Dow Retakes 12,000 as Japan Fears Subside
And just like that, the slide by stocks in the first half of last week is gone. As the main focus of attention by traders has moved in recent days from oil prices to the events in Japan, a stabilization in events over the weekend at the nuclear power plant in Fukushima has seemingly prompted investors to put a little more money on the table as willingness to take on risk ascends. On Monday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed back above 12,000 for the first time since March 11, ending up 178 points to 12,037. The Nasdaq rose 1.8% to 2692 and the S&P 500 gained 1.5% to 1298. In fact, the equities market may have now worked its way back into the no man’s land where oil prices may begin to return as the market’s leading spark. Higher crude prices may have helped soothe fears of lower consumer demand in Japan, but another run above $105 a barrel may remind investors of the downside to Middle East turmoil that never really went away. Oil gained 1.2% to finish above $102 a barrel for the first time since March 11, as energy stocks surged across the board. In particular, smaller oil drilling and equipment stocks were again catching some speculative bids they had enjoyed before the earthquake in Japan stopped their momentum. Small-cap name Tesco (NASDAQ: TESO ), for example, gained nearly 9%, while larger rival Oceaneering International (NYSE: OII ) gained more than 6%. Speculative euphoria also was seen across the small-cap space — the Russell 2000 jumped 2.3% to close at its highest level since March 9. And therein lies the question behind the nature of the 3.3% bounceback in stocks over the past three sessions: Is the recent rally a function of risk-taking that indicates stocks have more upside, or that the outperformance of small-caps will spell an early demise? With not much expected this week in the way of corporate of economic data, the momentum in stocks is likely to continue being decided by events in Japan and the Middle East.

Buy Jabil Calls as Firm Rebounds
With the start of next earnings season just three weeks away, there is a surprisingly robust lineup of earnings plays this week for options trading investors. Tech has a strong presence with the likes of Adobe (NASDAQ: ADBE ), Red Hat (NYSE: RHT ), Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL ), Research In Motion (NASDAQ: RIMM ), and our pick today — Jabil Circuit (NYSE: JBL ). JBL operates in the printed circuit board space, which was rocked last week when Sanmina-SCI (NASDAQ: SANM ) warned that second-quarter earnings (due in late April) would fall short due to a variety of reasons including a potential slowdown in the tech market. JBL fell on the news but found solid support at its 100-day moving average. Jabil Circuit (NYSE: JBL) JBL reports on Tuesday after the close, with analysts expecting a robust 75% increase in per-share earnings from a year ago. That may sound high, but it would represent the lowest growth of the past five quarters. What's more, JBL hasn't missed an estimate in two years and has gained an average of more than 6% in the week following the past three reports. Sentiment is largely positive toward JBL, but it should be for a stock that is up 90% in the past seven months. Options players are showing some hesitation of late, as the put/call ratio has been on the rise for the past month and now stands at a four-month high. So we might see some unwinding in the options pits that could add buying pressure. With a record of beating earnings, relatively modest growth expectations, strong chart support, and recent negative news priced into the shares, JBL is set up for post-earnings upside. With plenty of time until April expiration, we recommend buying the front-month JBL April 19 Call for less than $1.50 to take advantage of the expected move.

TODAY’S STOCK MARKET DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL AVERAGE DJI, S&P 500, NASDAQ INDEX TRENDS, NOTES March 21st, 2011 Approaching Mid Day

Negocioenlinea
Stocks surge on Monday with a $39 billion corporate merger leading the way. Verizon Communications announced its plan to purchase fellow telecommunications giant T-Mobile USA.

