Most of the more recent entries are near the top beginning immediately after the "Web site Updates" information. Web site Updates Market Status, Alerts, Price Surges, Stock Scanner, Momentum Scan, and Strongest ETFs are updated daily. Our update schedule remains unchanged on "half-days" because we cannot obtain market data any sooner when the market closes earlier than when it closes at the normal closing time. Unavoidable delays may occur on any day. If we have not completed the update before the market opens the following day, check "Comments" below to see if we have posted a message. If there is no message, it probably means the delay is not the result of anything critical (such as a system failure), but that there have been only minor delays and that the information will soon be posted. If we ever miss updating our pages daily as described above, it must be because there are temporary technical problems that hinder our publishing. In that case, we may not be able to communicate with you to let you know when to expect us to be on schedule again. Please keep checking back, and be patient. We are in good shape financially, and have absolutely no plans to discontinue operations. Comments: None. Notice: We conducted a review of all actively traded ETFs to see which ones we could add to our database. As a result of this review, we have added 152 more ETFs to our database. At the time of our review, all of these traded 100,000 shares a day or more. See List of the most Recently Added ETFs

The Stock scanner now scans for 6 moving average crossovers representing a broad array of sensitivities. In order to generate an alert, the crossover must be associated with a volume surge. The scanner conducts a broad spectrum sweep over thousands of stocks looking for the first signs of "life" or unusual stock movement in either direction. Scan reports are generated daily for subscribers. See the Stock Scanner page for details and a sample scan report.
The Valuator The price of a subscription to this and our other publications have just been modified. Rather than charging on an annual basis, we now charge for 6-month subscriptions. We think many people can budget more easily for shorter subscriptions. Even in 1993 a subscription was priced at $176 per year (paper version). If that price were adjusted for inflation, the publication would be much more expensive now. It is one of our most popular subscriptions. It has been one of our most important resources, if not the most important resource, for investment ideas ever since its creation over 20 years ago. It will probably continue to be so as long as we are investing. We are now offering a 6-month subscription for $75. It is very labor intensive to produce, requiring much more time than than any other publication. Unlike the stuff available elsewhere on the Internet, it does not consist of the comparatively anemic cookie cutter downloads from data vendors. Each stock has its own custom-designed valuation model. Its measurements are simply not available anywhere else on the Internet. . "Do you want to view only the webpage content that was delivered securely?" If you are using Internet Explorer 8 and you view a page that includes HTTP based resources such as images, on a secure HTTPS page, Internet Explorer will interrupt the download and display a confirmation dialog. Most such warning dialogs require the viewer to click "yes" to proceed. However, in order to see the page and the charts, this dialog requires that you select "no." The warning is similar to the following image.
An IE user can disable this warning by: 1. Going to Tools->Internet Options 2. Select the ‘Security’ tab 3. Under "Select a zone to view or change security settings" select "Internet." 4. Click the ‘Custom Level’ button, and 5. In the ‘Miscellaneous’ section change “Display mixed content” to "Enable." These general instructions also apply to Internet Explorer 9. .
StockAlerts We added five key points regarding Bollinger Band squeeze alerts on the "Stock Alerts" page. . ETFs We now include the closing price for all EFs that make it into the top 50 for "strength." Again, this is our own strength algorithm. It is far more complex and sophisticated than the RSI. In a good market nearly everything looks good. At those times you may not see much difference in the stocks ranked highly by each approach. However, even then the RSI will produce some stocks you would not want to "touch with a ten foot pole." In poor markets, most of the "strength" stocks our algorithm finds will look far better than much of the stuff turned up by the RSI--especially if the scans are applied to thousands of stocks. . Momentum Scan Our free momentum scans now include 12-day and 25-day momentum and the 10-day average volume momentum. The 50 stocks with the greatest 25-day momentum are ranked and listed along with their 12-day momentum and 10-day average volume momentum. If You Find a Link That Doesn't Work... Please do not leave this site without reporting any link that is not functioning correctly. Links are tested when they are created, but sometimes links "lose their target" even though they have not been "touched." There are far too many links on this site for us to keep checking them to see if there is a problem with any of them. Links look functional whether they actually are or not. We spend our time preparing content rather than checking links. If you find a bad link, let us know so we can fix it. For example, we discovered that a few links in the tutorial section were not working. We have no idea how long they were not operable, but it took us only a few minutes to fix them. When we visit other sites, we are turned off by functions and links that do not work. For example, if we try to send an e-mail to notify site owners that one of their links does not function, the e-mail comes back undelivered because the automated address is incorrect. If we try to find a way to contact them about it, the "Contact Us" page is off-line or non-existent. We do not want our site to be like that. You can help us keep quality high by taking the time to let us know immediately when there is a problem. Please!
