Today’s Stock Market Dow Jones Industrial Average; Nasdaq; S&P 500 Index Invest Money Profit News Close Notes

XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF

dow2664 Today's Dow Jones Industrial Average spent time trending in a negative direction today. Disappointing economic news that posted during the first half of today's trading session placed a blanket of negative sentiment over Wall Street today and investors felt the weight of the negative pressure. Today's stock market analysis reveals that as of the halfway point in the trading session, the major market index composites were posting numbers in the red. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was negative by .76 percent at 12,710.07 at this point in the day. Posts were weak today and the market moved lower early on in the session. The Institute for Supply Management nonmanufacturing index fell almost 5 points to a reading of 52.8 for April. Analysts were expecting the index to improve over the value posting from March but service sector activity actually weakened. In addition to this negatively skewed report, the ADP report revealed less than expected results also. According to the Automatic Data Processing report, only 179,000 positions were added in April. These numbers were lower than those that posted in March and less than the numbers that were forecasted by many economists leading up to this day. Both reports were less than expected and thus both applied negative pressure to investors during this trading session. The stock market today struggled today to push composite results green as a result. Approaching close, the major index composites in the United States were posting red. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was red by .68 percent at 12719.95. The Nasdaq was red by .47 percent at 2828.23 and the S&P 500 was red by .69 percent at 1347.24. The dollar had sunk to an 18 month low today. Author: Frank Matto

Today’s Gold and Silver Price Per Ounce Contract rates; Spot gold and Spot silver per kilo, gram Price Trending News

XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF

dow2664 Today's gold and silver prices were dropping lower through the first half of the trading session and trending data was skewing towards a negative close for today. The dollar however was dropping lower as well. It had lost strength versus the euro, the British pound and the Japanese yen. Contract gold and Contract silver prices today were posting red values according to market board tracking as of the halfway point in the trading session. Metals were reading red values across the majority of the tracking board at this point.

May contract silver was off by 2.55 as it posted a floor price of 40.04 per troy ounce. Silver has taken a significant hit lately and actually dropped below 40 an ounce during the session today.

Is China’s Economy Hitting a Great Wall?

Jim Chanos, who operates the Kynikos Associates hedge fund, is a legendary
short-seller known for his exhaustive research and good timing. He made a
fortune by shorting the stock of Enron.  But over the past year, Chanos has
been looking at perhaps an even bigger short China.  He believes the country
is in the midst of an extreme real estate bubble.  The major concern is over
the speculative activity with high-rise office buildings and condos (Chanos gave
some of his views on this on CNBC on Tuesday). Consider that Chanos has a strong
grasp of real estate markets he made big profits during the Texas bust in the
1980s as well from the subprime blowup in 2008-2009. As for China, he thinks a
pop of the bubble could have severe consequences.  The impact would ripple
across the globe, especially in countries like Australia, Canada and Brazil. 
There also would be a sudden crash in commodities prices, such as with iron ore
and copper.  Of course, China is the biggest importer of a wide array of
commodities. So, is this just crazy talk from a short-seller who is pushing his
trade?  Interestingly enough, the Chinese government also seems to have
concerns about the economy.  With inflation becoming a problem, it has been
ramping up interest rates and tightening capital requirements.  While prior
efforts have appeared to be temporary, there are now signs that the actions are
having an effect.  For example, real estate prices are starting to decline. Its
also a good bet that the Chinese growth rate is likely to fall off from its
9%-12% clip.  And yes, investors are getting jittery as many well-known Chinese
stocks have had a tough time lately.  On Tuesday, there was a big selloff in
the Internet high-fliers.  Sinas (Nasdaq: SINA ) shares were off 9.5% and
Baidus (Nasdaq: BIDU ) stock saw a drop of 5.2%. But since China has a highly
controlled government, wont it be able to manage a soft landing?  Perhaps. 
But Chanos points out that a whopping 70% of the countrys gross domestic product
is in fixed-asset investment.  This is much higher than the percentages in
Japan during the late 1980s. Other top investors are getting cautious on
China.  A notable one is Jeremy Grantham, who is the chief investment officer
of the $107 billion Grantham Mayo fund.  He thinks there is a 25% chance that
China will slow down over the next year.  In light of all this, it may be a
good idea for investors to lessen some of their enthusiasm in China-related
stocks. Tom Taulli's latest book is " All About Short Selling " and his

