High Yield Shipping Stocks

Negocioenlinea
Besides utilities and telecom stocks, there aren’t many other sectors that pay high yields. One high dividend industry that hasn’t received much attention recently is shipping. There are two primary types of shippers, the liquid shippers which transport crude oil, petroleum products, and liquefied natural gas, and the dry bulk shippers, which transport iron ore, coal, grain, minerals, fertilizers, and other non-liquid items. Shipping stocks generate fairly significant dividends with more than 15 yielding in excess of 3% , according to the free list that was recently updated by WallStreetNewsNetwork.com. For example, Nordic American Tanker Shipping Ltd. (NAT) is a liquid shipper that yields 4%. The stock trades at 40 times forward earnings. Unfortunately, revenues were down 23.8% for the latest reported quarter; the company reports next earnings on May 4. International Shipholding Corp. (ISH) is a dry bulk shipper with a 6.5% yield, and trades at 10.7 times earnings. Revenues for the latest quarter were down 35.8%. The earnings announcement is April 25. Another high yield dry bulk shipper is Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. (NM) paying 4.4%, and a price to earnings ratio of 4.3. Earnings for the latest quarter were up 27.7%, with earnings rising over 300%. The company reports May 23. For a free list of over 20 high dividend shipping stocks , go to WallStreetNewsNetwork.com.

5 Nuclear Stocks to Buy Despite Japan Crisis
All eyes are on Japan's nuclear energy crisis this week – and with good reason. The explosions at the Fukushima power plant and the threat of a nuclear meltdown are horrifying enough. The fact these events come in the wake of a massive earthquake that killed thousands and left millions without electricity makes the situation even more compelling. But as with the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, it is important for investors to remember that one disaster cannot – and should not – kill an entire industry. In fact, the nuclear crisis in Japan is even less of an indictment of nuclear power than the Deepwater Horizon was a condemnation for offshore oil drilling. The gulf spill had obvious villains – BP plc (NYSE: BP ), Transocean (NYSE: RIG ) and Halliburton (NYSE: HAL ), who all pointed fingers at each other about why the blowout preventer didn't prevent anything. In Japan, the blame lies not with a careless company culture or even the honest errors of a few workers. The blame lies with an 8.9 magnitude earthquake that would be bad news for just about any structure on the planet. So as the world focuses on the crisis in Japan and how to help the nation in its hour of need, let's not forget that there is a lot of potential for nuclear energy these days. Expensive oil is a reality. Global warming is a real threat and fossil fuels are a dirty business for the planet. A January report from Exxon Mobil estimated worldwide energy demand will climb 35% by 2030. Nascent alternative energy sources like wind and solar are still problematic without greater efficiency and U.S. power grid improvements, and represent a very small source of domestic energy production. Nuclear energy is part of the solution for all of these issues. That means now may be a good opportunity for long-term investors to get into some nuclear energy stocks at oversold levels. Let's take a look: Cameco Scarce worldwide uranium supplies mean Canada's Cameco (NYSE: CCJ ) will always have a valuable product. Cameco is a leader in the exploration and mining of uranium for sale to nuclear power producers worldwide. CCJ stock sold off dramatically this week, down -18% as of this article's deadline, and is off -25% since January 1. But the company is projected to see earnings per share grow 30% in 2011, and an additional 22% in 2012. If and when the world becomes more reliant on nuclear energy, you can bet Cameco is going to play a starring role. The company had just set a new 52-week high in February after a +80% run for the stock since last summer, so clearly there was momentum behind Cameco before the recent disaster in Japan. USEC Inc. A smaller but domestic uranium provider is the United States Enrichment Company, now known as USEC Inc. (NYSE: USU ). The Energy Policy Act of 1992 allowed the sale of enrichment plants to USEC in order to create a company that would provide uranium for nuclear power generation. After its IPO, USEC crashed about -50% in a year – and barring a brief pop in 2007 and a sharp drop following the financial crisis, hasn't really shown much action since that initial flop. The company is much less established than Cameco and struggled to turn just a small profit in 2010. But 2010 also brought a big $200 million investment from Toshiba (PINK: TOSBF ) and Babcock & Wilcox (NYSE: BWC ) – a sign that nuclear heavyweights have faith in the company. USEC shares are off about -31% year-to-date, but gained over 50% across 2010 – four times the broader market. This is an aggressive buy, but one that could pay off big in the long-term if nuclear power becomes more widespread.

