Open Text Corporation (Nasdaq: OTEX): Stock of the Day by David Fessler, Advisory Panelist One Stock to Watch in this Little-Known Software Sector The swine flu virus has a number of biotech stocks moving upwards, and pork producers moving downwards.

My First Stock To Go To $0: uWink Officially Delists From Exchanges

Tue, 20 Jan 2009 03:54:00 GMT

On December 5th, 2008, uWink (NASDAQ: UWKI.OB) made an “odd lot” tender offer to purchase all shares of its common stock held by persons owning 99 shares or fewer on the close of business as of December 1, 2008.

Well, it turns out that uWink was successful in this endeavor and that it will deregister with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about January 30, 2009. As I [More...]

Dow Slide Continues In 5th Straight Session Of Losses

Tue, 13 Jan 2009 21:42:00 GMT

For a fifth consecutive day the Dow Jones Industrials posted negative returns leading their slide from the 9000 point mark early last week. The 600 point slide during the sell-off was caused by continued US economic concern, the weakening of the domestic job picture and the sustained struggles of banks and automakers. News makers and headliners over the past week have been significantly negative as company quarterly losses and job cuts continue to rule the front pages. Alcoa (AA), one of the main culprits of the bearish trading tone, reporting a loss far wider than analysts expected along with a 35% decline in revenues. Whether in North America or across the world the story seems the same as Sony (SNE), the electronics giant is rumored to be looking at steep job cuts amidst a rumored loss of $1.1Billion for the[More...]

WOO-DOGGY! Would you like some volatility to go along with your morning coffee? Since I last came out with my top 5 stocks for November, the market’s gyrations have certainly put everyone on edge, and make buying stocks at this juncture definitely not for the faint of heart, or those with very short term investing time frames.

Jobless Claims Jump to 4.5 Million

Thu, 01 Jan 2009 21:49:00 GMT

WASHINGTON - The number of laid-off workers continuing to draw unemployment benefits bolted to 4.5 million in late December, and even more Americans are expected to join the ranks of the jobless in 2009.
While first-time applications for jobless benefits dropped last week, economists mostly attributed that to the Christmas holiday and cautioned that a more accurate picture of new layoff filings won't become clear until the holiday season is passed - around mid- January.
The Labor Department's report showed that people continuing to draw unemployment benefits jumped by 140,000 to 4.5 million for the week ending Dec. 20, the most recent period for which that information is available.
