tdp2664 Penny Stock Live KIWB did not work out as I’d hoped with a gap and run. At one point I was up over $2,500 on this one and it’s a good example of the lesson I preach repeatedly to take profits when profits are available. Instead I walked away with just over $100 in profits for my challenge account and about $700 in losses. I was up 10% on Friday and over 20% at times, greed did me in here and I won’t let it happen again. Finally, price action like this is the very reason I shy away from stocks under $.25, they just move up and down too fast for me to enjoy my morning coffee. GPL moved up with silver as expected. Friday’s entry at $3.30 closed up 5% at $3.49. Holding all 7.5k shares and I’d like to see $3.60 or so for my 10% turn. Still accumulating GSTPE from last week, shares are hard to come by on the bid at $.021 but I’m stubborn and have no immediate plans to move unless the trading picks up. My Sunday Swing is LOCM, which I grabbed 5k of Friday at $3.61. The CEO just bought 75,000 shares at $3.58 which is well over a quarter million worth of stock…to me that doesn’t appear to be a smoke screen. Read my blog post here for all the details on how I’ll play this one. Still holding ANIK and actually added to my position today as it started to climb. Picked up an additional 1k shares at $7.54 bringing my new average to $8.08. With any luck it’ll continue to climb tomorrow and start working into that gap. Goal remains the same, 10% so roughly $8.90 gets me out of this one.



The Silver Price Rallied off Friday’s $33.15 Low as High as $38.00

The Gold Price might have made all the correction it intends to make, but that, too, is uncertain. Earlier corrections after Gold/Silver Ratio lows have taken gold down from 4% to 12%. The first we have seen already, and 12% would take us to $1,370. These are possibilities, not predictions. The Silver Price rallied off Friday’s $33.15 low as high as $38.00, but couldn’t pierce that barrier. On Comex silver added $1.827 to close at $37.11, up a gigantic 5.2% but in the aftermarket it added another 81c to reach a price 7.5% higher than Friday’s. Sharp rises are followed by sharp falls, and often then by sharp but truncated rises in turn. Here we must balance jumping in too soon against missing our chance, a prickly mess. For now my eyes are turned longingly toward the 200 day moving average (now $28.48), so often the target of silver’s corrections in this bull market. Before we see that, however, we might see a rally that jumps as high as $42.00, and it might consume quite a bit of time. I don’t believe silver is ready to take the bit in its teeth and run away upside quite yet. Give it time. GOLD on Comex re-captured $11.70 to close at $1,502.90. Clearly lots of folks were looking to visit the bargain basement gold sale, but in the aftermarket, after a $10+ rise, gold stalled around $1,513 and fell back a couple of bucks. $1,510 forms the resistance that is bogging gold down, and above that $1,520 will suck at gold’s feet like quicksand. Clearly, then, a close above $1,520 would send gold higher. Downside remember that $1,462 low. If the Gold Price breaks that then it will have to do more penance, maybe on its knees. Keep calm, it is only a correction in an on-going bull market (primary trend) with another three to ten years to run. As you ought not to have succumbed to the hysteria on the upside, you must not succumb to the despair on the downside. Wait. Compose yourself in patience. Today taught a lesson to all those who arrogantly believe parsing markets is easy. The US DOLLAR INDEX hit a high today at 75.16, but that was one step too far for a fiat currency that had already run so hard. That completed the move and the rest of the day the dollar backed off and ended at 74.68, up a meager 2.8 basis points from yesterday. It’s a correction, folks, ricocheting in its upward flight off the 50 DMA. Least target for rally reaches 77.40. Buttressing that conclusion is the Euro, collapsing like the Tsarist army at Tannenberg. Yen is sprightlier, but looks like it has played out its upmove as well. What happened about 11:45? Something to send stocks, which had languished till then, a-soaring. McHugh of www.technicalindex.com, whom I respect, expects one more leg up before the bear resumes his doomed and dreaded mauling. Dow gained 45.94 to 12,684, S&P500 added 6.09 to end at 1,346.29. This is cloud-cuckoo land, for tis a bear market (primary downtrend lasting 15 – 20 years that began in 2000) and no economic reason appears to imply improving conditions in an economy gutted by central banks, banks, speculation, debt, and exported industry and agriculture. But y’all hold on to your stocks — they’ll make interesting keepsakes for your grandchildren, and who knows, by that time they may have begun recovering. I have thirteen grandchildren: twelve boys and a single girl, Caroline, Justin and Ellen’s daughter. Five months after she was born (July 2007) her illness revealed a malformed heart. After three miraculous surgeries at Vanderbilt in Nashville, where children’s heart surgery was pioneered beginning in the 1940s, she has a rebuilt and efficient heart. She plumped up and is as active as any four year old. But today she was out shopping with her mother and grandmother and fainted. Why, no one can say, but her doctors at Vanderbilt wanted to see her, so Justin and Ellen have taken her up there tonight. Would y’all please pray for Caroline’s complete recovery? I know she is spectacularly beloved because we’ve seen so many miracles in her life already. On this day in 1913 the 17th amendment to the US constitution was ratified. It provided for electing senators by popular vote rather than by state legislatures, thus depriving states of their representation and converting a federated republic into a democracy. Yes, it did indeed mean that much. Argentum et aurum comparenda sunt — – Gold and silver must be bought. – Franklin Sanders, The Moneychanger The-MoneyChanger.com © 2011, The Moneychanger.

