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.

16:47 EDT	NWSA	On The Fly: Closing Wrap Stocks on Wall Street were lower, breaking the recent streak of the Dow and S&P 500 setting new closing highs. The averages moved higher during the afternoon, as the dollar topped the Y100 level for the first time in three years, though the averages fell again and failed to regain positive territory into the close. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., jobless claims fell 4K from the prior week to 323K, which was below the consensus 335K claim forecast. Wholesale inventories rose 0.4% in March, which matched expectations. In Asia, Chinese consumer prices increased 2.4% in April, which was just above expectations, and producer prices fell 2.6%, which was more than expected. Also, the Bank of Korea unexpectedly cut its interest rate. COMPANY NEWS: Two heavily shorted stocks, Tesla (TSLA) and Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR), surged after reporting quarterly earnings after yesterday's close. Tesla added $13.61, or 24.4%, to $xx 69.40 after its top and bottom line results beat Street estimates and it raised its full-year vehicle delivery outlook to 21,000 from 20,000 vehicles. Green Mountain shares gained $16.56, or 27.84%, to $76.04 after the company's earning came in better than expected and it announced a long-term strategic partnership with Starbucks. MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers was Barnes & Noble (BKS), up $4.31, or 24.25%, to $22.08 after a report saying Microsoft (MSFT) is considering acquiring the digital assets of Nook Media. Also higher was News Corp. (NWSA), up $1.43, or 4.49%, to $33.29 after its third quarter earnings were in-line and its revenues topped consensus estimates. Among the noteworthy losers Rackspace (RAX), down $12.88, or 24.66%, to $39.36 after its second quarter revenue missed Street estimates and its stock received downgrades from at least four analyst firms. Also lower following its quarterly report was Monster Beverage (MNST), which fell $2.96, or 5.2%, to $54.01. INDICES: The Dow was down 22.50, or 0.15%, to 15,082.62; the Nasdaq was down 4.10, or 0.12%, to 3,409.17; and the S&P 500 was down 6.02, or 0.37%, to 1,626.67.

10:48 EDT	CVC	Cablevision CFO says no plan to cut dividend Cablevision CFO Gregg Seibert said on the company's first quarter earnings conference call that the company's board shows "complete support" for continuing Cablevision's dividend at its current level. Seibert said the company pays about $40M a quarter in the form of a dividend and that the company "certainly did not earn that in the first quarter on a free cash flow basis." Seibert acknowledged going forward it's not clear the company will consistently earn that over the next few quarters, but from a liquidity standpoint the company's proceeds from its Bresnan transaction "should be in the neighborhood of $625M plus whatever working capital and cash is in the company at the time of closing." That liquidity and other sources gives the board "comfort" in regard to maintaining the dividend, according to the executive.

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.
