Weekend Winners and Losers - Alert HQ BUY and SELL signals for October 9, 2009

This post is to announce that the weekend's stock signals are available from Alert HQ.

Each week we scan about 7300 stocks and ETFs, checking fundamentals, performing technical analysis and looking for fresh BUY and SELL signals. Out of this process we generate the following lists:

• Alert HQ stock alerts - based on a combination of proprietary and standard technical analysis techniques, we identify stocks or ETFs that are undergoing reversals, either to the upside or to the downside
• Trend Leaders - just like it says, a collection of stocks in strong up-trends
• Cash Flow Kings whose free cash flow yield is 25% or greater
• Bollinger Band Breakouts - stocks or ETFs that have moved at least 3% above their upper Bollinger Band or at least 3% below their lower Bollinger Band
• Swing Trading Signals - stocks that have bounced off a higher or lower Bollinger Band
• Trend Busters - stocks or ETFs that have violated a current trend.
• Gap Signals - stocks or ETFs gapping up or down during the last 5 sessions

The view from Alert HQ --

Just when it seems like downside momentum is gathering and support levels are in danger, the market turns on a dime and puts together 5 back-to-back up days.

As I said on Tuesday and Thursday, the signals at Alert HQ are leaning heavily bullish. Given that there are only 386 stocks on our Trend Leaders list, it very much looks like this week's rally still has room to run.