Tasman Metals Ltd.
Tasman Metals Ltd (TSX.V : TSM; Frankfurt : T61; Pink Sheets : TASXF) is a
Canadian mineral exploration and development company focused on Strategic Metals
in the European region. Strategic metal demand is increasing, due to their
unique properties that make them essential for high technology and
environmentally-beneficial applications. Strategic metals include the 15 rare
earth elements (REE), and also zirconium, yttrium and niobium. Since over 95% of
REE supply is currently sourced from China, the EU is actively supporting policy
to promote the domestic supply of strategic metals to secure high-tech industry.
Wind turbines and hybrid vehicles like the Toyota Prius simply cannot be built
without rare earth minerals. Tasmans exploration portfolio is uniquely placed,
with the capacity to deliver high-tech metals from politically stable, mining
friendly jurisdictions with developed infrastructure. NORRA KARR PROJECT
HIGHLIGHTS Norra Karr is a nepheline syenite which contains a large inferred REE
Mineral Resource of 60.5 Million Tonnes averaging 0.54% TREO with 53% HREO. The
project lies in southern Sweden, where infrastructure is second to none. Roads,
power and water are at the site and active rail and port facilities are in close
proximity. Sweden is a mining friendly jurisdiction. Large mines operate within
90km of Norra Karr, providing a skilled local work force and mining related
contractors. Numerous intersections of mineralization at Norra Karr are greater
than 100m true thickness, which begin at surface and remain open at depth. The
inferred Mineral Resource comprises a large mineralized volume amenable to
shallow open pit mining. An unusually high proportion of high value heavy rare
earth oxides (HREO). This Mineral Resource estimate shows HREO/TREO consistently
exceeds 50%. An unusually high proportion of , two rare earth elements in scarce
supply and strong projected demand. The base case Mineral Resource estimate
shows Dy2O3/TREO averages 4.8% and Y2O3/TREO averages 35.1%. Initial work by Dr
Tony Mariano suggests REEs are concentrated in one mineral only (eudialyte),
allowing focused metallurgical research and potentially simplified processing.
Norra Karr is unusually low in uranium and thorium relative to peer company
projects. The mine site will not require any special permitting or monitoring
for radioactivity, and transport of concentrates will not require radioactive
permitting. Uranium and thorium in the base case Mineral Resource estimate
average 14 ppm and 7 ppm respectively; LEARN MORE ABOUT RARE EARTH ELEMENTS

Stocks Make It Halfway Back From Selloff
For the second straight day, the developments of Japan have set the tone for U.S. equities, which have responded to both the huge selloff in Japanese stocks, as well as a continuing influence in the wake of real-time news reports on the progress in solving the crisis. Those formerly important issues of oil prices and/or the unrest in the Middle East? Those are apparently so last week. The uncertainty of what will happen in the world's 10 th -most populated country is front and center. As if evidence was needed, one only needed to wake up a few minutes before the open of U.S. trading. Japan's Nikkei Index had just posted a two-day loss of more than 17% and market futures in this country were pointing toward a decline in the magnitude of more than 2%. In fact, such a decline was in the early cards, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell nearly 300 points out of the gate, and the S&P 500 came to within 5 points of its closing level of 2010. Yes, at one point on Tuesday, stocks were up 0.4% for the year. From that point, however, events started working more in the bulls' favor. First and foremost, while the news out of Japan – much of which has defied a definitive version of the current state – was hardly positive, some indications that things were either improving, or not getting worse, was starting to trickle in. Whether that's true, investors at least could begin to consider a floor to the damage and recovery costs and timeline, something that was impossible on Monday, when nuclear meltdown seemed a stronger possibility than it did by Tuesday's close. And then there was the help from oil prices, which had been declining in recent days, but have rapidly fallen to around $97 a barrel on expected lower demand in Japan. Regardless of the reason, the return of double-digit oil prices has its benefits for the investor worldview. In addition, it's worth mentioning Tuesday's Fed meeting, which ended with an official take that a U.S. economic recovery was on "firmer footing." By the end of the session, the Dow had pulled back to close with "only" a 137-point loss to 11,855, the Nasdaq lost 34 points to 2667 and the S&P 500 fell 15 points to 1282. Utilities took it on the chin for a second straight day. The Dow Jones Utilities Index slid 1.9%. And insurers faced rough sledding. Hartford Financial (NYSE: HIG ) fell 4.6%, while AIG (NYSE: AIG ) was off 1.9%. Despite a strong finish, stocks remain subject to the same amount of volatility currently embedded in the fate of Japan's citizens.

