Use 20 days simple moving average2. Find a longer term moving average.

| Article Title :: Best No Load Mutual Funds: The Right Way to Look at Fees and Expenses |
| |
| Metrics such as price/earnings ratio and dividend yield on the S&P 500 index, a commonly used proxy for the U.S. stock market, are hardly at bargain levels. This has lead several market pundits to predict single digit annual returns for domestic mutual funds over the next decade.While pursuing the search for the best mutual fund, some mutual fund investors tend to focus exclusively on fees and expense ratios. The rationale is that by choosing
mutual funds with low fees, investors will have more of their capital invested. Also, no load mutual funds with low expense ratios will pass on more of the returns
they earn to their shareholders.Is shopping for the lowest fees and (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Why Invest Money in Stocks? |
| |
| Are you considering investing in stocks? Many people have chosen stocks as their primary wealth building vehicle.There are a ton of reasons for investing in stocks but I’ll leave you with the most beneficial reasons.When you buy a stock you are actually a partial owner of the company and if you do your research you can own a very successful company that will reward you for years to come.Stocks on average grow over 10% a year and that’s a lot more than a certificate of deposit (CD) at your local bank.Your risk is minimal as long as you don’t put all your money in one stock or in companies that are similar.

| Article Title :: Nasdaq Rising Wedge |
| |
| The bulk of third quarter earnings were reported over the past two weeks. Many stocks, particularly tech stocks, fell sharply on above average earnings and guidance. Consequently, the stock market was more predictable than many individual stocks. SPX, for example, generally traded within 1,170 and 1,200, i.e. multi-year support at 1,165 and the 200 day MA at 1,200. Also, the economic data reported Friday showed real GDP expanded at a 3.8% annual rate during the third quarter. So, there was no "soft-patch" afterall.However, the market continues to worry about inflation. The GDP Chain Price Deflator, also reported Friday, rose at a 3.1% annual rate during the third quarter, which was (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Penny Stocks - Turn Your Pennies Into Dollars |
| |
| We've all heard about the investor how bragged about his 100% or 1000% return on a stock or about the guy who made it rich by investing in small caps, undiscovered stocks that made it big. In theory, it seems to be too easy. Invest in a couple of penny stocks, then sell them when they move up. Unfortunately, it is too easy. Too easy to lose money unless you know what to look for.First, lets have a look at what types of companies trade on the OTC BB or Pink Sheets.Stocks that no longer trade over $1 on the NasdaqThese include companies that fell from grace (Enron). While it is possible that they may see better days in the future, the odds are stacked against them. Its (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Trading Stocks Without Emotion |
| |
| To trade without emotional involvement. It is a necessity, and yet it is virtually impossible. Certain things in life just bring out emotion, like making decisions that effect your financial outlook. There are two things that make this uniquely harder for traders, than for non-traders. One is, we are likely to be more involved in our financial well-being than non-traders. Some people would even say our priorities are out of whack, and perhaps they are right. But nevertheless, that is the way we are, and if we weren't that way we wouldn't be traders. The second factor that makes emotionless trading very difficult is, this is likely to be our passion. We aren't singers, humanitarian (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Stock Market: The Halloween Indicator |

| In the stock market, there is an old Wall Street adage to "Sell in May and go away."

It's also known as the Halloween Indicator.According to the 2005 edition of the Stock Trader's Almanac, the six month period beginning in November gained 10,599.68 Dow Jones Industrial Average points in 54 years. The remaining six months, from the beginning of May through the end of October, lost 588.44 points. The S&P 500 index gained 1089.23 points in the No (read full article) |
