PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 31, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Chaikin Stock Research, creator of a suite of stock tools that empower individuals to invest like the pros, today announces the launch of its popular stock market app for Android smart phones. The Chaikin Power Tools app, which can be downloaded for free from the Android Marketplace, has much of the functionality of the popular Chaikin Power Tools iPhone app, which currently has >17,000 users analyzing and trading stocks from their iPhone.
The centerpiece of both apps is the Chaikin Power Gauge Rating, an unbiased 20-factor model that analyzes complex financial information about a stock and presents it in a simple green or red display so investors can quickly identify the winners and avoid the losers. Insights that would take days to research and analyze are available in an instant. The Power Gauge is an essential tool for novice to experienced investors, looking for reliable and actionable stock analysis.
"Investing in the stock market has reached a new level with the traditional investor/broker relationship being replaced by Internet and mobile trading. More and more, self-directed investors need access to tools previously available only to professionals," said Marc Chaikin, CEO of Chaikin Stock Research. "Our Android stock app provides just that -- it is a powerful tool for investors who are looking for simple, yet accurate and actionable stock research, based on real market conditions. We now offer our tools to mobile users on the two most popular platforms globally -- Android and iOS."
Features of Chaikin Power Tools Android app include:
Create a watchlist of up to 20 stocks -- prices are updated by the minute
Intraday and six-month charts, which include the Chaikin Money Flow Indicator and historical Chaikin Power Gauge Ratings
Fundamental data
Chaikin Power Gauge rating for each stock on your watchlist so you can quickly identify the winners and losers in your portfolio
Intuitive green/red displays, which makes stock analysis fast and easy
The Chaikin Power Gauge is based on a 20-factor stock rating model which has been back tested and proven successful at identifying stocks which will out- or under-perform the market. The model was created by Marc Chaikin, a forty year Wall Street veteran and recognized expert in developing computerized stock selection models for professional money managers and individual investors.
Chaikin Power Tools app for Android smart phones is available as a free download in the Android Marketplace: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ChaikinPowerTools . At launch the app is supported on devices with a screen size of 480 x 800. Users with large, new HD screens will not be able to download the app in the Android Marketplace during the first several weeks after launch. OS 2.2+ is supported.
In addition, Chaikin Power Tools apps are available as free downloads for iPhone, desktop widget or Web widget. Chaikin Power Gauge Reports are available on a subscription basis. All products are available from http://www.chaikinpowertools.com .
