There are many stocks on the move for day traders and active traders to pick from this Tuesday morning.  We are watching the key moves in AgFeed Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: FEED), Ambac Financial Group, Inc. (NYSE: ABK), Capital Product Partners L.P. (NASDAQ: CPLP), Fossil, Inc. (NASDAQ: FOSL), Grand Canyon Education, Inc. (NASDAQ: LOPE), JA Solar Holdings Co., Ltd. (NASDAQ: JASO), MBIA Inc. (NYSE: MBI), Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX), Nuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN), Penwest Pharmaceuticals Co.

AgFeed Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: FEED) is down 10% this morning after its earnings showed “an extremely difficult operating environment as a result of a series of severe floods throughout its area of operations.”  Shares are down 10.8% at $2.46 on over 65,000 shares.

Ambac Financial Group, Inc. (NYSE: ABK) is getting crushed after earnings because it disclosed that it is working on a bankruptcy filing as a contingency.  Shares are down 23% at $0.69 on over 1.5 million shares.

Capital Product Partners L.P. (NASDAQ: CPLP) is trading lower on a secondary offering as it plans to offer 5.5 million units to acquire MR Tanker M/T Assos for $43.5 million in proceeds.  Shares are down 7% at $8.48 on about 25,000 units.

Fossil, Inc. (NASDAQ: FOSL) is rising on stronger than expected second quarter earnings and a raised 2010 outlook.  Shares are up 7.5% at $45.65 on almost 40,000 shares.

Grand Canyon Education, Inc. (NASDAQ: LOPE) beat earnings estimates, but its guidance was short of estimates.  Can that be a shock considering the attack on for-profi education?  Apparently it is an excuse to sell the stock all over again.  Shares are down over 8% at $18.50 on thin volume.  The 52-week trading range is $15.87 to $28.46.

Nuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN) had soft earnings and guided in-line for the quarter ahead.  It is an earnings nuance… Shares of the speech recognition software leader are down 9.4% at $15.74 on over 200,000 shares.

Penwest Pharmaceuticals Co. (NASDAQ: PPCO) is trading up only marginally after its Endo Pharmaceuticals buyout news.  Shares are up almost 5% at $4.96 on the deal that gives the company almost no premium.  The 52-week trading range was $1.80 to $4.89.

Qiagen NV (NASDAQ: QGEN) beat earnings but said it is eyeing large acquisitions.  The ADRs are down 3.7% at $18.82 on 139,000 shares and the 52-week trading range is $18.06 to $24.00.
