I'm still on new high/double-top watch for the Nasdaq. I can't complain about the price action but as you know I'm alwasy suspect of a lack of volume at or near an old high. That never seems to matter until it all of a sudden does so I'll try not to focus on it right now...


On Today's Calendar:

  • 9:45 -- Chicago PMI
  • 10:00 -- Construction Spending
  • 10:00 -- Mich Sentiment-Rev.

I think we're going to find out real soon whether the Nasdaq can break its 2007 high. This gap up should put it real close to that resistance level.

September 26, 2007 Stock Market Recap

It was a good day for the bulls although the charts show we've got a bit of a mixed market. The Nasdaq, and especially the Nasdaq-100 (QQQQ) is moving higher while the S&P is stuck in congestion. Last week I mentioned QQQQ possibly making a double top with its July high. It broke through that level yesterday and now the Nasdaq is in the position the Qs were in last week. The billion dollar question is: Will the Naz follow the lead of the Qs or will it fail miserably?

InfoNgen Tour

Here's a video walk-through of a very powerful tool for investors called InfoNgen. The founder, John Mahoney, who you may remember from a WallStrip episode, just posted this tour of their latest version on his blog:

SHOW NOTES:

In this show, I demonstrate the free version of InfoNgen, a high-end feed reader/web discovery tool targeted at financial professionals and corporations. InfoNgen automatically tags and classifies every story from inbound RSS feeds or other textual sources IN REAL TIME, providing a manageable way for professionals to discover content across tens of thousands of unique sources.

Topics Include:


  • the limitations of current RSS feed readers

  • the advantages of a core tagging engine

  • Signing up for a free InfoNgen account

  • configuring content widgets on the InfoNgen Home page

  • navigating the InfoNgen Feeds page for more detailed discovery


It looks like a very useful tool that's right up my alley (RSS and finance). I hope to start playing around with it in the next few days.

September 26, 2007 Stock Market Recap

It was a good day for the bulls although the charts show we've got a bit of a mixed market. The Nasdaq, and especially the Nasdaq-100 (QQQQ) is moving higher while the S&P is stuck in congestion. Last week I mentioned QQQQ possibly making a double top with its July high. It broke through that level yesterday and now the Nasdaq is in the position the Qs were in last week. The billion dollar question is: Will the Naz follow the lead of the Qs or will it fail miserably?

InfoNgen Tour

Here's a video walk-through of a very powerful tool for investors called InfoNgen. The founder, John Mahoney, who you may remember from a WallStrip episode, just posted this tour of their latest version on his blog:

SHOW NOTES:

In this show, I demonstrate the free version of InfoNgen, a high-end feed reader/web discovery tool targeted at financial professionals and corporations. InfoNgen automatically tags and classifies every story from inbound RSS feeds or other textual sources IN REAL TIME, providing a manageable way for professionals to discover content across tens of thousands of unique sources.

Topics Include:


  • the limitations of current RSS feed readers

  • the advantages of a core tagging engine

  • Signing up for a free InfoNgen account

  • configuring content widgets on the InfoNgen Home page

  • navigating the InfoNgen Feeds page for more detailed discovery


It looks like a very useful tool that's right up my alley (RSS and finance). I hope to start playing around with it in the next few days.

I'm still on new high/double-top watch for the Nasdaq. I can't complain about the price action but as you know I'm alwasy suspect of a lack of volume at or near an old high. That never seems to matter until it all of a sudden does so I'll try not to focus on it right now...

It was a good day for the bulls although the charts show we've got a bit of a mixed market. The Nasdaq, and especially the Nasdaq-100 (QQQQ) is moving higher while the S&P is stuck in congestion. Last week I mentioned QQQQ possibly making a double top with its July high. It broke through that level yesterday and now the Nasdaq is in the position the Qs were in last week. The billion dollar question is: Will the Naz follow the lead of the Qs or will it fail miserably?

InfoNgen Tour

Here's a video walk-through of a very powerful tool for investors called InfoNgen. The founder, John Mahoney, who you may remember from a WallStrip episode, just posted this tour of their latest version on his blog:

SHOW NOTES:

In this show, I demonstrate the free version of InfoNgen, a high-end feed reader/web discovery tool targeted at financial professionals and corporations. InfoNgen automatically tags and classifies every story from inbound RSS feeds or other textual sources IN REAL TIME, providing a manageable way for professionals to discover content across tens of thousands of unique sources.

Topics Include:


  • the limitations of current RSS feed readers

  • the advantages of a core tagging engine

  • Signing up for a free InfoNgen account

  • configuring content widgets on the InfoNgen Home page

  • navigating the InfoNgen Feeds page for more detailed discovery


It looks like a very useful tool that's right up my alley (RSS and finance). I hope to start playing around with it in the next few days.

I'm still on new high/double-top watch for the Nasdaq. I can't complain about the price action but as you know I'm alwasy suspect of a lack of volume at or near an old high. That never seems to matter until it all of a sudden does so I'll try not to focus on it right now...

I think we're going to find out real soon whether the Nasdaq can break its 2007 high. This gap up should put it real close to that resistance level.