Gold Broke Above $1500 an Ounce Again: Income Gold Stocks

XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF

dow2664 On Monday, the price of gold penetrated up through the $1500 an ounce level again. By happenstance, Jim Cramer interviewed Mark Bristow, the CEO of Randgold Resources (GOLD) on the Mad money television show. Cramer considers this stock the best high risk high reward gold miner, with the risk due to the fact that much of the company’s operations are in African countries with significant investment concerns. Randgold, which is one of over twenty stocks on the list of dividend paying gold mining stocks at WallStreetNewsnetwork.com, pays a small yield of 0.2%. It trades at 14 times forward earnings. In terms of gold’s future, Randgold’s Bristow said on the show that the price of gold has a “lot of upside”. So for more conservative investors, what gold stocks are worth looking into? Cramer mentioned that he liked Goldcorp Inc. (GG), one of the few gold miners that pays dividends monthly. Payouts have been made regularly since 2005. The current yield on the stock is 0.9%. The stock sports a forward price to earnings ratio of 18. It has mines in Canada, United States, Mexico, and Central and South America. Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. (FCX) is a stock that pays quarterly and currently yields 2.0%. The company has operations in North and South America, Indonesia; and in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It trades at 8 times forward earnings. For a free list of gold mining stocks that pay dividends , which can be downloaded and updated, go to WallStreetNewsnetwork.com.

Watch List For May 10, 2011

XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF

tdp2664 Penny Stock Live BWEN closed Monday at $1.63 up 4.49% on good Q1 results. With plenty of cash on hand, they could be positioned to climb considering all the energy crisis around the world. I’ll wait to see if the profit takers are out and if bullish volume continues I may jump in. With a current market cap of 174m, it could certainly move on some good news. Support is $1.55 and resistance is $1.85 and $1.94. PSUN went bull today with a solid 7% rally. The 1 minute chart from Monday reveals a bullish start, sideways chop and a bullish close. If it continues to run tomorrow shares could see 10% on their way to $4.00…a break of which opens the door to $4.40 or so. Market cap is a bit bigger than I like at 240m but it’ll do considering the chart. Short interest is pretty high here too, although I’m sure a good portion of that has covered since the recent bottom. With earnings set for next Monday, it’s likely we’ll see more runup before it sells off into the later part of the week. More importantly, check out these insider transactions . LQMT is my under a buck long shot, but still no play here as I’d expect it could drift down to $.42 and then $.33 if the company doesn’t manage to bring some volume in soon. Deals with Apple, Swatch etc… are good enough to keep this one on my list until volume increases or a catalyst appears. I’ve removed PLPE from this group based on this morning’s gap and crap on news. I could be wrong but today was not a good sign in my opinion. MOBI has been a train wreck every since Citron blasted them with a $3 price target. The 3 day turn was short lived as the bears were back today leaving me to believe it’ll break $13 at which point I’ll consider going short for $2-$3 a share on it’s way to $10.



