Hot Option Plays: Earnings Keep Chugging Along

Posted: 19 Jul 2012 05:43 PM PDT

Cusick’s Corner 07-19-2012
There is no economic data coming out tomorrow but in the morning there’s AM settlement for July European index options which includes indices like the SPX and NDX, plus there’s end of day settlement for July equity options tomorrow. It feels like the market might look to mark up early the S&Ps and then it appears hard to say what could happen. I still think that 1375 breach on the S&Ps could be meaningful, potentially for the upside, but today was just not … [visit site to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards and Best Credit Cards

Hot Option Plays: S&Ps At Resistance

Cusick’s Corner 07-19-2012
In my quest to catch up because I have been out on the road for two days, I am getting the Midday commentary out late, again [[sorry]]. The analyst and trading community had very low expectations going into this earnings cycle and when there are beats like we have been seeing, the upside appears to be the risk side which is what I previously mentioned last week. We reached these levels earlier in the month, 1375 on July 5th, so it will be interesting to see if we have … [visit site to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards and Best Credit Cards

Wrong Reasons

Posted: 19 Jul 2012 02:22 PM PDT

It was only 10 days ago when the so-called experts were heralding a big jump in consumer borrowing as a positive sign for the economy.
“May Consumer Credit Expands Most in Five Months” (Reuters)
Consumer credit expanded in May by the most in five months as Americans used their credit cards more readily, offering hope household spending will help the sputtering economy.
The Fed also said credit rose more during April than originally thought.
The data follows a report on Friday that showed … [visit site to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards and Best Credit Cards

Thomas Sowell On The Pious Talk About Giving Back

Posted: 19 Jul 2012 02:15 PM PDT

“All the high-flown talk about how people who are successful in business should “give back” to the community that created the things that facilitated their success is, again, something that sounds plausible to people who do not stop and think through what is being said. After years of dumbed-down education, that apparently includes a lot of people.

Take Obama’s example of the business that benefits from being able to ship their products on roads that the government built. How does that create … [visit site to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards and Best Credit Cards

More Failed Renewable Energy Companies

Posted: 19 Jul 2012 12:27 PM PDT

Two more renewable energy companies have failed (or are about to fail), despite hundreds of millions of dollars of government taxpayer-financed loan guarantees, tax credits, and grants. Both failures are taking place in the state of Nevada, and both companies were strongly supported by Nevada Sen. Harry Reid as major job creators. Reid promoted renewable energy in his state by comparing Nevada’s sunshine and geothermal resources to the value of Saudi Arabian oil.

Energy Fact Of The Day: No Dry Holes In The Bakken

Posted: 19 Jul 2012 12:03 PM PDT

Associated Press — “Despite widespread hope that North Dakota’s oil rush will spread across the border, some say it’s doubtful South Dakota will experience much of it. South Dakota state geologist Derric Iles says drillers are virtually assured of a profitable well in North Dakota. He says they have little time to bother with unknown prospects across the border.

Iles believes South Dakota is underexplored and may hold untapped reserves that could be exploited using know-how gained from North … [visit site to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards and Best Credit Cards

Interview with The Energy Report

Pundits may have closed the book on the so-called nuclear renaissance, but the story is far from over. In this exclusive interview with The Energy Report, Gold Stock Trades Editor Jeb Handwerger names the "sleeping beauties" quietly proving their worth. A new generation of nuclear energy must be part of a diversified happy ending, Handwerger says, but by that time, merger and acquisition activity may have already rewarded the investors who … [visit site to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards and Best Credit Cards

Gasoline Demand Surprising

Posted: 19 Jul 2012 11:37 AM PDT

Thursday, July 19th
Crude Oil futures have moved higher at a brisk pace and are possibly heading toward substantial resistance at 95.00 and 100.00. Fundamentally, supplies have tightened and many traders may have previously underestimated consumer demand. The Iranian embargo, which initially caused the tension that sparked the rally, is still a very touchy subject. All other factors being equal, the Iranian conflict may be enough to sway the market in favor of the bulls.

Portugal’s Successful Drug Decriminalization

Posted: 19 Jul 2012 11:34 AM PDT

Business Insider — “On July 1st, 2001, Portugal decriminalized every imaginable drug, from marijuana, to cocaine, to heroin. Some thought Lisbon would become a drug tourist haven, others predicted usage rates among youths to surge. Eleven years later, it turns out they were both wrong.

Over a decade has passed since Portugal changed its philosophy from labeling drug users as criminals to labeling them as people affected by a disease. This time lapse has allowed statistics to develop and in … [visit site to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards and Best Credit Cards

New Gold (NGD): Delivering On Promises At El Morro, New Afton And Blackwater

Posted: 19 Jul 2012 11:30 AM PDT

The gold mining stocks have recently underperformed the overall equity market since the ending of QE2 in 2011 and the introduction of Operation Twist. Since the 2008 credit crisis, one company New Gold has delivered on its stated promises and has rewarded original GST subscribers of more than a 1,000% gain since highlighting it in May of 2009 outperforming the gold mining index and gold bullion by a wide margin.