The Clock We have added a "clock" in the "Market review" section that reports the time at our location in California. The clock helps provide a little orientation for people in Europe, Asia, and in other time zones regarding the timing of our Web site updates as explained in "Q&A" #14. If visitors know the difference in time between their locations and our location, they can even use the clock to set their watches. Our use of US Naval Observatory Master Clock time assures us of the accuracy of the time reported.
. Talk To Us Why not send us an e-mail with some feedback on the Web site? We won't use your e-mail address to send you any ads nor will we sell it to anyone else. It would just be nice to know what you think. Unless you tell us not to, we will probably respond. Tell us what sections of the site are most useful to you and why. . Attention Subscribers Reminder: The "Strength" measurement used in The Valuator is far more powerful than the RSI. It measures recent stock strength and gives greater weighting to stocks that show more strength consistency. It screens out much of the "junk" that the RSI lets through. Our proprietary algorithm makes at least 4 separate weighted measurements and composite scores are created for each stock. The composite scores are then ranked relative to each other. Traders (and investors) should try to buy stocks early in the development of a strong positive trend. Even when investing in these stocks, investors should wait for a pullback (they should try to time their entry to coincide with when the stock has pulled back to its rising trendline or to a significant moving average). To reduce their risk exposure, many traders wait for the stock to respond to (or "bounce" off) the support expected at the trendline or moving average before they buy. . Recent Changes On the "Market Review" page we have added an R.C. Allen system "perspective" of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The idea here is to get some idea about whether the R.C. Allen system would buy, sell, or hold "the market" in its current condition. We have also added "quick impression" charts of each of the stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Six indicator charts are also provided with an explanation of each. . Content The "Setup Watch List," the "Forum," and "Wendy's Place" (and the one-on-one telephone tutorials offered there) have all been taken "off-line" for now. We anticipate bringing them back after we complete some other projects. Meanwhile, we will continue with our daily updates to Market Review, Alerts, Stock Scanner, Momentum Scan, Strongest ETFs, Price Surges, and Notes (this page).
The General Tiger Model (trading trainees) and the ETF Tiger Model Please be patient. The reason these programs have not yet been described or made available on this site is because we are not taking any new subscribers at this time. We will post an announcement on this site when we are ready to take on new enrollees. The "Alerts" Page
.
The particular stocks selected for posting are not selected on the basis of their relative merit, but you should be able to find some good ideas in these lists at times. Some people may believe that the alerts we have been posting free on the "Alerts" page are just as good as the ones we make available through our R.C. Allen Alerts subscription. Though the free alerts may lead you to some good trades, they never come from the top ten that are included on subscriber's lists. Why would anybody give away something equal to the best they have to offer and then try to make their living by charging a fee for something that is not any better? That would be self-destructive. If a given alert system generates 50 alerts, there may be only 3 or 4 out of the 50 that have an attractive setup pattern. A sample of ten stocks taken from the master list but not from the top ten on that list may occasionally include a good candidate, but the odds of that are far less than for subscribers. Always check to see if the alert is generated after a "setup." This is important. A stock that has generated an alert may still have to overcome significant resistance that is just above the current price before it can go any higher. That means the setup will not be attractive until that resistance is overcome. An alert is not a buy signal. A stock that has generated an alert must be visually inspected to see if there are any reasons to avoid the stock. The alert merely draws attention to the fact that certain conditions have been met that very often precede a surge in price. The visual inspection will help determine if there are other negative conditions or mitigating factors. .
Strategy Tips "Strategy Tips" at the bottom of the Home page will not be posted for awhile, but we plan to resume the postings later.
Everything Is Free!.
People have developed the notion that they can get almost anything free of charge somewhere on the Internet. A common notion is that what one site charges a fee for, another site will offer free. However, this is true only of the more superficial and "commoditized" information. Who would be so foolish as to base a business model on products or services that are available elsewhere for free? We certainly wouldn't. That would be like trying to sell widgets at the shopping mall even though free widgets were being given away in various shops at the mall just for walking in. Many people invest in the market using only the resources available everywhere on the Internet because they do not want to spend the price of a day at Disneyland to obtain the tools necessary to do the job right. Some spend far more on entertainment or on a sporting event than they will spend to do a good job investing hundreds of thousands of dollars. For example, a day at Disneyland will probably cost a family well over $300, and it will get them nothing in return other than some temporary fun. On the other hand, use of our stop loss tool for six months costs only $75. Yet, it can help prevent the loss of many thousands of dollars (enough to pay for more trips to Disneyland than almost anyone would want). Think about it. It makes no sense. Whenever a person makes a trade, there is someone or something (a computer) on the other side of that trade. When you buy a stock, the transaction is possible because someone else is anxious to get rid of the stock that you want to buy. The other person is betting that your decision to buy is based on faulty or inadequate information. Too often people underestimate the intelligence or knowledge of the person on the other side of the trade. The individual with the better information and more capable discipline will tend to be the one who is on the right side of the transaction most of the time. Sometimes, being cheap is costly. .