Wave Theory for Alternative Investments

Negocioenlinea
I love alternative investments. They can be much more exciting than stocks and bonds. Venture capital, private equity, hedge funds, commodities, and precious metals make up the investment arena of ‘alternatives’. Wave Theory For Alternative Investments: Riding The Wave with Hedge Funds, Commodities, and Venture Capital by Stephen Todd Walker is the most complete book on alternative investments I have ever read. It is filled with numerous tables, charts, and graphs to make for easy reading. Chapter 3 is probably the most important as it covers the advantages and disadvantages of all types of alternatives, and even more important, the section called Top 25 Alternative Surfing Maneuvers. Here’s a bit of trivia from the book. Did you know that back in 1999, the CIA (yes the US government’s Central Intelligence Agency) set up its own venture capital fund? The fund, called In-Q-Tel, has invested in over 100 companies. It even invested in the technology that is now known as Google Earth. Chapter 9 is my favorite section of the book, called Venture Capital Investment Vehicles. It covers what to invest in, how to invest, and the top twenty questions you should be asking before committing your money. One great feature of the book is that Walker provides plenty of suggested web sites and other books. If you have ever been interested in investing in alternative investments, or have started to dig your foot in the alternative water, or even if you have already been investing for a while, you should read Wave Theory For Alternative Investments .

Trend lines for the major market index composites ended last week skewed in a positive direction. Indices closed out in the green on the last session of trading in the U.S. and this momentum carried through the weekend. Prior to opening bell this morning, stock market futures tracking revealed that the major market indices were posting green and that stocks were positioned for a higher open. The market surged early this morning with the news that AT&T planned to acquire T-mobile for $39 billion. Some analysts report that the purchase will prove profitable for Apple as the iPhone and iPad will be accessible to a wider customer base when they officially become part of AT&T network. Investors will once again be looking to developments in Japan and in Libya throughout the day as they position themselves in the market. Encouraging news is reported from Japan as engineers are able to make progress cooling nuclear reactors that overheated as a result of the devastating earthquake and tsunami that hit March 11th. With a potential nuclear crisis diverted, attention has turned to the Middle East as an airstrike launched by a coalition including the U.S. and allies has focused on Libyan military targets as well as Moammar Gadhafi’s compound. Oil prices jumped following the attack and continue to be monitored closely as new developments are reported. Approaching mid day the major market indexes continue to trend in the green.

Monday’s Apple Rumors — T-Mobile, No iPhone For You!
Here are your Apple rumors and news items for Monday: No iPhone for You: AT&Ts
(NYSE: T ) acquisition of Deutsche Telekoms (PINK: DTEGY ) T-Mobile USA for $39
billion in cash and stock excited not only telecom investors, but a large number
of T-Mobile subscribers, who were convinced that they would now have access to
Apples (NASDAQ: AAPL ) line of smartphones. But T-Mobile itself extinguished
those expectations when it posted a list of frequently asked questions about the
merger on its website Sunday. The acquisition is expected to be completed in
approximately 12 months. We do not offer the iPhone. The implication is that
T-Mobile customers will have to wait until the company is a single entity to use
an iPhone. By that time, its likely that both T-Mobile and AT&T subscribers
will be upgrading to the rumored iPhone 5 that will be compatible with AT&Ts 4G
LTE network. Mac App Store Delivers: A recent study from analytics firm Distimo
found that after just one month of business, Apples Mac App Store is already
generating about 50% of the revenue of the iPad App Store. Based on results for
the top 300 apps in both stores, Distimo found that that the iPad App Store sees
more downloads than its home PC counterpart, but the average price of Mac App
Store apps is seven times higher than that of those in the iPad store. The
higher price of Mac apps is responsible for the rapid growth of the store. Also
telling is that the Mac App Store offers the fewest free apps among all app
stores including those operated by Google (NASDAQ: GOOG ) and Research In Motion
(NASDAQ: RIMM ). Last Stop, Grand Central: Just weeks after plans for an Apple
store in New Yorks Grand Central Station were made public, the New York
Observers Beta Beat blog reported on Monday that those plans have been
cancelled. While none of the parties involved in preliminary talks commented on
the cancellation, Beta Beat s source indicated that it was the Metro Transit
Authority which halted the development of the store. As of this writing, Anthony
John Agnello did not own a position in any of the stocks named here. Follow him

