| theflyonthewall.com: | Market gives up its gains as rate increase rumors spread | | The market has given up its earlier gains and is now mixed as the Dow is the lone index in positive territory. The reversal came after rumors spread of a possible discount rate this afternoon. It was also reported the Fed doesn't comment on rumors but the damage was done. For a market which has moved higher for seven consecutive days it was bound to be susceptible to any news that would stimulate profit taking. :theflyonthewall.com |

| theflyonthewall.com: | S&P 500 reverses lower, factors to watch | | After failing to reach yesterday's high at 1169.84, the index sharply reversed to the mid-point of the notably light trading day today. The big level to keep in mind is the 10-day moving average, last at 1150.29. A break below that moving average would break the current uptrend. There has been desk chatter of some potential tightening action by the Fed, centering on a rise in the discount. This chatter has been credited with hitting the Financials (XLF), which are off their highs. The real culprit in bringing the index down appears to be the Energy sector (XLE). It fell sharply in the last half hour, and is down nearly 1.5%, as the dollar continues to appreciate against the Euro. This has hit crude, and natural gas prices are also sharply lower. Energy has been a notable laggard in the recent move up, even as other sectors hit fresh 52-week highs. Fertilizer names such as The Mosaic Company (MOS), and Potash Corp. (POT) have traded down in sympathy with the fall in natural gas, which was last off over 4%. :theflyonthewall.com |

This range break is bullish, as the range has been developing since July of last year. Range breaks that have taken this long to form often exhibit strong price reactions in the direction of the break. The upside potential for the range break, if it completes, is to the $46 area.

In the suit, two customers of Trex decking product alleged that their decks suffered from surface flaking and that Trex failed to provide adequate remedies. In 2007, Trex fully and publicly disclosed that a manufacturing problem affected a small percentage of product manufactured in its Fernley, Nevada plant beginning in 2003. This issue was entirely isolated to parts of the West Coast, only affected a small percentage of Trex decking materials produced in the Nevada plant, and has since been remediated. Under the settlement, Trex will continue to fully honor its warranty by replacing product, and also will provide partial reimbursement of labor expenses to affected consumers, the amount of which will be dependent on the size of the deck. The claim resolution process is described in the Settlement Agreement and class notice. Subject to any appeal, such approval shall be binding 30 days after March 16. :theflyonthewall.com |

Morgan Chase & Co. (JPM) has against Lehman Brothers Holdings stemming from controversial collateral demands made by J.P. Morgan. The settlement, approved by the judge overseeing Lehman's bankruptcy case, allows J.P. Morgan to keep $7.1B in cash collateral it's holding while transferring a pool of illiquid securities to Lehman that Lehman says could be worth billions of dollars. Under the agreement, J.P. Morgan will take about $7.1B in cash collateral it's holding and reduce its claim against Lehman from $7.68B to about $550M. Lehman will then make a $550M cash payment to J.P. Morgan.

| theflyonthewall.com: | Biolase Tech Q1 revenue to be lower than Q1 of 2009, Q2 to show improvement | | CEO David M. Mulder commented: "While we remain confident in the long-term outlook and the new deal structure, we expect some volatility in revenues for the first half of the year. We have agreed to accept a substantial portion of the remaining balance of the initial 14 month commitment from Henry Schein (HSIC) in orders placed and paid for, or prepaid orders, but with delivery later in the year. This may guarantee cash flow, but will result in sales being recognized in future quarters. As a result, we believe revenues for Q1 of 2010 will be lower than the same period in 2009. We expect Q2 to be a strong recovery over Q1, but prepaid orders may continue to delay some revenue recognition." :theflyonthewall.com |

| theflyonthewall.com: | U.S. automakers see decline in European sales, Detroit News reports | | U.S. automakers are expecting a big decline in sales in Europe after the conclusion of the "cash for clunkers" program in several major markets like Germany and Italy. Analysts say it is too early to tell how far European sales will decline, but the payback for the programs will begin to be seen when this month's sales are totaled. Ford (F) sees a 30% drop month-over-month starting in April, and is expected to rethink production plans for Q2; the automaker sees European sales down 17% this year. General Motors (GM, MTLQQ) is a little more optimistic and sees European sales down 10% in 2010. Reference Link :theflyonthewall.com |

Two unnamed franchisees say the promotion will begin after Memorial Day and run for 150 days. Reference Link :theflyonthewall.com |

The information is expected to include evidence the companies have collected to prove their points in a lawsuit, and may include insight into the early strategies of YouTube co-founders Steve Chen and Chad Hurley and how they responded to copyright complaints. The confidential information could also reveal whether other companies looked to buy YouTube before Google stepped in. Viacom is suing YouTube for over $1B in damages after alleging the video-sharing site built its success by infringing on copyrights. Reference Link :theflyonthewall.com |

| theflyonthewall.com: | Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" | | Jim Cramer told viewers of his "Mad Money" TV show that he was going to take the pulse of the market to see whether it was truly healthy-- with the DJIA hitting a new high for the year. The checkup consisted of 10 tests that Cramer said he's been using for years: A rally in transports. Strength in banking. Market upgrades in stocks. Leadership in technology. Cash on the sidelines. Strength in mergers. Strength in secondary offerings. Strength in IPOs. Market breadth. And, lastly skepticism at all-time highs. Cramer said he would be worried if there were danger signs in the market, but he said his 10 checkup tests point to more upside coming. Next, Cramer told viewers that sometimes the subjective side of investing is just as important as the analysis. Such is the case with retailer J. Crew (JCG). The company reported a blowout quarter last Tuesday, but Cramer said it was even more telling to listen to the company's conference call, and hear 10 of 16 analysts congratulating CEO Mickey Drexler on a terrific quarter. The CEO drove home the point that consumers are more savvy than ever, demanding value and quality, two things that J. Crew is passionate about. Cramer noted that J. Crew is "out-producting" its competitors by making lasting products that consumers really love. The company is also making its stores easier to shop at, furthering its brand loyalty, and expanding into wedding stores and men's apparel in a big way. With the stock of J. Crew up 386% from its lows of 2009, Cramer said J. Crew is most definitely a buy. MAD MAIL: Cramer followed up on NSTAR (NST), a stock that stumped him in Tuesday's Lightning Round. Cramer blessed the stock, saying that as Massachusetts' largest utility, it has a great dividend yield and should be immune to proposed carbon legislation. Cramer told another viewer that he'd take some profits in Clean Energy Fuels (CLNE) and Westport Innovations (WPRT) after their big runs, but he's still bullish on both companies.
