Does Allied Nevada Measure Up? Not Against This Gold Miner
During the past three quarters, respected hedge fund manager Seth Klarmans
Baupost Group has accumulated 3.5 million shares, or 4% of the stock, in junior
gold producer Allied Nevada Gold (NYSE: ANV ). Its stock is up 22.8% in the last
year and trades at an incredibly steep PE multiple. Despite this fact, Klarman
continues buying. Klarman is a brilliant man and many investors probably are
tempted to follow suit. But before doing so, why not consider a safer option
like Yamana Gold (NYSE: AUY )? Gold Production In the first nine months of 2011,
Allied Nevada produced 69,840 ounces of gold, 16.5% less than a year ago.
Fortunately, its average realized price per ounce was $1,543, 29% higher
year-over-year. Translated into actual revenue, Allied Nevada grew gold sales in
this period by 10.1% to $105.8 million. However, because of delays in equipment
delivery to its Hycroft mine, Allied Nevada is behind schedule. As a result, the
company will produce 100,000 ounces of gold in 2011, about 15,000 shy of
expectations. According to Allied Nevada, the Hycroft mine has a potential 17
million ounces of gold available over its useful life. From this perspective, a
shortfall isnt a big deal as long as gold prices remain high. However, a 20%
drop in the price of gold from current levels around $1,690 an ounce amounts to
$5 million in lost revenue and a couple of million in operating income. Size
Comparison To give you an idea how much bigger Yamana Gold is compared to Allied
Nevada, check out Yamanas silver production for the first nine months of the
year. It produced 7 million ounces of silver to the end of September at an
average selling price of $36.42 an ounce, generating revenue of $255 million
2.2 times Allied Nevadas total revenue for both gold and silver . Size has its
advantages. While Allied Nevada currently mines from just the Hycroft property
(although it does have several others in the advanced exploration stage), Yamana
has seven mines operating in Brazil, Chile, Argentina and its newest (Mercedes)
in Sonora, Mexico. Yamana expects production at its Mexican mine will grow to
more than 130,000 gold equivalent ounces by sometime in 2013. In addition to the
newly opened Mercedes, it has three additional mines planned in Brazil, all of
which should open by the end of 2013. In terms of diversification, theres no
comparison.

Todays Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA Index DJX DJI; Nasdaq Index; S&P 500 Stock Market INvesting News Today
The primary stock indicators pushed through more positive territory during the
opening trading session this week. Global indicators closed on positive ground.
European stocks were significantly stronger last session. This positive action,
paired with the better than expected sales from Black Friday through Cyber
Monday, helped push the primary indices in the U.S. higher. The stronger than
expected sales during this time period pumped up investor confidence and
optimism. This resulted in investor positioning which pushed stocks towards
solid gains. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, Nasdaq, and S&P 500 closed green
across the board. For now, the anxieties pertaining to the eurozone debt crisis
have subsided which allowed indices to rise. The DJIA finished the day stronger
by 2.59 percent at 11,523.01. The Nasdaq closed higher by 3.52 percent at
2,527.34 and the S&P 500 finished the day green by 2.92 percent at 1,192.55. The
positive outcomes for stocks ended a several day losing streak for the three
primary indices in the U.S. It was a broad rally but Europes situation is still
unresolved and the reality of this is likely to set in as the week moves
forward. New home sales data in the U.S. rose in October by 1.3 percent. Gold
futures rose as did oil price per barrel. The dollar dropped lower to the euro
last session. Frank Matto

XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
tdp2664 Penny Stock Live November was a very difficult market to swing trade and I definitely took a few punches on the chin, but that’s trading right? My mentor taught me never get too excited when things go well or too upset when they go wrong, just trade the plan and win more than you lose. Well today I did just that buying and alerting Hyperdynamics Corp. ( NYSE:HDY ) at $3.06 on sound technical analysis. This is a stock I know well and it’s been on my watch list for quite some time. So today when it gaped up and held the $3.08 range all day I knew the risk was well worth the reward. The video below details what I saw and why I alerted my subscribers at $3.06. The close was solid at $3.24 but the after hours session was thrilling driving shares as high at $4 at times before closing at $3.70 as you can see on the chart…a solid 20% already. Based on this price action I think we see HDY trade between here and $4.50 in the short term. Watch this 10 minute video to understand why I alert my subscribers to HDY today.

