I am a long-time individual investor with an engineering degree and an MBA. I worked in aerospace-defense for 15 years and have spent the last decade or so working for a large financial services firm. This academic, work and investing background helps me cast an informed eye on tech stocks, the stock market and the economy and also provides the skills needed to write the software that supports the various parts of the site. I write the Trade Radar blog to help individual investors learn more about the following: Issues affecting the high technology industry and the Internet What's going on with selected tech stocks and Internet stocks Characteristics of ProShares ETFs and insights into how they work Technical analysis of indexes, tech stocks and ProShares ETFs The impact of macro-economic developments on the technology industry I have developed the rest of the Trade Radar site to provide individual investors free tools for investing and investment analysis. For example: We provide access to lists of stock alerts that have been gathered by scanning all the stocks on the NYSE, the AMEX and the NASDAQ. This is something that is typically only available to institutional investors or those individual investors who sign up for paid newsletters or expensive web site access. Trade Radar provides this investing information free of charge. We provide a free download of the Trade Radar software, an easy to use application for Windows PCs that performs several kinds of analysis on user selected stocks or ETFs and generates Go-NoGo-Caution readings for a number of different technical and fundamental indicators. We provide our list of the best free online investing sites and categorize them by function and usefulness. Many aspects of this site were developed because I thought they would be valuable to use for myself. I hope you find them interesting and useful, too.
