Clinical Data, Inc. (NASDAQ: CLDA) Wins FDA Approval for Vilazodone to Treat Depression
Shares of Clinical Data, Inc. (NASDAQ:CLDA) climbed 56.29% and is currently trading at $23.49 after the FDA approved Clinical Data’s NDA submission for vilazodone. A Boston-based Biotech Company climbed to its new annual high of $25.35 in today's trading session, its annual low being $10.87. The stock traded with volume of 7.79 million shares compared to the daily average volume of 357,590 shares. Currently, the market capitalization of the stock stands at $703.95 million with beta of 1.61. On January 21, 2011, the FDA approved CLDA's vilazodone, a new antidepressant, as a first line therapy for major depressive disorder (MDD). The Company plans to market the new antidepressant under the brand name Viibryd. Viibryd (vilazodone), a novel, dual-acting serotonergic antidepressant, is a potent and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, or SSRI, first line therapy for major depressive disorder (MDD), and partial agonist of the 5-hydroxytryptamine 1a, or 5-HT1A, receptor. This approval is based on the results of two positive Phase 3 studies showing a significant improvement in primary endpoint of change in Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale total score at eight weeks. In addition, the Phase 3 studies also showed significant improvements in the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D-17), the Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety (HAM-A), and the Clinical Global Impressions Severity of Illness and Improvement (CGIS and CGI-I), underscoring the activity of the compound. The drug will be available in 10mg, 20mg and 40mg tablets and like all antidepressants; this will also carry a black box warning for suicidality in children and young adults. This drug has no effect on sexual function, a common side effect of many leading antidepressants. A lack of weight gain and potential fast onset are additional advantages. Clinical Data, Inc. is focused on the development and commercialization of therapeutics, with two compounds in the areas of central nervous system and cardiovascular disorders.

How to Keep Your Broker Honest
The Securities and Exchange Commission's recommendation last Friday that anyone advising retail investors adhere to one universal standard of fiduciary duty may sound esoteric to those of you who mistakenly thought it existed all along. But for years, brokers have routinely pushed stocks underwritten by their companies or mutual funds which paid the broker a revenue-sharing deal. In these cases, the broker doesn't provide objective advice to their clients, and puts their personal financial benefit ahead of any purported benefit to their client. Investment advisers, meanwhile, have been held to a higher standard by regulators. The SEC's proposed new fiduciary standard recommends that brokers "act in the best interest of the customer without regard to the financial or other interest of the broker, dealer, or investment adviser providing the advice." Brokers have asserted that their conflicts of interest are covered in their disclosure documents. But studies have repeatedly found "that disclosure is, at best, insufficient for addressing conflicts of interest," according to Knut A. Rostad, chairman of the Committee for the Fiduciary Standard. "Indeed, there is convincing evidence that disclosures are frequently confusing and misleading for investors, even when made under the best circumstances with the purest of intentions." In addition, many investors simply do not read or understand the disclosures that are commonly buried in mutual fund prospectuses and broker agreements, which are drafted by lawyers. While this debate has been going on for years among the financial services industry and regulators, it has not attracted the attention of many individual investors. As a result, brokers have been working under a much less stringent set of ethical standards than financial advisors, who are bound by a fiduciary standard. This has finally become an unworkable situation, according to SEC Chairwoman Mary Schapiro, who said in a speech to the Consumer Federation of America: "I believe that all securities professionals should be subject to the same fiduciary duty — and that all investors receiving advice should rest assured that the advice they get is being given with their interest at heart. But, to be effective, the fiduciary duty needs to be meaningful and uniform across all securities professionals. It cannot be weakened or diluted just so that it can be applied broadly." What Investors Should Do Regardless of whether the SEC enacts a new fiduciary standard, individual investors who want objective advice from their financial professional can take these steps: Ask your broker or financial advisors if they are receiving any commission, revenue-sharing, trail or other monetary or non-monetary incentives from the fund company or brokerage firm selling the investment. If so, how much are they receiving? Ask what other similar and suitable investments are available Remember: No investment product today is unique. There are other very similar products available which may be better suited to your needs. If you bought mutual funds from a broker, ask if your broker has been receiving revenue from a mutual fund company for any funds you have bought. If so, ask for a portion of this money to be paid to you. After all, your purchase generated the revenue-sharing in the first place, and without it the broker would never have received any compensation. Mutual fund revenue-sharing is paid quarterly or semi-annually to the broker-deal and/or the broker who sold you the mutual funds. If you have owned the mutual funds for years, the revenue-sharing payment could go into thousands of dollars. If you want greater peace of mind about working with a broker who may have a conflict of interest when it comes to providing objective investment advice, find a fee-only financial planner or a financial planner who readily has adopted and followed the fiduciary standard. Whichever type of financial professional you have (broker or financial planner), remain vigilant about protecting your own interests and getting the bets, objective advice possible. Don't rely on the SEC, brokerage firms, mutual fund companies or other large financial institutions to protect your own interests.

