Stephen Bernard, AP Business Writer Stocks rise on surprise jump in consumer strength

Stocks rally to end weak August after unexpected climb in consumer confidence

NEW YORK (AP) — A surprise jump in consumer confidence gave stocks a modest lift, but gains were kept in check as investors remain cautious about the strength of the economy.

A report showed confidence climbed more than expected in August. That gave traders a reprieve from a string of reports throughout the month that indicated economic growth continues to slow. A report earlier Tuesday indicated manufacturing activity slowed in the Midwest in August.

“Market pessimism in the very near-term has hit a nadir,” said John Brady, a senior vice president at MF Global. The small rise in confidence took the edge off the downbeat mood, Brady said. However, he cautioned any gains might be short lived because traders are hesitant to make any big moves before Friday’s key monthly employment report. The unemployment rate likely inched higher in August as employers avoid major hiring.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose nearly 30 points in late morning trading after being down as much as 68 earlier in the day. Broader indexes also rose, reversing earlier declines.

Stocks are Lower as Investors Await Job Report

30 August 2010 - 5:08pm

Submitted by SmallCapVoice.com  

Stocks edged lower Monday as investors took a cautious approach to trading before the government’s latest report on the jobs market.

Investors have been homing in on employment data as a key way of predicting where the economy is going. Signs of a slowdown in growth has plagued the market for more than a month. Investors are unsure if companies will be able to keep up strong earnings growth if the recovery runs out of steam or falls back into recession. And consumers aren’t likely to spend more until there are clear and regular signs of hiring.

Traders largely shrugged of a new report showing that personal spending inched higher last month.

In morning trading, the Dow fell 21.57, or 0.2 percent, to 10,129.08. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 2.08, or 0.2 percent, to 1,062.51, while the Nasdaq composite index fell 3.52, or 0.2 percent, to 2,150.11.

8-11-10 Daily Small Cap Market News and Stock Highlights from SmallCapVoice.com

11 August 2010 - 4:37pm

Submitted by SmallCapVoice.com  

By Angela Moon - Reuters Wall Street down sharply on economic uncertainty

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Stocks fell sharply on Wednesday after weaker manufacturing data from China and a gloomier growth outlook from the Federal Reserve heightened fears of a lackluster global economic recovery.

All S&P sector indexes were lower, with commodities and energy leading the way down as data in China pointed to lower consumption of raw materials and the International Energy Agency warned of risks to fuel demand if the global economy weakens.

Investors fled from riskier assets to safe-haven investments like the dollar and lower-risk government debt. U.S. 2-year Treasury note yields hit a record low.

Defensive stocks such as utilities and telecom held up better, with losses on the S&P utilities index limited to 1.5 percent. That move and a strong demand in bonds, are forecasting a “major slowdown in the economy,” said Ryan Detrick, senior technical strategist at Schaffer’s Investment Research.

Stocks Inch Higher as Investors Look to Fed

9 August 2010 - 3:55pm

Submitted by SmallCapVoice.com  

Stephen Bernard, AP Business Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks rose slightly Monday as investors avoided big bets before the Federal Reserve’s meeting this week.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 23 points in late morning trading. Broader indexes also had small gains.

Investors are waiting for the Fed’s latest assessment of the economy that will be issued at the close of the central bank’s meeting on Tuesday. They also want to know if the Fed will restart some of its stimulus programs to help the recovery regain momentum.

The market’s growing concern about the economy has added to the importance of the Fed meeting. Recent economic reports have shown that the recovery is slowing. And Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke just a few weeks ago said the forecast for the recovery remains “unusually uncertain.”

The Fed will likely leave its federal funds rate near zero, but the central bank could signal plans to restart some stimulus programs, such as its purchase of mortgage-backed securities. Those programs ended earlier this year when it appeared the recovery was proceeding well.

Stocks Move Higher Amid Better-than-Expected Jobless Claims Report

8 July 2010 - 3:17pm

Submitted by SmallCapVoice.com  

Stocks extended a rally into a third day as investors welcome a report that first-time jobless claims fell more than expected last week.

Mixed reports Thursday from retailers on June sales results have helped boost some individual stocks, but did not widely affect the market.

The Labor Department said initial jobless claims fell to their lowest levels since early May. Initial claims fell to a seasonally adjusted 454,000 last week, better than the 465,000 economists polled by Thomson Reuters had forecast.

