Naval Air Systems Command has awarded a $52 million contract to Raytheon (NYSE:RTN) company to produce APG-79 Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radars for F/A-18 Super Hornet tactical aircraft. These AESA radars provide the U.S. Navy with the most advanced technology available, including enhanced capabilities that allow aircrews to detect and identify targets beyond the reach of most missiles.

The Deliveries are expected to begin in October 2012. Friday 7 January Raytheon (NYSE:RTN)’s Andover facility has been named Industry Week's ‘Best Plant’.

The annual competition evaluates manufacturing facilities in multiple categories, including quality, on-time delivery, worker safety and focus on continuous improvement, which will increase competitiveness and customer satisfaction. Dan Ryan, vice president of Operations and Integrated Supply Chain at Raytheon (NYSE:RTN) Integrated Defense Systems said that, “Continuous improvement is an on-going journey for us. Our philosophy is everybody, everyday – ideas from across all areas of the operation are essential for us to continue to increase our efficiency and capacity while maintaining our quality.” We’ll be keeping a close eye on the Raytheon stock level for developments over the next few weeks.

Exactly one month ago yesterday, I reported on ways to invest in the Beatles through companies related to the Beatles and their songs. Several stocks were mentioned in the article, including Apple (AAPL), Starbucks (SBUX), Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. (LYV), and Sony (SNE), along with several other companies. If you had invested an equal dollar amount in each of those companies, your account would be up as of yesterday’s close, by an amazing 11.7% in only one month. If you invested that same total amount in the S&P 500 (to give an apples to apple comparison – no pun intended), your account would only be up by only 4.15%. So the Beatles Stock Index outperformed S&P 500 by an amazing 7.5 percentage points! You would have achieved almost twice the return from ‘buying the Beatles.’ For a list of all the stocks in the Beatles portfolio , which can be downloaded, sorted, and updated, go to WallStreetNewsNetwork.com.

It’sofficially now a private party at the Playboy Mansion. Playboy Enterprises (NYSE: PLA ) has agreed to a $207 million buyout by a group led by founder Hugh Hefner. That means Playboy will no longer be a publicly traded stock, and no longer have to air as much of its dirty laundry for the rest of the world to see. What's more if Hefner's move failed the bunny brand it could have fallen into the hands of a Playboy rival, the company that owns and operates Penthouse magazine. Here are the details: Hef originally offered up $5.50 a share for the company, but Penthouse owner FriendFinder Networks Inc. offered to acquire the company for $210 million. That prompted Playboy's founder to go back to the drawing board – now ponying up $6.15 a share for the company, an 18% premium over current valuations that Penthouse operators (or anyone else) likely won't outbid. Unfortunately, the fact that Playboy remains under Hefner's stewardship and that company leadership will remain largely unchanged could be a problem for fans of the magazine. The company in November posted a wider third-quarter loss on one-time charges, will be lucky to break even in the fourth quarter and hasn't posted a full-year profit since 2007. Playboy executives contend it is turning a corner after diversifying away from the "adult content" that was its bread and butter for so long. For instance, in the summer Playboy launched a safe for work website , called TheSmokingJacket.com. There is also plenty of merchandising to connect with consumers when it comes to that famous bunny logo. By taking the company private, Hefner & Co. can continue to diversify Playboy – and not worry about the steady drumbeat of quarterly earnings reports or answering to shareholders. As a private company, the bunny brand can restructure without as much scrutiny or public criticism. Yet it's hard to think that Hefner is acting as an investor here instead of the patriarch of an enterprise he built from scratch starting with the first edition in 1953. The man who literally mortgaged his furniture to print that first issue isn't likely to see the buyout as a dollars and cents issue. So while Playboy fans may take solace in the fact that the company has gotten a second chance with Hefner and the group he leads, Icon Acquisition Holdings, it's not the end of the story. If Playboy can't return to profitability soon it doesn't matter who's at the helm of this sinking ship. Jeff Reeves is editor of InvestorPlace.com.

Mortgage interest rates dipped and this is good news for those potential home buyers that are out there sitting on the fence. Interest rates fell lower as the 30 year and 15 year fixed rates fell. However, with the recent trends moving in a positive direction, potential borrowers were worried that the trend directionality would remain positive and that the lower rates were history. Still at relative low levels, current interest rates for long term mortgage loans just dropped. A week ago, the last weekly benchmark posting from bankrate for 30 year fixed rate mortgages moved higher to 4.96% which was an increase of 4 basis points. The national average posted by bankrate for a 15 year fixed rate mortgage was 4.29% which was an increase of 8 basis points. More recent posts from bankrate show the long term rates dropping. According to bankrate, the most recent data reveals that the benchmark 30-year FRM dropped 8 basis points to 4.94%. The 15 year benchmark fixed rate mortgage fell 7 basis points to 4.32 percent. One year ago, the mortgage index was 5.26% and four weeks ago the index was at 4.89 percent. The fixed rate mortgage trends for the 30 year and the 15 year are both positive since November. Rates have been on a relative incline trend and the current dip appears to be just a fluctuation in the upward trends. Author: Stephen Johnson