Negocioenlinea
Last week. end of week trading revealed lower trending for the dollar. Expectation is that gold value will bump higher as the dollar’s value drops lower. End of session numbers on Friday did not reveal this inverse relationship. Gold futures for February delivery fell $5.50 to finished the session on Friday at $1,341 an ounce. Although gold values dropped lower, analysis reveals demand for the precious metal should hold as demand remains high throughout India and China. Spot gold trending as of last evening, January 23rd, revealed positive trending. Spot gold price per kilo was moving higher by 171.04 as it posted at 43462.02. Spot gold per gram was moving higher as well by .17 at 43.46. Last session results on Friday revealed that Silver price per ounce for March delivery was trading lower by .17%.

Contract gold finished lower last week and analysts speculate that the stronger than expected U.S. jobless data that posted last week supported the erosion of precious metal safe haven appeal. The number of Americans filing for first time unemployment insurance fell lower according to data posted last week to 404,000. This number is positive in that it is 37,000 less than it was just one week prior to the post and better than what many economists had been anticipating. Author: Camillo Zucari
New Technical Target for ORCL
Oracle Corp. (NASDAQ: ORCL) — This well-known enterprise software company broke from a double-top in September to a new two-year high. The breakout was supported by very high volume and is a strong signal that even higher prices are in its future. The acquisition of Sun Microsystems has “transformed ORCL into a software and systems vendor,” according to S&P, which currently rates the stock a “five-star strong buy” with a fundamental price target of $37. ORCL was one of my top stock picks for January, and is still a good buy. The recent break to over $32, after partially closing a gap, confirms that the uptrend is intact. The trading target for ORCL is raised from $35 to $38. If you have questions or comments for Sam Collins, please e-mail him at samailc@cox.net .

insurance fell lower according to data posted last week to 404,000. This number
is positive in that it is 37,000 less than it was just one week prior to the
post and better than what many economists had been anticipating. Author: Camillo

5 ETFs Showing Short-Term Weakness
On Friday, the bulls managed to hang onto an increasingly slim advantage as the
higher quality indices inched up and, for the moment, away from a break of their
20-day moving averages. The Nasdaq, however, did close below its 20-day moving
average, thus triggering a technical analysis sell signal for traders. But even
that signal is currently confined mostly to the metals and materials sectors for
short-term traders. Of the internal indicators, momentum is the weakest, and the
Nasdaqs momentum indicator even closed in negative territory for the first time
since Nov. 29. Sentiment numbers are still overbought by a wide margin. The Dow
Jones Transportation Average fell again on Friday, after cracking its 20-day
moving average earlier in the week. It closed just 15 points (0.02%) over its
50-day moving average. Further deterioration of this important index, which many
believe to be a leading indicator, would create much uncertainty and a
reevaluation by many of the ability of the broad market to maintain its positive
trend. Conclusion: 1. The higher-quality stocks are still being bought, but even
the vaunted S&P 500 had an 8-to-1 single-day punch on Wednesday, and that raised
a caution flag among many technicians. Then, on Friday, the Nasdaq broke its
20-day moving average and the Dow transports continued to fall. 2. A study of
ETFs shows definite weakness in the Market Vectors Coal ETF (NYSE: KOL ),
Materials Select Sector SPDR (NYSE: XLB ) and SPDR S&P Metals & Mining (NYSE:
XME ) all leaders in the past three months. The Retail HOLDRs (AMEX: RTH ) and
Financial Select Sector SPDR (NYSE: XLF ) turned north after touching their
respective 20-day moving averages. Each, however, has internal indicators that
are turning down. Weekly buying climaxes (indications of a near-term top, not a
change in major trend) were reported by Dorsey Wright & Associates in most major
indices and precious metals. The overall picture, though still pointing up, is
of a weakening stock market with limited technical damage done so far. But
Wednesdays beating, the worst since November, in the face of generally favorable
economic news and solid corporate earnings is not a good sign. It is time to
watch and wait to see if a rotation of leadership occurs and the uptrend
continues or if the indices continue to sag with more violations of the 50-day
moving averages. For one tech stock to buy, see the Trade of the Day . Todays