Hard Times for Western Digital

tdp2664
InvestorPlace
Sometimes you can't get no respect. Hard drive manufacturer and marketer Western Digital (NYSE: WDC ) plans to present at a conference next week. So what happens? An option trader took a bearish position on the stock yesterday, with some heavy buying of WDC June 38 Puts for $1.60 and $1.61. A trader bought 2,500 options in a one minute against open interest of just 278 contracts, indicating that the puts were purchased to open a new position. WDC fell 2.28% yesterday to close at $38.56. WDC had been trending higher since the end of February and hit a 52-week high of $41.87 on April 21 after its last earnings report, but shares have been falling ever since. We did not see stock activity that was obviously tied to yesterday’s option trading, but it could have been done as a hedge on an existing long position. The put buying could also be a straight bet that WDC will fall more than 5.5% by expiration in less than three weeks. The company said yesterday that it will present at the Robert W. Baird 2011 Growth Stock Conference on May 10. Its next quarterly results are scheduled for July 20. optionMONSTER ® provides stock market insight, option trade ideas, and options education to meet the needs of do-it-yourself investors.

Miller Monroe’s debut collection, entitled ‘WO*MAN’ is about being a sexy, confident MAN. “We're one of the few cultures where men have not embraced sarongs, skirts, lungi, dhoti, lava lava, hakama or whatever you want to call them – men in other cultures have been able to maintain a connection to this comfortable and fashionable piece for centuries.”

Miller Monroe (Louie Manzo & Baby Steinberg) premiere their Orwellian film, which presents a full frontal attack on boredom, and turns fascist aesthetics on its' head with a flick of the wrist.  The manifesto is clear – real men wear whatever the hell they want, and the ladies are more than pleased to see the WO*MAN army take to the runway.  The models are bare-chested, sporting skateboards, Chucks, and snug ankle length skirts – the testosterone is palpable and comes off the runway in waves.  For those with exceptional confidence, MM offers suits in pinstriped wool – code for "Do not f… with me."  Kallvis Gents' also offers skirts for men in aubergine and wolf grey, the collection is restrained and mature, and accessorized with Kyle Osnack's lovely Romanesque gold chains.

The much anticipated House of Gaudet is Shawn Venasse's tragic narrative of silent, bone-crushing bleakness camouflaged by beauty and style.  In one astonishing scene the model's naked body is painted in replica of the felted coat she slips on.  The film expertly captures the gorgeous textures and colours of Norm and Gio Gaudet's coveted couture.

The evening closes with a spectacle by IMAGOZINE – think Alice in Acidland, mix in the royal wedding, and you've got the picture.  Red-coated Beefeaters are flanked by Anubi (the Egyptian god of the afterlife), and royal minions are dressed in Venetian masques.  [FAT]'s fashion crime spree closes with men silently wondering if they have the cojones to pull off a skirt, and women fantasizing about slipping into a Gaudet coat, (and men in skirts).  I end the night by slipping into a hot bath and dreaming of a fashion revolution.

Frugal Fashion: Pippa Middleton post royal wedding

The royal wedding of Catherine Middleton, now the Duchess of Cambridge, and Prince William was full of fashion surprises. There was Catherine's dress, designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen; her 1936 Cartier tiara; the queen in the brightest of yellows; the glorious hats in shapes and colors that would rival any Star Wars movie set and of course, there was Catherine's sister Pippa. The beautiful brunette may have stolen the show from her big sis…well, just a little…in her stunning ivory satin cowl-neck dress, also designed by Burton.

If you didn't know who Pippa Middleton was before the wedding you definitely should now. She was always quite stylish but post-royal wedding one can't help but wonder if she's attempting to boost her fashion cred or if the world is just now taking notice. Either way we can't wait to see what she'll wear next.

The day after the royal wedding Pippa was spotted leaving the Goring Hotel in London where the Middleton family stayed the night before the big day. Looking chic as can be, Pippa left in a pair of white jeans, a cream colored top, royal blue tailored blazer from Zara and neutral flats.  

Part of the Middleton sisters' allure is that everything about them, including their clothing, seems appropriately modest, accessible and down to earth. Pippa's blazer retails for $100, a pretty frugal find already but if you're looking for something even more affordable we've got you covered with the Double-breasted Boonie blazer from J.Crew in dark navy for $79.99, Gibson one-button blazer from Nordstrom for $88, Ponte knit jacket in deep blue from J Jill for $34.99, Casual linen jacket from Forever 21 for $24.80 or the Thatch palm blazer from Anthropologie for $88.