Ron Paul Outlines Progressives’ Systematic Attack on Americans
XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
tdp2664 InvestorPlace During the past 100 years, American voters have been brainwashed into believing a complete portfolio of nonsense packaged by self-serving bankers and politicians. It is difficult, of course, to admit that most of what we have grown up believing about our government structure and monetary system is deeply flawed and skewed with self-interest. Ron Paul has been outlining the ongoing fraud to Americans for decades. I have followed his work from the start, and I am not aware of any other politician in Washington who better understands the mess we are in and what to do about it. I hope you will read Ron Paul's End the Fed and Liberty Defined and come to realize that there is indeed a chance to get America back on the true Federal Republic course envisioned by Thomas Jefferson. In Liberty Defined, Ron Paul puts the laser light on the dangers of progressive thinking: “The Progressive Era in the early part of the twentieth century saw a systematic attack on the principles of liberty by both Democrats and Republicans (much like is going on in America this century) … This involved William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt as well as the Wilsonian onslaught that gave us the Federal Reserve, the income tax, the Seventeenth Amendment and an interventionist foreign policy with World War I … The sharp attack on our liberties was institutionalized by Franklin Delano Roosevelt in the 1930s.” I believe, as Ron Paul believes, that we need to start with 1913 as base and basically wipe the slate clean and return to the Constitution as written by our Founders. It is a tall order that would require a first-ever joining together of a mix of liberal and conservative interests who are all enlightened enough to have figured out the 100-year sham under which we have been operating. Is the name Leo Strauss familiar to you? It must be! Ron Paul writes, “Leo Strauss came to the United States in 1938 … and built a reputation at the University of Chicago, where he influenced a lot of future advisors and appointees of the George W. Bush administration. Some well-known names include Abram Shulsky, William Kristol, Irving Kristol, John Podhoretz, Michael Ledeen, Stephen Cambone, and Richard Perle.” Regarding the views of this group, Ron Paul concludes, "These views are based on absolute rejection of trust in a free society.” For more information, visit Richardcyoung.com .

What Nokia’s Lumia Phone Means for AT&T
Word is that AT&T (NYSE: T ) is going to be back in the business of hocking
high-end, exclusive smartphones again starting early next year. Kaufman Bros.
analyst Ben Abramovitz said in a Friday research note that Nokia (NYSE: NOK )
and Microsoft s (NASDAQ: MSFT ) debut collaboration the Lumia 800 smartphone
powered by the Windows Phone 7.5 operating system will arrive in the U.S. in
2012 using AT&Ts network as its window. A follow-up report in Forbes further
detailed Abramovitzs thoughts on the future of Windows phones, predicting, We
believe this poses a potential risk for Sprint (NYSE: S ) and its new long-term
commitment to Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ). The thinking, then, is that Windows
smartphones are going to be popular with businessmen. Windows phones will
staunch the flood of iPhones and Google (NASDAQ: GOOG ) Android devices into the
business market with pocket devices using an extension of popular enterprise PC
technology. In the telecom race, this means AT&T might have a lock on the first
fashionable Windows phone powerhouse in Nokias Lumia. Since Sprint has hitched
its ship to Apple, the logic says it will miss the opportunity present in
Microsofts new rise. Abramovitzs logic is sound. After a year of speculation and
doomsaying about the Finnish phone maker and Microsofts partnership, the Lumia
is off to a promising start. Nokia shares sank hard last week , dipping 6% on
Tuesday after Pacific Crest analyst James Faucette lowered Lumia sales estimates
for the quarter to 500,000 phones but Nokia countered, claiming Lumia was its
biggest release in the U.K. in recent history. While skeptics might scoff,
France Telecom (NYSE: FTE ) subsidiary Orange, a mobile provider for the U.K.
that also is an iPhone carrier, said it received more preorders for the Lumia
than for any other Nokia phone in its history. Great for Nokia and Microsoft
then, and great for international telecoms in the U.K., India and the other
territories in which Lumia will release this year, racking up a potential 2
million in sales ( according to Deutsche Bank ) before the year is out.
Realistically speaking, though, will Lumia really be a game-changer for AT&T?
AT&Ts exclusive support of the iPhone was crucial to the companys growth. When
AT&T Wireless and Cingular became a single mobile operator in 2007, it was the
leading provider in the U.S. by the end of 2008 with a base of 70 million
subscribers. The popularity of Apples iPhone, then a luxury item, helped the
company maintain that lead until 2009 when Verizon overtook the company . And it
was the iPhone that helped AT&T maintain its competitive edge against Verizon
until 2011 when Apples phone moved on to Verizon, Sprint and other carriers.
Right now, AT&T could use a boost for its mobile operations. Subscriber growth
missed expectations in the third quarter , with just 319,000 new subscribers
signing up where analysts were projecting an average of 406,000. The company
also is about to lose a significant amount of capital following its botched
acquisition of T-Mobile USA a bungle that might cost the company $4 billion .
Whether Lumia can be that boost is difficult to predict. Consumers are nothing
if not fickle, and they might be wooed by a new gadget provided the price is
right and the subscriber incentives are appealing enough. Rumor is that
Microsoft is projecting it will sell 100 million phones worldwide in 2012. If
AT&T controls the flagship Windows phone in the U.S. and Microsoft meets those
lofty sales expectations, it could mean that AT&T sees appreciable subscriber
growth. But the smartphone market is a lot more crowded than it was in 2007, and
an exclusive device now simply means its more difficult to distinguish yourself
in the crowd. The mobile market is a game of joining them namely Apple and
Samsung (PINK: SSNLF ) rather than beating them. The long and short of it for
investors: Lumia wont change AT&Ts role in your portfolio. The company itself is
a glacial mainstay, and AT&Ts steady 6.2% dividend yield might change or might
not next year but if it does, it likely will hinge on T-Mobile news, not
Microsoft and Nokias new toy. For Nokia though, Lumia represents the first step
in what will prove to be an arduous recovery. The significant dip in Nokia
shares after analysts premature downgrade of Lumia sales estimates shows just
how skittish Wall Street is about the company. Even with 2 million Lumia sales
expected by Jan. 1, Nokia is going to need more to win back investor confidence.

