Todays DJIA Dow Jones Industrials DJI Index, Nasdaq, S&P 500 Index; CAC 40, FTSE 100, DAX; Comcast Stock Quote CMCSA Winner Last Session

U.S. Economic Market News Today: Primary index composites in the eurozone
closed out the last session mixed and the mixed action carried over to the U.S.
session. The CAC 40 finished the last session green by .44 percent. The DAX
closed green by .44 percent and the FTSE 100 finished the last session about
break-even. Indices there were supported by the better than expected data on
overall economic growth. The data revealed a drop of .3 percent in economic
growth which was better than what most were anticipating. The grey cloud in the
eurozone regardng debt resolution action planning continues to hover however.
Primary index composites in the U.S. posted mixed through the initial half of
the U.S. session as investors were uncertain about how to respond to the above
data. Adding to the investor uncertainty last session was the cancelled meeting
which was originally intended for eurozone leaders to hash out a plan to
solidify Greek bailout funding. Instead, the group of finance ministers
scheduled a conference-call and intend on releasing post-conference statements.
Home based economic data in the U.S. garnered little attention. The Empire State
Manufacturing index rose to 19.5 which was better than expected. Greece related
worries headlined the day. Ultimately the primary indices in the U.S. closed out
red. Dow Jones Industrial Average, Nasdaq, S&P 500 Stock Market Investing News
Close Review: The Dow Jones Industrials, as well as the Nasdaq and the S&P 500,
finished the last session on the negative side of break-even for the day. The
DJI index closed lower by .76 percent, negative by 97.33, at 12,780.95. The
Nasdaq finished lower by .55 percent, negative by 16, at 2,915.83. The S&P 500
finished red by .54 percent, negative by 7.27, at 1,343.23. General market
trends are unlikely to move much until progressive action is observed in the
eurozone with Greece. Announcements were made last week regarding the bailout
fund deal, but the fine tuning had not been completed. Investors will remained
fenced and sentiment will skew negatively until the bailout funds are
solidified. Stock Share Winners Last Session: Comcast CMCSA shares surged higher
during the days session. Comcast shares finished the day higher by 4.66 percent
and posted a last trade close at 28.52. Investors were pleasantly surprised to
observe the report that Comcast beat estimates for its fourth quarter profits
and earnings. Although the day session was positively skewed for Comcast shares,
after-hours trading was trending red for CMCSA. Frank Matto

Stocks Going Ex Dividend the Fourth Week of February 2012

XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF

dow2664 Here is our latest update on the stock trading technique called ‘Buying Dividends’. This is the process of buying stocks before the ex dividend date and selling the stock shortly after the ex date at about the same price, yet still being entitled to the dividend . This technique generally works only in bull markets. In flat or choppy markets, you have to be extremely careful, and may need to avoid the technique during those times. In order to be entitled to the dividend, you have to buy the stock before the ex-dividend date, and you can’t sell the stock until after the ex date. The actual dividend may not be paid for another few weeks. WallStreetNewsNetwork.com has compiled a downloadable and sortable list of the stocks going ex dividend during the next week or two. The list contains many dividend paying companies, all with market caps over $500 million, and yields over 2%. Here are a few examples showing the stock symbol, the market capitalization, the ex-dividend date and the yield. Healthcare Services Group, Inc. (HCSG) market cap: $1.2B ex div date: 2/22/2012 yield: 3.6% Park National Corporation (PRK) market cap: $1.1B ex div date: 2/22/2012 yield: 5.3% Main Street Capital Corporation (MAIN) market cap: $582.5M ex div date: 2/22/2012 yield: 7.4% AG Growth International Inc. (AGGZF) market cap: $507.3M ex div date: 2/24/2012 yield: 6.5% Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) market cap: $179.4B ex div date: 2/24/2012 yield: 3.5% The additional ex-dividend stocks can be found at wsnn.com. (If you have been to the website before, and the latest link doesn’t show up, you may have to empty your cache.) If you like dividend stocks, you should check out the high yield utility stocks and the Monthly Dividend Stocks at WallStreetNewsNetwork.com or WSNN.com. Dividend definitions: Declaration date: the day that the company declares that there is going to be an upcoming dividend. Ex-dividend date: the day on which if you buy the stock, you would not be entitled to that particular dividend; or the first day on which a shareholder can sell the shares and still be entitled to the dividend. Monthly Dividend Stock List Record date : the day when you must be on the company’s books as a shareholder to receive the dividend. The ex-dividend date is normally set for stocks two business days before the record date. Payment date: the day on which the dividend payment is actually made, which can be as long at two months after the ex date. Don’t forget to reconfirm the ex-dividend date with the company before implementing this technique. Disclosure: Author did not own any of the above at the time the article was written.