You can achieve this look with any light-colored, light-weight top but Urban Outfitters has some great finds like the Pins and Needles lace inset blouse for $59 or the Line & Dot ruffle-sleeve tie top for $19.99.

 

Pippa's white jeans are ideal for summer and a nod to nautical wear when paired with her royal blue blazer. For a “wear anywhere” pair get the Jegging ankle jeans from American Eagle for $19.99 or the Always Skinny jeans from the Gap in white wash for $59.50.

Pippa's flats are sensible and the neutral color is elegant and versatile, two frugal fashion musts. For a similar look try the City flat in gold from the Gap for $39.95 or for a little extra flare, these embellished round flats in pewter from Forever 21 for $17.80 feature a faceted jewel accent on the toe.

Pippa's sporting a grey bag but any color tote or clutch will work with the neutral colors of your new summer outfit.

Happy shopping!

tdp2664Penny Stock Live
FCEL announced strong news pre-market so a bunch of us in chat grabbed shares. I figured I’d probably see a $.20 cent run once the market opened as the Street poured in the $208m market cap. My first order was for 5k pre-market at $1.74 and then I added the other 15k right at the open on the dip at $1.72 and alerted you. If you pull up a 1 minute chart you’ll see it hits $1.82 early on and then retests $1.82 but fails which was the sign it was time to take profits. I’d hoped for a break to $1.90 but I’m always prepared to lock in profit anytime the risk / reward changes which was the case here. CMCI just isn’t gaining traction amongst traders yet like I’d hoped but it’s still holding 19% since my $1.30 alert. I had an order in to sell my shares at $1.60 and managed to get 1k filled so now I’m down to 4k shares. Well see how tomorrow opens, I’m hoping it gains some liquidity but as I’ve said from the beginning on CMCI, this is a speculative trade. My position in EXAR at $6.31 held its ground today and added about 2% closing at $6.46. Earnings are Thursday after the close, still undecided if I’ll hold into the after hours session on the 5th but I’ll let you as the time comes closer. ANIK continues to lack liquidity which I knew going into the trade at $8.65 when I grabbed 2k shares, but earnings are tomorrow after the close and there is a good chance it runs come Thursday morning. As of right now I’ll be holding through earnings hoping for green to end the week. Tomorrow is the pivot day obviously, I’ll let you know if the plan changes and I decide to sell. Challenge account balance: $7,818 up 10% in 2011 (No positions) Main account balance: $238,980 up 15% in 2011 (4k CMCI @ $1.30, 3.4k EXAR @ $6.31, 2k ANIK @ $8.65)

Watch List For May 4, 2011

tdp2664Penny Stock Live
Here is the technical analysis behind these potential trades . Keep in mind many of them are still setting up but it’s good for you to learn what I look for. $.25 – $1.00 We’ve nailed CHTL before and it might be ready again tomorrow but this will not go out by email if I trade it because it could be a fast mover. I have not heard what’s causing this move and with no news I assume it’s promotion. I’m mad I missed the runup from the $.15 range because it was literally one of the only green stocks on my watch lists today. Last time I caught the runup early on, so I’ll probably pass here unless I get a good feeling in the morning. My trading range as of right now would be $.19 to $.25 as a day trade only. Primary concern here is strength because the last two runs were met with a ton of selling. I’ll be watching to see if those runup buyers will be taking profit or looking for a bigger move this time around. LQMT showed some signs of life today but no news yet. Liquidity is less than desirable but provided nothing changes, this will be a trade for me at some point and I hope it’s a big one. It’s starting to develop support at $.44 but without buyers I’d expect that to fail soon too leaving the low $.30′s next. This fade away pattern is excellent for me because each day a former buyer gives up and sells there is less resistance if and when the catalyst does arrive. PLPE also showed signs of life today but I’m not a buyer yet. Only 73 trades today with less than 200,000 shares trading hands just isn’t enough yet but it’s a good sign. I still think it could test the $.60′s so I’ll give it more time and await a catalyst to scalp in and out of like last time. $1.00 – $3.00 AEZS, USAT, ZLCS and JMBA have all been on recent watch list and USAT and ZLCS are former winners. They all have something in common and that’s they got a little ahead of themselves and have since corrected. AEZS, USAT and ZLCS all being ascending triangle breakout plays. I’m now looking for them to settle at their respective supports, develop sideways trading patterns and identify catalysts for another successful swing. $3.00 – $5.00 COOL and LOCM are trades I’ve nailed recently and I will be watching them closely for entry, although there probably several days to a week out from what I can see. LOCM obviously bad earnings and COOL just pulling back. LOCM will either set up shop at $3.60 support or $3.20 to be the next stop. As off right now LOCM will probably be a trade for me again in the future do to the large short interest and potential to be bought. COOL corrected and I’m watching this $3.10 – $3.30 range to see if establishes a shelf of support. This stock has good traction amongst the trading community and if it starts to walk back up we’d have an ascending triangle formation again and you know what those lead to… i.e. see my USAT, HEK and ZLCS videos and trades. $5.00 – $10.00 While I don’t do watch list stocks for $5 and up, I’d say continue to keep your eye on my two open trades ANIK at $8.65 and EXAR at $6.31 as they’ll both have earnings this week and that will be a good learning lesson for all of us bad or good. Right now I’m comfortable holding both into earnings but that could always change if the risk / reward changes.