Today’s Stock Market Dow Jones Industrial Average Index close review; Today’s Stock Market Overview; Invest Money Open News

XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF

dow2664 Today’s stock market index composite trends hope to pick up and gain momentum off of yesterday’s positive results. U.S. stocks were on the rise during the last trading session and commodities notched higher as well. The trends from last week, excluding Friday, revealed index composite trend lines that fell off through the latter half of the trading sessions and many worried if this type of index composite trending would be observed to open this trading week. This was not the case and stocks rose for a second straight session on Monday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained almost 46 points on the day yesterday and finished the session with a close value of 12,684.68. McDonald’s was a leading earning report winner on the day as it reported a rise in global sales. Oil price pumped higher once again so the cheaper price per barrel was very short lived. Oil rose over 5 percent on the day and rallied back to 102.55 per barrel. On the docket for today, the Commerce Department will release data on wholesale inventories in the a.m. and just prior to that in the morning, the Labor Department will release April's data regarding import/export price data. Disney will be a major earning report posted this day. Investors will eye this report to get a gauge on business travel and consumer confidence to engage. Wendy's/Arby's group will post earnings data this day as well. Wednesday will bring the U.S. trade balance for March. The trade deficit is expected to have grown over the data that registered in February. Earnings reports this day will stem from Macy's, Cisco Systems and Zipcar. Investors will focus more on the Macy's report. Macy's is a huge department store chain and so investors can glean a lot about consumer confidence from a report associated with one of the biggest department store chains in America. On Thursday, Wall Street will be keenly focused on the weekly report from the Labor Department. Attention will turn towards the weekly jobless claims report stemming from the Labor Department. The department will also release the producer price index for April. Economists are hoping that the weekly jobless claim applications will fall this week. The Commerce Department will post data on March inventories. Earnings reports will post from Kohl's, Nvidia and Nordstrom. To end the week on Friday, the University of Michigan will post data via its preliminary consumer sentiment survey. The data from this survey is expected to reveal the worries that consumers have regarding the price of gas and inflationary potentials, although the recent news regarding Bin Laden's death may help the reading stay steady. The April consumer price index report will post as well via the Labor Department. Author: Frank Matto

Apple is Ripe for Option Selling

I'm often asked why our options trading newsletter is called the "Market Taker Edge". The premise for the trades in the newsletter is that they all have what veteran option traders call Edge , a statistical advantage that relates payout structure to chances of success. Apple Inc. (AAPL): Bull Put Spread There are many ways to look at edge. We'll look at this week's trade, the Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) June 310/320 Bull Put Spread , from a very straightforward perspective. S hort the June 310/320 put spread by shorting the June 320 put and simultaneously buying the June 310 put. The trader should collect a net premium of at least $1.00. The premise to the trade is that if AAPL is continuing to trade above the short put strike (320) when the options expire, the maximum potential profit is locked in at 100% of the credit collected (less commissions). The maximum loss, should Apple be trading below 310 at expiration, is $9.00, or the difference in strikes less the premium collected. Breakeven at expiration for this spread is Apple at $319; as long as Apple is trading north of this level when the options expire, the spread will be profitable. Find more option analysis and trading ideas at Options Trading Strategies . Edge is derived because of the relative expense of AAPL options. Specifically, AAPL options are ripe for selling at this volatility level. From a technical perspective, the 320 level offers huge support. This is a nice high-probability trade. The trader risks nine to win one if you look at this trade from a simple payout perspective. But I give the chances of success with Apple currently trading north of 345, the odds are much better than 9:1. That means the trade has statistical edge .

Will Support Contain Further Declines?

Will the dramatic news events of last week have a lasting impact on stock prices? Headlines had a direct impact on daily stock prices last week when on Monday the market rallied at the opening on the death of Osama bin Laden but then fell back late in the day (Event #1) closing lower. It fell on Thursday's weak jobs numbers (Event #2), but then rose on Friday's lower-than-expected unemployment report (Event #3).  The result of last week's headlines was that while good news was initially treated with buying, the market turned lower, and even Friday's better unemployment numbers didn't have enough impact to attract buyers that could overcome the losses of Wednesday and Thursday. The Dow closed lower than the prior week by 172 points. This is meaningful to technicians who look for market reactions that are opposite to what would ordinarily be expected, since a negative reaction to positive news can be an indication that the overall market is overbought. But we need not depend on subjective interpretation of news for our analysis. Such overbought/oversold conditions are graphically illustrated by our internal indicators. Last week, the slow stochastic flashed a short-term sell signal on Wednesday when the red (fast line) crossed through the blue (slow line) of the indicator — a clear and unbiased response to market conditions. We may see more selling this week, but there is a broad area of support from 12,000 on the Dow to 12,460 that will more than likely hold further declines. And so it is the market's response to this important band of potential buying that will determine its long-term direction and not the daily headlines, no matter how dramatic they may seem.

