After very good weekend, we are here to continue the Sargels Toolbar's review. We got some nice feedbacks about our last reviews and about the fact that we clear and explain the toolbar's categories and sources. We hope you all share the same feeling about this service and about Sargels Toolbar. If you want to say something about Sargels Toolbar or in general, feel free to contact us. Now for business- reviewing. This post deals with the US indexes issue. Need to say that 'U.S. - Indices' sub-button is a simple one, applying the relevant information in a clean and clear view, with no special sophisticated ingredients. The fisrt source is the MSN Money US Key Indices page, which gives you a breif view on the major US indexes and major Sectors indexes as well. This clear view makes the indices snapshot fast and easy. The next six sources comes from Yahoo! Finance: Dow Jones, S&P, Nasdaq, NYSE, Other Indices and Treasury. All these sources are snapshots view based on Index families (as noted upwards), meaning you get in each page the major indexes of the Dow Jones family of indexes, S&P indexes' family and so on. The NASDAQ Index Performance is a NASDAQ group's page delivers a list of all the NASDAQ indexes, sorted by seperated columns. All the NASDAQ indices are available in this list. The next source is NYSE Indices, which gives you all a full list of NYSE indices, plus NYSE Arca Indices and US Indices. Both NASDAQ Index Performance and NYSE Indices gives an in depth details about each index connected, including details, changes, components, methodology, download possibility (for research uses) and more. The S&P U.S. Indices source shows a table of all the S&P family of indices and their fully detailed factsheet and methdology. This source contains all the information needed to be fully known with S&P Indexes. Dow Jones Averages Gives you a well viewed website containing all the information related to the Dow Jones indices family, including enhanced components list (with abilities to set time frame, action, dividend data related to the index components), comulative return for each index, performance, fundamentals, statistics and much more information to stay up to date concerning D.J. Indices.
Because the major indices are the most covered, the sources are more focused on these elements, from any aspect possible,and less on the insignificant ones. Right now we are thinking about adding additional indices and indices families. We will update you as changes will be made. Here we finish this post. In the next one we will review the U.S. Additional Stats sub-button so stay tuned, it is always interesting.

'Markets' Button- 'U.S. - Indices'

We started the review of the sub-button 'U.S. Capital Markets News' in the last post and here we'll finish reviewing it. Bloomberg News - Economy Gives you all the stories related to the U.S. economy. The articles in this webpage are crucial to whom macro economics plays a significant role, as the Bloomberg reporters usually updated this section with important news. The Reuters M&A News gives you access to all the latest updates that involve the M&A scene, latest group that talks M&A's and also updates about earlier M&A events which were covered. As you probably remember, we already delivered information about Mergers (click here to see the post covers this issue: Yahoo! Finance Mergers). The different between these two sources is that the one on Yahoo! Finance Mergers you get the figures and number concerning M&A issues but on Reuters M&A News you get the news behind these events. On Reuters Upcoming IPOs you can check all the news concerned the IPO market and events. This IPO subject was covered already in the same place we covered the mergers issue (check the link upward), but again, the difference between those two sources comes to expression in the facts that the source on 'Information Centers' (Yahoo! Finance IPO Calendar) is a calendar including dates for IPO events, while on Reuters Upcoming IPOs you get the news behind the IPO area. Reuters Regulatory News is a source for regultory issues, government events concerning economics and U.S. regulation topics. Yahoo! Finance Earning News delivers in one page, public companies earnings updates from several financial news agencies. Again, although we did cover an issue of earnings (Yahoo! Finance US Earning Calendar), it was a calendar of earnings updates expected, while this source brings the news behinds these events and other news as well.
Here this sub-button is over, after we coverd in two posts all the sources it contains.
Next post will deal with much more familar issue: Indices. S&P, NASDAQ, Dow Jones, NYSE and more, in the upcoming post.
Until then, as always, don't forget to share us, to join us on LinkedIn's Sargels Group, to meet us @ twitter and of course, comment on our posts.

'Markets' Button- 'Information Centers' : 2nd Part

As part of the 'financial discussions' we promised to publish from time to time (check the last blog: ''Who are Sargels Team?' and other questions'), we want to share with you the interesting article on the FT: 'Bullion sales hit record in rush to safety'. It's a fascinating article discussing the fact that investors, mostly private ones, don't believe anymore in the regular (sophisticated) financial markets and prefer more and more to transfer their funds into something that from the dawn of days classified as a tradisional safe haven for turbulence days. This kind of onrush to haven of rest describe best the fact that most of the investors think it would be prudent to own some Gold in the portfolio in order to hedge the risk that the fed's aggressive actions sparks inflation. As an increment We also attached a chart that describe the Distribution of Gold Demand (under the auspices of optionarmageddon.com). As for your opinion about this behavior, we would like to hear about it so feel free to comment on the post.
As always, share us and help us spread the word of Sargels Toolbar Solution.
