DACS General Meeting
Meeting Review:
September 2011—Chaikin Power Tools, Dan O'Connor

By Steve Harkness

Dan O’Connor gave us an interesting presentation on the Chaikin Power Tools software for self-directed online personal investing which empowers individual investors to make better investment decisions.

Marc Chaikin is a recognized expert in stock market analysis and investment management with over 40 years of experience developing stock selection models and investment strategies. He pioneered and created the first real-time analytics workstation for portfolio managers and stock traders.  His company has developed several key software products for the investment community including the Chaikin Oscillator and Chaikin Persistency Money Flow. Marc founded Chaikin Stock Research to provide professional quality stock evaluation tools to self-directed investors. Their software provides the end user various proven investment metrics to analyze the technical and fundamental aspects of stock performance.

Dan has worked for Mark for several years and is a senior technical support person working with their professional clients and organizations to effectively use their investment tools.

The Chaikin Power Tools environment evaluates 20 different factors for a potential investment including long term debt to equity, price to book value, return on equity, price to sales volume, enterprise value (theoretical takeover price), earnings performance, 12 month price target range and many other important investment criteria. The software simplifies buy/sell decisions for a private investor by processing and evaluating a company’s up-to-date financial information and displaying the bullish, bearish and neutral aspects of a company’s stock. These factors are evaluated and provide the basis for their overall consensus and investment recommendations.

Each stock is evaluated daily by the Chaikin staff and is provided in an online synapsis covering key investment measures, analyst opinions on the firms fundamentals, earnings estimate revisions and pertinent news events that could affect the stock’s value. Chaikin Money Flow shows market momentum and its effects on each stock.  The Chaikin Power Gauge stock rating widget includes an online downloadable Power Gauge Report. Their News Sentiment Engine and a Financial Metrics Rating application provides the investor with up-to-date data to make more educated decisions for building their personal investment portfolio.

Dan demonstrated many of these stock evaluation techniques and reports available for several companies provided by the DACS audience.