We’ve traded LOCM successfully twice for solid gains. I picked up a 5k starter position Friday at $3.61. Local.com is a leading online local media company, enables brick-and-mortar businesses to connect with online customers using a variety of digital marketing products. Their first-quarter loss widened as revenue declined and operating expenses increased, while the company's weak forecast for the current quarter has brought shares down to what I believe to be support. This morning they just announced completing the acquisition of the assets of Rovion, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of DigitalPost Interactive, Inc. Local.com entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Rovion on April 4, 2011. Under the terms of the agreement, Local.com acquired the assets of Rovion for approximately $2.3 million in cash. Shortly after the earnings collapse, the CEO picked up 75,000 shares at $3.58 per share . Click here for all the filings on LOCM . I believe we’ll start seeing a string of solid press out of LOCM now that the dust has settled from their earnings announcement. My entry at $3.61 was strategic for key reasons I’ll detail below. First, support appears to be holding up at $3.58 leading me to believe this might be the bottom before LOCM starts to work back toward the $4.10 range where the gap down began. More importantly, there is more support on LOCM right at the $3.20 range which happens to be about 10% below my entry. This means if I’m wrong and $3.20 is support, I won’t be stopped out per my trading rules and can average down if I suspect it will bounce off that level. Finally, I believe the future is bright for LOCM and despite the negative banter you’ll see on the message boards, they are in fact a candidate for a buyout at these prices. That will keep shorts on their toes, many of which I’m sure covered prior to earnings but jumped back in after earnings. Should they start to trip over each other, we could see an April 1st spike all over again in the near future. So in summary, entry was Friday at $3.61 for 5k shares. If I suspect I’m right I may average up another 5k shares like last time. Gap down resistance is 10-15% higher and over 20% if it pushes through the gap in the short term. Should bad news hit I’ll keep my stop loss to 5% from entry, otherwise I’ll play the $3.20 support on any dip.

XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF

dow2664 Market analysis reveals that commodities rallied during the last open trading session in the United States. Precious metal gold and silver price per ounce contract rates both finished in the green as of Monday’s end of day close values. It was a positive day for precious metals all around as the tracking board showed green values all around for Gold, Silver, Platinum and Copper. Copper finished the day higher by 1.03 percent at 4.02 a pound. July contract Platinum finished the day higher by .49 percent at 1795.10. July contract silver pushed higher on the day by 5.18 percent to close at 37.12 per troy ounce. June contract gold moved higher by .78 percent to finish the last trading session at 1503.20 per troy ounce. Gold rates pushed above the 1500 mark once again. The day’s trending was positive, especially for silver since the precious metal dropped off more than 30 percent last week. Last week, silver felt negative pressure stemming not only from a strengthening dollar, but also from the change in margin requirements. Gold was a bit more stable last week as it is a larger market and considered a premiere safe haven. During the interval between yesterday’s session close and today’s session open, spot gold and spot silver prices continued to trend green. Spot gold per gram was posting higher by .58 at 48.52 and spot gold per kilo was higher by 576.78 at 48519.98.

