Comtex News Network, Inc., a leading provider of economically useful electronic real-time news, content and exclusive SmarTrend® market products, today announced the beta launch of the new and enhanced SmarTrend Version OWL. OWL is the new version of its popular online stock trend alert product.

"As a leading provider of real-time content for investors, we're excited that our new SmarTrend Version OWL offers active stock market investors a more optimized workflow tool to view their Watchlist, top performing trends, provide insight into what stocks other SmarTrend users are following along with company level information in one place. This new version of our stock trend alert software provides unparalleled information, superior technology and flexibility in every market environment, all focused on maximizing profits for customers," said Chip Brian, President and CEO of Comtex.

The new SmarTrend Version OWL has leading edge dashboard technology that includes all key functions in one convenient place. Users can see the status of all stocks they are following and get alerted the moment a new trend is issued so they can react quickly. The enhanced dashboard shows the direction the market is trending based on the number of stocks that are in an UPTREND vs. DOWNTREND: users can instantly see a snapshot of any stock with the Company Snapshot functionality and which stocks are performing best this week.

In addition to the new dashboard, SmarTrend Version OWL offers new, superior interactive charts with the ability to perform in-depth chart analysis with technical indicator overlays. Those in the SmarTrend community will also have the ability to see which stocks are most watched/traded as well as the comments on news stories giving users access to new trading ideas, technical analytics, and tips.

The expanded News section has many upgrades with the added benefit of video market news on SmarTrend TV (www.youtube.com/user/TradeTheTrend). Other new benefits for investors include market summaries with real-time streaming data and charts, company snapshots, and summaries of trend changes and stocks to watch since the last log-in.
