. 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. When we have finished processing the day's closing data, we post the results (usually the same afternoon) with a statement that the data has been updated for the morning of the next market day (The sign says "Updated For Next Market Opening After Date Shown in Table"). For example, if it is after the close of market on Friday and the date posted at the top of the first table is Friday's date, then the update does reflect market action for Friday, and it has been updated in preparation for the market's opening on Monday. However, if the date is Thursday's date, it has not yet been updated in preparation for Monday. It still reflects the market action as of the close of market on Thursday. Tuesday is different from other days of the week in that it presents unavoidable timing problems for us. Tuesday's data often does not make it to the site until sometime between 5:00 a.m. and 6:30 a.m. on Wednesday morning (the market opens at 6:30 a.m. our time). Our update schedule remains unchanged on "half-days" because we cannot obtain market data any sooner when the market closes earlier than 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
The Valuator The price of a subscription has just risen from $95 to $135. 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. We have experimented with lower prices, but it appears that those who see its value at $95 are the same ones who saw its value at much higher prices. They either see it or they don't. If they see it, price doesn't matter. In other words, price does not seem to be a determining factor in the number of subscribers. It is one of our most popular subscriptions. That's why it surprised us that lowering the price did not result in an influx of new subscribers who were simply waiting for a bargain. It is possible that we need to do a better job of explaining how useful the publication is. We created it over 20 years ago. It has been one of our most important resources, if not the most important resource, for investment ideas ever since. It will probably continue to be so as long as we are investing. We believe that the Internet version would be more reasonably priced at least at $165. 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. We will probably create a video soon to share some ideas about how to use it. . "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 displays 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:
. Stops Stops is now compatible with all popular versions of Microsoft's Excel (Excel 97 through Excel 2007). It enables a person to obtain volatility-adjusted stop loss settings without having to know statistics.
. 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. . Videos We have added a second video to the Stock Alerts video page (renamed "Stock Alert Videos" page). It provides more information on the requirements of a good setup. Our 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. There are too many pages on this site for us to immediately know when there is a problem. If you let us know, 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, it 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. If we click on a link, it doesn't work. It makes us wonder if the owners of the site are alive or if they care at all about their site. We do care. 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 "FAQs" #13. 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 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. We have made changes to the text and charts on the "Stock Scanner" page. The charts now include Bollinger Bands (20 days, 2 standard deviations), and the 50-day moving average of the volume is indicated by a blue line (to make it easier for you to spot significant volume spikes). In the "Price Surge" section, "surge" information for downside movement has been added to the scan. We now post the 50 stocks with the most negative change in addition to the 50 stocks with the most positive change. Price surges can now quickly be spotted for both directions along with any corresponding volume surges. The data table for "Stock Scanner" now covers the 120 stocks that are charted, and it now includes volume change information. This information is currently located below the charts. The charts are now grouped into "pages" to make it easy to locate a specific stock of interest you find in the table. . 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. In April of last year, the fee for a one-year subscription to weekly issues of StockAlerts was $590. As an experiment, we decided to offer it at a special price of $75 for the remainder of the year. We have concluded that $75 was not realistic, and we are increasing the price. Those who took advantage of the special offer have locked in the $75 price for future subscription renewals if they do not let their subscriptions lapse. We are of the opinion that even the new price of $195 per year for weekly reports is quite low. One good trade resulting from an alert could easily pay for a subscription for several years. People pay more for a day at Disneyland. Whether or not we increase the price again will be decided after we gather more subscriber information. Our experimental subscriptions to individual metrics from The Valuator and the individual alerts from StockAlerts have been discontinued. They represented too much cost in time and resources to produce for the fee charged. Also, most people who were interested in getting alerts wanted all of them. All existing subscriptions to services that are being discontinued will be honored and serviced until they expire. We have also added a monthly version of StockAlerts. It will include all the alert systems of the weekly version. The alerts for the first issue of each month that we post for the weekly lists will also be posted for the monthly lists. The fee for a subscription to these once-a-month lists is $60. A few changes and corrections have been made to the product descriptions you get by clicking on the "Product Lists" tab of the navigation menu on the left side of your screen. Strategy Tips There is a new "Strategy Tip" at the bottom of the Home page.
