Stock Metadata

Smart investors and traders are constantly aware of the information available from stock market history. In addition to understanding and interpreting stock charts, they know

• Where to find accurate and timely stock market news and analyst opinions
• The best sites for up-to-date stock quotes and stock market results
• Where to find the best sources of stock charts as well as how to understand and interpret them, and
• How to take advantage of stock metadata when trading and investing.

SMK’s Bulls with Bears page has as its main focus the topic of stock metadata. There are 5 different metadata reports on publicly-traded companies available there. A different stock is featured every day, Monday through Friday.

The Bulls with Bears page also contains detailed descriptions of all its metadata reports and talks about strategies for using stock metadata. Because the techniques used only consist of adding, subtracting and counting, this concept is easy to understand.

If obvious price and/or volume-of-shares-traded discrepancies exist which lead to suspicions of insider trading activity, the possibility exists that these things can be seen in metadata reports

Statistically speaking, stock metadata can show the time of the day when the highest and lowest prices for stocks are reached, the time of the day when the highest and lowest number of shares are traded, and more.

It also can help to spot trends and patterns. For example, if the stock closes near its high for the day, what happens to the price during the next day’s first half hour of trading.

With stock metadata available to you, it reduces or even eliminates the need to rely on another person’s opinion to guide your stock market transactions. It takes some work but you can also prepare your own stock metadata. Simply copy the format of any of the existing reports and you’re good to go.

Any Site Problems?

Quality control is important to us. Every day, SMK adds new keywords and their corresponding non-SMK links. We also continuously scrutinize sites in our portfolio. Doing so ensures that all links to non-SMK sites will always contain pertinent information about any keyword of interest to our visitors.

But as non-SMK sites are not under our control, their content can change. If you spot this condition, we want to know. For example, if you’re going through one of the non-SMK links for a keyword and it no longer works properly or the topic is no longer covered by that non-SMK site, tell us. We’ll fix this problem immediately.

Please tell us if there are any non-SMK sites you’d like to see included for any of the keywords in the list. Furthermore, tell us if you have other potential keywords to add. They can be related to online brokers, the stock market, stock market history, stock prices, stock market results, stock charts, stock sectors, terms like stock trader and insider trading, or in fact, any other market-related keywords that you’d like to see added to SMK’s portfolio.