Before Buying Gold Stocks, Investors Should Remember the Big Picture
Click to Enlarge Is it finally time to buy gold stocks? It could be, if you
believe the various articles and blog posts that continue to clog the Internet.
It's true that gold stocks have trailed the metal's price by a huge margin
on a year-to-date basis, which could provide the foundation for a convergence
trade in time. For now, though, there are three key points to consider before
making a move: The Divergence Trade Isn't Limited to Gold While gold stocks
garner more headlines, the outperformance of commodities vs. related equities
has been true across all sectors in 2011. Consider the following: This shows
that although the underperformance of gold stocks has received a
disproportionate share of attention, it's actually part of a much larger
story. Gold-Stock Convergence Essentially Is a Risk-On/Risk-Off Trade The
performance of the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (NYSE: GDX ) relative to the
SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE: GLD ) has, like everything else, become a derivative on
the risk-on/risk-off Europe trade. In the difficult month of September, GDX
trailed GLD by 1.06 percentage points, -11.06% to -12.12%. GDX subsequently
outperformed by 73 basis points when the markets recovered in October (6.6%
versus 5.87%), and now it is underperforming again in November (-6.87% versus
-2.35%). The same story holds true for the other commodities in the table above.
The takeaway is that any recommendation of a gold-stock convergence trade is
incomplete unless it accounts for the impact of the news flow out of Europe.
Until European policymakers can deliver a longer-term fix for the debt crisis,
it appears unlikely that gold miners will be able to outperform the metal for
more than a few weeks at a time.

Judge Stands Up for the Little Guy by Standing Up to Citi
XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
tdp2664 InvestorPlace Citigroup (NYSE: C ) tried to pay off regulators with a $285 million settlement to squash accusations it duped investors into buying now-infamous subprime mortgage debt. But thanks to one Manhattan judge, that hush money won't be paid and Citi might now face a day in court. That, of course, is the hyperbolic description of what U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff did Monday with his decision to reject a settlement between the Securities and Exchange Commission and Citigroup. The losses to subprime mortgage investors who relied on Citi total about $700 million, more than double the proposed fine. Oh yeah, and Citigroup does about $110 billion in annual revenue — yes, billion, with a “B.” Kind of makes $285 million seem like a parking ticket, doesn't it? But that wasn't really what riled Judge Rakoff — at its core, this seemed to be a case where banks could just do whatever they want and pay a nominal fine to avoid any real penalties. Rakoff wasn't having that. Here's what he wrote in his ruling: "Purely private parties can settle a case without ever agreeing on the facts, for all that is required is that a plaintiff dismiss his complaint. But when a public agency asks a court to become its partner in enforcement by imposing wide-ranging injunctive remedies on a defendant, enforced by the formidable judicial power of contempt, the court, and the public, need some knowledge of what the underlying facts are: for otherwise, the court becomes a mere handmaiden to a settlement privately negotiated on the basis of unknown facts, while the public is deprived of ever knowing the truth in a matter of obvious public importance." In layman's terms, Rakoff rejected a fine that nobody other than the SEC and Citi thought was fair — and demanded that a public agency and the nation's third-largest lender not be allowed to quietly settle things out of court without the rest of America actually knowing what the wrongdoing was in full detail. This isn't a two-party dispute over alimony, after all. This is about the toxic debt instruments at the core of a financial crisis. Rakoff goes on to say in his ruling: "In any case like this that touches on the transparency of financial markets whose gyrations have so depressed our economy and debilitated our lives, there is an overriding public interest in knowing the truth." The case of Citigroup and its subprime mortgage practices is headed to trial on July 16, 2012, unless another more favorable settlement hits Rakoff's desk. The judge has publicly criticized the SEC’s practice of letting financial institutions such as Citigroup settle without admitting or denying liability, and without fully airing its dirty laundry for the inspection of investors and the borrowing public. It is an interesting coincidence that the fine comes out on the day that Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., announced today that he will not seek reelection in 2012. Frank, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee and author of the Wall Street reforms that were signed into law in 2010, is bowing out in part because his district was redrawn and he faces a tough fight at the ballot box. But it's worth noting that many of the reforms he proposed were either written out of the bill or face significant threats from other legislators — including the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection and the so-called "Volker Rule" meant to curb investment banking and risk-taking at financial stocks. For those wondering who now would advocate the interests of taxpayers and regular consumers on Wall Street, Judge Jed Rakoff has given them something to rally behind. But it's going to take a lot more than this to prevent companies like Citigroup from manhandling small-time investors for their own personal gain. Only time will tell whether Monday's move to block the SEC settlement will really matter. After all, no amount of fines after the fact can fix the economy. Deterring crooked behavior in the down the road is far more important — and hopefully Rakoff's refusal to rubber-stamp this SEC settlement will make banks think twice in the future.