The drop in claims, at least temporarily, reverses a trend of disappointing jobs reports that had sent stocks lower in recent weeks. Before a stock surge over the past two days, investors had regularly sold off stocks in recent weeks because of economic reports that showed the economy is growing, but not as fast as had been predicted.

Continued high unemployment has dragged down consumer confidence, which in turn has slowed spending. Consumer spending accounts for the bulk of economic activity. Without a rebound in jobs and sales, the economy is likely to continue to post only modest growth.

Reports from retailers indicated June sales were mixed. Limited Brands Inc., which owns Victoria’s Secret and Bath & Body Works, reported sales that topped expectations. Many teen retailers saw a drop in sales last month, including Hot Topic Inc. and The Wet Seal Inc.

In early morning trading, the Dow Jones industrial average rose 77.72, or 0.8 percent, to 10,096.00. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 7.91, or 0.8 percent, to 1,068.18, while the Nasdaq composite index rose 17.25, or 0.8 percent, to 2,176.72.

Stocks Rally Despite a Slowdown in the Service Sector

6 July 2010 - 12:24pm

Submitted by SmallCapVoice.com  

U.S. stocks rose on Tuesday, led by financial and technology shares, even though data showed U.S. non-manufacturing activity grew at a slower rate than expected in June.

An industry trade group says the service sector grew more slowly in June, yet another sign growth could weaken in the second half of 2010.

The Institute for Supply Management, a trade group of purchasing executives, says its index tracking service-oriented companies dipped to 53.8 last month from 55.4 in May.

A reading above 50 indicates expansion. Economists polled by Thomson Reuters expected a reading of 55.0 for June.

A robust service sector, which accounts for about 80 percent of U.S. employment, is crucial to keeping the economy growing and adding jobs.

ISM also says employers’ plans to hire declined in June after growing in May for the first time in 28 months.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 147.36 points, or 1.52 percent, to 9,833.84. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index jumped 16.86 points, or 1.65 percent, to 1,039.44. The Nasdaq Composite Index climbed 38.40 points, or 1.84 percent, to 2,130.19.

Stocks are Flat After Weak Jobs Report

30 June 2010 - 3:19pm

The stock market is trading in a narrow range after another disappointing report on the jobs market. A report on manufacturing in the Midwest barely topped expectations but also gave stocks some support.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 4 points, a day after falling 268. The other major indexes were also slightly higher.

Payroll company ADP said private employers added just 13,000 jobs in June. That’s well short of the 60,000 economists polled by Thomson Reuters forecast.

The weaker-than-expected jobs report is the latest in a long string of disappointing economic data that has contributed to the market’s turbulent second-quarter performance. Heading into the final day of June, the Dow is down 9.1 percent for the three-month period. Broader indexes are down 11 percent.

The ADP report is often seen as a precursor to the Labor Department’s big monthly jobs report due out Friday. ADP’s data only includes jobs created by private companies so it can vary widely from the Labor Department data, which also includes government jobs.

Friday’s government report is expected to show employers cut a total of 110,000 jobs in June. However, economists predict the net loss of jobs is tied primarily to the government laying off temporary workers that were hired to work on the 2010 census.

Stocks are Lower on FedEx Warning and Weak Housing Data

16 June 2010 - 4:02pm

Submitted by SmallCapVoice.com 

Stocks slipped at the open on Wednesday as FedEx warned about higher costs, housing starts fell to a five-month low and new concerns surfaced over Spain’s fiscal problems.

FedEx on Wednesday offered a conservative outlook for its new fiscal year even as strong exports from Asia led to healthy fourth-quarter results.

The forecast for earnings of $4.40 to $5 per share, falls short of analysts’ predictions of $5.05 per share. But it’s the first time the company has issued a full-year forecast since before the recession, indicating growing confidence in the long-term recovery in global trade.

Housing starts fell more than expected in May to a five-month low as a homebuyer tax credit expired while plunging energy costs pushed producer prices lower, buying time for the Federal Reserve to maintain its ultra-low interest rate policy.

New home building dropped 10 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 593,000 units, the lowest level since December, the Commerce Department said on Wednesday.

The percentage decline was the biggest in 14 months and April’s housing starts were revised down to show a 3.9 percent increase from a previously reported 5.8 percent rise.

Analysts polled by Reuters had expected housing starts to fall to 650,000 units. Compared to May last year, starts were up 7.8 percent.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 63.63 points, or 0.61 percent, to 10,341.14. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index lost 7.14 points, or 0.64 percent, to 1,108.09. The Nasdaq Composite Index was off 13.88 points, or 0.60 percent, to 2,292.00.

