| 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: | On The Fly: Closing Wrap | | Stocks on Wall Street were lower as fears mounted of a possible disorderly Greek exit from the euro currency. Stock futures were lower to begin the week as the market took its cue from the European markets, which were sharply lower. The weakness was attributed to Greece’s inability to form a coalition government and the prospect that the euro zone’s firewall will prove insufficient to shield Spain and other embattled countries against the effect of a Greek catastrophe. Weaker demand data out of China, highlighted by that country's policy response, certainly did not help either. The U.S. market opened sharply lower and continued its drop until finally finding a level about an hour into trading. With the financial sector still reeling from JP Morgan's (JPM) trading loss and the associated fallout, the averages tried in vain to recapture their losses before faltering again in the afternoon... ECONOMIC EVENTS: Domestically, there was little on the economic calendar. In Europe, stock markets plunged and the yields on benchmark sovereign debt in Greece, Spain and Italy spiked as Greece continues to be unable to form a new government. In China, the central bank announced plans over the weekend to cut its bank reserve requirement by 0.5 percentage points after economic readings showed industrial production growth had slowed... COMPANY NEWS: Yahoo! (YHOO) shares gained 2% after activist investor Dan Loeb won a spot on the company's board, along with two of his other nominees, and the company's CEO Scott Thompson quit over the resume inaccuracy that Loeb brought to light... Chesapeake Energy (CHK) also jumped as it was linked to a prominent activist investor, as shares rose 4.79% after the Wall Street Journal reported that Carl Icahn will likely reveal he once again has increased his stake in the company. The company also said after the close on Friday that it had arranged for a $3B unsecured loan to aid its financial flexibility as it continues to sell off assets and said on its call today to discuss the financing that it "wouldn't be surprised" if Icahn becomes a large shareholder... MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers was Groupon (GRPN), up $1.84, or 18.54%, to $11.73, ahead of its earnings report after the bell and up another 11% in the after market when its earnings and revenue beat expectations. Also higher were shares of Francesca's (FRAN), up $1.58, or 6.60%, to $25.60, after the company raised its earnings and same store sales guidance for its upcoming report and terminated its CFO for improper communication via social media. Noteworthy losers included Ancestry.com (ACOM), down $3.59, or 13.72%, to $22.57, following NBC's cancellation of the show "Who Do You Think You Are?", which featured the company's technology and services, and InterOil (IOC), down $3.88, or 6.73%, to $53.73, after the company said it received a notice that Papua New Guinea's government will cancel a liquefied natural gas project in the country... INDICES: The Dow lost 125.25, or 0.98%, to 12,695.35; the Nasdaq fell 31.24, or 1.06%, to 2,902.58; and the S&P 500 dropped 15.04, or 1.11%, to 1,338.35. :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 |