FedEx Corporation (NYSE: FDX) Delivers Strong Q4 Earnings Outlook
FedEx Corporation (NYSE: FDX) reported third fiscal quarter EPS (ex LTL restructuring charge) of $0.81 per share on Thursday, which was essentially in line with consensus of $0.82 per share and in line with its downside pre-report from early February. The Company posted fiscal third quarter earnings today of $231 million or $0.73 per share, down 3% from $239 million or $0.76 per share in last year's third quarter. This 3% fall year over year is due to rising fuel prices and harsh winter weather. Excluding $0.08 per share of Freight restructuring costs, adjusted earnings of $0.81 per share has been posted which is in line with the company’s lowered guidance of $0.70- 0.90 per share, 1 cent short of analyst expectations of $0.82 per share. Revenue grew 11%, to $9.66 billion from $8.70 billion the previous year, beating analysts' estimate of $9.60 billion. Results were constrained by severe weather and fuel which produced lost revenue and drove higher costs. The Company issued fiscal fourth quarter EPS guidance of $1.66-1.83 per share, above consensus of $1.66 per share. It also said its full-year earnings forecast is in a range of $4.83 to $5 per share, which is ahead of analyst forecasts at the high end. Deutsche Bank analysts cut their price target on FDX's shares from $136.00 to $133.00 & have a "buy" rating on the stock. Similarly, UBS AG analysts cut their price target on FDX's shares from $117.00 to $101.00 & have a "buy" rating on the stock. Raymond James analysts upgraded FDX's shares from a "market perform" rating to an "outperform" rating. Shares of the company jumped $1.39 or 1.58% to $89.28 after the company raised its fourth-quarter earnings estimates. The stock has 52 week range of $69.78-$98.52. Volume of 3.96 million shares has been traded compared to the daily average of 2.97 million shares.

Live and on watch for 3/21/11
Live … As you know, I picked up 5,000 shares of COOL at $2.46 Friday. It has good support in this price range, has had plenty of chance to fall below $2.00 and the longer it holds up here the more shorts will get nervous. As of right now, I'll make another buy if it dips to $2.25-$2.30. Their net revenues are derived from sales of video games and for the three months ended January 31, 2011 increased to $48.5 million from $29.2 million in the comparable quarter last year. I'm looking to sell into the next pop. Still holding CHTL from Wednesday's alert. To see the video click here . I now have 36,000 shares total averaged in at $.187. The current ask is $.193 and has excellent support in the $.17-$.18 range. My goal remains the same here, 15% or so around $.22. This is a technical based trade, specifically oversold Wm%R which crossed the -80 line Friday, so it appears my timing could not have been better. You'll see what I mean if you watch the video. On watch … LQMT announced an exclusive license with Swatch Group Ltd., fluff compared to their exclusive license with Apple. Problem is, Apple is so secretive, nobody really knows what their intent is still. It's rumored the technology is going into fuel cells. I find Liquidmetal attractive at $.60 because recently, it seems to have good support there. If I decide to enter here, my short-term goal is 15% from this price range barring any major news. NEXS is a potential short, as early as tomorrow if it starts to break down. Friday's spike occurred after news of their light bulbs being offered on Lowes.com and in 1,100 Lowe’s stores beginning June 2011. If I suspect it's going to crack, I'll be looking for $.25 – $.50 cents before I cover. I believe this news has already been factored into the price based on the run-up, so once the herd loses interest it'll pull back to support at $3.75 – $3.50 in the short-term.. Another one I am watching hard is GFRE . They just had great earnings, but are getting swept up in the whole small cap China storm. When it bottoms in the $6′s somewhere I will pounce on it. While it's above my normal $5 range, the upside payoff is obvious over the short-term. WRES headed up last week while the overall markets got hammered. The CEO just picked up another 10,000 shares on the 11th and I think we have excellent support here in the low $4 range. I'll be looking to add a position this week with a short-term 15-20% goal around $5.00. Jason Bond jason@pennystocklive.com

