dow2664 Stock index composites in the U.S. began the trading session higher today just after opening bell. Trend lines progressively dropped lower as the initial half of the trading session moved along. Mixed economic data that posted earlier today weighed on the minds of investors and ultimately resulted in lower composite values. As the half way point in today's trading session, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, Nasdaq and S&P 500 were all trending in negative territory for the day. The positive news stemming from the Labor Department was not enough to keep index trends green earlier today. According to the Labor Department, the number of Americans making first time unemployment claims lowered by almost 30,000 in the week ended May 14th. This data represents another week of lower numbers for this particular reading. It is viewed as a positive sign regarding job and economic growth. Home sales data slid again and this pushed negatively on trend lines overall today. According to the National Association of Realtors, existing home sales dropped .8 percent in April. Economists had been anticipating more positive news from this reading and so the negatively skewed data had an even greater negative affect on the stock market today. In addition to this, the Conference Board reported today that the Leading Indicators index dropped .3 percent in April. Signs that the economy is slowing are emerging and investors are backing away from the riskier bets. The dollar index was lower today and the dollar weakened versus a basket of other currencies during today's trading sessions.

A new low-calorie soft drink is about to hit the market courtesy of Dr. Pepper Snapple Group (NYSE: DPS ), called Dr. Pepper Ten . The Plano, Tex.–based company is hoping that the newest version of its flagship soda will help it snare an underserved niche market of men diet soda drinkers. Dr. Pepper Ten, as the name suggests, is a 10-calorie per serving version of the company's flagship soda. It's made with a mix of sugar and no-calorie sweeteners, as are its recently trademarked cousins, Canada Dry Ten, 7UP Ten and A&W Ten. One might question whether another low-calorie soft drink is necessary, or better yet, stands a chance of success in the crowded diet soft drink market dominated by The Coca Cola Company (NYSE: KO ) and PepsiCo (NYSE: PEP ). Early testing suggests that it may, thanks to smart brand positioning. Dr. Pepper Snapple Group is overtly marketing the soft drinks to men who feel more comfortable ordering a low-calorie drink their wives and girlfriends don't sip on or one that their buddies won't rib them about during the game. Apparently, a man's ego gets just as much of a lift from the suggestion that it is manlier to drink a 10-calorie beverage than a zero-calorie one, as a woman's self-image benefits from eating a 10-calorie snack instead of a 50 calorie treat. But Dr. Pepper's ability to score a hit in the mid-calorie market – particularly with men – still will depend on how good the soft drink tastes. Unlike women who may substitute a poor-tasting treat for their favorite snack if it won't harm their waistline, men are less likely to give a food or beverage that doesn't capture their taste buds another try. Coke and Pepsi know this all too well from their failed offerings of Coke C2 and Pepsi Edge, respectively. So far, consumers are responding well to the extra sugar that boosts the sweetness of Dr. Pepper Ten. If that continues, Dr. Pepper Ten brands may be able to stake a claim in the area of the low-calorie beverage market that Coke and Pepsi have not. Or, it could just cannibalize the diet soda market, which still would leave Dr. Pepper, which is a distant third in terms of market share behind soft drink beverage king Coke and longtime runner up PepsiCo, with a lot to gain. As of this writing, Cynthia Wilson did not own a position in any of the stocks named here.

Life is crazy and trading is no different. Yesterday I kicked myself in the ass for my poor choices chasing SGYP and then missing my entry on the one stock I’ve been stalking for months > > > LQMT!!! The good news is some of you held SGYP and it charged right back up today higher than my entry price, go figure. The guy who recommended SGYP is the real deal, so if long is your thing it can’t hurt to follow him there. I’m a momentum trader which is why I had to exit. With very little sleep last night, I came into today planning on doing very little trading if any. Yes, trading is stressful, money comes and it goes and you need to be able to manage the swings or you’ll go nuts. So I started my day like I always do with some LIVE Updates and a basic watch list blog post. Then off to my EquityFeed tool to find some potential trades for the day. Honestly this tool is often better than any watch list I can create because it identifies ideas before the herd hears about them. If you have not watched my morning routine, I suggest you watch this video . I used that tool to find my winning trades today, ZOOM 6% on news, HDY 21% on news and MOBI 13% on second green day squeeze. I didn’t even trade them well and I still locked in $1,879 in profits using this simple strategy. Does it always work, no… honestly I thought I missed on ZOOM and then it took off later in the day. What it does do is get you in before the herd, the trick is finding stocks that aren’t going to sell off on news and usually the chart will show you that. Now I couldn’t text all those trades because Trumpia only allows so much information in each text, which is why I thought and email was the best way to get everyone not in chat the information quickly. Having said all that, here is what I have heading into tomorrow, a lot has changed. I dumped my 2k ANIK at $7.60, honestly couldn’t stand looking at it anymore and hate to tie up $16k on a stock that’s doing nothing right now. I think I lost over $1k total but I’ll know for sure when I do my upload. Taking that loss taught me yet another lesson so it’s worth it if I don’t repeat the mistake, I don’t go into details right now. I added 5k LOCM on the dip today like I said I would at $3.39 so my new average is 10k shares at $3.57 which, after the run today brought me back to even for the most part. Looks to me like the shorts are starting to cover so I’m hoping we see a massive squeeze between now and Friday’s close. Still riding all of my GSTP and I have plenty of patience on this one. The ‘E’ was dropped today which is a great sign, now I’ll look for it to get going again. I basically have 3 blocks of shares, 25k per block. Challenge account at $.13 and main account at $.21 and $.12. Trading picked up today which is a good sign, now I hope to see it head back up the charts. Finally, into the close I grabbed another ‘GSTP’ type play, CLNO, but I’m hoping to see it pay off sooner than GSTP is based on the chart. I grabbed 30k shares at $.21 and I’m hoping to get a quick 10% on it should it continue tomorrow or Friday. If you want to know where I get the dirt on stocks like CLNO, click here … it’s a very very useful tool if you have time to dig through the bs.

