After session close yesterday, spot gold and spot silver were trending in the red. Although contract rates moved into green territory as of yesterday's close, positive index composite trending this morning placed downward pressure on contract gold and silver prices today. The positive action in the stock market continued through the first half of the trading session buoyed by stronger manufacturing data and a better than expected report on first time filers of unemployment benefit applications. The dollar was losing strength as the yen shot up higher and gold futures were on the rise once again. At the halfway point in today's trading session, safe haven asset appeal was on the rise and so was the floor price for April contract gold. At mid-day, gold contract for April delivery was trending higher. Specifically at this point, gold per ounce was up by $9.20 at $1405.30 an ounce. Market index composites ended the day at with solid gains after two days of drastic losses. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended today’s session higher by 1.38 percent at 11,774.06. Precious metals ended the session mixed. Contract gold for April delivery moved higher by .58 percent and finished the day off with a floor price of $1404.20 an ounce.

Top 10 Focus Stocks of The Day: ATAI, GBX, SCR, DCM, ENOC, FSS, HPP, GEO, TSRA, AMAP (Mar 17, 2011)
As I indicated in yesterday's email, I ended up selling my ALZM at $1.28 just before close for and easy 21% profit from my $1.06 entry Friday. I tried to get in that last minute rush that took it up to $1.32. I absolutely love easy trades like that and letting these 10-20% winners pile up is exactly how I win at this game. I posted this to the website last night too, case you haven't been checking it I'll be using it a lot more now. So most of you know I took over PSL a few months ago and changed everything. It was a busy two months redesigning the site but it's starting to take shape. I appreciate the positive feedback I have been getting, trust me, it's only going to get much, much better from here. Now that the major updates like design and locking the content are done, you'll see more trades coming through your email which is a good thing. As you know, I picked up two positions yesterday, CHTL and UTOG as short-term trades. As always, looking for 10% but I'll take whatever comes my way. I did a video on CHTL last night, click here to view it. This is an oversold bottom bounce trade for me which the video clearly details so be sure to take a look. UTOG I picked up late in the day and is a momentum play similar to ALZM. I am looking for $1.25 or so on this one or about 10%. Like I said, I'll be using the website as a form of communication now that the content is locked, so get familiar with using it. A small forum is coming soon for all of us. Also, last night I linked my accounts up with Profit.ly so you can verify my trades. Too many frauds in this business, I like the idea of displaying my trades… I actually endorse it. So check Profit.ly out when you get a chance this weekend. Jason Bond jason@pennystocklive.com