GM, Ford Options Resilient as Market Wobbles
Your daily option s trading wrap up. Market Sentiment Global equity markets are
reeling Tuesday, but the sell-off on Wall Street has been orderly thus far.
Japan's Nikkei fell 10.6% on worries about the economic impact from last
week's earthquake and tsunami. A deepening crisis at a nuclear plant is
fueling grave concern. The Nikkei has now lost nearly 20% in less than a week
and markets across Asia are falling in sympathy. The volatility spilled over
into Europe and, when the opening bell rang on Wall Street, the Dow Jones
Industrial Average quickly gave up almost 300 points. However, the situation had
stabilized by midday. Then, the Dow was able to find some support from the
Fed's post-FOMC statement, which basically reiterated the same commentary from
the previous meeting. With less than an hour to trade, the Dow Jones Industrial
Average is down 126 points, but 170 points off session lows. The NASDAQ is down
30. The CBOE Volatility Index ( VIX ) hit multi-month highs of 25.66 and was
recently up 2.59 to 23.72. Trading in the options market is very busy heading
into the expiration and also reflects the up-tick in investor anxiety levels.
11.2 million calls and 11.6 million puts traded across all the options
exchanges. Bullish Flow General Motors (NYSE: GM ) touched a new 52-week low
Tuesday morning, but is trading up 2 cents to $31.61, as the US automakers are
showing some resilience today. Ford (NYSE: F ) has added 4 cents to $14.35.
Meanwhile, in GM options action, a three-way spread traded this morning, as an
investor apparently sold 1,000 GM Jan 25 Puts at $1.65 to buy the GM Jan 35 –
40 Call Spread at $1.425. Oil Service HOLDRS (NYSE: OIH ) trades down $2.33 to
$154.33 as the sector gets drilled on falling crude oil prices. Crude was
recently down $2.07 to $99.12 a barrel and is now a far cry from the levels near
$107 seen a little more than one week ago. Meanwhile, in OIH options action, one
investor sells the OIH Mar – Apr 160 Put Spread at $2.80, possibly rolling a
bullish position in in-the-money puts to avoid the possibility of assignment
before the expiration at the end of this week. Bearish Flow ProShares UltraShort
S&P 500 (NYSE: SDS ) March calls are seeing interest Tuesday morning with 3900
calls and 575 puts traded on the ETF in the first few minutes. Shares are up
$1.11 to $23.12 and the focus is on the Mar 22, 23, 24 and 25 calls. Some
investors are likely buying premium on concerns about additional volatility and
further losses for the equity market in the days ahead. March options expire at
the end of the week. Buying calls on the SDS represents a leveraged and bearish
bet on the S&P 500. Implied Volatility Mover IShares South Korea Fund (NYSE: EWY
) is down $1.80 to $56.97 and 15,000 EWY Mar 54 Puts traded at 19 cents and 6000
at 18 cents. Looks buyer-initiated. Volume is now 24,200 vs. 1,509 in open
interest. The Mar 54 puts have a delta of -.12 and three trading days of life
remaining after today. Some investors might be taking positions on concerns
about further fallout in Asias equity markets in the days ahead. Tokyos Nikkei
fell 10.6% Tuesday and is down almost 19% since Wednesday. The South Korea fund
has lost about 5% during that time. Implied volatility in the ETF is up 15% to
32 on the week. Option Flow Bearish activity detected in GameStop (NYSE: GME ),
with 7684 puts trading, or six times its recent average daily put volume.
Bearish activity detected in China-Biotics (NASDAQ: CHBT ), with 9466 puts
trading, or three times its recent average daily put volume. Bullish flow
detected in Radware (NASDAQ: RDWR ), with 6914 calls trading, or four times its
recent average daily call volume. Increasing volume is also being seen in
MetLife (NYSE: MET ), BHP Billiton (NYSE: BHP ), and GE (NYSE: GE ). Frederic

Zagg Inc (NASDAQ:ZAGG) Reports 4Q10 Results Ahead of Expectation
Zagg Inc (NASDAQ:ZAGG) reported fourth fiscal quarter financial results ahead of analysts' expectation on Monday. Net income for the fourth fiscal quarter of $3.4 million or $0.13 per share has been posted compared to $0.3 million or $0.01 per share for the same quarter last year. However, excluding the inventory write-off and a tax true-up for prior quarters, the EPS would have been a record $0.20, above the consensus estimate of $0.12. Revenue of $29.3 million has been recorded for the quarter, an increase of 157% year over year from $11.4 million for the same quarter last year, above the street consensus of $21.2 million. Revenue growth during the quarter was driven by strong sales from distribution partners such as AT&T Wireless and Verizon, as well as Best Buy, Radio Shack, Staples and Target, high demand for new smartphone and tablet devices, most notably the Apple iPad and iPhone 4, strong holiday seasonality and contribution from ZAGGmate (launched in December). Gross profit of $13.4 million has been posted for the quarter, an increase of 117% year over year but gross margin of 45.7% dipped from the 50.2% in the third quarter, 53.9% in the fourth quarter of 2009. Gross margin was hit by a $1.4 million one-time charge for obsolete inventory. Excluding that, gross margin was flat quarter over quarter at 50%. Adjusted EBITDA of $6.6 million, up 281% year over year was above the consensus estimate of $5.2 million. Shares of the company tumbled 85 cents or 10.48% to $7.26. The stock has 52 week range of $1.90-$10.56. Volume of 1.2 million shares has been reported compared to the daily average of 0.957 million shares.