The Gold Price might have made all the correction it intends to make, but that, too, is uncertain. Earlier corrections after Gold/Silver Ratio lows have taken gold down from 4% to 12%. The first we have seen already, and 12% would take us to $1,370. These are possibilities, not predictions. The Silver Price rallied off Friday’s $33.15 low as high as $38.00, but couldn’t pierce that barrier. On Comex silver added $1.827 to close at $37.11, up a gigantic 5.2% but in the aftermarket it added another 81c to reach a price 7.5% higher than Friday’s. Sharp rises are followed by sharp falls, and often then by sharp but truncated rises in turn. Here we must balance jumping in too soon against missing our chance, a prickly mess. For now my eyes are turned longingly toward the 200 day moving average (now $28.48), so often the target of silver’s corrections in this bull market. Before we see that, however, we might see a rally that jumps as high as $42.00, and it might consume quite a bit of time. I don’t believe silver is ready to take the bit in its teeth and run away upside quite yet. Give it time. GOLD on Comex re-captured $11.70 to close at $1,502.90. Clearly lots of folks were looking to visit the bargain basement gold sale, but in the aftermarket, after a $10+ rise, gold stalled around $1,513 and fell back a couple of bucks. $1,510 forms the resistance that is bogging gold down, and above that $1,520 will suck at gold’s feet like quicksand. Clearly, then, a close above $1,520 would send gold higher. Downside remember that $1,462 low. If the Gold Price breaks that then it will have to do more penance, maybe on its knees. Keep calm, it is only a correction in an on-going bull market (primary trend) with another three to ten years to run. As you ought not to have succumbed to the hysteria on the upside, you must not succumb to the despair on the downside. Wait. Compose yourself in patience. Today taught a lesson to all those who arrogantly believe parsing markets is easy. The US DOLLAR INDEX hit a high today at 75.16, but that was one step too far for a fiat currency that had already run so hard. That completed the move and the rest of the day the dollar backed off and ended at 74.68, up a meager 2.8 basis points from yesterday. It’s a correction, folks, ricocheting in its upward flight off the 50 DMA. Least target for rally reaches 77.40. Buttressing that conclusion is the Euro, collapsing like the Tsarist army at Tannenberg. Yen is sprightlier, but looks like it has played out its upmove as well. What happened about 11:45? Something to send stocks, which had languished till then, a-soaring. McHugh of www.technicalindex.com, whom I respect, expects one more leg up before the bear resumes his doomed and dreaded mauling. Dow gained 45.94 to 12,684, S&P500 added 6.09 to end at 1,346.29. This is cloud-cuckoo land, for tis a bear market (primary downtrend lasting 15 – 20 years that began in 2000) and no economic reason appears to imply improving conditions in an economy gutted by central banks, banks, speculation, debt, and exported industry and agriculture. But y’all hold on to your stocks — they’ll make interesting keepsakes for your grandchildren, and who knows, by that time they may have begun recovering. I have thirteen grandchildren: twelve boys and a single girl, Caroline, Justin and Ellen’s daughter. Five months after she was born (July 2007) her illness revealed a malformed heart. After three miraculous surgeries at Vanderbilt in Nashville, where children’s heart surgery was pioneered beginning in the 1940s, she has a rebuilt and efficient heart. She plumped up and is as active as any four year old. But today she was out shopping with her mother and grandmother and fainted. Why, no one can say, but her doctors at Vanderbilt wanted to see her, so Justin and Ellen have taken her up there tonight. Would y’all please pray for Caroline’s complete recovery? I know she is spectacularly beloved because we’ve seen so many miracles in her life already. On this day in 1913 the 17th amendment to the US constitution was ratified.

Today’s Stock Market Dow Jones Industrial Average Index close review; Today’s Stock Market Overview; Invest Money Open News

dow2664

Today’s stock market index composite trends hope to pick up and gain momentum off of yesterday’s positive results. U.S. stocks were on the rise during the last trading session and commodities notched higher as well. The trends from last week, excluding Friday, revealed index composite trend lines that fell off through the latter half of the trading sessions and many worried if this type of index composite trending would be observed to open this trading week. This was not the case and stocks rose for a second straight session on Monday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained almost 46 points on the day yesterday and finished the session with a close value of 12,684.68. McDonald’s was a leading earning report winner on the day as it reported a rise in global sales. Oil price pumped higher once again so the cheaper price per barrel was very short lived. Oil rose over 5 percent on the day and rallied back to 102.55 per barrel. On the docket for today, the Commerce Department will release data on wholesale inventories in the a.m. and just prior to that in the morning, the Labor Department will release April's data regarding import/export price data. Disney will be a major earning report posted this day. Investors will eye this report to get a gauge on business travel and consumer confidence to engage. Wendy's/Arby's group will post earnings data this day as well. Wednesday will bring the U.S. trade balance for March. The trade deficit is expected to have grown over the data that registered in February. Earnings reports this day will stem from Macy's, Cisco Systems and Zipcar. Investors will focus more on the Macy's report. Macy's is a huge department store chain and so investors can glean a lot about consumer confidence from a report associated with one of the biggest department store chains in America. On Thursday, Wall Street will be keenly focused on the weekly report from the Labor Department. Attention will turn towards the weekly jobless claims report stemming from the Labor Department. The department will also release the producer price index for April. Economists are hoping that the weekly jobless claim applications will fall this week. The Commerce Department will post data on March inventories. Earnings reports will post from Kohl's, Nvidia and Nordstrom. To end the week on Friday, the University of Michigan will post data via its preliminary consumer sentiment survey. The data from this survey is expected to reveal the worries that consumers have regarding the price of gas and inflationary potentials, although the recent news regarding Bin Laden's death may help the reading stay steady. The April consumer price index report will post as well via the Labor Department. Author: Frank Matto

Can AOL Turn Things Around?