You Shop, Financials and Retailers Pop — Monday’s IP Market Recap
XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
tdp2664 InvestorPlace A financially inspiring (if not morally depressing ) Black Friday gave way to a manic Monday of trading that saw the S&P 500 gain almost 3% and the Dow Jones climb more than 2.5% as both the financial and retail sectors clamored for more shopping bonanzas. International financial stocks soared not only on news of a record Black Friday , but also optimism about a euro zone debt solution. ING Group (NYSE: ING ) was up almost 12% to $7.02, with Deutsche Bank (NYSE: DB , +8.78%, $35.18), Barclays (NYSE: BCS , +8.42%, $10.43) and a host of others posting large gains. Also, the KBW Bank Index (BKX) of 24 large U.S. banks jumped almost 3%, with its biggest gainers including Citigroup (NYSE: C , +6.01%, $25.05), Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC , +2.72%, $24.14) and BB&T (NYSE: BBT , +3.12%, $21.83). Numerous retailers' stocks followed their stores' holiday weekend suits by heading higher during Monday trading, marked across the board by a 3.5% gain in the SPDR S&P Retail ETF (NYSE: XRT ). Perennial Black Friday star Macy's (NYSE: M ) and luxury retailer Saks (NYSE: SKS ) each gained almost 5%, to $30.84 and $8.91, respectively, and upscale Nordstrom (NYSE: JWN ) posted a strong 2.5% gain to $45.19. Larger retailers didn't fare as well, however, with Target (NYSE: TGT ) up just 0.82% to $51.63 and Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT ) up just 0.63% to $57.25. And a glaring red mark came from Sears (NASDAQ: SHLD ), which was down almost 1% to $57.83 — a rare Monday loss for the sector. Three Up ArcelorMittal (NYSE: MT ): Up 8.81% ($1.36) to $16.79.