TODAY’S STOCK MARKET DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL AVERAGE DJI, S&P 500, NASDAQ INDEX TRENDS, NOTES March 15th, 2011 Close
Volatility continues in the market as Tokyo stocks fall more than 10 percent
and this negative momentum is expected to affect U.S. trading in a parallel way.
The VIX, used to measure volatility in the market surged 14% and The New York
Stock Exchange invoked Rule 48, which gives the exchange the right to pause
trading in the wake of extreme volatility. Volatility continues in the
marketplace as well as within the Fukushima Daiichi power plant in Japan as news
that a third explosion took place, which is exacerbating the nuclear crisis in
the region. The reactor meltdown is unprecedented and people around the world
are not sure how far reaching the negative ramifications will stem. The Federal
Reserve released a more positive statement on the general status of the economy
today siting that the nations economic recovery is getting stronger, inflation
remains in check and the central bank plans to continue to purchase long term
treasuries to assist with growth. The Fed did acknowledge there has been a
significant increase in commodity prices such as oil but did not feel this was
an area of concern as it was labeled transitory. In light of the most recent
events in Japan and the effects on the global economy, the most curious aspect
of the entire statement, in the eyes of many, was that the Fed did not make
mention of the devastating earthquake in Japan or the obstacles to recovery. At
close the major market indexes continue in the red. The Dow dropped 137.74
points or 1.15% to 11855.42. The Nasdaq lost 33.64 points or 1.25% to 2667.33.

GM, Ford Options Resilient as Market Wobbles
Your daily option s trading wrap up. Market Sentiment Global equity markets are reeling Tuesday, but the sell-off on Wall Street has been orderly thus far. Japan's Nikkei fell 10.6% on worries about the economic impact from last week's earthquake and tsunami. A deepening crisis at a nuclear plant is fueling grave concern. The Nikkei has now lost nearly 20% in less than a week and markets across Asia are falling in sympathy. The volatility spilled over into Europe and, when the opening bell rang on Wall Street, the Dow Jones Industrial Average quickly gave up almost 300 points. However, the situation had stabilized by midday. Then, the Dow was able to find some support from the Fed's post-FOMC statement, which basically reiterated the same commentary from the previous meeting. With less than an hour to trade, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 126 points, but 170 points off session lows. The NASDAQ is down 30. The CBOE Volatility Index ( VIX ) hit multi-month highs of 25.66 and was recently up 2.59 to 23.72. Trading in the options market is very busy heading into the expiration and also reflects the up-tick in investor anxiety levels. 11.2 million calls and 11.6 million puts traded across all the options exchanges. Bullish Flow General Motors (NYSE: GM ) touched a new 52-week low Tuesday morning, but is trading up 2 cents to $31.61, as the US automakers are showing some resilience today. Ford (NYSE: F ) has added 4 cents to $14.35. Meanwhile, in GM options action, a three-way spread traded this morning, as an investor apparently sold 1,000 GM Jan 25 Puts at $1.65 to buy the GM Jan 35 – 40 Call Spread at $1.425. Oil Service HOLDRS (NYSE: OIH ) trades down $2.33 to $154.33 as the sector gets drilled on falling crude oil prices. Crude was recently down $2.07 to $99.12 a barrel and is now a far cry from the levels near $107 seen a little more than one week ago. Meanwhile, in OIH options action, one investor sells the OIH Mar – Apr 160 Put Spread at $2.80, possibly rolling a bullish position in in-the-money puts to avoid the possibility of assignment before the expiration at the end of this week. Bearish Flow ProShares UltraShort S&P 500 (NYSE: SDS ) March calls are seeing interest Tuesday morning with 3900 calls and 575 puts traded on the ETF in the first few minutes. Shares are up $1.11 to $23.12 and the focus is on the Mar 22, 23, 24 and 25 calls. Some investors are likely buying premium on concerns about additional volatility and further losses for the equity market in the days ahead. March options expire at the end of the week. Buying calls on the SDS represents a leveraged and bearish bet on the S&P 500. Implied Volatility Mover IShares South Korea Fund (NYSE: EWY ) is down $1.80 to $56.97 and 15,000 EWY Mar 54 Puts traded at 19 cents and 6000 at 18 cents. Looks buyer-initiated. Volume is now 24,200 vs. 1,509 in open interest. The Mar 54 puts have a delta of -.12 and three trading days of life remaining after today. Some investors might be taking positions on concerns about further fallout in Asia’s equity markets in the days ahead. Tokyo’s Nikkei fell 10.6% Tuesday and is down almost 19% since Wednesday. The South Korea fund has lost about 5% during that time. Implied volatility in the ETF is up 15% to 32 on the week.