tdp2664
InvestorPlace
It’s been about a year and a half since  AOL (NYSE: AOL ) was spun off from Time Warner (NYSE: TWX ) and put under the leadership of former Google (NASDAQ: GOOG ) executive Tim Armstrong. AOL reported another plunge in revenues and profits in the first quarter of 2011, but Armstrong continues to wax optimistic about the internet stock’s future. So should you invest in AOL stock? AOL’s first quarter results do not contain much reason for optimism. Its first-quarter profit of $4.7 million , or 4 cents a share, was down 87% from the year before. And its revenues fell 17% to $551.4 million. But the good news was that AOL’s display advertising was up 4% despite a 24% decline in subscription revenue. And AOL has lost considerable market value since it merged with Time Warner in a record $166 billion deal back in early 2001. The New York Times reports that the number of AOL subscribers has dropped 86% from 22 million back then to 3.6 million today. And it is continuing to lose subscribers at the rate of 19,000 a day — not a surprise, considering the move away from dial-up and towards high speed Internet options. AOL’s current market capitalization of $2.1 billion is about 98.7% below its peak of $222 billion at the end of 1999. A lot of AOL’s troubles are not its fault. The company’s current strategy,  launched in 2006 to try to acknowledge that dial-in Internet access was fading as wide access to broadband services was on the rise, focuses on selling advertising through proprietary content. But that content strategy has not been  a rousing success. Since 2006, AOL has seen revenue decline almost 70%, while net income fell from $718 million in profits  to a $790 million loss during the same period. The reason this content strategy is not working is pretty simple. AOL’s content is targeted at a different segment of the population than those who actually subscribe to AOL’s Internet access service. More specifically, AOL subscribers lean right while the content leans left . This gap makes it hard to sell more advertising since the left-leaning content is not attracting enough new viewers to make up for the loss in AOL’s subscriber base. The strategy to reverse AOL’s decline rests on Arianna Huffington who started the Huffington Post and now runs AOL’s content. AOL paid $315 million for HuffPo — a media property that generated $30 million in 2010 revenues and had 25 million unique visitors. And the Times estimates that Huffington Post will generate $60 million in revenues in 2011 and a modest profit. Is Tim Armstrong right that AOL stock is poised to pop? To make that decision, you might consider using the price-to-earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio that compares a stock's market valuation to its forecasted earnings growth. By that measure, if a stock trades at a PEG of 1.0 or lower, it is reasonably priced. Higher than that, and it looks overvalued. But it’s hard to calculate a PEG for AOL because it lost $827 million on last 12-months’ revenues of $2.3 billion so it has no earnings on which to calculate a P/E. Moreover, its earnings are forecast to decline 3% from $1.11 in 2011 to $1.08 in 2012 . With all the other bad news, a 4% increase in display advertising seems like a pretty thin reed on which to base a turnaround bet. Peter Cohan has no financial interest in the securities mentioned.

KIWB did not work out as I’d hoped with a gap and run. At one point I was up over $2,500 on this one and it’s a good example of the lesson I preach repeatedly to take profits when profits are available. Instead I walked away with just over $100 in profits for my challenge account and about $700 in losses. I was up 10% on Friday and over 20% at times, greed did me in here and I won’t let it happen again. Finally, price action like this is the very reason I shy away from stocks under $.25, they just move up and down too fast for me to enjoy my morning coffee. GPL moved up with silver as expected. Friday’s entry at $3.30 closed up 5% at $3.49. Holding all 7.5k shares and I’d like to see $3.60 or so for my 10% turn. Still accumulating GSTPE from last week, shares are hard to come by on the bid at $.021 but I’m stubborn and have no immediate plans to move unless the trading picks up. My Sunday Swing is LOCM, which I grabbed 5k of Friday at $3.61. The CEO just bought 75,000 shares at $3.58 which is well over a quarter million worth of stock…to me that doesn’t appear to be a smoke screen. Read my blog post here for all the details on how I’ll play this one. Still holding ANIK and actually added to my position today as it started to climb. Picked up an additional 1k shares at $7.54 bringing my new average to $8.08. With any luck it’ll continue to climb tomorrow and start working into that gap. Goal remains the same, 10% so roughly $8.90 gets me out of this one.

