Active traders have many stocks to choose from this Wednesday. We are tracking news and moves in shares of American International Group, Inc. (NYSE: AIG), BP plc (NYSE: BP), Family Dollar Stores Inc. (NYSE: FDO), Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc. (NASDAQ: GMCR), Repros Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: RPRX), Sealy Corporation (NYSE: ZZ), Standard Microsystems Corp. (NASDAQ: SMSC), and YRC Worldwide Inc. (NASDAQ: YRCW).

American International Group, Inc. (NYSE: AIG) is a surprise on reports that a plan is out that would take Uncle Sam’s ownership to less than half of the company. Shares are up 0.8% at $37.63 versus a 52-week range of $21.54 to $47.49.

BP plc (NYSE: BP) is not up so much in percentages, but it is what the stock is nearly up to that matters. Its new CEO is shuffling the ranks of management at BP and the company just raised a large increased-size bond offering just yesterday. Shares are up 0.6% at $39.52, within about 1.6% of that magical $40.00-mark. We have also seen over 2 million shares trade hands.

Family Dollar Stores Inc. (NYSE: FDO) is showing that the dollar store trend is still alive. A 23% earning gain allowed it to easily beat earnings estimates. Shares are up 4.5% at $45.29 and you can mark this as a 52-week high as the prior range was $25.52 to $44.48.

Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc. (NASDAQ: GMCR) is already over 1 million shares in pre-market trading after disclosing charges based on revenue recognition and on an SEC inquiry. Shares are down almost 14% at $31.94 after hitting a 52-week high of $37.97 just yesterday morning.

Repros Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: RPRX) is getting smacked with shares down 16% at $0.40 on almost 75,000 shares. This is after the board announced it has approved a 1 for 4 stock split.

Sealy Corporation (NYSE: ZZ) must be selling bed bugs along with its mattresses. the company missed earnings estimates and shares are down 11.8% at $2.45 versus a 52-week range of $2.30 to $4.24. This one does not usually appear as a “day trader or active trader alert.”

Standard Microsystems Corp. (NASDAQ: SMSC) is down 7.7% at $20.75 but on rather thin volume after its Q3 outlook failed to impress investors. The 52-week range is $17.80 to $27.85.

YRC Worldwide Inc. (NASDAQ: YRCW) is trading up after its CEO announced that he would retire upon the completion of its successful recovery. Shares are up 5.5% at $0.32 on over 400,000 shares pre-market.
