Gold was higher by .90 percent at this point and silver was higher by approximately 2.5 percent.

Stocks Going Ex Dividend the Fourth Week of February
dow2664
Negocioenlinea
Here is our latest update on the stock trading technique called ‘Buying Dividends’. This is the process of buying stocks before the ex dividend date and selling the stock shortly after the ex date at about the same price, yet still being entitled to the dividend . This technique generally works only in bull markets. In flat or choppy markets, you have to be extremely careful. In order to be entitled to the dividend, you have to buy the stock before the ex-dividend date, and you can’t sell the stock until after the ex date. The actual dividend may not be paid for another few weeks. WallStreetNewsNetwork.com has compiled a downloadable and sortable Excel list of the stocks going ex dividend during the next week or two. The list contains many dividend paying companies, all with market caps over $500 million, and yields over 2%. Here are a few examples showing the stock symbol, the market capitalization, the ex-dividend date and the yield. DNP Select Income Fund Inc. (DNP) market cap: $2.2B ex div date: 2/24/2011 yield: 8.4% Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) market cap: $170.9B ex div date: 2/25/2011 yield: 3.5% MGE Energy, Inc. (MGEE) market cap: $979.1M ex div date: 2/25/2011 yield: 3.6% Einstein Noah Restaurant Group, Inc. (BAGL) market cap: $259.5M ex div date: 2/25/2011 yield: 3.4% Fifth Street Finance Corp. (FSC) market cap: $683.5M ex div date: 2/25/2011 yield: 10.2% The additional ex-dividend stocks can be found at wsnn.com. (If you have been to the website before, and the latest link doesn’t show up, you may have to empty your cache.) If you like dividend stocks, you should check out the high yield utility stocks and the Monthly Dividend Stocks at WallStreetNewsNetwork.com or WSNN.com. Dividend definitions: Declaration date: the day that the company declares that there is going to be an upcoming dividend. Ex-dividend date: the day on which if you buy the stock, you would not be entitled to that particular dividend; or the first day on which a shareholder can sell the shares and still be entitled to the dividend. Record date : the day when you must be on the company’s books as a shareholder to receive the dividend. The ex-dividend date is normally set for stocks two business days before the record date. Payment date: the day on which the dividend payment is actually made, which can be as long at two months after the ex date. Don’t forget to reconfirm the ex-dividend date with the company before implementing this technique. Disclosure: Author did not own any of the above at the time article was written. By Stockerblog.com

Market Recap: DJIA Deepens Slide as Libyan Chaos Fuels Flight to Safety
Stocks Stay On the Mat
Remember Tuesday? Remember when stocks sold off to a pretty fair degree — especially tech — due to a deadly combination of momentum reversal, higher oil prices and developments in Libya? Then Wednesday will seem pretty familiar. Stocks hit the skids again on Wednesday, as repeated attempts by the broader market to avoid a second consecutive losing day couldn’t get the job done. Tech stocks again led the market lower, as they had done on Tuesday — the Nasdaq fell 1.2% to 2723, its lowest level in about three weeks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 107 points to 12,106 and the S&P 500 lost 8 points to 1307. The fix was in early for tech on Wednesday — a profit report late Tuesday by Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ ) that offered a dour first-quarter forecast had cast a long shadow right into Wednesday’s opening bell. H-P shares ended Wednesday down 9.6%. H-P cited weak consumer spending on PCs, which led investors to wonder: Does that mean everyone is instead snapping up Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) iPads, or are we facing a consumer retrenchment in general — one that is only to be exacerbated as we all spend more of our disposable income on gasoline? As we saw on Tuesday, however, the reversal in semiconductor stocks, which had been so key in leading tech higher during the past six months, was again key to the sector’s flailing once again. On Wednesday the Semiconductor HOLDRs (NYSE: SMH ) exchange-traded fund was down 1.5%, which followed a drop of nearly 3% on Tuesday. But oil prices were again garnering much of the market-causation headlines on Wednesday, and certainly when crude oil touches a big round number like $100 a barrel, investors will take notice and buy and sell accordingly (crude ended up 2.8% to $98.10). Unsurprisingly, gas and oil ETFs did extremely well on Wednesday (again), and you may have noticed the big, ole ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM ) has now gained 5% in one week. It also will seem perfectly logical that auto stocks and airlines were again on the losing end Wednesday, as higher gas and fuel prices leave consumers no choice but to cut back on all forms of travel — if this trend keeps up. One interesting note was the 10-year Treasury note yield pushing reverting higher to 3.48% after a two-week dip. Perhaps bonds are signaling that a third consecutive down day for equities isn’t in the cards.

travel if this trend keeps up. One interesting note was the 10-year Treasury
note yield pushing reverting higher to 3.48% after a two-week dip. Perhaps bonds
are signaling that a third consecutive down day for equities isnt in the cards.