Buyout Bid has Ralcorp Options Rising

tdp2664
InvestorPlace
The stock of breakfast-cereal maker Ralcorp (NYSE: RAH ) has been rising recently and some options trading investors expect it to continue into next month. First, agri-giant ConAgra (NYSE: CAG ) made an unsolicited $4.9 billion takeover offer for Ralcorp. Then RAH announced strong fiscal second-quarter results, with full-year guidance above analysts’ forecasts. While brands such as Pebbles and Honey Bunches of Oats have been taking market share, RAH’s real strength is in products that grocery stores sell under their own names, those private-label brands that consumers buy to save a bit on the weekly food bill. Consumers evidently believe they match up well with the name brands that spend mucho bucks on advertising campaigns that make them name brands. RAH traded for about $70 before the takeover chatter emerged. Combined with the strong results and CAG’s official $86 offer on Wednesday, the cereal company ended the week at $90.34. On Friday, optionMONSTER’s Heat Seeker tracking system detected the purchase of 1,555 RAH June 95 Calls for $0.85. An equal number of RAH June 100 Calls were sold at the same time for $0.10. There was virtually no open interest in either strike when the session began. Find more option analysis and trading ideas at Options Trading Strategies . This bullish call spread is a bet that CAG will raise its offer for RAH to at least $96. The option strategy cost $0.75 and stands to earn a maximum profit if the stock closes at or above $100 on expiration. Given that RAH has remained above the bid price, investors clearly think that the amount will be increased. Overall option volume in the name was 10 times greater than average in the session, with calls outnumbering puts by 3 to 1. optionMONSTER ® provides stock market insight, option trade ideas, and options education to meet the needs of do-it-yourself investors

dow2664

Market analysis reveals that commodities rallied during the last open trading session in the United States. Precious metal gold and silver price per ounce contract rates both finished in the green as of Monday’s end of day close values. It was a positive day for precious metals all around as the tracking board showed green values all around for Gold, Silver, Platinum and Copper. Copper finished the day higher by 1.03 percent at 4.02 a pound. July contract Platinum finished the day higher by .49 percent at 1795.10. July contract silver pushed higher on the day by 5.18 percent to close at 37.12 per troy ounce. June contract gold moved higher by .78 percent to finish the last trading session at 1503.20 per troy ounce. Gold rates pushed above the 1500 mark once again. The day’s trending was positive, especially for silver since the precious metal dropped off more than 30 percent last week. Last week, silver felt negative pressure stemming not only from a strengthening dollar, but also from the change in margin requirements. Gold was a bit more stable last week as it is a larger market and considered a premiere safe haven. During the interval between yesterday’s session close and today’s session open, spot gold and spot silver prices continued to trend green. Spot gold per gram was posting higher by .58 at 48.52 and spot gold per kilo was higher by 576.78 at 48519.98.

Today’s Stock Market Dow Jones Industrial Average Index close review; Today’s Stock Market Overview; Invest Money Open News

Todays stock market index composite trends hope to pick up and gain momentum
off of yesterdays positive results. U.S. stocks were on the rise during the last
trading session and commodities notched higher as well. The trends from last
week, excluding Friday, revealed index composite trend lines that fell off
through the latter half of the trading sessions and many worried if this type of
index composite trending would be observed to open this trading week. This was
not the case and stocks rose for a second straight session on Monday. The Dow
Jones Industrial Average gained almost 46 points on the day yesterday and
finished the session with a close value of 12,684.68. McDonalds was a leading
earning report winner on the day as it reported a rise in global sales. Oil
price pumped higher once again so the cheaper price per barrel was very short
lived. Oil rose over 5 percent on the day and rallied back to 102.55 per barrel.
On the docket for today, the Commerce Department will release data on wholesale
inventories in the a.m. and just prior to that in the morning, the Labor
Department will release April's data regarding import/export price data.
Disney will be a major earning report posted this day. Investors will eye this
report to get a gauge on business travel and consumer confidence to engage.
Wendy's/Arby's group will post earnings data this day as well. Wednesday
will bring the U.S. trade balance for March. The trade deficit is expected to
have grown over the data that registered in February. Earnings reports this day
will stem from Macy's, Cisco Systems and Zipcar. Investors will focus more on
the Macy's report. Macy's is a huge department store chain and so investors
can glean a lot about consumer confidence from a report associated with one of
the biggest department store chains in America. On Thursday, Wall Street will be
keenly focused on the weekly report from the Labor Department. Attention will
turn towards the weekly jobless claims report stemming from the Labor
Department. The department will also release the producer price index for April.
Economists are hoping that the weekly jobless claim applications will fall this
week. The Commerce Department will post data on March inventories. Earnings
reports will post from Kohl's, Nvidia and Nordstrom. To end the week on
Friday, the University of Michigan will post data via its preliminary consumer
sentiment survey. The data from this survey is expected to reveal the worries
that consumers have regarding the price of gas and inflationary potentials,
although the recent news regarding Bin Laden's death may help the reading stay
steady. The April consumer price index report will post as well via the Labor
Department. Author: Frank Matto