Yesterday’s Top Performing Small Cap Stock:

Tie Technologies, Inc. (Pink Sheets: TTCS)

TIE Technologies, Inc. was a SmallCapVoice.com top performer yesterday closing up over 44% on trading volume of 3,600 shares.

TIE Technologies, Inc. and Geocomp Corporation announced that the OilDam(TM) technology and the Trademark Application, patent rights and associated assets are owned in equal parts by TIE Technologies and Geocomp, the team leaders of the OilDam(TM) Emergency Containment Proposal.

An application to register the OilDam(TM) mark has been filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, thus it is considered a “pending” application. The overall process, from the time of initial filing to final registration, can take 13-18 months or even longer, depending on many factors; e.g., the Examiner’s preliminary refusal based on technical clarifications, the descriptiveness of the mark and/or a likelihood of confusion with existing third party marks.

TIE Technologies’ revised OilDam(TM) proposal developed in conjunction with Geocomp Corporation has been escalated to final technical engineering review by BP’s Horizon Alternative Response Technology Team and is scheduled for field testing by the BP and U.S. Coast Guard Field Technical Operations Group.

Stocks are Higher Amid Strong European Economic Data

14 June 2010 - 5:28pm

Stocks rose on Monday, boosted by technology and industrial shares after strong euro zone industrial data reassured investors the global economic rebound is on track.

European shares hit a four-week high after April euro zone industrial output surged at the biggest pace year-on-year in almost two decades, easing concerns that a slowdown in Europe could curb global growth.

A burst of short-covering also helped lift the euro as sentiment toward risky assets improved. The common currency has been a barometer for European stability, with U.S. stocks tracking its movements.

Oil futures climbed 2.3 percent to $75.51 per barrel on renewed optimism about a recovery.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 74.37 points, or 0.73 percent, to 10,285.44. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index added 8.22 points, or 0.75 percent, to 1,099.82. The Nasdaq Composite Index gained 22.91 points, or 1.02 percent, to 2,266.51.

Stocks are Slightly Higher on Signs of Economic Growth

9 June 2010 - 3:17pm

Hopeful signs that debt in Europe won’t derail a global economic recovery sent stocks higher Wednesday.

Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke is scheduled to testify in front of the House Budget Committee. He is expected to reiterate his belief that the U.S. economy will not fall back into recession, but growth will remain slow. Similar comments from the Fed chairman helped push stocks higher Tuesday.

The Fed releases its beige book report Wednesday afternoon. The report is a snapshot of regional economic activity. A more positive tone by the Fed, which has been guarded in its assessment of the economy thus far, could provide the impetus to push stocks higher.

A report on wholesale inventories and sales is likely to confirm continued domestic growth. The report is expected to show inventories at the wholesale level rose for the fourth straight month, while sales likely climbed for the 13th straight month in April.

Economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters expect that inventories at the wholesale level rose 0.5 percent in April, while sales rose 0.6 percent. That compares with inventory growth of 0.4 percent and a jump in sales of 2.4 percent in March.

The slowdown in sales would be consistent with recent data that shows the economy is improving, but growth is slow and sometimes choppy.

Despite expected signs of growth in the U.S., concerns about the health of Europe’s economy has traders anxious. Governments across Europe are planning deep spending cuts to contain rising debt, which some investors worry will bring even a modest global economic recovery to a halt.

Stocks are also getting a boost after the euro climbed back above $1.20, after trading slightly lower earlier in the morning. Major European indexes erased early morning losses.

In early morning trading, the Dow Jones industrial average rose 39.00, or 0.4 percent, to 9,978.98. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 5.33, or 0.5 percent, to 1,067.33, while the Nasdaq composite index rose 13.54, or 0.6 percent, to 2,184.11.

Stocks Rise After Pending Home Sales Top Forecasts

2 June 2010 - 1:18pm

Stocks extend climb after April homes sales increase 6 percent on race to meet tax credit

Stocks rebounded Wednesday after a stronger-than-expected increase in pending home sales restored investors’ optimism about the economy.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose about 80 points in late morning trading. The major indexes made back some of the big losses they suffered Tuesday shortly when the government announced criminal and civil investigations into the Gulf oil spill.

The upbeat report on home sales provided some hope on the nation’s housing market. An increase in signed contracts for homes was due partly to a rush to meet a tax credit that expired in April. The National Association of Realtors said its index of contracts on existing homes rose 6 percent in April, and ahead of the estimates of economists polled by Thomson Reuters.

