Immediately upon logging-in to Chaikin Analytics, subscribers are presented with the new, built-in Alerts View, which puts timely information at subscriber's fingertips every morning before the market opens. The Alerts View displays the day's most relevant, actionable information for stocks on a user's watchlist, including Chaikin Buy/Sell Signals, Chaikin Power Gauge Alerts, Earnings Surprises and Estimate Revision Alerts. These Signals and Alerts help the investor decide which stocks to buy or sell that day.

Also included in v1.3 is an on-demand Portfolio Health Check, updated weekly on ANY list in the subscriber's workstation. Previously, Portfolio Health Check was only available for the user's MyStocks List. With Chaikin Analytics, the user can create multiple lists, including one for each client's stock portfolio, or for groups of stocks being followed, and create a Portfolio Health Check on any of these lists, or on any of the pre-loaded lists, such as the DOW30, NASDAQ100, S&P500, Dividend Champs, among others.

Portfolio Health Check is Chaikin's proprietary analysis of the strengths and risks in any stock portfolio. Generated instantly, it's the only analysis that shows where a portfolio is headed 3-6 months out. Updated weekly, Portfolio Health Check presents in easy-to-read displays:

• What's ahead for the stocks and industry groups in each portfolio/list;
• An at-a-glance display of each list's strongest stocks in the strongest industry groups, and the weakest stocks in the weakest industry groups;
• Specific ideas for swapping out weak stocks and industry groups for strong;
• Each week's earnings surprises, estimate revisions, gainers and losers, news sentiment and more.

The core of Chaikin Analytics is the Chaikin Power Gauge, a proven alpha model that combines twenty technical and fundamental factors, analyzed and distilled into a simple Bullish or Bearish rating. The Power Gauge was independently back-tested on ten years of data and proven effective. Since inception, the Power Gauge has continued to successfully identify both strong and weak stocks, consistently out-performing the S&P 500.

Developed by long-time analyst and Wall Street veteran Marc Chaikin and the same team that created one of the most successful real-time analytics workstations for professional money managers and traders, Chaikin Analytics combines the Power Gauge with the Chaikin Trend and Relative Strength Indicators and Chaikin's time-tested Indicators, Money Flow and Bands, to deliver a superior decision support tool users can overlay on their own methodology or use to generate new ideas.

Chaikin Analytics also features 6 pairs of Buy/Sell Signals, which help investors identify low-risk exit and entry points for stocks. In-depth stock research reports, updated daily, are available from any of 5,000 stocks.

"In combination, all these features are designed to facilitate a reliable buy/sell decision on any of the 5,000 stocks we cover quickly and efficiently," said Marc Chaikin, CEO and Founder of Chaikin Analytics. "We've combined powerful decision-making tools with ease of use and mobility of access, meeting the demand of traditional portfolio managers, hedge fund managers, investment advisors, full-service brokers, RIAs and self-directed investors. Now, investors can see at a glance the most important Alerts they need to make a buy/sell decision," Chaikin added.

Chaikin Analytics is currently available on the iPad and iPad Mini; a desktop browser version will be released in September. Version 1.3 is the latest addition to a suite of established stock research tools developed by Marc Chaikin for use on desktops, iPhone, iPad, iPad Mini and Android devices.
