Stocks Still Can’t Find Footing
getting a little tired was found Monday, with equities retreating to their
lowest close in nearly two weeks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average wound up
gaining a point to finish at 12,381, but the Nasdaq slipped 9 points to 2772 and
the S&P 500 fell 4 points to 1324. As mentioned recently in this space, it was
becoming increasingly clear in the past few trading sessions that the main
drivers of a momentum-based rally small-caps, energy, and large-cap tech were
looking doubtful in their ability to provide any more energy for stocks upside.
And here we went again, with the Russell 2000 falling 0.8% on Monday and
putting up a decline of about 2.5% since Wednesdays close. Similarly, the Nasdaq
100 Index has found itself in a downtrend since the month started, and is in
fact down about 3.5% since hitting its 2011 closing high on Feb. 17. Oil prices
also gave back on Monday, settling under $110 a barrel for the first time since
last Thursday, and sapping the will of traders sifting through small- and
mid-cap energy stocks for one more momentum play. Of course, this meant good
news for airline stocks, which were among the top industry performers of the
day, reversing a 2011 downtrend for at least one day. Shares of Delta Air Lines
(NYSE: DAL ) rose 4.5%, while United Continental (NYSE: UAL ) gained 3.7%.
Perhaps another bright spot for stock optimists was the relative outperformance
by financial stocks, which hadnt joined wholeheartedly in the markets recent
advance. The SPDR Financial Select Sector (NYSE: XLF ) exchange-traded fund
finished precisely flat at $16.46, suggesting that at least in terms of
momentum-based sentiment, there is a bottom potentially in play. Much of that
could be altered by the next several weeks of first-quarter earnings reports,
which should put a little more substance behind what has been a fairly
low-volume rally and drift in stocks. The unofficial first entrant, Alcoa
(NASDAQ: AA ), didnt do much for bulls late Monday, offering a mixed bag
quarterly earnings report that saw the aluminum giant beat profit expectations
but fall short on the top line. More troubling for investors may be in potential
echoes to come from the earnings report late Monday from gaming equipment maker
WMS Industries (NYSE: WMS ), which lowered near-term quarterly forecasts and
said it didnt see much improvement to its industry outlook for this year and
2012. Its that sort of statement that market bulls hope is few and far between
over the next few weeks.

Top 10 Pharmaceutical Stocks with Highest Upside: MRNA, CYTR, BSPM, PIP, PRAN, CBP, AVNR, GNVC, EPCT, XOMA (Apr 11, 2011)
Stocks Still Can’t Find Footing
Any confirmation needed that a 6% rally in stocks that began a month ago was getting a little tired was found Monday, with equities retreating to their lowest close in nearly two weeks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average wound up gaining a point to finish at 12,381, but the Nasdaq slipped 9 points to 2772 and the S&P 500 fell 4 points to 1324.

Q&A: How to get a nod from 'Project Runway's' Heidi Klum or Tim Gunn? Casting director Alissa Haight Carlton tells us
What does it take to make it onto “Project Runway?” The lucky folks shown above with hosts Tim Gunn and Heidi Klum made it on last season, the eighth for the popular series.
April 15 marks the deadline for the show's casting call for Season 9. All The Rage sat down with the Lifetime show's casting director, Alissa Haight Carlton, to get the scoop on what it takes to recieve an eyelash bat from Klum or raised brow from Gunn — and compete with fellow designer hopefuls as America watches, of course.
All The Rage: What are some of the key things that you look for when casting for 'Project Runway?'
Haight Carlton: For this show we just really need talent, because we are looking for such a specific skill set. Especially because there's a lot of fashion designers who just don't sew.… We look for designers with a point of view that can sew like crazy.
Are you only looking for exceptional designers or is the show open to someone who has raw talent but needs to learn more?
Absolutely. If you look at Season 7, Anna Marie Lynett had a point of view and something to say with her clothing even though she had only been designing for something like six months.…We are also getting a lot of people right out of design school like Christian Siriano.
Generally, how many applicants are there?
Not as many as you would think, because there is such a specific skill set required unlike a show like “The Real World.” I would say there's below 1,000. Every year the applicant pool has gotten bigger.
While casting do you ever think, "this is going to be the villain" or "this is going to be the sweetheart"?
We don't go into it thinking we want to find X, Y and Z. What we do is really narrow down the talent. But it is a TV show and we don't want to cast 14 wallflowers and we want to make sure there's personality there.
Is there anyone from Season 8 who surprised you?
I guess I would say Mondo. He really became beloved by all of America that was in a way surprising. He has really become an active spokesperson for HIV, and we never expected that.
What are some mistakes people make when applying to the show?
A mistake some people make is sometimes they think they can put on a fake personality. Really, we just want them to be their selves.
Casting is always a puzzle. Oftentimes there's really great candidates who don't get on because there's someone too much like them, or they just aren't ready yet. Often they come back during casting for the next season. For example, Mondo was at the casting for Season 7 and ended up on Season 8.… A lot can happen in a year.
If your designs are destined for the catwalk and you're at least 21 years old, it's not too late to fill out an application here.