Fed Minutes Show FOMC Divided on QE3

XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF

tdp2664 The latest Fed minutes showed a growing divide among hawkish and dovish members over the prospects for a third round of quantitative easing (QE3). One of the key sections of the Fed minutes – a recap of the most recent Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting – indicated that: A few members observed that, in their judgment, current and prospective economic conditions–including elevated unemployment and inflation at or below the Committee’s objective–could warrant the initiation of additional securities purchases before long. Other members indicated that such policy action could become necessary if the economy lost momentum or if inflation seemed likely to remain below its mandate-consistent rate of 2 percent over the medium run. In contrast, one member judged that maintaining the current degree of policy accommodation beyond the near term would likely be inappropriate; that member anticipated that a preemptive tightening of monetary policy would be necessary before the end of 2014 to keep inflation close to 2 percent. Additional highlights from the minutes included: – With respect to the economic outlook, participants generally anticipated that economic growth over coming quarters would be modest and, consequently, expected that the unemployment rate would decline only gradually. – A number of factors were seen as likely to restrain the pace of economic expansion, including the slowdown in economic activity abroad, fiscal tightening in the United States, the weak housing market, further household deleveraging, high levels of uncertainty among households and businesses, and the possibility of increased volatility in financial markets until the fiscal and banking issues in the euro area are more fully addressed. – Participants continued to expect these headwinds to ease over time and so anticipated that the recovery would gradually gain strength. However, participants agreed that strains in global financial markets continued to pose significant downside risks to the economic outlook. – With unemployment expected to remain elevated, and with longer-term inflation expectations stable, almost all participants expected inflation to remain subdued in coming quarters–that is, to run at or below the 2 percent level that the Committee judges most consistent with its statutory mandate over the longer run.

Todays Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA Index, Nasdaq, S&P 500 Stock market Investing News Today

Todays Stock Market Overview DJIA, Nasdaq, and S&P 500 Trending News Today:
Futures for the primary indices in the U.S. posted red during the early morning
hours last session and trending remained negative during the initial half of the
last session. The DJIA index, as well as the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 , were
unable to rebound completely during the session and finished the day mixed.
Index trends were pressured lower initially due, in part, to the weaker than
expected report on retail sales. According to the report from the Commerce
Department, retail sales were up by .4 percent in January but economists were
expecting to observe a rise by approximately double that rate. In addition to
the negative spin stemming from the Retail Sales report, investors remain
nervous regarding the eurozone debt resolution process. More news is expected
regarding the Greek bailout action plan today. Stocks began a partial rebound
after reports posted relaying that Antonis Samaras will deliver a letter of
commitment to euro leaders today. Last session close review for the DJIA,
Nasdaq, and S&P 500 Indices: The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished the last
session higher by .03 percent at 12,878.28. The Nasdaq finished the last session
higher by .02 percent at 2,931.83. The S&P 500 closed the last session red by
.09 percent at 1,350.50. Prior to opening bell today, the primary indices in the
U.S. were posting green across the board. The DJIA futures were higher by .56
percent. The Nasdaq futures were posting green by .55 percent and the S&P 500

The SILVER PRICE dropped a bit more, 37c to 3332.6. Ratio rose to 51.485. In all this neither SILVER PRICE nor GOLD PRICE have violated the bottom boundaries which, if they cross, will drag them lower: 3300c for silver and $1,705 for gold. It’s a bull market. Remember that the longer anything drags on in a bull market, the more likely it is to resolve in the upward direction, because that is the market’s tide. The riddle remains, Why have silver and the GOLD PRICE not fallen further, followed through their repulse at $1,750? Is that strength speaking? Can they not be driven back further? First, look at currencies. US dollar index today gained a hefty 46.1 basis points (0.5%), stealing it all from the yen and euro. Euro dropped 0.47% to 1.3126 and Yen plunged a massive 1.09% to 127.51c/Y100 (Y78.43/US$1). Dollar stands at the 20 day moving average’s threshold (70.40) and tomorrow will open the door. Stocks dithered. Dow gained 4.24 to 12,878.28, S&P500 lost 1.27 to 1,350.50, clearly confusion and weakness rule, and most of the day stocks were underwater. Only in the last few minutes Some Friend appeared, eager to buy. Wonder who that was? I will be travelling tomorrow, Thursday, and Friday, February 15, 16, and 17. Monday 20 February is a holiday in the US, “The Monday Nearest Washington’s Birthday.” On Tuesday 21 February I must travel again, but will try to return in time to write a commentary.