Less than $5 a Share with Dividends

Negocioenlinea
Low priced stocks that pay dividends have a few advantages. The lower share price allows for greater diversification. The dividends provide the investor with quicker return or capital and can reduce volatility. You may not be aware of them but there are actually more than half a dozen stocks, including closed end funds, that sell for less than $5 a share and pay a dividend with yields greater than 6%. WallStreetNewsNetwork.com just updated its list of high yield stocks selling for $5 or less , with yields ranging from 0.4% to 16.5%. Just remember that the yields are based on historical payments, and the dividends can be adjusted, reduced, or terminated at any time. I also believe that extremely high yields may not be sustainable. Electro-Sensors Inc. (ELSE), which makes and sells industrial production monitoring and process control systems, has a yield of 3.5% and recently traded at 4.64. The company, which trades at 28 times earnings, has been paying quarterly dividends since 1995. Earnings for the latest quarter ending September 30 were down 16.9%. The company reports earnings for the quarter ending December 31 on February 21. Euroseas Ltd. (ESEA) owns and operates dry bulk ocean transportation carriers that transport iron ore, coal, and grain. The stock yields 6.6% and recently traded at 3.62 per share. Quarterly dividends have been paid since 2006. The stock has a forward price to earnings ratio of 21. Earnings for the latest reported quarter were negative, and the company reports again on February 28.

Gold, Silver and S&P 500 have Peaked
As a technical analyst I have predicted a mid-January top in the S&P 500 Index, with 1285 as the minimal upside from the 1173 4th wave lows. As it turns out, the Index has been to 1296 but that seems to be the top. Copper, Gold, Silver – All topping and rolling over for now. A few weeks ago I began to go bearish on gold (And with it silver), and the Elliott Wave patterns became very muddy and unclear. This was a warning signal. Also, gold's failure to surpass its $1,425 — $1,430 an ounce highs through three attempts indicated a triple top failure. The gold, copper, silver topping and rollover movements are warning signals to be more cautious. Gold should work down to $1,270 — $1,280, and silver to $25 — $26.50 ranges. Small Cap Index – The Direxion Small Cap Bear 3X Shares (NYSE: TZA ) had a huge two-day reversal rally on Thursday and Friday of last week. TZA closed just at $16.07 and I see it moving to $19 — $20. The Russell 2000 is rolling over first, which makes sense because the sentiment and strong economic rebound from the summer lows has peaked out. Small caps are likely to correct the hardest in this wave pattern down, and so we shorted them instead of shorting the large caps or S&P 500. To wit, last week the small caps dropped 3.5% and the S&P 500 only 0.8%. IBD 100 – The Investors Business Daily top 100 fell 5.4% last week collectively. A quick scan of the charts on those 100 reveals a lot of topping and weakness patterns to me. These would be considered leader small-cap and mid-cap growth stocks, and suggests further evidence of continuing correction in the markets. Bottom Line – I continue to be cautious on the markets and believe the S&P 500 will drop to 1170-1180 on the LOW END, with 1210-1229 possible as the shallower end of a correction. The Russell 2000 will take the hardest hit, and probably has another 8% — 9% downside left before a bottom pivot. We remain long TZA to short that index at three times multiple over at my Active Trading Partners (ATP) service. I have not shorted the S&P 500 or large caps on purpose, because I think the best place to short is small caps. I continue to recommend high cash positions for now (I'm about 40%) so that you have money to buy into an oversold Wave 2 bottom in the markets when it occurs. Gold will continue to correct with a bounce at $1,310 — $1,320 areas likely. I see it getting to $1,270 — $1,280 though. Large Caps are likely to outperform Small Caps in 2011, as the bulk of the economic trough and rebound have now occurred and been priced in. Gold may struggle for several months but has a shot at hitting $1,500 — $1,515 by year's end, but one month at a time. That said, selective stock picking will always have the ability to trounce the index averages.

Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plan Coverage 2011; Medicaid Medicare Health Care Reform News and Notes January 24th 2011
dow2664
Negocioenlinea
American citizens over the age of 65 that receive prescription drug medication to maintain their health should consider Medicare Part D prescription drug plan coverage. Health Care reform attempts to reduce the cost further for Americans. Plans can vary and the cost of each plan is dependent on one’s specific health and financial situation. Drug plan coverage can be obtained through a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan known as Part D or a Medicare Advantage Plan that is Part D combined with portions of Part A and Part B plans. A Medicare Advantage Plan is one that is tailored to fit individual needs and is on average a health plan combined with prescription drug coverage. Health Care reform these days often relates to the cost of health care and prescription drugs for Americans, and the cost to the government. Recent reform on Capitol Hill relates to the reduction of prescription drug costs for Americans that qualify for Medicare, but are poor enough to qualify for Medicaid. A recent amendment would have allowed Americans who get their drugs through Medicare to pay Medicaid prices. The amendment was voted down. Right now it appears to be a political battle between Democrats and Republicans, with one party less in favor of bipartisan work than the other. Author: Genny Germano

5 ETFs Showing Short-Term Weakness
On Friday, the bulls managed to hang onto an increasingly slim advantage as the higher quality indices inched up and, for the moment, away from a break of their 20-day moving averages. The Nasdaq, however, did close below its 20-day moving average, thus triggering a technical analysis sell signal for traders. But even that signal is currently confined mostly to the metals and materials sectors for short-term traders. Of the internal indicators, momentum is the weakest, and the Nasdaq’s momentum indicator even closed in negative territory for the first time since Nov. 29. Sentiment numbers are still overbought by a wide margin. The Dow Jones Transportation Average fell again on Friday, after cracking its 20-day moving average earlier in the week. It closed just 15 points (0.02%) over its 50-day moving average. Further deterioration of this important index, which many believe to be a leading indicator, would create much uncertainty and a reevaluation by many of the ability of the broad market to maintain its positive trend. Conclusion: 1. The higher-quality stocks are still being bought, but even the vaunted S&P 500 had an 8-to-1 single-day punch on Wednesday, and that raised a caution flag among many technicians. Then, on Friday, the Nasdaq broke its 20-day moving average and the Dow transports continued to fall. 2. A study of ETFs shows definite weakness in the Market Vectors Coal ETF (NYSE: KOL ), Materials Select Sector SPDR (NYSE: XLB ) and SPDR S&P Metals & Mining (NYSE: XME ) — all leaders in the past three months. The Retail HOLDRs (AMEX: RTH ) and Financial Select Sector SPDR (NYSE: XLF ) turned north after touching their respective 20-day moving averages. Each, however, has internal indicators that are turning down. Weekly buying climaxes (indications of a near-term top, not a change in major trend) were reported by Dorsey Wright & Associates in most major indices and precious metals. The overall picture, though still pointing up, is of a weakening stock market with limited technical damage done so far. But Wednesday’s beating, the worst since November, in the face of generally favorable economic news and solid corporate earnings is not a good sign. It is time to watch and wait to see if a rotation of leadership occurs and the uptrend continues or if the indices continue to sag with more violations of the 50-day moving averages.