4 Companies Increasing Dividends
The action in the equity markets has been fast and furious during the past
week, with stocks plunging in the days leading up to the Thanksgiving holiday.
However, better-than-anticipated retail sales on Black Friday, as well as
positive developments on the European bailout front, sent stocks soaring in
Monday trading. The souped-up action in stocks was countered by the light news
on the dividend front, as only a handful of companies announced they were
increasing dividends last week. Still, we did see a couple of high-profile names
giving thanks to shareholders, so let's take a look at the four companies that
made it onto our Companies Increasing Dividends list this week: Medical device
maker Becton, Dickinson and Co. (NYSE: BDX ) took the temperature of
shareholders and decided they needed an increased dose of dividends. The company
declared a quarterly dividend of 45 cents per share an increase of four cents
per share, or about 10% from the previous quarter. The new payout will be made
on Dec. 30 to shareholders of record as of Dec. 12. The new dividend yield,
based on the Nov. 22 closing price of $72.12 (the day the dividend was
announced), is 2.5%. The dividend marks the 40th consecutive year in which
Becton, Dickinson and Co. has increased its payout to shareholders.
Consumer-branded food and meat products maker Hormel Foods (NYSE: HRL ), which
counts Spam among its famous brands, canned up a tasty dividend to shareholders
by raising its payout to 15 cents per share from 12.75 cents. The new dividend
will be opened up on Feb. 15 to shareholders of record as of Jan. 23. The new
dividend yield, based on the Nov. 22 closing price of $28.82, is 2.08%. The
dividend increase was the 334th consecutive quarterly dividend paid by Hormel
Foods. The increased payout came along with fiscal fourth-quarter profit that
fell 3% as sales at its grocery products segment declined. Food flavoring and
spice maker McCormick & Company, Inc. (NYSE: MKC ) spiced up its quarterly
dividend by three cents per share to 31 cents. The enhanced payout will be
sprinkled on shareholders' plates on Jan. 13, provided investors take a seat
at the ownership table by Dec. 30. The new dividend yield, based on the Nov. 22
closing price of $47.31, is 2.62%. McCormick has increased its dividend 26 times
since 1925. In September, the company reported third-quarter earnings that beat
Wall Street estimates. Utility firm York Water (NASDAQ: YORW ), the oldest
investor-owned utility in the nation, continues to open the dividend spigot to
shareholders. York increased its quarterly payout by 2% to 13.36 cents per share
from 13.1 cents. The new dividend is payable Jan. 17 to shareholders of record
as of Dec. 31. The new dividend yield, based on the Nov. 22 closing price of
$16.80, is 3.15%. The pumped-up payout is the 564th consecutive dividend paid by
York Water, and it also marks the 15th consecutive year the company has
increased its dividend. As of this writing, Jim Woods did not hold a position in
any of the aforementioned stocks. For more payout winners, see previous weeks

You Shop, Financials and Retailers Pop — Monday’s IP Market Recap
A financially inspiring (if not morally depressing ) Black Friday gave way to a
manic Monday of trading that saw the S&P 500 gain almost 3% and the Dow Jones
climb more than 2.5% as both the financial and retail sectors clamored for more
shopping bonanzas. International financial stocks soared not only on news of a
record Black Friday , but also optimism about a euro zone debt solution. ING
Group (NYSE: ING ) was up almost 12% to $7.02, with Deutsche Bank (NYSE: DB ,
+8.78%, $35.18), Barclays (NYSE: BCS , +8.42%, $10.43) and a host of others

+6.01%, $25.05), Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC , +2.72%, $24.14) and BB&T (NYSE: BBT ,
+3.12%, $21.83). Numerous retailers' stocks followed their stores' holiday
weekend suits by heading higher during Monday trading, marked across the board
by a 3.5% gain in the SPDR S&P Retail ETF (NYSE: XRT ). Perennial Black Friday
star Macy's (NYSE: M ) and luxury retailer Saks (NYSE: SKS ) each gained
almost 5%, to $30.84 and $8.91, respectively, and upscale Nordstrom (NYSE: JWN )
posted a strong 2.5% gain to $45.19. Larger retailers didn't fare as well,
however, with Target (NYSE: TGT ) up just 0.82% to $51.63 and Wal-Mart (NYSE:
WMT ) up just 0.63% to $57.25. And a glaring red mark came from Sears (NASDAQ:
SHLD ), which was down almost 1% to $57.83 a rare Monday loss for the sector.

Todays Dow Jones Industrial Average Index DJX DJI, Nasdaq S&P 500 Stock Market Black Friday Cyber Monday News Mid-Day Today
XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
dow2664 Prior to opening bell this morning, stock futures were on the rise. The primary indices in the United States were positioned for the higher opening this morning due, in part, to the positive holiday sales weekend. Black Friday was a success as sales on that day were significantly higher than sales on the same day a year ago. This was a positive sign for the U.S. economy, and preliminary figures posting for Cyber Monday are very positive as well. The positive action pushed indices higher to open this trading week. Last week was a relative loser for primary global indicators and so the positive trends to open the gates this week finally gave investors something for which to be thankful. Primary indicators in Asia closed green today. The Nikkei in Japan finished higher by 1.56 percent. The Hang Seng in Hong Kong closed green by 1.97 percent and the Shanghai Composite finished higher by .12 percent. European markets were trending sharply higher today as well. The FTSE 100, DAX, and CAC 40 closed on the positive side of break-even. As the trading session reached the mid-day mark in the U.S., the primary indices were still trending in positive territory. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was higher by 2.7 percent at 11,543.45. The Nasdaq was green by 3.63 percent at 2,529.89 and the S&P 500 was green by 3.18 percent at 1,195.46. Frank Matto

