed, Stericycle Holding Up Well

by Bob on August 23, 2010

Even as the market struggled last week, many top-performing growth
stocks continued to hold up well.

For example, Riverbed Technology (RVBD), which helps business customers
minimize bandwidth usage and speed up data access and backup.

Sales accelerated four quarters in a row, and earnings accelerated in
the past two quarters. In the most recent quarter, earnings grew at a
rate of 79% and sales grew 39%. Those are excellent, especially in a
shaky economy, when many companies are suffering from lackluster sales.

Wall Street expects profit to grow 50% this year, and 25% in 2011.
Earnings have grown every year since 2007.

Is The Smart Money Shorting Treasury Bonds?

August 18, 2010

In economic uncertainty, the smart money flees stocks and heads to
bonds until the storm is over. There's nothing wrong with not
participating in a volatile market. Being risk oriented is often a poor
decision for everyone but the most experienced traders. Still, I'm not
convinced that treasury bonds are the right place to be. In my opinion,
all the signs point to an upcoming selloff in the treasury bond market.

Here are some reasons why it's wise to be cautious about treasuries
now.

1. Shorting Treasuries

Will New Rules Help Or Hurt Goldman Sachs?

August 8, 2010

Goldman Sachs to Spin Off Proprietary Trading Unit

Goldman Sachs announced that they are likely to spin off their
proprietary trading operations to third-party asset management
companies in compliance with the Volcker Rule. Though the proprietary
trading desk will no longer be seeded with the money of Goldman's
clients, Goldman will establish management contracts and continue to
operate a proprietary trading division. Though full implementation of
financial regulation is likely five or ten years away, Goldman is
getting its ducks in a row and will likely establish the management
companies as early as this month.

Caterpillar Jumps, Not Crawls, Into Second-Quarter Profit

July 29, 2010

Though I'm a growth investor at heart, I don't dismiss other
opportunities which may present themselves. For example, heavy
machinery maker Caterpillar (CAT) could hardly be called a growth name,
but it appears intriguing lately.

That's especially true as industrials and techs have replaced many of
the retailers and consumer-oriented big caps that have shown leadership
in recent months.

Last week, the company reported better-than-expected second quarter
earnings, which gave the stock a lift in heavy volume. Take a look at
this weekly chart, to see the volume spike.

Apple Has Room To Run Beyond New Price Highs

June 18, 2010

This week, Apple (AAPL) made new highs, closing at $274 on Friday. A
lot of traders are expecting the momentum to stop, and at some point,
it will, but how high will Apple climb before it does?

To all the bears who think Apple is an $11 stock and will always be an
$11 stock, I scoff at you! Apple stock is hilariously undervalued for a
stock that has so many eyes on it. Although technical indicators are
crucial, too many traders are looking for bad news on the chart,
expecting to find "resistance" at certain levels. They are failing to
realize how good of a fundamental play the Apple stock remains.

Fears of Financial Regulation Dictate Market Movements

June 14, 2010

This morning, the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 100 points in
early trade to reflect a bullish sentiment in a relatively uncertain
market.

The only sector not participating in this rally? Financials. On an
otherwise strong day, JPMorgan (JPM), Bank of America (BAC), Wells
Fargo (WFC) and other big banks are all down by about 1%. An upward
move with one sector lagging, particularly the financial sector, can be
very good news or very bad news.

Lululemon Athletica Holds Strong Pose Even In Volatile Market

June 10, 2010

Lululemon Athletica (LULU), which jumped more than 4% Wednesday, had
its best-ever Q1 this year when its earnings tripled from the previous
year. Analyst projections were for $0.21 earnings per share, and actual
earnings beat this by a healthy margin for $0.27 per share.

Lululemon has raised revenue projections for the rest of 2010 by about
20%. LULU currently operates around 100 stores across North America, so
there's plenty of room for growth with this company, whose customers
are women who participate in yoga and other sports.

Market Fear? Not As Necessary As "They" Want You To Believe

May 17, 2010

With all the volatility and uncertainty that's returned to the market
in recent weeks, it would be easy to fall back into panic. On Thursday,
May 6, financial TV channels showed endless loops of a few Greeks
protesting in the streets. To the networks' delight, police in riot
gear were challenging the protesters.

I say "of course" because such images play right into the agenda of the
media, which is to frighten you.

Here's an excellent article by Alexander Green on this very topic. He
actually goes on to address the bigger issue of using television as a
substitute for real life -- and I agree with that, though it's a longer
discussion for another day.

Simple Stock Watch: Designer Shoe Warehouse (DSW)

April 28, 2010

Well, the market took a crazy beating on Tuesday. Investors clearly
started freaking out about the wider ramifications of the debt crisis
in Greece, and sent equities plummeting.

But today, we'll look at one that bucked the trend, Designer Shoe
Warehouse (DSW).

It's easy to get discouraged on a day like this. But remember: Every
market decline is followed by a new uptrend.

And one of the crucial things to do while you wait for the market to
find its footing is to keep trolling for stocks whose price and volume
action are outpacing the indexes. On Tuesday, there were precious few
names meeting that description. But here's a look at one of them,
Designer Shoe Warehouse (DSW).
