The Fate That Awaits BlackBerry

By George Kesarios:

For all the fuss that Tesla’s (TSLA) parabolic rise is a product of short sellers running for cover, I am sorry but that does not compute with the data. Unless someone has real time daily data to be able to tell if shares are being covered on a daily basis, while new short positions open at the same time, the data simply does not show that shares are being covered.

As the most recent data from NASDAQ shows, while short sellers have covered a little over the past several weeks, the truth of the matter is that the stock has been rising for several months now and short covering has nothing to do with it.

But with about 49% of the float sold short, all the stock really needs is several people on CNBC saying it is being covered, and speculation activity takes over and the by-product is the

By SA Editor Miriam Metzinger:

Stocks discussed on the in-depth session of Jim Cramer’s Mad Money TV Program, Thursday May 9.

Reckless Speculative Generals: Tesla (TSLA), Micron (MU), Boston Scientific (BSX), Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR), Barnes & Noble (BKS). Other stocks mentioned: Microsoft (MSFT), Starbucks (SBUX), Transocean (RIG).

The Dow surged before reversing on Thursday. Cramer is seeing signs of froth, given what kind of stocks were the generals leading the rally. The huge gainers on Thursday included Tesla (TSLA), Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR), Micron (MU), Boston Scientific (BSX) and Barnes & Noble (BKS). These stocks are either speculative or have sizeable short positions. A movement in the market is defined by the “generals” or the stocks leading the rally. Given the unstable nature of the “generals,” Cramer would be careful going forward, since the move seems volatile.

Micron (MU) and Boston Scientific (BSX) were both stocks stuck in a range and

In surprise move, South Korea cuts rates. In a surprise move, the South Korean central bank cut interest rates by 25 basis points Thursday, calling economic activity in the eurozone and emerging markets “sluggish” and “weaker than initially expected.” The cut took the base rate to 2.5%, its lowest level in two years and when combined with recent fiscal policy designed to bolster growth, should help “accelerate the recovery and increase the upside of Korea’s GDP,” one economist told the NY Times. South Korean stocks (EWY) rose 1.18% and the won fell 0.34% against the dollar.

In China, consumer prices rise, producer price deflation persists. Consumer prices rose 2.4% in China during April, up from 2.1% in March and slightly above economists’ estimates, although still well below the government’s 3.5% target. Producer prices — now in their fourteenth straight month of decline —

5 Recent Pullbacks – Should You Buy Now?

Topnews, Worldnews, , , , ,

By Bill Maurer:

That long waited market pullback may finally be here. While US markets recovered most of their losses on Friday after a dismal jobs report, the S&P 500 is still 20 points off its recent high. A lot of individual stocks are also pulling back at this time. Today, I’m here to discuss five of them, and whether you should buy now or wait. Three of the names I’m discussing either hit or were very close to 52-week lows this week, while the other two have recently pulled back from 52-week highs.

Apple (AAPL):

I recently wrote that Apple could take another beating. The basis for my reasoning was that Apple has not launched any new products in a while, which is causing analysts to continually cut their revenue and earnings estimates, as well as price targets. Those continued negative notes would cause more selling in Apple, and on Friday,