Is Frontier Communications’ 14% Dividend Yield Safe?
XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
tdp2664 InvestorPlace I’ve always been a big fan of Frontier Communications (NYSE: FTR ). It’s a quiet little independent telecom company that handles regional services in just a few states like Northern California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Minnesota and New York. It’s the classic under-the-radar play that has done very well for investors over several years — the kind of play you have to find in a specialized screen and one that also must execute its business well. Things have gotten tough for the company, though. In its
Monday Apple Rumors: Black Friday Leaves Apple Stores Barren
XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
tdp2664 InvestorPlace Here are your Apple rumors and AAPL stock news items for Monday: Black Friday Proves Big for Apple: Black Friday left Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) stores with dwindling stock, according to Deutsche Bank analyst Chris Whitmore. In a Monday report at Apple Insider , Whitmore said 75% of Apple Stores had sold out of the iPhone 4S on Black Friday. Apple rushed to restock those stores but struggled to keep up with demand, as checks with the same stores on Saturday found that 30% still were sold out of the devices. Around 50% of AT&T (NYSE: T ) stores sold out of the iPhone 4S as well. Meanwhile, Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster reported that Apple also enjoyed big iPad sales. Data collected from Apple Stores suggests the average store sold 14.8 iPads per hour on Black Friday, putting the company on track to sell 13.5 million iPads total during the fourth quarter. iPhone 4S Leads Apple Charge into Android’s U.K. Territory: Research firm Kantar Worldpanel ComTech released new sales stats for the United Kingdom smartphone market on Monday. According to a Giga OM report detailing those findings, Apple’s iPhone tore into Google ‘s (NASDAQ: GOOG ) Android for total mobile market share by operating system in the month of October. Spurred by sales of the new iPhone 4S, Apple sold 42.8% of all smartphones sold in the U.K. during October. For the quarter leading into October, Apple took 27.8% of the U.K. market while Android phones accounted for 46% — down from just below 50% during the same period in 2010. Considering that Google’s market share comes from multiple phone makers like Samsung (PINK: SSNLF ), HTC and others, Apple’s gains are particularly impressive. Apple Offers Free Shipping on Online Orders Through December: Apple’s idea of spreading holiday cheer is getting as many people to buy its stuff as possible. To that end, the company is further greasing the commerce wheels by offering free shipping on all products sold through its online store. Free shipping is available through Dec. 22. Online retailers have increasingly used free shipping as a means to increase sales even outside of the holiday season.

Gold Shares Surge, AEM, GOLD Lag
XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
DG365FD46564GFH654FU898 Gold shares surged higher Monday morning alongside the price of gold and broader equity markets, as the AMEX Gold Bugs Index (HUI) jumped 3.4% to 546.10. COMEX gold futures reached an intra-day high of $1,724.90 per ounce earlier this morning and remained up by $26.60, or 1.6%, at $1,715.10 as of 11:53am ET. The S&P 500 Index advanced 3.1% to 1,194.87 as a better than expected report on Black Friday retail sales in the U.S. joined forces with renewed hopes for a more robust bailout package in Europe to send stocks and commodities higher across the board. Several of the world’s largest gold producers posted significant gains, with Goldcorp (GG) up 3.9% at $49.68 per share and Kinross Gold (KGC) climbing 3.5% to $13.19 per share. Two notable laggards, however, were Agnico-Eagle Mines (AEM) and Randgold Resources (GOLD). Agnico-Eagle initially rose as much as 2.9% to $42.71, but surrendered its entire gain later this morning and traded down by $0.09 at $41.43 per share. The catalyst for AEM’s poor performance was a downgrade from Canaccord Genuity, which lowered its rating on the Canadian-based gold miner from Buy to Hold and cut its price target to $53.00 from $98.00 per share.

Gold Shares Surge, AEM, GOLD Lag
Gold shares surged higher Monday morning alongside the price of gold and
broader equity markets, as the AMEX Gold Bugs Index (HUI) jumped 3.4% to 546.10.
COMEX gold futures reached an intra-day high of $1,724.90 per ounce earlier this
morning and remained up by $26.60, or 1.6%, at $1,715.10 as of 11:53am ET. The

Black Friday retail sales in the U.S. joined forces with renewed hopes for a
more robust bailout package in Europe to send stocks and commodities higher

significant gains, with Goldcorp (GG) up 3.9% at $49.68 per share and Kinross
Gold (KGC) climbing 3.5% to $13.19 per share. Two notable laggards, however,
were Agnico-Eagle Mines (AEM) and Randgold Resources (GOLD). Agnico-Eagle

this morning and traded down by $0.09 at $41.43 per share. The catalyst for AEMs
poor performance was a downgrade from Canaccord Genuity, which lowered its

