As I mentioned a few days ago, the portfolio tracking/analysis service I selected is very realistic in that it won’t allow me to buy more shares of a small-float stock in one day than I could actually buy in real life. As such, I had to ‘phase in’ my trade on PAETEC Holdings (PAET). Well, [...]

I deliberately opened a can of worms this morning to establish the need and use of today’s ‘chart of the day’….. a chart you can plan on seeing on a fairly regular basis.
Per this morning’s portfolio snapshot and update, I hope its clear that the right sector, style, and market cap allocation is a major [...]

I was finally able to create the charts and portfolio tracking method I wanted to that also generated (automatically) the sector, style, and market cap allocation charts we need to constantly monitor. The first visualization of that data is below.
Though somewhat academic on the surface, don’t underestimate the meaning and purpose of these charts. While [...]

Though we’ve received several buy signals from our trading system, the only one I feel strongly enough about to enter now is ADTRAN Inc. (ADTN). Go ahead and add this stock to the portfolio. The signal came this week, at the same time the stock broke above a major long-term resistance line.
This makes our third [...]

We’ve got two new additi0ns to our watchlist for today. Both have signaled a ‘buy’ based on the proprietary system, though we’re not actually pulling the trigger on either trade yet. (We do have a new stock to but though… click here to see the newest recommendation.)
Charming Shoppes Inc. (CHRS): The buy signal is valid, [...]

As a follow up to yesterday’s comments regarding energy’s revival at the financial sector’s expense, I want to share another series of charts that lets us ‘drill down’ into a sector, then an industry, and then to a specific stock, on order to find the strongest of the strong. Though pin-pointing where leadership is coming [...]

It comes as no surprise to me that the financial sector has posted the biggest gains since March’s low. It was, after all, the financial sector that lost the most ground between September of last year and March of this year. However, I’m starting to think the leadership we’re seeing from the financial stocks is [...]

It’s not going in the official portfolio (yet) simply because the stock doesn’t quite fit all of our system, and strategy criteria. I still though this chart of Krispy Kreme (KKD) was interesting enough to share though. The stock has made a major breakout above the resistance side of a long-term wedge/triangle formation. Normally I’d [...]

Below are some stocks I’ve got my eye on as potential purchases, though for one reason or another (or multiple reasons) I’ve opted to not add to the portfolio just yet. You can do with them what you like, though bear in mind we may not follow up on any of them. Odds are good, [...]

Though I haven’t talked about it much (yet), a current snapshot of our portfolio and the underlying stocks’ performance may well clarify what this site does, and how it can help you.
Our first image is a look at how well our portfolio has performed since its inception versus the S&P 500. The green horizontal line [...]