Gifts inspired by the Oscars: 'Black Swan'
ing2514
In the week leading up to Sunday's Academy Awards, we're giving you some gift ideas inspired by Oscar nominees.
Controversy over costume designer Amy Westcott and local fashion label Rodarte's design credits aside, any film that stars Natalie Portman as a goth-meets-glam prima ballerina and contains a Swan Lake number is sure to set the fashion flock's collective heart aflutter.
Exhibit A: Chanel's spring collection. Pointe taken. Plumes of all sorts have been capturing our fancy. While we'll pass on painful toe shoes, we'll gladly swap in these Manolo Blahnik Catalinasli sandals ($765 at Nordstrom.com).
And forget the tutu when you have a necklace that's too-too! Yes, Anita Ko's envy-inspiring Double Wing pave-encrusted pendant necklace, part of her Good vs. Evil collection, costs a whopping $15,000. (In 18-karat white gold with 3.5 carats of diamonds, also in yellow and rose gold, at Maxfields [(310) 274-8800]. Talk about earning your wings.
Or try feathering your nest with these high-low pens that could have been plucked straight from Portman's “good swan” costume. Leave it to Martin Margiela to take the lowly ballpoint to a luxe new level with genuine ostrich and goose feathers. (Pens from $50 each, at Maison Martin Margiela, 310-284-8093, or at aplusrstore.com). One would make a perfect gift for writers or graduates set to take flight or to add flourish to family and friends' forever-celebrated moments, such as signing guest books, wedding certificates, birth certificates … heck maybe even divorce papers. Exit stage right.

Valmont Industries, Inc. (NYSE:VMI) Reports 4Q Revenues & Earnings Significantly Ahead of Expectation
Valmont Industries, Inc. (NYSE:VMI) reported fourth fiscal quarter earnings result above expectation on Thursday with majority of the upside coming from significantly better than expected results in the company’s Irrigation segment. The Company reported sales for the fourth fiscal quarter of $598.7 million, an increase of 50% year over year from $398.6 million for the same period of 2009 and above the consensus estimate of $529.8 million. Excluding Delta, which was consolidated subsequent to the fourth quarter last year, sales improved 14% year over year, driven primarily by strong organic gains in Irrigation. Irrigation sales surged 62% from a year ago to $134 million. Fourth fiscal quarter net earnings of $34.9 million or $1.32 per share have been recorded versus net earnings of $30.0 million, or $1.14 per share in the same quarter last year. Included in the quarter was $0.03 per share in transaction costs related to the Delta acquisition. Excluding these costs, earnings would have been $1.35 per share versus the analysts' estimate of $1.12 per share. The upside was driven by better top-line sales which grew 50% year over year as well higher margins. Operating margins declined 150 basis points on a year over year basis, however, prior year results included unusually high utility tower operating margins. For fiscal 2010, sales were $1.976 billion versus $1.787 billion in 2009.The Company's fiscal year net earnings were $94.4 million, or$3.57 per diluted share including the expenses and financing associated with the purchase of Delta plc on May 12, 2010, compared with 2009 fiscal year earnings of $150.6 million, or $5.73 per diluted share. Shares of a global producer of fabricated metal products went up by 13.02% or $12.70 to $110.26 after delivering fourth fiscal quarter results above expectations with sales upside aided by stronger than expected sales in Irrigation (+62%) and incremental contributions from the Delta acquisition. The Company anticipates that 2011 earnings will increase 35%-45% relative to 2010 GAAP earnings of $3.57 per share, implying an earnings guidance of $4.82-$5.18 for 2011. Excluding significant transaction costs related to the acquisition of Delta, 2010 earnings were $4.19 per share. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding the non-recurring expenses incurred in 2010, guidance implies an earnings growth of 15%-23%. The stock climbed to new annual high of $116.02, its annual low being $65.94 after opening at $109.81 and trading with volume of 1.32 million shares, above the daily average volume of 0.137 million shares. The market capitalization of the stock stands at $2.91 billion with P/E of 32.53 and beta of 1.55. The Company operates through four segments: Engineered Support Structures (ESS), Utility Support Structures (USS), Coatings and Irrigation.