Fed Continues to Punish the Dollar, Blind to Inflation
At the last minute Friday night, the federal government dodged a bullet and avoided closing down. The market was flat last week, so it’s safe to say that the impending shutdown was not as scary to Wall Street as it was to those expecting their regular government services. Of course, nothing was solved for the long-term, and the U.S. dollar will continue to slide — based on Washington’s inability to control spending — while the U.S. economy has been humming along just fine, with or without federal government help. Dollar Sinks to the Bottom of the Currency Ladder The euro hit a 15-month high to the U.S. dollar last week after the European Central Bank (ECB) raised its key rate by 0.25% to 1.25%. The People’s Bank of China also raised its key rate last week, up 0.25% to 3.25%. Meanwhile the Fed continues to maintain its 0% interest rate policy and quantitative easing. The euro-zone is a mixed bag of good and bad news. On the positive side, Germany’s factory orders rose by 2.4% in February. That helped to strengthen the euro. On the other extreme, Portugal had to pay six-month interest rates of 5.11%, up from 2.98% just a month ago, so a bailout of Portugal (similar to the previous rescue plans in Greece and Ireland) may be necessary, pushing the euro-zone deeper into debt. So far this year, 18 developing economies have raised interest rates, but last week Australia, Britain and Japan decided to leave their interest rates alone. On Tuesday, Australia announced a surprising February trade deficit – due largely to Queensland’s devastating floods — so it is no surprise that Australia left its key rate unchanged at 4.75%. But the Bank of England surprised observers by leaving its key interest rate unchanged at 0.5%, despite the fact that inflation is now running at 4.4%, more than double it 2% target. Also, Japan’s central bank left its key rate at 0% in the wake of its devastating earthquake and tsunami. The global power shift now favors currencies with higher interest rates and rich deposits of high-priced natural resources, such as Australia and Brazil. Last week, the dollar lost 2.7% to the Brazilian real and 1.4% to the Australian dollar. Since last May, the U.S. dollar has fallen 23% to the Australian dollar and 16% to the Brazilian real, but last Wednesday, Brazil’s Finance Minister Guido Mantega proposed a series of currency controls, including an extension of a 6% tax to keep U.S. dollars out of Brazil, to slow the real’s appreciation. Mantega seemed outraged that rich countries like the United States are fighting a currency “war” to keep the dollar weak, causing a rush of capital into currencies throughout the developing world. From our perspective, a weak U.S. dollar is clearly stimulating U.S. economic growth and boosting corporate profits, especially in multi-national companies. That is the good news. The bad news is that most of the world’s commodities are priced in U.S. dollars, so commodity prices continue to rise as the U.S. dollar falls. However, the stock market is shrugging off this threat, since a weak U.S. dollar also boosts earnings of many companies with overseas operations, making stocks a great inflation hedge!

Prior to open session trading this morning, spot gold prices were trending in a negative direction. Spot gold per gram and spot gold per kilo were both trending in the red. This was the first negative trending observed for the precious metal in days. A less stable stock market, fueled last week by the looming threat of a government shutdown, helped to keep the safe haven appeal of gold high. The government shutdown has been temporarily averted and stocks got off to a more optimistic start this day. The more optimistic view of the approaching primary earning season helped to push stock futures green this morning and as of the mid day mark, the Dow Jones Industrials were posting positive by over .30 percent. The dollar was on the rise versus the euro and gold futures were dropping. Gold for June contract delivery was lower by .35 percent at 1469 at this point. By end of day close, the major market indicators finished mixed with the Dow Jones just over breakeven for the day. The Nasdaq and the S&P 500 both finished red. The precious metal tracking board was covered in mostly red today as gold and silver prices fell lower. June Gold finished the session lower by .41 percent at 1468.10 an ounce. Silver for May delivery ended just green by .01 percent at 40.61 a troy ounce. May copper finished red by .92 percent at 4.46 per pound. Author: Camilo Zucari

