Swing Trading with PowerRatings: Microsoft Buys Skype. Should You Buy Microsoft?
Traders and investors find themselves facing questions like this almost every day. Whether it’s a major acquisition as in ^MSFT^ and its $8.5 billion deal to buy internet communications pioneer Skype or just an unexpected earnings announcement, every trader knows that news can be the catalyst for a major move in a stock.
But knowing that there might be a major move isn’t enough – not when your hard-earned trading capital is at risk. What you want as a trader or investor is a reliable guide that has held up over the years, a guide that has been through all the big events of the past decade.
And not just the big events in business, but world events as well. When was the best time to buy and trade growth stocks after the bear market in 2008? When was the best time to buy and trade energy stocks in 2010, after months of underperformance in crude oil?
For a growing number of traders, PowerRatings is that guide. Based on quantitative analysis and a massive database of simulated trades going back more than a decade, PowerRatings show traders when a stock has moved to a level from which, historically speaking, it has tended to make significant short term gains.