Netflix Has No Need to Fear Redbox
Coinstar's (NASDAQ: CSTR ) Redbox video-rental kiosk business is finally going head-to-head with the sector's reigning king, Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX ). Redbox said last week that it would finally be starting up its own streaming video rental service in which subscribers could access both streaming video online as well as DVD and Blu-ray disc rentals at Redbox’s 24,000 kiosks. It's too bad that Redbox is late to the streaming video party. Netflix's subscriber base grew to 20 million by the end of 2010 — it’s no wonder that almost every business making money off home video rentals and sales is rushing to match that company’s proven business model. Within the last 12 months, an ever-rising number of streaming video services have either been announced or started: Big box retailers Best Buy (NYSE: BBY ) and Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT ) both opened pay-per-view streaming video web businesses last year. The News Corp (NYSE: NWS ), General Electric (NYSE: GE ), and Disney (NYSE: DIS ) Hulu venture opened its Hulu Plus advertising-supported subscription service to the general public last fall, offering an expanded selection of television and movie content. Google (NASDAQ: GOOG ) even began offering full movies from select movie studios through YouTube last fall, and Time Warner (NYSE: TWX ) announced that it would be offering on-demand video just 60 days after those films are released in theaters. Even Sears (NASDAQ: SHLD ) has gotten in on the action, announcing streaming rental service Alphaline Solutions in a partnership with Rovi's (NASDAQ: ROVI ) Sonic Solutions (NASDAQ: SNIC ) unit. Redbox does have something those other fledgling streaming services don’t, thanks to the strength of the Redbox brand. The kiosk business saw impressive quarterly jumps in revenue with 31% growth, suggesting that people are renting DVDs from Redbox vending machines with increasing frequency. But that success likely won't translate to its streaming business — at least, not without exclusive content and competitive pricing. It’s going to be difficult for Redbox to undercut Netflix, which already offers a streaming-only package for $7.99 a month. Consumers would undoubtedly respond to an $8-a-month streaming subscription from Redbox — provided it also offered access to DVD kiosks for bigger name releases, but Redbox’s content partners would never allow that model. 20 th Century Fox, Warner Bros., and Universal Pictures have already put greater restrictions on what they make available to Redbox. Coinstar CEO Paul Davis highlighted those studios’ restriction keeping titles out of Redbox kiosks until the DVDs have been on sale for 28 days as a key reason the company missed its projected earnings in its most recent quarter. That hesitancy from content partners all but guarantees that Redbox will be unable to secure significant exclusive content that's not available via Netflix and even other outlets like Hulu. Although Redbox President Mitch Lowe didn’t go into specifics last week, some speculated that the company would partner with Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN ) to broaden the reach of its new streaming service. Not so — Amazon said Tuesday that it would be opening its own long-rumored streaming service. Subscribers to the Amazon Prime premium service – which had been predominantly a way to get deals on shipping — can now access a library of 5,000 streaming movies that are advertising free. The market is too crowded for Amazon, Redbox, or any of the others to find an audience. Why get into the business when 20 million consumers already have Netflix? At the time of publication, Anthony John Agnello did not own a position in any of the stocks named here.

investors now begin to wonder if the sell-offs could present a good buying
opportunity. The rest of the market week will be busy in the United States.
Today, the National Association of Realtors will release existing home sales
numbers. The housing sector has struggled and analysts anticipate that
Wednesday's report will do little to help. Existing home sales are expected to
drop. earnings reports will post from companies such as Lowes, Dollar Tree, and
Saks among others. On Thursday, the Commerce Department will release its new
home sales report during the first half of trading. In addition, the weekly
initial jobless claims report will post this day. Also on this day, the Commerce
Department will release its Durable Goods orders. Kohl's, General Motors, and
Target are among companies scheduled to post earnings reports this day. On
Friday, the University of Michigan will post its reading on consumer sentiment.
Another reading on the U.S.'s fourth quarter gross domestic product will post
as well. This report will measure the total of goods and services active in our
current economy. Estimates for this reading are skewed towards moderate growth.
JCPenny is among the companies scheduled to release earnings reports on the last
trading day of the week. Currently, market tracking prior to opening bell for
the first day of trading this week reveals that stock futures are posting in the
green. Stocks are positioned for a higher open as Future tracking displays the
Dow trending higher by .26 percent. The Nasdaq is higher by .40 percent and the
S&P 500 is higher by .40 percent prior to opening bell. Author: Frank Matto