Is there a real debt crisis in the U.S., and if so, can it be traded? The answer to the first question is yes and no, and the second is yes and maybe. Was I clear? No? OK, here goes. Keep in mind there are always opportunities for profit for options trading investors. IS THERE A REAL DEBT CRISIS? YES . Congress, specifically the newer members of the Republican Party, are threatening to hold up approval of an increase in the debt limit for Uncle Sam until there are meaningful plans put in place to cut spending. Not cut the deficit but cut spending. After all, they say taxes are off the table. I am not going to get into politics, but the discussions that include statements the debt ceiling should not be raised and it is "OK" if the US "temporarily" defaults on its sovereign debt are criminal. A default by the US — this would happen if we couldn't borrow enough to pay off past obligations that come due this summer — would make the post-Lehman crash in 2008 look like a bull market. A real default would cut stock indices by at least two thirds – an S&P 500 down as low as 400; it is 1340 and change right now. NO . I believe there is a one in 10,000 chance this will happen. Speaker of the House John Boehner is a grown up, unlike many of his members, and is letting his newer members speak, and pandering to them for now, but he understands what would happen. That being said, he is going to play chicken far longer than I and anyone should prefer. FACTS: The theoretical date things get terrible is the first week of August — and the thing to watch is the interest rates on new 30-day bonds issued in July, although Treasury may try to avoid doing this. The political class is now so used to fomenting crises for C-SPAN and fund raising they may take this out too close to the end game for comfort. You think not? The TARP did not pass the first time around — the market fell more than 800 points in a few nanoseconds — and the TARP passed Congress right after that. This would be far more dramatic. CAN YOU TRADE THIS? MAYBE . I believe the debt ceiling will be raised and the potential for trading this nonsense is based on how much Congress "plays chicken" with the debt ceiling. This trade is already taking shape, and is based on movements in interest rates — a crisis will spark in an increase in interest rates and that will hit the value of existing bonds. So "maybe" means the ceiling will be raised but the trade is in the buildup to Congressional action. YES . If you believe the game of chicken will go too far and want to trade the buildup to what would be a real crisis, you need to look at options on ETFs for bonds and precious metals. (You should probably be long precious metals anyway given the short-, mid- and long-term state of the world). Here's what will move as we near the deadline. The ProShares UltraShort 20+ Year Treasury (NYSE: TBT ) — this is a double inverse ETF that goes up, theoretically, 2% every time the value of the 20-year U.S. bond goes down 1%. You can buy call options on this ETF. Do not do this now, just be prepared to do so. The iShares Barclays 20+ Year Treasury Bond (NYSE: TLT ) — the TLT is the long side ETF for 20-year bonds that goes up 1% every time the value of bonds goes up 1%. You can buy put options on this puppy. Less volatile and speculative than the TBT. The SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE: GLD ) and the iShares Silver Trust (NYSE: SLV ) — These are the ETFs for gold and silver, the safe havens when crises hit, and there ain't going to be a bigger one than a US debt default. The call options are very liquid. I own SLV outright and sell covered calls against it. If you do any of this, play options no sooner than September. Find here a list of bond funds. What to do? The real trade is the build up to a crisis when you can play the game of chicken. But, if for some reason Congress loses its mind, refuses to raise the debt ceiling and the US defaults on its bonds, it's early retirement for all of us.

