52-Week Low Club (T, CCE, CHB, EBAY, GGC, GLBL, IGT, PAA, RRI, SGLP, TXT, VCLK)

52_week_low_imageWe’ve had essentially a 500 point rally in the DJIA in just the last two days and oil is starting to lose its mo-mo.  Yet some companies just refuse to participate in the rally because of news, and many look like they were caught in a mid-city explosion (hence the image). 

Regardless of how the market does you can always count on many news-driven or sector driven events causing new lows.  One thing is for sure during a weak economy and during choppy earnings, there will be many more stocks in the coming weeks hitting 52-week lows.  Some will continue hitting new lows over and over.
