Some Free (inexpensive) help

March 25th, 2006 at 01:44 am

This week's action (March 20-24):

This week, the NYSE closed down about 43 points. Although it looks to be starting a move down, I cannot yet claim victory for my predictions made in my 3/10 and 3/16 postings.

My favorite publications:

Investor's business Daily:

The Big Picture and the IBD 100 are must reads. I usually just get the Monday special. $2 a read. Other days are $1 each. Get it a Barnes and Noble and most newsstands. Otherwise, subscriptions are available, but expensive. They have very good online tools that come with some of the subscription offers, though.

Business week:

Analysis of the economy and figures of the week are very useful. About $38.00 for a year's subsription.

Value Line Investment Survey:

An excellent resource for individual stock investing. They rate stocks 1-5 on various criteria. It costs about $375.00 a year for a subscription. I go to the library instead and use it for free. It is important to buy the stocks when they have just been upgraded to #1 for timeliness and sell when downgraded.

CNBC.com:

(free) Down load the advanced chart tool. It is extremely useful for evaluating volume and price movements of any index or stock.

CNN.com:

(free) The charting tool is less sophisticated than CNBC's but is easier to use and will basically give you the same info, except if does not do customized periods.