Watch List For May 10, 2011

tdp2664Penny Stock Live
BWEN closed Monday at $1.63 up 4.49% on good Q1 results. With plenty of cash on hand, they could be positioned to climb considering all the energy crisis around the world. I’ll wait to see if the profit takers are out and if bullish volume continues I may jump in. With a current market cap of 174m, it could certainly move on some good news. Support is $1.55 and resistance is $1.85 and $1.94. PSUN went bull today with a solid 7% rally. The 1 minute chart from Monday reveals a bullish start, sideways chop and a bullish close. If it continues to run tomorrow shares could see 10% on their way to $4.00…a break of which opens the door to $4.40 or so. Market cap is a bit bigger than I like at 240m but it’ll do considering the chart. Short interest is pretty high here too, although I’m sure a good portion of that has covered since the recent bottom. With earnings set for next Monday, it’s likely we’ll see more runup before it sells off into the later part of the week. More importantly, check out these insider transactions . LQMT is my under a buck long shot, but still no play here as I’d expect it could drift down to $.42 and then $.33 if the company doesn’t manage to bring some volume in soon. Deals with Apple, Swatch etc… are good enough to keep this one on my list until volume increases or a catalyst appears. I’ve removed PLPE from this group based on this morning’s gap and crap on news. I could be wrong but today was not a good sign in my opinion. MOBI has been a train wreck every since Citron blasted them with a $3 price target. The 3 day turn was short lived as the bears were back today leaving me to believe it’ll break $13 at which point I’ll consider going short for $2-$3 a share on it’s way to $10.



Can AOL Turn Things Around?

Its been about a year and a half since  AOL (NYSE: AOL ) was spun off from
Time Warner (NYSE: TWX ) and put under the leadership of former Google (NASDAQ:
GOOG ) executive Tim Armstrong. AOL reported another plunge in revenues and
profits in the first quarter of 2011, but Armstrong continues to wax optimistic
about the internet stocks future. So should you invest in AOL stock? AOLs first
quarter results do not contain much reason for optimism. Its first-quarter
profit of $4.7 million , or 4 cents a share, was down 87% from the year before.
And its revenues fell 17% to $551.4 million. But the good news was that AOLs
display advertising was up 4% despite a 24% decline in subscription revenue. And
AOL has lost considerable market value since it merged with Time Warner in a
record $166 billion deal back in early 2001. The New York Times reports that the
number of AOL subscribers has dropped 86% from 22 million back then to 3.6
million today. And it is continuing to lose subscribers at the rate of 19,000 a
day not a surprise, considering the move away from dial-up and towards high
speed Internet options. AOLs current market capitalization of $2.1 billion is
about 98.7% below its peak of $222 billion at the end of 1999. A lot of AOLs
troubles are not its fault. The companys current strategy,  launched in 2006 to
try to acknowledge that dial-in Internet access was fading as wide access to
broadband services was on the rise, focuses on selling advertising through
proprietary content. But that content strategy has not been  a rousing success.
Since 2006, AOL has seen revenue decline almost 70%, while net income fell from
$718 million in profits  to a $790 million loss during the same period. The
reason this content strategy is not working is pretty simple. AOLs content is
targeted at a different segment of the population than those who actually
subscribe to AOLs Internet access service. More specifically, AOL subscribers
lean right while the content leans left . This gap makes it hard to sell more
advertising since the left-leaning content is not attracting enough new viewers
to make up for the loss in AOLs subscriber base. The strategy to reverse AOLs
decline rests on Arianna Huffington who started the Huffington Post and now runs
AOLs content. AOL paid $315 million for HuffPo a media property that generated
$30 million in 2010 revenues and had 25 million unique visitors. And the Times
estimates that Huffington Post will generate $60 million in revenues in 2011 and
a modest profit. Is Tim Armstrong right that AOL stock is poised to pop? To make
that decision, you might consider using the price-to-earnings-to-growth (PEG)
ratio that compares a stock's market valuation to its forecasted earnings
growth. By that measure, if a stock trades at a PEG of 1.0 or lower, it is
reasonably priced. Higher than that, and it looks overvalued. But its hard to
calculate a PEG for AOL because it lost $827 million on last 12-months revenues
of $2.3 billion so it has no earnings on which to calculate a P/E. Moreover, its
earnings are forecast to decline 3% from $1.11 in 2011 to $1.08 in 2012 . With
all the other bad news, a 4% increase in display advertising seems like a
pretty thin reed on which to base a turnaround bet. Peter Cohan has no financial
interest in the securities mentioned.
