Tag & Bag

Tag & Bag is divided into three sections:

• Technical
• Fundamental
• Community

Each section comprises lists of stocks which fall into one of the categories identified as affecting price performance. We recommend getting stock ideas by starting with the list that best suits your trading style and then using information from other sections to further evaluate your picks. This system is the basis of our Three-Point Investing approach

Today's Trending Issues

Our trending section is divided into two lists: one of stocks that are trending up, and another of stocks trending down. These lists are updated every day with stocks that are just beginning to trend.

Trending Up (MACD - Bullish)

Stocks just starting to trend up according to the MACD indicator. Stocks identified here are likely to rise in price; a bullish sentiment reflects the belief that prices will tend to rise.

Trending Down (MACD - Bearish)

Stocks just starting to trend down according to the MACD indicator. (Stocks so identified are likely to fall in price; a bearish sentiment reflects the belief that prices will tend to fall.)

Today's Timing Signals

Sometimes finding trends can be much harder than finding stocks that oscillate. When you have found an oscillating stock, you can use stochastic to identify the best timing opportunities for getting in and out of long and short positions. Very occasionally, a stock enters a trend with timing reinforcement. Stochastic is a particularly useful indicator when a stock shows oscillating behavior.

Oversold (Stochastic - Bullish)

Issues that have entered a stochastic oversold condition. When an issue is oversold, it offers a bullish signal and presents a buying opportunity

Overbought (Stochastic - Bearish)

Issues that have entered a stochastic overbought condition. When an issue is overbought, it offers a bearish signal and presents a selling opportunity.
