Can anyone explain this strategy to me in simple terms, or refer me to a web page that can explain it.
Thanks.
A 10 week moving average is the average price of a stock or index (like Nasdaq or NYSE) over the last 10 weeks. Consider at the start of the year to the 10th week, this would be the average weekly closing price for the first 10 weeks of the year. The next week, the last 10 weeks would be weeks 2 through 11, then weeks 3 through 12, etc. This is a 10 week moving average.
Stocks are very volatile these days, and it’s almost meaningless what the stock price is throughout the day, or even for a whole day. But, a one week price increase or decrease is a better indicator of how a stock or index is doing relative to other stocks or indices. And, by comparing the deviations in the 10-week moving averages for a number of stocks or indices, you can get a very good indication of how strong a stock or index is over time.
Open-high-low-close This type of chart requires four series of values in the correct order (open, high, low, and then close).
you must have 5 columns of data(numbers), including date column as first column, with column’s titles to start with, then you have to start the graph by clicking the bar graph icon on menu bar
1. choosing "Stock", and the chart sub-type is "Open-High-Low-Close"
2. For data range tab, choose columns
3. For Series tab, check each series on the left to see if the range on its right is correct
4. click next and check out the rest of the minor attributes and tune it to your preference.
Hope this helps
I like using you stock screener charts for various stock options. How can I print the screener
Two ways, one: use the print scren option. The other is to copy paste it into word, then print it.
go for it…
I am making a presentation for a finance class. We are looking to see if there is any relationship between the rise of the 401(k) and the total amount of money in the financial markets (only the stock markets, if possible). To do my part I need to find the total amount of money in the financial markets (or the stock market), and I am having trouble finding it. Any help is appreciated.
The thing is, there is no money in the stock market. None at all. It’s all company property represented by share certificates for the publicly traded companies.
Perhaps you can find out the prices people paid for shares and the number of shares they’ve bought. And if you multiply the two, then you will find out the total amount of money people paid for shares on a given day.
But even this number would be approximate and not exact. Because stock prices change throughout the trading day. And there is no easy way to find out the average stock prices for the whole day.
You can find historical price and volume information like that for the New York Composite Index for example. Or S&P 500.

But these indexes are only representative of the market. They are not the whole market.
If you have experience or links to information on stock trading would you mind sharing your tips and beginner info and a good place to get started for the individual investor. I know it’s a risky business and you need all the information possible to have some skill before beginning. Thanks for any info!

I need to add investors relations page on a website so need to provide quotes and charts preferably for free or at a very LOW price.
Would be great if it is customizable and can’t really copy and paste code from other sites (copyright laws).
I am happy to do some coding if required I just need a tutorial.
Well, you WILL have to do some serious coding!
Since markets change at any instant, to get an up-to-date figure, you would need to find and READ an RSS feed, that is, decode its contents.
Search the feed, then I may give you guidance on how to read the feed.
(Have a look at web2coders.com/rss: there is an RSS reader that selects feeds, read them, and converte them into a sueable form).
It seems to me that, in general, stock prices have hit a floor and will be supported at around this level, and then start to go up from here. Does anyone feel on the contrary, that stock prices have yet to hit bottom?
stocks hit bottom in march. Dow will go back to 7800 in the next 2 months.
What sectors of stock market are the best for 2006? Drug, Energy, Tech or what? Will it be a good year for stock?

I pay for the streaming quotes but can not use the function – Yahoo does not have a way to ask questions of ‘the company’ Do I need to (somehow) cancel the service ?
call the company and ask for tech support.
I am 21 and i am just starting out. Upon visiting my local bookstore i see there too many books so i want to know if i were to narrow it down to three which three should i buy. I have heard about Benjamin Gram’s "The intelligent investor" and Pat Dorsey’s "5 simple rules…"
I want to know if anyone has experience or insight.
"the Intelligent Investor" is almost a must read. Another that I like is "Sensible Stock Investing" David Van Knapp. For beginners I think " Investing for Dummies" is a good beginning. Also worth the effort is "All About Asset Allocation" Richard Ferri.