Todays Dow Jones Industrial Average Index DJX DJI, Nasdaq S&P 500 Stock Market Black Friday Cyber Monday News Mid-Day Today
Prior to opening bell this morning, stock futures were on the rise. The primary
indices in the United States were positioned for the higher opening this morning
due, in part, to the positive holiday sales weekend. Black Friday was a success
as sales on that day were significantly higher than sales on the same day a year
ago. This was a positive sign for the U.S. economy, and preliminary figures
posting for Cyber Monday are very positive as well. The positive action pushed
indices higher to open this trading week. Last week was a relative loser for
primary global indicators and so the positive trends to open the gates this week
finally gave investors something for which to be thankful. Primary indicators in
Asia closed green today. The Nikkei in Japan finished higher by 1.56 percent.
The Hang Seng in Hong Kong closed green by 1.97 percent and the Shanghai
Composite finished higher by .12 percent. European markets were trending sharply
higher today as well. The FTSE 100, DAX, and CAC 40 closed on the positive side
of break-even. As the trading session reached the mid-day mark in the U.S., the
primary indices were still trending in positive territory. The Dow Jones
Industrial Average was higher by 2.7 percent at 11,543.45. The Nasdaq was green
by 3.63 percent at 2,529.89 and the S&P 500 was green by 3.18 percent at
1,195.46. Frank Matto

Best and Worst Stocks After the Black Friday Sales Surge
There were many folks, including myself , who expressed concern about whether
consumer spending will hold up this holiday season. But after very strong Black
Friday numbers, it might be time for investors to take a serious look at some of
the big retail stocks and electronics manufacturers that could benefit from a
strong finish to 2011. According to the National Retail Federation, shoppers
spent a record $52.4 billion across the long Thanksgiving holiday weekend up an
impressive 16.4% from 2010. Even more impressive was a stunning 39% increase in
online Thanksgiving spending a trend that hints Cyber Monday sales today could
blow the doors off, too. Of course, that doesn't mean everyone is doing well.
It's still a very difficult environment out there in the wake of the financial
crisis and amid persistently high unemployment, so investors should be wary.
Many folks doubt whether this trend is sustainable and think this is just a very
good start to the season that will lose momentum. So which companies are the
winners from this holiday spending trend, and which stocks are set to fall
behind? Let's take a look: Biggest Loser: Sears What Best Buy (NYSE: BBY ) and
others gained, other retailers naturally had to lose. But one merchant
perpetually getting squeezed out by the competition is Sears Holdings (NASDAQ:
SHLD ), which operates not just the namesake department stores but also 1,300
Kmart discount stores nationwide. Additionally, Sears produces Kenmore
appliances which, thanks to big competition from BBY and others, aren't
moving well during regular shopping hours, let alone during the holiday rush. To
top it off, serious cash flow problems have resulted in what can only be called
as neglect for many run-down Sears locations turning off shoppers in what
already is a bitter fight for every nickel consumers have to spend these days.
Even if shoppers continue to open their wallets like this for many months to
come, it's doubtful Sears will capitalize on the trend in the same way other
retailers will. Also Disappointing: Apple True, sales at branded Apple Inc.
(NASDAQ: AAPL ) retail locations are not the bread and butter of this gadget
maker. True, it's online sales were strong again this Black Friday weekend,
with Apple.com seeing double-digit growth over last year. But with the best
retail sales per square foot and Apple's website now ranking as the No. 3
online merchant in the U.S. , you would think there would be tremendous
potential for a Black Friday boom. Just think what the company could do with its
"insanely great" products, deep discounts and loyal customers!

