About Stockradar – An essential tool for investing
| I started Stockradar in 2002 to provide an independent, value for money service providing advice on stocks and teaching an
investing philosophy. After years working for stockbrokers, charting and reporting on stocks and working for five years as Dow Jones' London product manager running seminars on the stock market, I decided I could no longer be part of providing people with self-serving information and advice. |

Stockbrokers make their money on transactions so their reasons for recommending stocks to clients are often different from people like me who base buying and selling decisions on methodical analysis. I don't want to make people's investing decisions for them. I don't think anyone should. It's their money and they will do better if they learn for themselves about investing in the stock market so they can pick stocks and make decisions that are consistent with their own individual investment goals. The idea and passion behind Stockradar is to provide people managing their own money with information that gives them a solid basis for their decisions. Stockradar's approach is . disciplined . methodical . thorough . easy to follow and consistently delivers above average market returns. It provides independent, insightful and often counterintuitive commentary on 200 stocks. Stockradar subscribers describe the service as: "an essential tool for investing" "simple effective" "takes the effort out" "Good for beginners to interpret Technical Analysis" "Good results - good value" The eternal challenge of the stock market is to pick the right stocks to make money and Stockradar has proven that basing investing decisions on technical analysis delivers consistent above market returns. *Richard Lie holds an Investment Adviser's Licence from ASIC and is licensed to provide general advice on securities.

What our members say ...
Just wanted to let you know that I thought your latest newsletter was a beauty.
The two things that stood out to me are:
The 'noise' out there. The economists and so called share market experts who believe they can predict the future of the market. For example Tom Scollon from Trading Tudors has been shouting out since the end of March that the market is "in a bear market rally" and that we are in for an almighty correction. Yes he may still be right. However the Stockradar people who used their stop losses/stop profits will have been making good money just following the current trend, while the others miss out.
The other matter is buying the stocks that are actually going up, instead of the Telstra's, WOW, BHP, CSL etc that have been going nowhere during this bull rally. The brokers love these companies and recommend them all the time. Why? Yes they may be great businesses and they may have great dividends but are their share prices trending. No. There are many other good companies with valid up trends making new highs, which as you point out, will make you the 'money' you are trying to achieve.
Your strategy has always been this way. I do enjoy the messages that come in your newsletter which reinforce your approach, and provide a bit of common sense to everything.
Thanks for another great article.

Stockradars combination of its Stock Pick Count combined with its unique trend measuring tool, the Trend Intensity indicator, have provided a highly useful and accurate breadth indicator of market strength and just as weakness in the Stock Pick Count in early 2007 shot a clear arrow of heightened risk through the heart of the rampaging bull market prior to the market making its ultimate high at 6851 on the 2nd of November 2007, weakness into late last year and continued erosion of qualified trends across the market early in 2010 has sent us a clear message of terminal market breadth and as long only traders capital preservation mode has been in place capitalising nicely on the extraordinary rally of 2009 while also maintaining a protective and healthy cash balance and now avoiding much of the current calamity! Uncertainty, doubt, and nerves are prevalent and despite being in a weak interest rate environment stock trends have yet to emerge as a force again and in fact those that did have been disappearing again at a fast clip. What you don’t hold is often the most important especially if prices are going down. There are however invariably some trends available to boost the coffers during these slim picking times and NWS, CPU, and RMD are such examples so why not trade them if they’re going up? I am and by focusing on stock specific trends I am able to avoid the distraction of the major market as that is only subsequent information that develops from maintaining a Stock Pick Count based on the ratio of trending stocks to those that aren’t. Despite the huge rally last year participation was slim on a trend basis as once again polarisation around the four major banks BHP, RIO, and WES drove some 75% of the gain in 2009! NWS is however rolling on and from our entry at $14.40 apparently unaware of the failings around it as the demand supply change has taken control of this stock price driving it higher to now reach level of $17.80. Look at the volume last week. Rising price and rising volume price action tells of demand and heightened odds that the price will be higher next week than it is this week.

In addition to our new Stock Picks each week Stockradar monitors on a weekly basis the status of all the stocks in our stock pool (200 approx.), including our 5 smaller portfolios of 20 stocks, with the release of Sundays Stock Pick and Trend Intensity Report. This report updates entry levels, stop loss levels, any relevant comments, and an updated Trend Intensity rating rating (TIR) is calculated for each stock. Stockradars TIR is used as a confirmation filter for price signals and assesses the trending attributes of a stock based on four simple sentiment measuring tools; trend, volume, moving average, and price momentum indication.
