The market was trending in the green approaching mid day on Friday. Stocks
boasted solid gains as investors turned their attention from the ongoing
military conflict in Libya and ongoing nuclear facility restoration and
containment in Japan. The Tech sector pushed the market forward as there
appeared to be little reaction from the releases on the economic calendar today.
The University of Michigans consumer sentiment survey for March revealed a
reading of 68.2, which fell in line with expectations and the third and final
reading on the U.S. GDP came in at 3.1%, falling just above economists
expectations. With under one half of an hour before close, stocks have started
to pull back with the major market indexes holding just above the neutral line.
Overall the market is on track to finish out its third straight day of gains on
Friday, with the Dow headed for its best weekly performance since July. Next
week on the economic calendar investors will look for reports on personal income
and spending, consumer confidence, the most recent ADP Employment Change, weekly
initial jobless claims, monthly nonfarm payrolls, ISM data, and data on
construction spending. At the approach of close the major market indexes have
continued the positve trending in the green . The Dow gained 49.76 points or
0.41% to 12220.32. The Nasdaq increased 6.98 points or 0.25% to 2743.19. The S&P
500 rose 4.13 points or 0.32% to 1313.79. The Treasuries 10-year yield was up
0.04 to 3.44%. Oil declines by 0.07 to $105.54 a barrel. The U.S. dollar gained
0.0055 to the Euro at $1.41. Author: Pamela Frost

Stocks Going Ex Dividend the Fifth Week of March

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 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. Nicor Inc. (GAS) market cap: $2.4B ex div date: 3/29/2011 yield: 3.6% Kilroy Realty Corporation (KRC) market cap: $2.0B ex div date: 3/29/2011 yield: 3.7% National Health Investors Inc (NHI) market cap: $1.2B ex div date: 3/29/2011 yield: 5.5% Nucor Corporation (NUE) market cap: $14.8B ex div date: 3/29/2011 yield: 3.1% PG&E Corporation (PCG) market cap: $18.0B ex div date: 3/29/2011 yield: 4.0% 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 the article was written.

Unusual Options Trades in Affymax, AK Steel
Biopharmaceutical firm Affymax (NASDAQ: AFFY ) has had big problems since it
reported last June that its Hematide kidney medicine increased the risk of heart
failure. It plunged to about $6 on the news and has been grinding sideways ever
since. However, some options trading investors have regained confidence in the
drug developer. OptionMONSTERs tracking systems detected the sale of 3,000 AFFY
May 6 Puts for $0.55 against no existing open interest. AFFY was quoted at $5.94
when the activity occurred, but then started climbing. It was up 3.05% to $6.09
in morning trading. Todays put sale reflects a belief it will remain at or above
that level. If the investor is right, he or she will keep the $0.55 credit. If
theyre wrong theyll have to buy the stock for $6. But given the income earned,
they wont lose money as long as it stays above $5.45. The put sale pushed
overall options volume in AFFY to 15 times greater than average. The company
also sold 8.47 million shares in a secondary offering last week and said it
plans to present new data on Hematide, now known as peginesatide at the National
Kidney Foundation Spring Clinical Meeting on April 27. Affymax (NASDAQ: AFFY)
(Chart courtesy of tradeMONSTER ) Options trading today in AK Steel (NYSE: AKS )
suggest the stock will continue to trade in a tight range. AKS rose 2.27% to
$15.78 this morning, and has remained mostly between $17 and $14 since November.
There was a sale of 5,000 of the AKS January 2013 20 Calls , almost all of them
for $1.95. That was a cent below the bid price, with a wide spread, clearly
indicating a sale. Previous open interest was just 309 contracts, so this was a
new opening position. There was no corresponding activity in the underlying
shares, so this could be a naked call sale as a bet AKS will stay below $20 over
the long term even though it was above $25 a year ago. It is also possible that
the options were sold against an existing long position as a covered-call trade
which would be bullish up to $20. optionMONSTER ® provides stock market

These are stocks which have virtually no debt and are trading close to the amount of cash the company has per share. Without any debt and a lot of cash,the company would be unlikely to go out of business, unless it is a biotech with a high burn rate. Also, the cash can make the company a possible takeover candidate.

How to Avoid Dividend Cutters at All Costs
Dividend stocks cut dividends when they either expect business to deteriorate
to an extent where all cash might be needed to sustain the business or because
they cannot afford to pay the dividend. When management expects losses that
would drain cash in the near future, they are very likely to cut distributions.
When dividends are cut, stock prices typically nosedive as the last investors
who have held on hoping for better news leave the sinking ship. As a rule, I
always sell when a company announces that it would be cutting dividends. Over
the past three years I have had four situations, where I have had to deal with
dividend cutters and eliminators. In 2008 American Capital (NASDAQ: ACAS )
suspended its dividend. In 2009 General Electric (NYSE: GE ) and State Street
(NYSE: STT ) also cut distributions, in the middle of the financial crisis. In
2010 oil giant British Petroleum (NYSE: BP ) suspended distributions, amidst
pressure from the U.S. Government to hold onto its cash in order to be able to
pay for the oil spill it had created. In all but one of the situations, I would
have been better off simply holding on, without selling. The reason why I
typically sell after a dividend cut is that as a group, companies that cut and
eliminate dividends have underperformed the market since 1972 according to a
study by Ned Davis Research . Another reason why I sell is that with dividend
cutters and eliminators you have the risk that the company might be on the brink
of collapse. If your strategy was to buy companies after cutting dividends, you
would probably realize a lot in gains when times are favorable, like in 2009.
However, during severe bear markets, such as the one between 2007 and 2009
investors buying after a dividend cut might experience losses that could lead to
total loss of principal. And once investors lose their capital, they are no
longer in the game. If you had a 50% chance for an opportunity to make a 100%
gain in one year, along with a 50% chance for an opportunity to lose 100% of
your capital you should clearly stay away from this investment. The goal of
successful dividend investing is not only generating a rising stream of income,
but also ensuring that principal grows over time as well. Investors who
purchased General Electric (NYSE: GE ), State Street (NYSE: STT ) and BP plc
(NYSE: BP ) after the cut were plain lucky. Investors who purchased Citigroup
(NYSE: C ), Bank of America (NYSE: BAC ) and American International Group (NYSE:
AIG ) after the cut suffered severe losses . But those losses were nothing in
comparison to investors who purchased Lehman Brothers, General Motors (NYSE: GM
) or Washington Mutual. The moral of the story is that in order to be successful
in investing, one needs to be able to find a strategy that offers some edge and
some positive expectancy. It is also important to stick to that strategy and to
only exit the position when a predetermined condition at the time of position
initiation is triggered. Full disclosure: No positions in stocks mentioned

Update On This Watchlist Stock
The price action on this one is slipping a bit quicker than I would like to see so I am adjusting my price target on GFRE is $5.80 and here is why I think this one is in play. These guys had great earnings and a top notch auditor, not like CCME. They are being dragged down by the whole China scare. Its really a swing trade that might take a while to reverse. The bet right now is if it is a fraud like CCME or not. If its not, I am looking for 50% from here quick. My thought is it could be like CAST which got hit after earnings too then rebounded. As with any trade, I’ll update my plan as the days go on but that’s what I am looking for right now. No position in GFRE, CCME or CAST for me right now