Is It Time to Short Amazon?
Let me make one thing clear before we go any further: Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN ) is
here to stay. Nevertheless, one thing that has always troubled me is the
companys valuation. I remember the crazy days of the late 90s when Amazon was
rising 40 or 50 pre-split points a day, and I was shaking my head in disbelief.
Of course, AMZN shares eventually cratered like all the dot-com stocks did. The
only difference was that Amazon was, and continued to be, a viable business. It
wasnt until late 2007 that the stock revisited its old highs. However, Amazons
stock has blown through those highs and even went more than 2.5 times higher.
AMZN currently is 25% off its high of $246, but I still think its worth visiting
whether its time to short Amazon. Amazon remains a retailing juggernaut. This
years sales growth is on track to rise 42%, and analysts are looking at another
33% next year. Five-year annualized earnings estimates still are 22% even
though Amazon is more than 10 years old. It speaks to Amazons power as a
one-stop shop for, well, everything. The company grew earnings even during the
worst of the financial crisis. However, its Q3 earnings this year surprised
everyone by coming in below estimates. Profit fell 73%. That alone sounds like
reason to bail on the stock. Or is it? What was behind the profit tumble? It
wasnt revenues, which were up 44%. It was costs. There are two kinds of costs
one a company must make to keep its business afloat, such as hyperactive
advertising, and another where a company wisely invests in its future. I see the
latter with Amazon. The company said it spent $769 million (up 74%
year-over-year) on technology and content, which partially relates to the new
Kindle Fire product, and to its ramping up of its streaming content as it takes
on Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX ). Then there was the $1.6 billion of investment in
fixed assets, including internal use software and website development. Amazon
must make these investments because the Kindle Fire is going to burden the
companys servers and back-end technology. Remember, Amazon isnt your local
retail storefront. It certainly doesnt have to deal with all the overhead
associated with such a business, but Amazon has become so gigantic that if it
doesnt invest in technological infrastructure, it will stumble badly. Amazon
must keep up with technological advances even when they happen to come
internally! Nevertheless, valuation remains a concern. If we dismiss the profit
hit because of costs this year, and look at next years earnings projection of
$2.05 per share, we see Amazon is trading at 88 times those estimates. Even
granting Amazon a PEG ratio of 2 as it represents a premium company with some
$14 per share in cash and fantastic cash flow I have a hard time buying the
stock here at $182 per share. Amazon is a great company that I would like in my
portfolio, but its going to have to get a lot cheaper before I add it. Those
considering shorting Amazon certainly have reason to do so based on valuation
and technical analysis. I would use a stop loss, however. AMZN remains a
volatile play. As of this writing, Lawrence Meyers did not hold a position in
any of the aforementioned stocks.

The Bulls Are Finally Back! Watch List For Monday November 28, 2011
Pacific Ethanol ( NASDAQ:PEIX ) produces and markets low carbon renewable fuels
in the western United States, primarily in California, Nevada, Arizona, Oregon,
Colorado, Idaho, and Washington. PEIX has a market cap of $36 million.
Technically I like PEIX here as a retracement play between $1.26 and $1.60 short
term and would not be shocked if it traded as high at $1.90 $2 in a bull
market. Support is at $1.20 and $1.02. I traded PEIX successfully Wednesday into
Friday for 13% and will look for another entry soon. BioFuel Energy (
NASDAQ:BIOF ) engages in the manufacture and sale of ethanol and its co-products
in the United States. BIOF has a market cap of $86 million. Also a solid
retracement play I like BIOF from $.76 to $1.20 short term and would not be
shocked to see it between $1.24 and $1.50 in a bull market. Support is at $.72
and $.65. China TechFaith Wireless Communication Technology ( NASDAQ:CNTF )
operates as an original developed products provider that is focused on the
original design and sale of mobile phones in the Peoples Republic of China and
internationally. CNTF has a market cap of $77 million. Id already be in CNTF
last week if I didnt have 6 open swing trades already. With support at $1.71 the
upside here is $2.10 before resistance followed by $2.20 $2.60 in the short
term. Its currently trading on $4.46 cash per share so if and when it gains
traction I think CNTF could double if not triple from here. E-Commerce China
Dangdang ( NYSE:DANG ) operates as a business-to-consumer e-commerce company in
the Peoples Republic of China. DANG has a market cap of $366 million. I said I
liked DANG last week from these oversold levels and believe itll uptrend in a
bull market from here. Support is at $4.62 and $4.36 with upside around $5.70
short term. This space in general has been beaten up and could bounce on short
interest alone. Dry Ships ( NASDAQ:DRYS ) engages in the ownership and operation
of drybulk carriers and drilling rigs that operate worldwide. DRYS has a market
cap of $842 million. I like DRYS on this turn here at $2.15 with resistancde at
$2.60 before it could challenge $3 again in a bull market.

dow2664 Fear and uncertainty surrounding the eurozone debt crisis continues to plague markets. The primary stock indices were pressured lower last week globally and gold and silver rates followed. The dollar index moved up and the dollar strengthened versus a basket of other global currencies. The euro dropped lower to the U.S. dollar once again and this action applied negative pressure to gold and silver acquisitions. Ultimately, gold and silver have dropped lower over the course of the last several weeks. As of the last trading session, gold and silver contracts finished the day on opposite planes. Gold contract closed the day lower overall and silver contract finished the day in the green. Gold contract for December delivery finished the day red by negative 12.20 at 1685.70 per troy ounce. Silver contract for December delivery finished the last session green by positive .32 at 31.01 per troy ounce. After last session close and prior to today’s session open, spot gold and spot silver price trends continued to move in similar directions. Spot gold price per gram was lower by .18 at 54.02. Spot silver price per ounce was higher by .07 at 31.08. Precious metal gold is positioned to open this trading week lower once again. Camillo Zucari
