Dow Breaks 11,000 Briefly

Posted by admin On April - 10 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

The Dow Jones Industrial Average crossed above the 11000 level for the first time in 18 months—albeit for a few brief moments—marking another key milestone in what has been one of the strongest stock-market rebounds in history.

While the threshold has prompted less fanfare than when the Dow recaptured 10000 in October, it represents another big accomplishment for a measure that was below 7000 a year ago.

The Dow broke 11000 briefly in the last minutes of trade—hitting a high of 11000.98—before ending at 10997, up 70.28 points.

Bed Bath and Beyond (NASDAQ: BBBY) said Wednesday night (post-close) that fourth-quarter earnings rose 56% year over year to 86 cents per share, easily trumping analysts’ expectations of 73 cents.

Looking forward, BBBY officials said they expect earnings to grow 10%-15% in fiscal year 2011. So it is clear that the American consumer is continuing to spend (at least on towels, kitchen supplies, and candles).

Cardionet stock rises on upgrade

Posted by admin On April - 7 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

Shares of CardioNet Inc., which have lost two-thirds of their value in the last year, advanced Tuesday after an analyst upgraded the heart device maker’s stock.
Matt Dolan of Roth Capital Partners said reimbursement rates for procedures using CardioNet’s wireless heart-monitoring devices should remain steady or increase after being slashed by 33 percent last year. That could give a significant boost to the company’s revenue, and patient volume growth is strong, he said. Dolan upgraded the stock to “Buy” from “Hold.”
