Outlook estimates are based on MACD indicators.
Relative strength is calculated in the broader industry (or sector).

Our reports use comprehensive multi-level analysis with a sub-industry/industry/sector bottom-up approach. The Reports differ from traditional across-industries comparison reports that show the past performance only. We include the future trends based on a wide range of technical signals that were computed for related industries and sectors. By aggregating industries and computing all technicals we implicitly take into account and reveal the action of the big market players that have an influence on the market.

Technical and Industry Analysis Reports will help you avoid the 5 common mistakes made by traders:

* Betting on a weakening stock in the industry. You will see the relative strength of your stock and find out how it changes over time.

Open pages 3 - 4 and learn how your stock is strengthening (or weakening) against the related industry. Even more, find out how strong the industry is in its sector. Remember that the strength usually fluctuates. Do not ignore the strength changes.


* Ignoring the evidence that the market is showing you. The reports include an extensive set of technical indicators for daily and weekly charts. You won't miss anything.

Open page 5 and find at-a-glance all the most widely used technical indicators with the signals they generate. There is no need to analyze charts. It is already done.


* Fighting an industry trend. We will show you how the strength/weakness of the trend in a stock's related industry/sector.

Open pages 7-18 and look through all technicals for the related sub-industry, industry and sector. This "bottom-up" approach will help you to avoid very risky situations when you go against the industry trend. The "Big Boys" play the "industry rotation game", and you should be aware of it.


* Ignoring all other potential picks in the industry. You will see all technicals for other companies in the same industry and sub-industry. It will help you to double-check your choice and select another, more attractive pick if necessary.

Open pages 6 and 12 and find our Check Lists with the key technical for other stocks (trend setters, best and worst performers) in the related industry and sector.


* Incorrect chart interpretation. You don't need to waste you time to analyze the charts and yet get it wrong. OptionSmart gives you the true picture at-a-glance for you to make the right decision.
