			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" title="Stock Market Image" src="http://247wallst.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/stock-market-image.jpg?w=200&#038;h=133" alt="" width="200" height="133" data-id="82326" data-caption="" />Markets opened slightly lower in the US this morning, but picked up steam in the morning and continued to rise, if slowly, for the rest of the day. The tech sector showed the most strength, with <a title="Tech Stocks Leading Sector Today (TSM, ALTR, TXN, INTC)" href="http://247wallst.com/2012/01/18/tech-stocks-leading-sector-today-tsm-altr-txn-intc/">semiconductor stocks rising sharply</a> and pushing the NASDAQ Composite index up more than 1.4% about half an hour before the closing bell. Financial stocks also did well today, and the euro rose back above $1.28 following a report that the IMF wants to increase its lending capacity to around $885 billion. Crude is mixed today, with WTI up fractionally at $100.78/barrel and Brent down -0.65% at $110.81/barrel. Gold rose as well today to $1,658.90.</p>
<p>The unofficial closing bells put the DJIA up nearly 97 points to 12,578.95 (0.78%), the NASDAQ rose nearly 42 points (1.53%) to 2,769.71, and the S&amp;P 500 rose 1.11% or more than 14 points to 1,308.04.</p>
<p>There were several analyst <a title="Top Analyst Upgrades &amp; Downgrades (CCL, CHK, LNG, CQP, CREE, EXPE, FTE, GOOG, JNS, KR, MGM, ODP, OMX, PVH, RL, TEF, TXT)" href="http://247wallst.com/2012/01/18/top-analyst-upgrades-downgrades-ccl-chk-lng-cqp-cree-expe-fte-goog-jns-kr-mgm-odp-omx-pvh-rl-tef-txt/">upgrades and downgrades today</a>, including Chesapeake Energy Corp. (NYSE: CHK) cut to ‘hold’ at Brean Murray; Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) cut to ‘market perform’ at Wells Fargo; The Kroger Co. (NYSE: KR) cut to ‘market perform’ at BMO Capital; Cheniere Energy Inc. (AMEX: LNG) started as ‘outperform’ with a $13.50 target price at Credit Suisse; and Carnival Corp. (NYSE: CCL) maintained as ‘hold’ but estimates cut at Argus.</p>
<p>Earnings reports since markets closed yesterday have led to some price changes as of the last half hour of trading today: Cree Inc. (NASDAQ: CREE) is up 4.3% at $24.33; The Charles Schwab Corp. (NYSE: SCHW) is down -1.3% at $12.00; Fastenal Co. (NASDAQ: FAST) is down -2.8% at $45.48; Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE: GS) is up 7.5% at $105.03; and State Street Corp. (NYSE: STT) is down -7% at $39.72.</p>
<p><strong>Other standouts from today include the following stocks:</strong></p>
<p>Euro Tech Holdings Co. Ltd. (NASDAQ: CLWT) is up nearly 53% at $3.91. The Hong Kong-based company has announced an 11-for-2 reverse stock split.</p>
<p>Net 1 UEPS Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: UEPS) is up more than 33% at $8.96. The South African software maker has announced a 5-year deal with the government’s social security agency.</p>
<p>Majesco Entertainment Co. (NASDAQ: COOL) is down more than -27% at $2.17. The video game maker forecast higher sales and marketing costs in 2012.</p>
<p>Ku6 Media Co. Ltd. (NASDAQ: KUTV) is down nearly -18% at $2.71. The Chinese online video company rose more than 150% yesterday on the announcement of deal with Google. Today’s fall is likely due to profit-taking.</p>
<p>We also noted 10 stocks that posted new all-time highs today. These include Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL), McDonald’s Corp. (NYSE: MCD), and Nike Inc. (NYSE: NKE). See our coverage <a title="Over 10 Big Stocks Hitting New All-Time Highs (AAPL, DLTR, ECL, MCD, MNST, NKE, PNRA, SBUX, AAP, AZO, ORLY)" href="http://247wallst.com/2012/01/18/over-10-big-stocks-hitting-new-all-time-highs-aapl-dltr-ecl-mcd-mnst-nke-pnra-sbux-aap-azo-orly/">here</a>.</p>