Current Long Positions (stop-losses in parentheses): BZ ( 7.95 ), MI (6.77), MWV (26.08), Current Short Positions (stop-losses in parentheses): None BIAS: 21% Long Economic Reports Due Out (Times are EST) : None My Observations and What to Expect: Futures are showing moderate strength heading into the open. Asian and European markets are both showing weakness in trading today. S&P 500 setting up to open at or below the 10-day moving average, which is something that hasn’t occurred during the duration of this rally going back to Dec. 1. Should we trade below 10-day moving average, the next area of support to watch is 20-day moving average. A break below 1251 would represent a “lower-low” in the market, and would greatly enhance the bearish cause going forward. Volume was fairly steady and slightly above average last week. Dip buying always is a strong possibility, even on days where the market is setting up for a strong push downwards. Be very careful when initiating new short positions in the afternoon, as that tends to be the best time for dip-buying to start ramping up. Hanging-Man candle pattern on the S&P 500 Friday could be an early indication that bullish enthusiasm may be waning in the short-term, and could bring forth some additional selling. 1276-8 is representative of the higher-high in this rally, and is providing short-term resistance. The more long-term trend-line dating back to Sept. 1 currently has support at 1234. For the bears — At the very least close the day below the 10-day moving average — ideally below Friday’s lows. For the bulls — Need to see some dip buying come in and support this market — close above the 10-day moving average, but by no means lose the 20-day moving average. Here Are The Actions I Will Be Taking : Unlikely to add any new long positions to the portfolio today, unless the market rebounds off of the lows. May initiate at least one short position if the market weakness persists throughout the day. Raised the stop-loss in Boise (NYSE: BZ ). Closed out Dean Foods (NYSE: DF ) on Friday at an average price of $9.66 (8.2% gain), Genco Shipping & Trading (NYSE: GNK ) at $14.90 (.9% gain), and LSI Corp. (NYSE: LSI ) at $6.05 (1.5% loss). Day-traded ProShares Ultra S&P 500 (NYSE: SSO ) off of the 10-day moving average on Friday for a 1% gain. Follow me in the SharePlanner Chat-Room today for all my live trades and ideas.

The Dow Jones Industrials ended the first week of 2011 in the red. The stock market today will work towards rebounding from the lower composite index levels that ended the first week of trading in 2011. Specifically, the Dow Jones ended the day in the red by .19% and settled at 11,674.76. Stock Market indexes were lower. The Nasdaq ended the session lower by .25% and settled at 2,703.17. The S&P 500 ended in the red as well by .18% and ended the last trading session in the US at 1,271.50. The week ended with the government posting that the national unemployment rate dropped from 9.8% to 9.4% and overall, the stock market ended the week with gains. On Monday this week, there will be little by way of trend moving economic reports. The Commerce Department will report on Tuesday. It will release its wholesale inventories report in the early a.m. and this post is expected to be positive. On Wednesday, the morning will be filled with posts regarding import and export prices and weekly crude oil inventories are due this morning as well. The Federal Reserve’s Beige Book report is due out in the afternoon as is a post relaying the December Treasury budget. Thursday, as often is the case, will be the busiest day for economic posts. The Department of Labor will be presenting the weekly jobless claims report in the morning and the number of Americans that are filling for first time unemployment benefits is expected to have risen. The Producer Price index is also due out from the Commerce Department this day as well. The Commerce Department will also post the trade balance which is expected to have widened. Friday, the Commerce Department will post the Consumer Price Index. The Commerce Department will also post reports on retail sales, which analysts expect to reveal gains. Later, the University of Michigan’s consumer sentiment index for January will post. It is expected to have risen as well. Currently, stocks are positioned to open lower. Prior to opening bell for January 10th, 2011, stock futures are indicating red trending. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down by .23% and the Nasdaq and S&P 500 are in red territory as well. Since there are no major economic posts slated for today, positive trending may be difficult to reach this day. Author: Frank Matto

No matter how you explain the price of stocks to someone, a majority of investors still believe that low priced stocks are a better way to go and can provide a better rate of return. Obviously, some low priced stocks do perform better than some high priced stocks. But in general, a good stock will perform just as well if it is priced like Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-A) A shares as a lower priced stock like Ford (F) which traded below $2 a share in 2009. WallStreetNewsNetwork.com just updated its list of top yielding stocks under $10 a share (it also includes a couple that trade for round $11 per share). Many of the companies listed are closed end funds, such as the Dreyfus High Yield Strategies Fund (DHF), which sports a yield of 11.6% and the Western Asset High Income Fund II Inc. (HIX), which pays out 10.9%. But there are also regular corporations, such as Alaska Communications (ALSK) which provides landline and wireless services to Sarah Palin’s state. The stock sells for around $10 per share, has a forward price to earnings ratio of 37, and pays a yield of 7.8%. The company reports earnings on March 4. Another example is Hercules Technology (HTGC) which is a private equity, venture capital, and venture debt firm. It sells for less than $11 per share, has a forward PE of 9.8, and pays a yield of 7.4%. Provident Energy (PVX) processes, transports, stores, and markets natural gas liquids in the United States and Canada. It sells for slightly more than $8 per share, has a forward PE of 17, and yields 8.8%. For a list of over 15 stocks that pay a yield over 6% and sell for less than $10 per share, go to wsnn.com. Just remember, very high yields may not be sustainable. Disclosure: Author didn’t own any of the above at the time the article was written. By Stockerblog.com