Today’s Unemployment Benefits; Applications in Florida; Florida Unemployment Benefit Extension bill notes

XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF

dow2664 The national unemployment rate is slowly improving and the United States continues to benefit from overall economic growth. The job sector has been improving and as a result, the number of Americans that need to apply for first time unemployment benefits recently fell lower. The average unemployment rate is hovering around 8.8 percent nationally, but is significantly higher in the state of Florida. According to state data that posted recently, the unemployment rate in Florida notched lower to 11.1 percent from 11.5 percent. This reading marked three consecutive months that the unemployment rate in Florida fell lower. This year so far has been better for Florida’s unemployment situation when compared to 2010. The unemployment rate last year for the state hit 12 percent. Good news for the state overall, but certain areas in Florida are still struggling with higher unemployment averages. The Florida State Senate has now taken action to move towards initiating business tax cuts that will shrink the unemployment benefits that out of work state residents can receive. The proposal is bill HB 7005. It will now move back to the House and legislators will determine if they should help this bill become law, and ultimately limit unemployment benefits for the out of work state residents. The amount of weeks that benefits would be extended would be cut to no more than 20 weeks. Author: Stephen Johnson

dow2664 Today’s market open will have to pick up and contend with the stock struggles observed during yesterday’s open trading session. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 closed out with numbers in the red and the Dow Jones finished relatively flat for the day. Earnings reports were not as strong as they have been in recent trading days and as a result, the major index composites struggled to go positive. Metal prices were pushed in a negative direction as well due to the recent interest rate hike by India’s central bank. Today, the ADP report will post data pertaining to private sector jobs for April. Analysts expect that the positive trend in this sector will continue. March showed that just over 200,000 jobs were created in the private sector and economists look for April to continue this positive trend. In addition this day, the service sector index report will stem from the Institute for Supply Management. Earnings reports this day will post from companies such as MetLife, Kellog, Prudential Financial, Time Warner and News Corp. Investors will get to glimpse the Labor Department’s report on weekly jobless claims on Thursday. This data is expected to reveal a drop in the number of weekly jobless claims compared to the week prior. Earnings reports this day will post from companies such as Kraft, AIG, Sara Lee and Priceline.com. Investors will wait the week to view the Labor Department’s full jobs reports due to post Friday morning. The unemployment rate is expected to remain about the same at 8.8 percent nationally.

pertaining to private sector jobs for April. Analysts expect that the positive
trend in this sector will continue. March showed that just over 200,000 jobs
were created in the private sector and economists look for April to continue
this positive trend. In addition this day, the service sector index report will
stem from the Institute for Supply Management. Earnings reports this day will
post from companies such as MetLife, Kellog, Prudential Financial, Time Warner
and News Corp. Investors will get to glimpse the Labor Departments report on
weekly jobless claims on Thursday. This data is expected to reveal a drop in the
number of weekly jobless claims compared to the week prior. Earnings reports
this day will post from companies such as Kraft, AIG, Sara Lee and
Priceline.com. Investors will wait the week to view the Labor Departments full
jobs reports due to post Friday morning. The unemployment rate is expected to
remain about the same at 8.8 percent nationally. Constellation Energy is due to
post earnings as is the Washington Post Company and Weight Watchers
International. Author: Frank Matto
