By: Mike_Stathis
For anyone who believes any positive earnings reports from the banks, you probably also believe there will be a real recovery in the economy. These “earnings” are even less credible than those reported by the banks during the height of their Ponzi scheme in 2007. Earnings? From the banks? It’s laughable. Let me now state what I consider to be facts related to the bigger picture of this economic fiasco.

By: Richard_Shaw
In prior ETF and stock screens, we did computerized quantitative filtering of the 183 largest ETFs and the 8000+ largest US listed stocks to find those with attractive price patterns using the close, the 20-day average and the 50-day average. Now that so many stocks have passed their 200-day average, we have added one more criterion (close > 200-day average) to the original criteria that searched for short-term upward slant to price patterns.Read full article...