The S&amp;P 500 index topped 1,300 for the first time since last summer, but hasn’t been able to remain at that level. The US dollar is trading weaker against the euro, but stronger against both the British pound and the Japanese yen. The dollar index is down a bit more than -0.5% at 81.071. Energy companies have done well today, even though natural gas prices have fallen below $2.50/thousand cubic feet. WTI crude oil is up nearly 2% at $100.62/barrel, while Brent crude is up only fractionally at $111.38/barrel. Gold is up more than 1% at $1,650.70.</p>
<p>The unofficial closing bells put the DJIA up about 60 points to 12,482.22 (0.48%), the NASDAQ rose more than 17 points (0.64%) to 2,728.08, and the S&amp;P 500 rose 0.35% or nearly 5 points to 1,293.66.</p>

(NYSE: MMR) is up 4.55% at $13.32; TD Ameritrade Holding Corp. (NASDAQ: AMTD) is down -1.72% at $16.02; Wells Fargo &amp; Co. (NYSE: WFC) is up 0.67% at $29.81; Citigroup Inc. (NYSE: C) is down nearly -8% at $28.29; and Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP) is up nearly 8% at $54.93.</p>

<p>R.R. Donnelly &amp; Sons Co. (NYSE: RRD) is down nearly -16% at $12.12 after posting a new 52-week low of $12.08 earlier. The business services company said revenues for 2011 are going to be lower than expected.</p>
<p>Carnival Corp. (NYSE: CCL) is down nearly -14% at $29.57. The cruise ship operator is sinking following the disaster off the Italian coast that has left 11 dead and 29 missing.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://247wallst.com/2010/08/11/a-festering-pessimism-in-us-and-other-developed-nations/titanic-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-76486"><img class="alignleft" title="titanic" src="http://247wallst.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/titanic1.jpg?w=200&#038;h=163" alt="" width="200" height="163" data-id="76486" data-caption="" /></a>Carnival Corporation (NYSE: CCL) is getting hammered this morning after one of its Costa cruise lines grounded and partially capsized, resulting in the loss of life and resulting in million and millions of dollars of damages to Carnival and its earnings.  Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (NYSE: RCL) is being negatively impacted as well and it had nothing to do with this.</p>
<p>The company has put the quarterly hit at about $0.11 to $0.12 against its earnings per share.  J.P. Morgan downgraded the stock as a result of the accident&#8217;s impact.  Carnival&#8217;s Costa brand is countered by the other brands of Cunard, P&amp;O, AIDA, and Ibero internationally and the Carnival brand known so well throughout North America.</p>
<p>What is interesting here is that by seeing a drop of 16%, it is analogous to losing one-sixth of the vale when this is about 1% of its counted ships.  It sounds like too much of a drop on the surface, but this comes at a time when the European business is rocky and at a time when promotions are high.  Things were already tough, but this made a declining situation very bad.</p>
<p>Carnival shares fell more than 16% on Monday in London trading, but shares are up less than 1% in London trading today.  In New York, Carnival Corporation (NYSE: CCL) shares are trading down 16.3% at $28.74 and the 52-week trading range is $28.52 to $48.13. Its market value before this accident was over $26.6 billion.</p>