Your daily option s trading wrap up. Sentiment Stocks are broadly higher, as some of the focus shifted to domestic economic news Thursday and away from the troubling events overseas. Jobs were in focus early after the Labor Department said that jobless claims fell by 16,000 to 385,000 last week, which was in-line with expectations. However, continuing claims, at 3.7 million, was a bit better-than-expected. The CPI rose .5% and industrial production edged down .1% in February. Economists were looking for a .4% increase in the CPI and .6% gain in industrial production. The list of leading indicators, at .8%, was also short of the 1% that was expected. However, the Philadelphia Fed Survey surged to 43.4 in March, from 35.9 last month. Economists were looking for a decline to 28.1. What! The mixed economic news, along with solid gains from European stock benchmarks, helped to set a positive tone on Wall Street. At the very least, the data seem to have shifted some of the focus off the nuke crisis, escalating tensions in Middle East – North Africa, and the ongoing European debt problems. Heading into the final hour, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 143 points and the tech-heavy NASDAQ gained 23. Bullish Flow After spiking to 1.17 yesterday, and its best levels since July, the total put-to-call ratio has eased back to .62 Thursday. With an hour left to trade, 13.2 million calls and 8.2 million puts have traded across the options exchanges. However, not only is the options expiration driving a lot of the action, but heavy ex-dividend in a number of exchange-traded funds is distorting the ratio. 693,000 calls traded in the SPDR Financial ETF (NYSE: XLF ) alone. Traders also crawling all over these SPDRs, much related to dividends – Energy Select Sector (NYSE: XLE ), Technology (NYSE: XLK ), and Industrials (NYSE: XLI ). 7.6 million call options traded across all the exchange-traded funds, or three times the normal. The equity-only put-to-call ratio is .75. CBOE Volatility Index (CBOE: VIX ) is down 2.87 to 26.53, as anxiety levels are easing today. Still, the market's fear gauge is up 32.2% on the week and reflects the added earnings uncertainty due to recent events overseas. Apple Computer (NASDAQ: AAPL ) adds $7 to $337.01 and AAPL Mar 340 Call is the most actively traded equity option contract in the first 20 minutes of trading Thursday. Shares had suffered a two-day 6.7% slide prior today, down $30 since March 3, and some investors might be taking positions in anticipation of a rebound before the March expiration. 13,000 of the March 340 calls traded. The contract is $3, or .9% out-of-the-money, with a delta of .33. The market is $1.58 to $1.61. Find more option analysis and trading ideas at Option Trading Strategies . Bearish Flow Lorillard (NYSE: LO ) saw a spike to $83.25 after the FDA posted documents from an FDA subcommittee related to menthol. Shares gave back most of the gains and are trading up 17 cents to $78.51. Options trading is brisk, with 21,000 calls and 38,000 puts traded in the name. LO April 75 Puts have traded 6160 contracts and might be seeing some liquidating trades on the news. Implied volatility is down 16% to 59. Mar 72.5, April 60 and April 80 puts are the next most actives. April 90 and Mar 85s are the most active call options. Implied Volatility Mover China Integrated Energy (NASDAQ: CBEH ), an oil and gas refiner, is down 24.4% to $3.78 after a law firm alleged overpayment and third party transactions in an M&A deal. Shares fell 16% Wednesday and are reeling again today. The company also reported earnings after the close yesterday and, although the initial reaction was positive, CBEH is now near session and 52-week lows. Options volume is 9,445 puts and 1,255 calls. CBEH Sep 2.5 Puts , which have traded 2,915 contracts (65% on the Ask), are the most actives and appear to be seeing fresh buying interest. Mar 5, Apr 2.5, Apr 5 and Jun 2.5 puts are seeing action as well. Implied volatility is down 26% after earnings, but remains elevated at 195.

The event was “A Night at Sardi's,” and the honoree was Walt Disney Co. Chief Executive Robert Iger. The result? Event co-chair Laurie Burrows Grad said the 19th annual gala, founded in honor of her father, Broadway legend Abe Burrows, raised north of $1.6 million for the Alzheimer's Assn.
Asked what brought him to the Beverly Hilton, producer Jerry Bruckheimer replied, “Robert Iger.”
“He's the man,” said Nick Jonas, who came to sing Cole Porter tunes, joining Kristen Bell, Scott Bakula, Taye Diggs, Ken Howard, Audra McDonald, Kevin McKidd, and Kaley Cuoco, Johnny Galecki, Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar and Jim Parsons of the “Big Bang Theory,” among others.
More than 900 guests filed into the ballroom for cocktails, dinner and the musical revue. They included Jeffrey Katzenberg, Barry Meyer, Ron Meyer, Anne Sweeney, Haim Saban, Judd Apatow, Djimon Hounsou and Kimora Lee.
Patrick Dempsey, Jonah Hill, Betty White and David Hyde Pierce participated in the program, which also featured a presentation to Laura Suihkonen Jones, named Caregiver of the Year.
Seth Rogen acted as emcee for the second time, saying, “I was a little worried that they might try to get somebody else to do it this year. But lucky for me, after the Oscars, no other actor ever wants to host anything ever again.”
But Rogen's reasons for coming were heartfelt. Earlier, he said his future mother-in-law suffered from the disease.
Iger accepted the Abe Burrows Entertainment Award in his mother's name. “Everything that I have, everything that I've ever done, I really owe to [my parents]. Everything that I will ever achieve I owe to them as well, because it started with their love and their support.” He then described his mother's plight, saying, “It's incredibly heartbreaking to see someone that you love so much fall prey to this disease and realize that you're relatively powerless to stop it or to even slow it down.”

