Radio Shack (RSH) has been on a long slide until recently. In the last 52-weeks, the price has been at a high of $35 (6/18/07) and a low of $13.31 (1/22/08). It recently closed at $16.34.Why would anyone be interested in Radio Shack? For one thing, it has a $1.61 earnings per share, a price to earnings ratio therefore of about 10. The dividend, ...

One of the big recent movers is IMPAC Mortgage Holdings (IMH). It jumped 25 percent and is up 162 percent for the year. This is one of those cases where penny stocks does phenomenal gymnastics, but IMPAC hasn’t always been in the under-$5 crowd ("penny stocks" used to be under a dollar, inflation you know).The September quarterly...

Looking through the industry lists, it seems that Transportation has moved the best, up some 2.96 percent. JetBlue Airways (JBLU) similarly bubbled to the top of that list, up some 8.65 percent. While it is uncertain how long this will continue, this wasn’t just for today, last Tuesday began the current spurt (see chart).Of course the ques...

Con-Way Trucking (CNW) is buying more trailers, about 1,270 from Wabash National. Whether that is related to news of the week before is related is kind of fuzzy, it seems that American truckers want to do business in China. One of Con-Way’s operations is logistic controls.Earlier this month several transportation companies had a downturn i...

Closing at $5.26, Circuit City is some 50 percent above the 52-week low of $3.47 only a week before. Last February it was trading at $22. Previous spikes in volume seem to represent selling opportunities for the most part. The question is if it is another temporary blip before another fall, or a change of direction.What catches my attention, tec...

RandGold isn't just South Africa anymore, but it is still strongly about gold production. People interested in gold might want to look at this producer and look closely.

I ran across an ETF (Exchange Traded Fund) provider called Holdrs. I probably wouldn’t have noticed them except that one of their products, B2B Internet (BHH) has grown a bit in share price. In some ways it was a bit of an oddity because it was essentially in the penny stock range but when it rose close to 10 percent in one day, it p...

AZZ (AZZ: NYSE) is an interesting company. In part, I am interested in that it is one of few double-digit gainers this month. In another fashion, the company has an interesting business. I may not have much company in thinking something akin to sexy: switches, relays, specialty industrial lighting, power distribution equipment, air duct systems,...

Several reports indicate that for all the dire news and dreadful scenarios, the recent stock crash came from one trader, or rather trying to fix what that one did.