<p>Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (NYSE: RCL) is down 7.5% at $26.59 and its 52-week range is $18.70 to $49.99. Its market value was about $6.25 billion before the trading of this morning.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" title="Stock Market Image" src="http://247wallst.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/stock-market-image.jpg?w=200&#038;h=133" alt="" width="200" height="133" data-id="82326" data-caption="" />Stocks open slightly higher this morning, but quickly reversed course to begin falling in less than five minutes of trading. The DJIA hit a morning low just before noon and has bounced around off that ever since. The Nasdaq Composite and the S&amp;P 500 have followed the same pattern. Italy’s successful auction of short-term debt was quickly followed by a drop in the euro to below $1.30, where the single currency has remained throughout the day. Commodity prices have been generally lower today, although wheat, corn, and coffee have posted gains. Crude oil prices have fallen following a statement by Saudi Arabia that other countries would pick up any shortfall in crude deliveries caused by possible Iranian action in the Strait of Hormuz. Brent crude is down -1.85% at $107.42/barrel and WTI is down the same amount at $99.49/barrel. Gold is down sharply, nearly -2.5%, at $1,556.40/ounce.</p>
<p>The unofficial closing bells put the DJIA down nearly 140 points to 12,151.64 (-1.14%), the NASDAQ fell more than 35 points (-1.34%) to 2,589.98, and the S&amp;P 500 fell -1.25% or nearly 16 points to 1,249.66.</p>
<p>There were several <a title="Top Analyst Upgrades &amp; Downgrades (BHP, CCL, DLPH, MN, MFRM, MCP, PKD, PCCC, PMT, SHLD, JOE, VRSK)" href="http://247wallst.com/2011/12/28/top-analyst-upgrades-downgrades-bhp-ccl-dlph-mn-mfrm-mcp-pkd-pccc-pmt-shld-joe-vrsk/">analyst upgrades and downgrades today</a>, including BHP Billiton plc (NYSE: BHP) cut from ‘neutral’ to ‘underperform’ at Zack’s Investment Research; Molycorp Inc. (NYSE: MCP) target price and estimate lowered to $39 at JPMorgan; Carnival Corp. (NYSE: CCL) maintained as ‘hold’ but estimates cut at Argus; Sears Holding Corp. (NASDAQ: SHLD) maintained as ‘underperform’ and target price lowered to $20 at Credit Suisse; Parker Drilling Co. (NYSE: PKD) named ‘value stock of the day’ at Zack’s; and Delphi Automotive (NASDAQ: DLPH) started as ‘buy’ at Goldman Sachs.</p>
<p>There are no earnings reports of note out yet today. After markets close today Piedmont Natural Gas Co. (NYSE: PNY) and Reading International Inc. (NASDAQ: RDI) are scheduled to report earnings.</p>
<p><strong>Other standouts from today include the following stocks:</strong></p>
<p>Arctic Cat Inc. (NASDAQ: ACAT) is up more than 20% at $22.80, after posting a new 52-week high of $24 earlier today. The recreational vehicle maker announced that it had repurchased a 33% stake in the company owned by Suzuki, reducing outstanding shares by about a third.</p>
<p>Delcath Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: DCTH) is up nearly 11% at $3.38. The drug development company has received EU standards certification for its plant in Galway, Ireland.</p>
<p>Endeavor International Corp. (NYSE: END) is up nearly 11% to $8.78. The independent oil &amp; gas company continues to receive attention for its purchase of North Sea assets from ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP) and an ratings upgrade from ‘market perform’ to ‘outperform’ at Rodman &amp; Renshaw.</p>
<p>Molycorp shares are down nearly -14% at $24.12 after posting a new 52-week low of $24.03 earlier today. The rare earths miner was downgraded this morning and a Chinese announcement on exports of rare earth minerals are both weighing on the company. More on Molycorp <a title="Efficient Market Theory Cannot Apply To Molycorp (MCP, AVL, REE, REMX)" href="http://247wallst.com/2011/12/28/efficient-market-theory-cannot-apply-to-molycorp-mcp-avl-ree-remx/">here</a>.</p>
<p>SemiLEDS Corp. (NASDAQ: LEDS) is up more than 18% at $3.81. The LED lighting maker hit a technical target at around $3.29/share. Trading in SemiLEDS shares is about 6x average daily volume.</p>
