theflyonthewall.com: Nike's "hot punch" running shoes part of new trend, Bloomberg reports
Technologically sophisticated running shoes are all the rage as a fashion statement, and shoppers are paying $100 for Nike’s (NKE) Free sneaker in “hot punch” -- aka pink, reports Bloomberg. Sales of shoes like these in the U.S. jumped 14% to $6.46B in the 12 months through March, according to NPD Group. And Q1 profit gains helped shares at retailers from Foot Locker Inc. (FL) to Dick’s Sporting Goods (DKS), evidence that a trend that began two years ago still has room to grow. Reference Link :theflyonthewall.com

theflyonthewall.com: Dick's Sporting weakness a buying opportunity, says Sterne Agee
Sterne Agee views the weakness in Dick's Sporting shares following David Einhorn's presentation yesterday as a buying opportunity. The analyst said Amazon.com's potential entrance into the sporting goods category will impact companies that focus on commodity products, unlike Dick's (DKS) and Golf Galaxy, which have a large number of exclusive or private label brands. The firm rates shares a Buy with a $56 price target. :theflyonthewall.com

theflyonthewall.com: On The Fly: Midday Wrap
Stocks on Wall Street were higher at midday, amid a raft of U.S. economic data and surprisingly strong economic growth in Germany. Each of the major indices was in positive territory and near session highs around noon despite trading in a narrow range for the entire session. The averages have had a better tone since the close of the European markets, which once again dictated the direction of our markets in the early going. Europe's markets, which had been higher following better than expected GDP numbers from Germany, fell when Greece said they were unable to establish a coalition government. The U.S. markets see-sawed with the European news but have generally remained in a narrow range... ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., the Consumer Price Index remained flat in April, as expected, while the core CPI, which excludes food and energy, rose 0.2%, which was also in line with forecasts. The Empire Manufacturing Index had a reading of 17.09, versus expectations of a 9.0 reading. Retail sales increased 0.1% in April, which matched expectations, while the core reading subtracting autos and gas rose 0.1%, versus expectations of an increase of 0.3%. Business inventories increased 0.3% in March, versus expectations for an increase of 0.4%. The NAHB Housing Market Index hit a five year high with a reading of 29, versus expectations for a reading of 26. In Europe, Greek political leaders failed to agree on a coalition government so the nation will hold new elections. Also, the 17-member euro zone narrowly avoided a recession, as economic growth in the first quarter was flat, but the overall result was largely influenced by unexpectedly strong growth in Germany. Germany's GDP rose 0.5%, but growth was flat in France, Italy's economy shrunk 0.8%, Spain's fell by 0.3% and Greece's GDP declined 6.2%... COMPANY NEWS: Groupon (GRPN) shares rallied over 16% after its earnings and revenue beat expectations. The company also guided to revenues next quarter that were above consensus at the midpoint but some on the Street remain skeptical, as Stifel Nicolaus said shares are likely to weaken into the June 1 lockup expiration and Susquehanna lowered its price target on the stock to $15 from $25... Dow component Home Depot (HD) slid about 2% after its earnings beat expectations and it raised its full year profit forecast. Sales, however, missed estimates and the company said that same store sales growth next quarter would lag because of sales pulled into the early part of the year due to warm weather... MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers were TJX (TJX), up about 7%, after its earnings and revenue beat expectations, and Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS), up 7% as well, after its sales, profits and guidance all came in above consensus. Noteworthy losers included Avon (AVP), down over 10%, after Coty withdrew its proposal to acquire the company, and Summer Infant (SUMR), down 25%, after the company's earning and revenue fell short of expectations... INDICES: Near noon, the Dow was up 60.92, or 0.48%, to 12,756.27; the Nasdaq was up 26.43, or 0.91%, to 2,929.01; and the S&P 500 was up 6.27, or 0.47%, to 1,344.62. :theflyonthewall.com

theflyonthewall.com: Jim Cramer's "Mad Money"
Jim Cramer laid out his game plan for the week of May 14, ahead of Facebook's (FB) IPO on Friday. (Monday) Groupon (GRPN) reports, Cramer said this stock shows us just what can go wrong with a red hot technology-related IPO. He said to stay away. (Tuesday) A slew of retail earnings, including JC Penney (JCP), Dick'' Sporting Goods (DKS), Saks (SKS), TJX Stores (TJX) and Home Depot (HD). Cramer was bullish on TJX and Home Depot, but told investors to steer clear of the others for now. (Wednesday) earnings include John Deere (DE) a perpetually downbeat conference call, Target (TGT) a retailer whose prospects are looking up, along with two restaurants Jack in the Box (JACK) and Red Robin (RRBG). Cramer said he's intrigued by Target, but would only listen to the two burger chains'' results. (Thursday) Reporting: Ross Stores (ROST), Gap Stores (GPS) and Dollar Tree (DLTR), along with cloud computing giant Salesforce.com (CRM). Cramer said to buy any of the retailers on weakness, but only pickup Salesforce if the weakness is severe. (Friday) the expected IPO of Facebook (FB) and Cramer once again told investors to get in on the IPO, if they can, but absolutely do not buy any shares in the aftermarket. Next, Cramer said he's always a fan of companies unlocking value by splitting themselves up. In a case like Marathon Oil (MRO), shares rose 30% from the time the deal was announced until the split actually occurred earlier this year. But once the split happens, cautioned Cramer, the opportunity comes to an end. Now ConocoPhillips (COP) has spun off its Phillips 66 (PSX) refining and pipeline assets, the company is only growing at 3% to 5% a year, hardly enough to get excited about., Cramer says. He prefers Chevron (CVX), which offers a smaller dividend but also more growth. Investors looking for even more upside should consider EOG Resources (EOG) or an oil pipeline like Kinder Morgan Energy Partners (KMP). Bottom-line: Cramer said that he's not a buyer of either half of the old Conoco and told investors that this opportunity, like most other break up stories, has come to an end. Then, Cramer put the energy drink maker Monster Beverage (MNST) through his 10-step prism to find out if its a turbo-charged company or just an over-caffeinated stock. Weighing all the pros and cons, Cramer said that he would invest in Monster only as a speculative stock. He also recommended using deep-in-the-money call options as a stock replacement strategy to limit the downside risk. MAD MAIL: Medtronic (MDT) is dead money and there are better places to invest. Cramer prefers Energy Transfer Partners (ETP) instead of Inergy (NRGY). Conns (CONN) too risky. Cramer is only recommending a few oil stocks and not Carrizo (CRZO). Bearish on Windstream Communications (WIN). Abbott Labs (ABT) is his favorite drug stock. NO HUDDLE OFFENSE: Cramer sounded off on the JPMorgan Chase (JPM)) bad-trade debacle. Cramer suggested JPM CEO Jamie Dimon give up his bonus as a gesture of good will toward shareholders. LIGHTNING ROUND: (Bullish) DOW; CCE; HBAN, buy under $6. (Bearish) UPL; BGCP; BRCD; ERF.Reference Link :theflyonthewall.com
