When I see this; well, something to ponder, eh? LIP

This graphic will change some, depending upon your viewing period, today, Sept 19.
At the time of this note; the top four positive sectors are:

$US
30 year treasury bond
10 year treasury note
Gold

At least related to the traders and machines; and having an effect on one's portfolio;
the above strength areas indicates the ongoing tense nature of the investment market
world.

I would prefer to be out of many bond funds, except perhaps high yield; and find the
2 treasury issues to be near the bottom of the list, which could indicate a healing of the
current fiscal problems of the developed countries.
Another scenario could also be that the big bond kids are much
dissatisfied with attempts to get the fiscal house of the U.S. in order and this would push
yields up, too. But this action would arise from a different set of circumstances.

  • Try this site instead of finviz.

    It is real time:

  • Howdy xorion,

    Nice to "see" you here.

    Thank you for the link.

    The finviz link I placed does update, but may be delayed 15 minutes. I have not checked. A F5 page
    refresh always provides new numbers, and I recall the page will auto update every minute or so.
    The finviz link also gives me an overview of the various sectors, which is what I use for comparing
    movements in the sectors. Quick dirty looks.

    Are you still studying/attenting school?

    Take care,

    Catch
  • Hi catch,

    I like finviz a lot. I agree it gives a nice overall status picture of everything and the news summaries are also useful. Sometimes, though, I want real time.

    I have visited the MFO site a number of times but usually don't find much that interests me. I am essentially a trader and not an investor. The old site had a lot of back and forth discussions about timing, market trends and market direction. MFO seems not to be interested in these topics. Frankly I find mutual fund discussions pretty boring.

    I finished my schoolwork in May but am considering doing some more, but not in near future.

    I am having a respectable year trading.

    Good Luck and Kind Regards,

    xorion