Southwest Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: OKSB) Reports 45 Percent Increase in Net Income
Southwest Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:OKSB) reported an increase of 45 percent in
annual net income available to common shareholders of $12.8 million for the year
ended December 31, 2010 as against $8.8 million last year. Earnings per share
for common shareholders were $0.71 per diluted share compared to $0.60 per
diluted share for the year 2009, an increase of 18%. Total net income for 2010
was $17.0 million compared to $13.0 million for 2009, an increase of 31%.
Quarterly assessment shows net income available to common shareholders for the
fourth quarter 2010 was $3.3 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, as against
$2.8 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2010 and $2.5
million, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2009. The stock
traded with a volume of 162,027 shares as compared to its daily average volume
of 73,232 shares. The intraday high was $14.05 and intraday low was $12.34. The
stock had a market cap of 264.57 million shares with a low beta of 0.79. The
52-week range lied between $6.31 -$16.20. The financial outlook for the year
2010 was good enough to bring transition in 2011 position. Earnings for the Q4
were combined with firm net interest income, controlled noninterest expense, and
a decrease in the required provision for loan losses, as stated by the President
and Chief Executive Officer, Rick Green, of Southwest Bancorp. The Board of
Directors and management are concerned taking important decisions with regard to
problem credits, the maintenance of capital and liquidity, stability in net
interest income, and control of operating expenses. Their work force is focused
on dealing with commercial real estate construction and commercial mortgage
sectors. Noncovered nonperforming assets at year-end were down to the benefit of
the company. In the fourth quarter, we resolved, through pay-offs and
charge-offs, approximately $33.4 million in nonaccrual loans, sold approximately
$4.7 million of other real estate, moved approximately $7.0 million into other
real estate, and classified an additional $14.8 million as nonaccrual. Decrease
in noncovered potential problem loans by $42.8 million, or 16% marked the rising
fourth quarter 2010 with activity of approximately $40.2 million in advances, a
progress of approximately $13.4 million to nonaccrual status, and the addition
of $52.8 million to the category. Company is looking optimistic with its
performance in the markets with an emphasis on health care lending and carefully
controlled real estate collateralized credits. The second quarter common stock
offering gave them new common equity and they continue to build additional
common equity from our core earnings. Southwest and its banking subsidiaries
have maintained capital levels that substantially exceed the minimums for
regulatory well-capitalized status. At December 31, 2010 Southwests total
regulatory capital was $477.9 million for a total risk-based capital ratio of
19.06%, and Tier 1 capital was $446.0 million for a Tier 1 risk-based capital
ratio of 17.78%. Southwest Bancorp, Inc. (Southwest) is a bank holding company

Top 10 Most Profitable Micro Cap Stocks: PW, PRS, GNI, TCAP, SCOK, PRLS, BDSI, AI, LUNA, GAIN (Jan 24, 2011)
Gold, Silver and S&P 500 have Peaked
As a technical analyst I have predicted a mid-January top in the S&P 500 Index,
with 1285 as the minimal upside from the 1173 4th wave lows. As it turns out,
the Index has been to 1296 but that seems to be the top. Copper, Gold, Silver
All topping and rolling over for now. A few weeks ago I began to go bearish on
gold (And with it silver), and the Elliott Wave patterns became very muddy and
unclear. This was a warning signal. Also, gold's failure to surpass its $1,425
$1,430 an ounce highs through three attempts indicated a triple top failure.
The gold, copper, silver topping and rollover movements are warning signals to
be more cautious. Gold should work down to $1,270 $1,280, and silver to $25
$26.50 ranges. Small Cap Index The Direxion Small Cap Bear 3X Shares (NYSE: TZA
) had a huge two-day reversal rally on Thursday and Friday of last week. TZA
closed just at $16.07 and I see it moving to $19 $20. The Russell 2000 is
rolling over first, which makes sense because the sentiment and strong economic
rebound from the summer lows has peaked out. Small caps are likely to correct
the hardest in this wave pattern down, and so we shorted them instead of
shorting the large caps or S&P 500. To wit, last week the small caps dropped
3.5% and the S&P 500 only 0.8%. IBD 100 The Investors Business Daily top 100
fell 5.4% last week collectively. A quick scan of the charts on those 100
reveals a lot of topping and weakness patterns to me. These would be considered
leader small-cap and mid-cap growth stocks, and suggests further evidence of
continuing correction in the markets. Bottom Line I continue to be cautious on
the markets and believe the S&P 500 will drop to 1170-1180 on the LOW END, with
1210-1229 possible as the shallower end of a correction. The Russell 2000 will
take the hardest hit, and probably has another 8% 9% downside left before a
bottom pivot. We remain long TZA to short that index at three times multiple
over at my Active Trading Partners (ATP) service. I have not shorted the S&P 500
or large caps on purpose, because I think the best place to short is small caps.
I continue to recommend high cash positions for now (I'm about 40%) so that
you have money to buy into an oversold Wave 2 bottom in the markets when it
occurs. Gold will continue to correct with a bounce at $1,310 $1,320 areas
likely. I see it getting to $1,270 $1,280 though. Large Caps are likely to
outperform Small Caps in 2011, as the bulk of the economic trough and rebound
have now occurred and been priced in. Gold may struggle for several months but
has a shot at hitting $1,500 $1,515 by year's end, but one month at a time.
That said, selective stock picking will always have the ability to trounce the
index averages. If you would like to benefit from learning more about my

Some great British humor for the weekend, mentioned in a recent Casey Research newsletter. You will hear about Apples (AAPL), Research In Motion’s (RIMM) BlackBerry, and Microsoft’s (MSFT) Windows.
