After Hours Report for April 12

April 12, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Wall StreetUS stocks extended their gains into a second session as traders eyed the Fed for possible further stimulus. Loan data out of China also gave rise to the hopes of just a soft-landing for the country versus a hard. This will help the US economy deal with any recession that emerges out of Europe. Earnings season is also helping thanks to a significantly lowered bar. If you go in expecting nothing to beat, any beats are pleasant surprises.

European concerns also moderated after yields dropped across the region. Still a concern, but investors kind of shrugged off Europe in favor of earnings season and Fed hints of further stimulus. Or at the very least their accommodative monetary policies will be in place for quite a while yet.

All the major indices closed higher on the day. The Dow jumped 181, the Nasdaq 39 and the S%P 19. [Read more...]

Gold Prices Up Slightly On Data. Gold Stocks to Watch

April 12, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Gold pricesAfter easing the past two days due to the Alcoa generated rally, gold prices are snapping back on a lackluster jobs report. While the labor market is still showing growth, the anemic pace will eventually be thrust to the forefront of concerns that investors have to address. The Italian bond auction also gave gold bulls some respite as 3-year borrowing costs increased.

On the equity markets you get the sense that the European and US markets have decoupled. The EU still lacks a sustainable solution for their debt issues. Noted gold bulls like Max Keiser insists that the US is living on borrowed time. If true, then when does that time run out. If we have a stellar earnings season, the prospects for QE3 become dim unless the jobs picture deteriorate. A lot of ifs out there for gold investors and that’s why you are not seeing a massive move in either direction.

The gold spot price is currently up $15 to 1,674.90 per ounce. [Read more...]

Insiders Trading Report for April 4

April 5, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Traders at the NYSEThe ADP report couldn’t save stocks yesterday. European concerns that were shrugged off last week came back with a vengeance. The anemic Spanish bond auction sent the broader market reeling. The ISM services miss also did not help the cause of the bulls and sent the bears stampeding through the major indices.

While growth concerns are creeping back into the market, the focus will be on the jobs report. If labor strength continues, the US markets could end up decoupling from European markets and continue higher.

The Dow closed down 125 points yesterday. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 both closed down 45 and 14 respectively. [Read more...]

Hot Stocks to Watch: HEAT, MAGS, GMXR, DANG, PPO, AVP

April 4, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Wall StreetThe street is taking hits from all sides today. The FOMC minutes yesterday. The Spanish auction today. All the ingredients for a sharp sell off and that’s what we are are seeing intraday. Just when you thought Europe was being saved you get the news; nope, still an ongoing concern. At least today we don’t have to hear about Greece. It is all about Spain and their budgetary concerns coupled with a weak bond auction.

Decliners are leading the advancers by a 6-1 margin. Current market action is decidedly to the downside. The Dow is giving up 163 points, the Nasdaq 52 and the S&P 500 17.

Not every stock is mired in the red today. There are some advancers. [Read more...]
