The market was generally good last week and should be good this week as well. More concern is on geo-political events that could cause a pullback. There is a very good chance that the week will be flat so individual stock choices will be important.

As always, my thoughts should only be used for educational purposes and any decision by the reader to use this information is subject to my disclaimer. In addition to the disclaimer, the stocks mentioned may have changed value from the time I wrote this to the time that you are reading it; therefore, the conclusions below may no longer be valid. The analysis on any investment indicator is always a short-term thought and just by being in this list the stock already is a long-term Good Company  or Fair Company and made my Watch List. If you are looking for long-term analysis of the stock, you should look for the stock in the company list that appears to the far right.

My analysis in this article is based on the investment indicator tools that I describe in my book, “The Confident Investor.” If you are not subscribed to this site as a book owner, then you will not be able to see some of the analysis. You can purchase my book wherever books are sold such as Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Books A Million.

Investment Indicator Thoughts

S&P 500
The general S&P 500 (ticker is ^GSPC and the first line of my investment indicator articles). This indicator is about to bust into a buy signal. It is simply waiting for a bit more time to have the downturn of a couple weeks ago to be in the distance a bit more.

NASDAQ Composite
The NASDAQ Composite (the ticker is ^IXIC and the second line of my investment indicator articles). This indicator is showing that the market has recovered from its correction of a couple weeks ago. The market looks quite strong for this indicator.

If it keeps growing then look for a new 52-week high.[/s2If]

This stock is going strong and doesn’t seem to be quitting.

This information was calculated on Aug 13, 2014 and is based on the closing value of the most recent trading day which may not be today.

This information is based on the Yahoo Historical Pricing and is only as good or as current as that data 

[s2If !current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)]This information is exclusively for the registered owners of my book, “The Confident Investor” and will not be visible to other visitors to this site (you must be logged in to this site as a book owner in order to see the following analysis).

If you have registered and cannot see the technical indicators on each stock of my Watch List below, make sure you are logged in and refresh your browser.

As an example of the success that my book teaches, in a 7 year time frame from January 3, 2006 to December 31, 2012, Decker Corporation increased 304.7% if you would have implemented a pure buy-and-hold strategy. If you would implemented the strategy that I explain in my book, <a “href=”http://booklocker.com/books/6572.html” target=”_blank” style=”color: #000000;”>The Confident Investor, you would have seen a 371.2% return on your investment. This is a 21.8% increase on the profit percentage.

Can your investment system beat the market by that much?
