This Week on StockHouse April 23 to 27

Earnings season was in full force this week, and the Dow closed above 13,000 points for the first time.

For a fast rundown of what’s hot and the companies that are attracting attention of StockHouse users, check out the StockHouse Top Five (http://www.stockhouse.ca/shfn/article.asp?edtID=19631 ) assembled by Sean Mason and Keri Korteling.

This week, posters to the Dianor Resources BullBoard were discussing the company’s future in the context of its 1.5 carat yellow diamond find (http://www.stockhouse.ca/shfn/article.asp?edtID=19639 ). Sean Mason got the news and some background in this week’s Buzz on the BullBoards.

A diamond miner with a property in Lesotho, Southern Africa (http://www.stockhouse.ca/shfn/article.asp?edtID=19618 ) was one of the micro-cap prospects that Danny Deadlock examined in his weekly column. 

Hot on the heels of the launch of its molybdenum participation stock, Sprott Asset Management was investing in a resource junior with the Copaquire copper-moly prospect (http://www.stockhouse.ca/shfn/article.asp?edtID=19619 ) in Chile. The Resource Report also updated readers on the details of the company’s other project, a copper property called Tobaco.

Trading Discipline is a new column featuring technical analyst Don Rodgers. The inaugural edition provided advice about averaging down (http://www.stockhouse.ca/shfn/article.asp?edtID=19620).

The Micro-cap Spotlight shone on a genetic analysis tools company that recently agreed to be acquired (http://www.stockhouse.ca/shfn/article.asp?edtID=19624 ), and suggested that investors take profits off the table.

The Bio Check by Leon Hamerling and J. Paul reviewed one small biotech with a well executed plan to target a particularly problematic bug (http://www.stockhouse.ca/shfn/article.asp?edtID=19629).

As equities continue to gain ground, bonds look less attractive (http://www.stockhouse.ca/shfn/article.asp?edtID=19632 ). There are other factors affecting the treasuries, and Steven Saville remains a bond bear.

While equities look hot, Don Vialoux said that investors may want to take profits on their S&P500 ETFs (http://www.stockhouse.ca/shfn/article.asp?edtID=19638 ), where there are signs of weakness.

The Financially Fit column this week looked at more special situations (http://www.stockhouse.ca/shfn/editorial.asp?edtID=19643 ) where investors can benefit – mergers & acquisitions and stock splits.