Your Morning Fashion and Beauty Report: Dolce & Gabbana appreciate Justin Bieber's style. Christian Louboutin doen't appreciate YSL's red soles.
Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce were gushing over 17-year-old singing sensation Justin Bieber's sense of style at the party they threw for him at their restaurant, Gold, after his concert in Milan on Saturday night. ”It might be slightly premature to talk about a style icon, but it's impossible to deny that he's a model for his peers,” Dolce said. Of course, it doesn't hurt that Bieber often wears Dolce & Gabbana (at this year's Academy Awards and Golden Globes, for instance). [Telegraph]
Christian Louboutin filed a trademark infringement lawsuit in Manhattan federal court last week against Yves Saint Laurent America Inc., accusing YSL of stepping on its toes, so to speak, by selling shoes with red soles — the hallmark of a pricey Louboutin heel. The suit seeks to stop the sales and more than $1 million in damages. [Telegraph]

There are certain beauty decisions you should always think through carefully instead of plunging right in. Tattoos and piercings, of course. But also hair color, brow shape and perfume, among others. [BellaSugar]
Oscar de la Renta has rethought his original namesake fragrance, rejuvenating it for the modern woman. Esprit d'Oscar is a blend of Sicilian lemon, bergamot, citron, Egyptian jasmine, orange flower, tuberose, musk, heliotrope, tonka bean and vetiver. But it is less “powdery” — powder evoking the scent of a grandma! [StyleList]

Fix Your Eyes on Optical Fiber Stocks
fiber into their portfolios particularly shares of firms that sell optical
fiber networking equipment. Optical components may sound about as tasty as a
bowl of dry bran flakes, but the potential upside is pretty sweet. Consider the
fact that three companies in the sector – Ciena (Nasdaq: CIEN ), JDS Uniphase
(Nasdaq: JDSU ) and Finisar (Nasdaq: FNSR ) have risen an average of 120% since
their 52-week lows last fall. Three others, Oclaro (Nasdaq: OCLR ), Oplink
(Nasdaq: OPLK ) and Infinera (Nasdaq: INFN ) are up an average of 49% over last
year's lows. Seeing gold in these names may seem to be a bold boast –
particularly since these are the same companies whose share prices were kicked
in the teeth a month ago over trouble selling out their product inventories.
That forced Oclaro, Finisar and others to revise their quarterly revenue
estimates downward. Pair that news with the fact optical networking gear sales
went nuts last year, and it makes sense why some investors may think these
stocks' run is done. But that move was, pardon the pun, short-sighted.
Carriers need to buy more and more advanced fiber optic gear in order to
support aggressive data transmission requirements and the proliferation of 3G
wireless networks. So even though their customers are sitting on a fair amount
of unused product now, these purchase delays are less about excess inventory and
more about customers waiting a tad longer to outfit their networks with the
hottest technology available. Here are a few factors that signal strong growth
potential for optical component firms: Despite uncertainty in the short
term, the sector is well-positioned for strong growth between 2011 and 2015, a
new forecast from the research firm LightCounting says. Since so-called
"passive" optical component sales grew at a higher rate than other
components last year, a new cycle of carrier network upgrades may be starting
now. The industry is bouncing back from the recession of 2008-09. Carrier demand
for optical fiber components will be driven by the need to link together
networks of networks – efficiently and cost-effectively. Carriers must have
these components in order to keep pace with the surge in data traffic over both
traditional and wireless networks. As broadband networks continue to grow bigger
and faster, carriers will have to upgrade their existing optical fiber
components. Never underestimate the need for speed: sales of 40Gbps
(gigabit/second) components and modules have started this year strong; 100Gbps
optics likely will rise sharply by late 2011. Bottom Line: In today's
data-hungry culture, all the world's a network and all the carriers are
chasing bandwidth. Since optical fiber equipment makes massive amounts of data
traffic move quickly through both traditional and wireless networks, it's easy
to see why analysts see the market nearly doubling to $22.1 billion in 2014. As
of this writing, Susan J. Aluise did not hold a position in any of the stocks
mentioned here.