Mindspeed Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: MSPD ) is the best tech stock to buy in 2011 . MSPD stock is up 39% since January 1 and going strong. I recommend investors continue to buy this fabless semiconductor stock, since these gains are only the beginning. Mindspeed recently reported strong earnings that beat analysts' estimates, earning $0.01 vs. estimates for break-even, and also trounced revenue expectations, with sales of $38.6 million, compared with analysts' forecasts of $37.99 million. Here are some of the highlights of the company's fiscal second quarter: Product revenue increased 1% compared with last year’s quarter and was higher than estimated. Non-GAAP gross margin increased to 63.1% from 62.6%. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share came in at $0.01, better than expected. Cash and cash equivalents were healthy at $44.9 million at the end of the quarter. Although the industry cleaned out excess inventory, which put a damper on new production, MSPD managed to perform better than the estimates for both revenues and profits. And Mindspeed sees continued improvement, particularly in optical access, optical transport, optical infrastructure and 4G wireless markets, forecasting third-quarter revenue between $41.3 million and $42.8 million, higher than analysts’ estimates of $40.5 million. And I have to tell you that the markets were very pleased with this report, giving the shares a boost, which was supported by an upgrade to “buy” by analysts at Needham & Company. Needham said it made the upgrade, based on strength in the WAN Communications business (which makes optical communication products), and greater demand from China. In other Mindspeed news, the company announced that its Chief Financial officer (CFO) Bret Johnsen resigned effective May 6. MSPD appointed Kristen Schmidt, executive director, finance, as its interim CFO and now is beginning an immediate search for a permanent replacement. Johnsen is going to work as CFO for a private company outside of the semiconductor industry. I see no reason to be concerned with this announcement; this is most likely just a better opportunity for Johnsen. The company is progressing very nicely toward our goal, and this quarter's numbers reflect a very positive trend for Mindspeed's sector. Check out the other FREE stock picks that make up InvestorPlace.com's Top 10 Stocks for 2011.

Worries are starting to invade the minds of Wall Street investors and more money was positioned with safe haven assets yesterday due to these fears. Precious metals gold and silver price trends moved higher throughout the day and closed in the green. It has been some time since contract gold and silver both had a positive close and the economic fears that persist are supporting this action. Analysts are lowering their growth expectations and some are expecting earning potentials to drop as well. The closure of QE2 is nearing, come the end of June, and many worry what will come of our economic growth process at that time. Recent losses in the housing sector are throwing up red flags as well. This uncertainty can initiate interest in safe haven metals gold and silver. Yesterday’s contract close was higher for both metals. Gold contract for June delivery closed higher by 14.70 at 1495.80 and July silver finished higher by 1.606 at 35.10. Spot gold and spot silver rates continued to travel in positive territory after session close and during the interval between yesterday’s close and today’s open. Just prior to today’s opening bell in the U.S. for open market trading, spot gold and spot silver were mixed however. Spot silver per kilo was higher by 14.66 at 1142.96. Spot silver per ounce was higher .46 at 35.55. Spot gold though was trending lower. Spot gold per kilo was lower by 73.95 at 48010.71 and spot gold per gram was red by .07 at 48.01. Could this trend be related to those investors worried over the recent gold sell off. Was the positive action yesterday just a hiccup or will precious yellow metal investing rally. trends today will help us make that determination. Author: Camiilo Zucari

It's CBOE Volatility Index (CBOE: VIX ) Expiration Day tomorrow (VIX-piration?). That means the May options and futures in VIX cash out on Wednesday’s opening settlement price. All sorts of individual stocks and commodities look incredibly ugly lately, but the volatility backdrop looks pretty … eh … right now. Here’s the S&P 500 Index Options (CBOE: SPX ) 30-day implied volatility vversus 20-day historical volatility. Options have carried a pretty consistent four-to-five volatility-point premium over the volatility of SPX itself. Which is pretty much normal, especially with volatility in general at non-exceptional levels. So in other words, this recent ugliness under the surface has caused only a modest lift in historical volatility and a perfectly in-line lift in options premiums. VIX futures haven’t moved much either. Here’s how the board looked on yesterday’s close. Basically, VIX rose a bit, but futures barely budged. June now carries a scant .70 premium. What’s more, the curve is not particularly steep as the outer-month cycles carry under $5, down from premiums in the $7-$10 range. It all says that there’s not a real "Fear" spike just yet in Big Cap stocks. None of this would be at all interesting or noteworthy if we didn’t have volatility coursing through other asset classes. Hhistorical volatility in the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE: GLD ) has doubled in the past few weeks, albeit from a low base. The iShares Silver Trust (NYSE: SLV ) volatility has quadrupled. What’s more, 10-Day HV in the iShares Russell 2000 Index (NYSE: IWM ) has lifted from seven to 20 in the last month. If you anticipate any of this spilling over into VIX World, the iPath S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN (NYSE: VXX ) and the iPath S&P 500 VIX Mid-Term Futures ETN (NYSE: VXZ ) look OK here. With premiums muted in the VIX futures, VXX will not get plowed on Contango (rolling out to maintain 30-days duration). VXZ covers four-to-seven month VIX futures and thus does not have quite the same sensitivity to VIX moves, but with premiums out there muted it looks OK as well.
