Democratic Senator Mark Warner questioned whether broadcast stations that pull their programming off the air should be able to keep using spectrum for free, The Hill reported yesterday.

| 10:42 EDT |  | NFLX | Netflix moves higher, levels to watch
The shares are moving against the broader sideways or down move in technology today, last at $244.10. It would appear that traders are intent on moving the shares back toward the $250 area. That area in the prior two-years was important support and then resistance. When the shares broke below that level in August 2011, it presaged a steep decline in share price. Retaking that level and holding it therefore might encourage more bullishness for higher price. A failure to do so could potentially derail the current trend higher. |

| 16:23 EDT |  | SNE | On The Fly: Closing Wrap
Stocks on Wall Street were higher on a Tuesday again, keeping the strange "Tuesday in 2013" streak alive. Some positive domestic economic data and bullish commentary from Appaloosa Management's David Tepper set the tone early and the averages traded with an upward bias for almost the entire trading day. Today's advance means that every Tuesday this year has seen the market log gains, and investors will have to wait another week to see if the pattern continues. ECONOMIC EVENTS: The NFIB small business optimism index for April rose to 92.1, versus expectations for it to climb to 90.3 from its prior 89.5 reading. Import prices were reported to have declined 0.5% in April, which was in-line with expectations. Export prices declined 0.7%, versus a forecast for a 0.1% drop in the month. COMPANY NEWS: Dell (DELL) shares lost 6c, or 0.44%, to $13.46 after Dow Jones said the company will report first quarter non-GAAP earnings of 20c per share, 15c below current consensus estimates. That followed an earlier report from CNBC's David Faber, who also said the company will report earnings that miss expectations and accurately called that Dell has moved its report to Thursday, which is earlier than had been expected... Sony (SNE) shares added $1.87, or 9.9%, but closed off their best levels at $20.76 after the New York Times reported that Dan Loeb of Third Point has built a 6.5% stake and proposes that the company take its entertainment unit public. MAJOR MOVERS: Among notable gainers was InterOil (IOC), up $7.46, or 9.57%, to $85.39 after reporting its earnings and saying its talks with "major oil companies and a national oil company" about a potential LNG partnership are in the final stages. Also higher was SodaStream (SODA), up $6.79, or 11.85%, to $64.08 after at least two analyst firms raised their price target on shares following yesterday's analyst day presentations. Among noteworthy losers was Solar City (SCTY), down $4.44, or 12.37%, to $31.44 after the company's first quarter earnings missed expectations and the stock was downgraded by at least two firms. Also lower was Velti (VELT), down 29c, or 14.5%, to $1.71 after its revenue outlook fell below estimates. INDICES: The Dow was up 123.57, or 0.82%, to 15,215.25; the Nasdaq was up 23.82, or 0.69%, to 3,462.61; and the S&P 500 was up 16.57, or 1.01%, to 1,650.34. |

| 17:01 EDT | | DIS | On The Fly: Closing Wrap
Stocks on Wall Street were higher again, pushing the Dow and S&P to new record levels. A late afternoon move down to the flatline made it seem like the recent winning streak was set to end, but the averages quickly reversed higher and closed firmly in positive ground. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., the light economic calendar included MBA's report on mortgage applications, which were up 7%, and the EIA's petroleum status report, which showed crude oil inventories built up by less than was expected last week. In Europe, German industrial production increased 1.2% month-over-month in March, beating expectations for a 0.1% decline. In Asia, Chinese trade data showed exports climbed 14.7% in April, while imports were up 16.8%. However, some analysts expressed caution that the strong export gains should be viewed with some level of skepticism. COMPANY NEWS: Dow member Disney (DIS) beat expectations on the top and bottom line and price targets on the stock were raised at several firms, but shares slid 8c, or 0.12%, to $65.99... J.C. Penney (JCP) released preliminary Q1 results last night, including comparable store sales that were down 16.6% and revenue of $2.64B, which was below expectations. However, the results were enough to send shares of the heavily-shorted retailer up $1.21, or 7.38%, to $17.61. MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers was Whole Foods Market (WFM), up $9.39, or 10.12%, to $102.19 after earnings beat estimates, the company raised its full year outlook and announced a two-for-one stock split. Also higher were shares of Dex Media (DXM), up $2.84, or 20.71%, to $16.55 after Kyle Bass, presenting at the Sohn Investing Conference, said the company's stock could trade up to 5 times higher than current levels in 3 years. Among the noteworthy losers was Fusion-io (FIO), down $3.40, or 18.89%, to $14.60 after its CEO and chief marketing officer resigned and shares were downgraded by at least two analyst firms. Also lower following its earnings report was Zillow (Z), which fell $6.26, or 9.95%, to $56.68. INDICES: The Dow was up 48.92, or 0.32%, to 15,105.12; the Nasdaq was up 16.64, or 0.49%, to 3,413.27; and the S&P 500 was up 6.73, or 0.41%, to 1,632.69. |