Small-business supplies supplier Staples (NASDAQ: SPLS ) is due to move up as the economy recovers. The news has been solid though uninspiring for the firm, kind of like the economy in general. The fight for Staples appears to be a slow and steady one, not a sudden win. Options trading investors may consider looking at calls further down the 2011 road to profit from a steady rise in Staples stock. The company reported early this month fourth quarter 2010 net income of $275 million, up 17% from same period in 2009, while revenues were flat at $6.4 billion. For full year 2010, the company reported sales of $24.5 billion, also flat from the 2009. SPLS also announced an increase in its quarterly cash dividend to 10 cents a share. Staples forecast 2011 sales to increase in the low- to mid-single single digits compared with 2010. Earnings per share were projected at $1.50 to $1.60 this year, up from $1.21 for 2010. Staples' stock was late to the market rally that began last September, and ended hitting a high of $23.68 in January. Since then it has fallen and closed yesterday at $19.33. Give Staples a little time to make its climb higher. The September call options – at and near out-of-the-money strikes – can be attractive here as the stock returns to the upside. The Septembers have already garnered some decent open interest, suggesting investors are watching SPLS. The SPLS Sep 22 Calls were offered at 70 cents today with the stock at $19.43. The stock would need to rise 16.8% to hit $22.70, the break-even point for a buyer. Find more analysis and trading ideas at Option Trading Strategies .

The foreclosure rates have lowered since the recession but many believe that it is only a matter of time before they pick up again. The housing sector across America continues to struggle and recent government data supports this fact. Current data on the sales of new and existing homes as well as building permits remain below expectations and are at historically low levels. The moratorium on foreclosures is passing and lenders are now continuing the foreclosure process again. More and more Americans will need to search out alternative home and living options. The number of Americans renting is likely to increase during this time. Renting is a top alternative option for many when transitioning from one permanent living space to another. In Florida, foreclosures were abundant and thus many were left to consider the option of renting during their transitions. Currently, renting price data reveals that the median rental property costs $1414 in Florida according to data prepared via hotigloos.com. Four options are listed from least expensive to most. A studio is the least expensive option. The median rental price of a studio in Florida is listed as $1050. The median rental price of a one bedroom is listed as $1100. The median rental price of a two bedroom is listed as $1354 and the median rental price of a 3 bedroom is listed as $1700. Author: Genny Germano

This article originally appeared on Traders Reserve . In addition to their reputation for tenacity, toughness and perseverance, the Irish are known for their love of beer. And there’s no day that is more evident than today — St. Patrick’s Day. In fact, this holiday has become a favorite among partygoers of all nationalities. It seems as though everyone wants to celebrate the Irish on March 17, and a large number of Americans do so each year with a toast of their favorite alcoholic beverage. In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, I’ve put together a list of my favorite beer stocks. So before you order up the drinks, why not take a look? I have a feeling these stock picks could have you seeing a lot more green this year. Beer Stock #1 – Anheuser-Busch InBev (BUD) Everyone knows — and nearly everyone has sampled — the adult beverages made by Anheuser-Busch InBev (NYSE: BUD ). The company’s flagship products are the Budweiser and Bud Light beer brands, but the company has a portfolio of many of the world’s best-selling brews. In fact, Anheuser-Busch InBev is the world’s largest brewer. Though the company was hurt by a slowdown in consumer spending during the economic downturn, it expects to see much-improved sales in 2011, and that improvement could well begin on St. Patrick’s Day. Beer Stock #2 – Boston Beer Co. (SAM) Boston Beer Company (NYSE: SAM ), makers of the Samuel Adams brand of beers, is a true American success story. The company’s brands also have become a favorite of beer connoisseurs around the world, and they are among the go-to beers with the more sophisticated microbrew drinker. Although the company just reported that fourth-quarter profits essentially doubled over last year, the results were slightly below Wall Street expectations. And though the shares sold off on the news, that sell-off could represent an attractive entry point for bullish traders who want to own this beer stock.

In addition to this report, the U.S. consumer price index will also post and this report will provide data on inflation. The price index is expected to have risen. Adding to the flurry of information this day will be the Philadelphia Fed Index for February which is a regional reading on manufacturing. Friday reporting will be minimal and the momentum created earlier in the week will help to support trending on the last trading session of this week. World news developments will help to push stock market trending this day as there are no major economic reports scheduled to post. Currently, stock futures indicate that the major index composites are positioned to open higher for the first time this week. Stock futures are gaining and are currently posting in the green.
