Not sure how to join the discussion at 11:30am today; can someone out there clue me in?
Hi Jeff. welcome to the forum. We should be able to get some good ideas going here.
Sheil, I think you've done it. I'm Ian Wyatt. Welcome to the discussion
Hi. Just checking in. Hope I'm not late. Looking forward to getting your thoughts on the market and some investing ideas. Seems like we've had more days like yesterday than we've had good days for a very long time.
Hello - just joining in from Montana
So, as a way of getting started, I'm Ian Wyatt. I''m the creator and chief startegist for a few investment advisory services. Growth Report, which I use for my blog here at Investors Insight, is a small cap growth newsletter
Hello everyone. Thanks for joining today
Here's a technical tip for today, refresh your browser often so you can see new posts and rplies
So the unemployement rate hit 6.1 today. I don't know if any of you read my blog posts from a few weeks ago here, but expect the US stock market to remain bearish until the unemployment numbers stabilize. In my opinion, this is a bigger catalyst than housing/financial at the present time
I guess I'll be the first to pose a question:
You’ve mentioned a few stocks in your Growth Report blog over the past couple weeks. I recall Emergent Biosciences and Candian Solar. I've been tracking Canadian Solar for a while and noticed it's bounced around. Should I hold these stocks or is it time to sell?
checking in just now. current market views?
And didn't retailers report lower than expected sales for "back to school"? Is this trend going to continue? Is the credit/financial/housing crisis spilling over to retail?
I should to answer your question by telling you that both of those stocks were selected by my stock-picking machine, which I affectionately call TRIGR. TRIGR selects stocks based on valuations and a range of technical indicators. The idea is to buy stocks with reasonable valuations, but we also want to buy stocks that are actually moving higher. Value stocks are great, but I don't want to wait years for my returns.
With these two Emergent and Canadian Solar, TRIGR hit two pretty good themes -- biotech and solar. Candaian Solar is very volatile. Trade it with a tight stop loss. Emergent is more of a long-term hold. The company makes bio defense vaccines and just landed a nioce 24 million contract