Ina Soltani gets dressy at Style Fashion Week L.A.
ing2514
Ina Soltani was Friday night's designer du jour at Style Fashion Week L.A. — which has been hosting events at downtown's Vibiana venue this season.
And after keeping the audience waiting a solid hour past her show's scheduled time, the Sarajevo-born L.A. designer marched out a series of formal and dressy gowns and cocktail frocks, mostly in crimson, black-and-white, metallic gold and disco-ball silver.
The collection boasted a handful of charming looks — namely, a fetching gold lame bustier fit-and-flare dress that fit like a dream and a dramatic eggplant-hued chiffon gown ruched to within an inch of its life (somehow it worked).
But, unfortunately, the fit was awry on many of the dresses. A rouge bum cheek peeked out of one mini-dress, for example, while the zipper on a few gowns bunched up in the back.
And, though the designer can certainly craft a formal gown, dresses including a red-and-white one-shouldered number that affected a living, breathing Valentine's Day card started to feel a bit Jessica McClintock-style prom — which was perhaps the point?

Your stylist: Sleek summer sunglasses for guys
ing2514
Resident Image stylist and market editor Melissa Magsaysay soothes your sartorial woes in the weekly Your Stylist blog column
Hi Melissa,
I read your piece about sunglasses in Sunday's newspaper and wondered if you could recommend some of the top sunglasses for men this spring/summer season for the Las Vegas pool scene. I would appreciate it if you would. Also, I am not interested in round frames -but any other shapes you think are fashionable now. If you could specify brands or specific styles, I would be very grateful.
Thank you. Naomi
Las Vegas pool scene, huh? Shiny gold Elvis glasses are the first that come to mind, but I know that's not what you mean and not actually something I would ever recommend, unless you are of course, an Elvis impersonator working on your tan.
Assuming Elvis glasses are out, there are plenty of sleek men's frames out there for spring/summer at the moment, some classics as well as a few more flashier styles.
You cannot go wrong of course with the traditional aviator frames from Ray-Ban for $189.95. They're flattering to many face shapes, lightweight and versatile enough to wear by the pool or with a suit. Plus, they never really go out of style, so chances are you'll still like them next season. They come in a variety of metal and lens colors now, but I'm partial to the gold frame and green lens combo because the subtle bottle green of the lens pops just enough and the gold looks so warm against the sun's rays.
I also love the limited edition Steve McQueen sunglasses from Persol for $280. The style was famously worn by the actor in “The Thomas Crown Affair” and today a slew of other celebs like Robert Pattinson and Zac Efron are sporting them. These are definitely for the guy who's got a rugged side but still takes time to manscape and get dressed for dinner.
Kind of a hybrid of the Ray-Ban aviators and the McQueen glasses are the tortoise aviators from Raf Simons for $370. I love the smoky lens and the contrasting frames. These make more of a style statement than regular old aviators, so if you're a bit more daring with your accessories, these bold frames are a good choice. Do not however, drink too many yard-long cocktails by the pool and leave them lying about. These glasses don't come cheap.
Flat top glasses have been a big trend with men's sunglasses. Kanye West and Lil Wayne wear them and they really stand out in a big way because of the severe straight line across the brow. The RGB Flat Top from Super, $172, is a straight forward take on this trend. They come in black but with your choice of a different color on the inside of the arm. I particularly like the blue, because it's a nice pop of color without being too showy. The Lyndel style from Mosley Tribes, $180, also has that strong straight line across the brow and an overall angular shape, but the light cognac tortoise frames lighten them up a bit
compared with the black and blue version.
If you're into that sporty, Carrera sunglass shape look that's been popular for several years with men and women, then the Modified Square style from Oliver Peoples, $375, is a good option for a more modern approach to that same look. The thick black frames really stand out from the face in a bold way that's sure to grab some attention.
And lastly, two-toned color frames are a huge trend this season and the teal and white Dylan frames from Urban Outfitters for $18 are quirky and add a nice splash of color to a golden tan and a pair of simple board shorts. These look great on a guy who's a bit more laid back, isn't afraid of wearing a little color and stepping outside his neutral color zone. They don't give off the same sophisticated vine as the others but, hey, at least if you accidentally leave them at the craps table, you won't be devastated.