“Anything that indicates more of a stabilization — and not rapid declines — in housing is probably a good thing,” said Jason D. Pride, director of investment strategy at Glenmede in Philadelphia.

Stocks Surged in Early Trading Thursday after China Reassured Investors it Doesn’t Plan to Sell any of the European Debt it Holds

27 May 2010 - 3:35pm

Submitted by SmallCapVoice.com 

The Dow Jones industrial average rose about 150 points in morning trading, while Treasury prices tumbled as traders pumped money into stocks.

China’s confidence in Europe overshadowed disappointing reports about the U.S. economy. The Labor Department said initial claims for unemployment benefits fell last week, but not by as much as economists had forecast. A report on gross domestic product indicated that the U.S. economy did not grow as fast in the first quarter as previously thought.

Thursday’s gains came after the agency that manages China’s $2.5 trillion in foreign reserves denied a Financial Times report that China was considering cutting its exposure to European debt. Major indexes around the world also rose.

Investing Ideas in Gold as a Safe Haven

27 May 2010 - 7:04am

Submitted by SmallCapVoice.com

Gold prices were rising Wednesday as jittery investors continued to buy gold as a safe haven asset to battle global economic uncertainty.

Gold delivery for June was rising $12.50 to $1,210.50 an ounce at the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Although markets seem calm, analysts expect investors to continue to hedge their riskier investments with the safety of gold over the long term.

Aram Shishmanian, CEO of the World Gold Council says, “with the global economic recovery still burdened by high and rising debt levels in Western economies, as well as the renewed threat of recession driving down the US dollar and equities, the outlook for gold as a liquid, reliable asset class and as a store of wealth remains highly favorable.”

Gold mining stocks, a more risky but more profitable way to invest in gold provide more money-making opportunities than owning physical gold.

The typical belief is that gold mining stocks can rise as much as 20% to 30% more than gold prices making them an attractive investment for those who want exposure to gold without the hassle.

The juniors offer phenomenal upside potential. The challenge is to find the companies that have good and honest management and the ability to take an idea and a concept to a real business. You have to really do your homework and dig deep, but there is a phenomenal upside potential for that.

Sillenger Exploration Corp (OTC BB: SLGX) offers such an opportunity.

Sillenger Exploration Corp is a natural resource development company focused in mineral exploration opportunities in Canada and Africa. Parts of Africa have been noted for a rich history in gold, diamond, and other precious mineral mining. The continent hosts a number of major base metals mines extracting copper, zinc, bauxite, iron ore, etc. Recent exploration activity has led to the discovery of rare element strategic minerals such as uranium, tantalum, gallium and lithium.

Sillenger Exploration Corp owns a 100% interest in the three mineral claims, the Bulkley Mineral Claims, located in the Atlin Mining Division, British Columbia, Canada.

The Atlin mining area gained prominence in 1898 when placer gold was discovered. A gold mining “rush” ensued and was most active in the period between 1898 and 1910. Exploration for gold in the Atlin area has been continuous through to the present.

Sillenger Exploration Corp is focused on opportunities that lend themselves to the income statement and can build lasting value for Sillenger’s shareholders.

Stocks are Lower amid Continued European Economic Worries

19 May 2010 - 1:18pm

Submitted by SmallCapVoice.com

Stocks are moderately lower as markets worldwide again tracked the movement of the euro Wednesday.

U.S. stock index futures erased some of their deep, early morning losses as the euro bounced off a four-year low of $1.2146 and moved back up to $1.2246.

European stocks fell sharply at first, rattled by Germany’s move to ban a form of short selling. Germany enacted the ban in an effort to try to prevent its markets from falling sharply in response to concerns about Europe’s debt problems. But major European indexes also regained some ground as the euro moved higher.

Markets have taken their cues from the euro because it is seen as a proxy for confidence in Europe’s economy. Investors are concerned that severe budget cuts in countries like Greece, Portugal and Spain will significantly slow any recovery in Europe. That slowdown could then spread globally, halting a worldwide rebound.

European leaders agreed last week to a nearly $1 trillion bailout program to help countries that are facing mounting debt problems. The deal was initially embraced by investors. But traders quickly worried that the austerity measures tied to the rescue package would upend a rebound.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 36, or 0.3 percent, to 10,454. Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 4.70, or 0.4 percent, to 1,114.00, while Nasdaq 100 index fell 5.00, or 0.3 percent, to 1,883.00.
