3 High-Yield Stocks Under $10 Paying Over 10%: MCC, EROC, EXP

There is a lot of appeal for low priced stocks to individual investors. Just from a feel good point of view, it can be more satisfying to buy 500 shares of a $10 stock than 66 shares of a $75 per share stock, even if your outlay is pretty much the same. Besides the satisfaction of owning a lot of shares, there are some valid total-return focused reasons for investors to seek out low priced stocks. (more)

Stocks To Watch: SGMO, DGLY, BBRY, IBIO, CA, MEIP, GALE

( click to enlarge )

Sangamo Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:SGMO) Today's close on high volume confirms a trend change from downward to neutral. Will watch to see if it can break this horizontal resistance line. Technical indicators are showing signs of turning around. Over $16.20 would be buy trigger.

Digital Ally, Inc. (NASDAQ:DGLY) could be in the early stages of a technical breakout (falling wedge pattern on daily). If the stock can break through 13.50 tomorrow, I expect to see heavy volume drive the stock higher.

BlackBerry Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) After consolidating sideways the last few days with an upward bias, the stock broke out upwards today accompanied by a volume surge. Looks good for higher prices.

Ibio Inc (NYSEMKT:IBIO) Volume starts to pick up again. Could make a nice move to the upside. MACD lines are going up. Keep this one on your watch list. A break of $1.12 with force might give IBIO room to $1.31.

CA, Inc. (NASDAQ:CA) looks like it is getting ready to move. It has a good base at $31 which can be used as a stop loss for long position. On the upper side, the move is likely to accelerate above $32.50. Long setup.

MEI Pharma Inc (NASDAQ:MEIP) rebounded from the support line located at $2.05 and closed the day near the highs, gaining 4.8% on the session. I'm watching the stock to breakout the resistance level at $2.44. The technical indicators still indicate a bullish tone in short-term.

I think Galena Biopharma Inc (NASDAQ:GALE) stock has found a nice bottom here and it looks poised to post a rally from current levels. The Slow Stochastic just produced a new buy signal. I would watch for a breakout over the $1.46-1.48 region.

kingworldnews.com / April 23, 2015
Today the man who remarkably predicted the collapse of the euro against the Swiss franc warned King World News that the world is in for another major surprise.
Egon von Greyerz:  “There is clearly apathy in the gold market now.  Gold has essentially gone sideways for the last couple of years.  Gold was at these levels in June of 2013.  So for two years gold has been trading sideways with some volatility….

1-year chart of Chart (NASDAQ: GTLS)
GTLS declined rapidly last summer and fall all the way down to it’s January low. The stock has since rallied more than 50 percent. Over the lat 6 months the $40 price level (blue) has become somewhat important to the stock. Not only was $40 a key support in October, as well as resistance in March and April, but that level has also been a recent support for the GTLS here as of late.

The Tale of the Tape: GTLS has a key level at $40. A trader could enter a long position on a pullback down to $40 with a stop placed under the level. However, if the stock were to break back below $40, a short trade could be made instead.

Ambev S.A. (NYSE: ABEV) Under $7 Stock Just Pennies Away From a Breakout

There are always themes underlying the stock market. Earlier in the year it was biotechnology. Then oil services offered nice gains.

When we can combine two themes, we can often multiply their benefits, and right now that is what I see with consumer staples stocks and Latin America.

At first glance, the consumer staples sector appears flat and is slightly lagging the broader market so far in 2015. But beneath the surface, the Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR ETF (NYSE: XLP) is enjoying solid demand.  (more)

The J.M. Smucker Co. (NYSE: SJM) This 'Recession-Proof' Stock Could Deliver 35% Gains

What kind of companies can you count on to generate value, even when the rest of the market is in a slump?
If history is any guide, then one class of stocks consistently enjoys solid demand from consumers. In fact, this sector is considered by many to be full of great "rainy day stocks."
The sector in question: consumer non-discretionaries, otherwise known as consumer staples.
Here's just one example of their resilience. Between January 1, 2007 and January 1, 2010, the S&P 500 plummeted, returning negative 21% over that period. In contrast, one of these stocks -- which I'll describe shortly -- went up 51%. (more)

The Put/Call Ratio of Open Interest on S&P 100 (OEX) Options Has Never Been More Bearish

We have mentioned the put/call ratio of open interest on S&P 100 (OEX) options a handful of times over the past 6 months or so. The reason is that this historically “smart money” indicator has been flashing warning signs off and on during that period. On March 3, we posted our most recent update on the indicator as it was on an unprecedented string of bearish readings. The stock market peaked simultaneously and has drifted sideways in the 6 or 7 weeks since. The bearish OEX put/call readings have not relented, however. In fact, the bearishness has accelerated. Even so, we had not intended to dedicate another post to this indicator so as not to be redundant. However, the readings over the last few days warrant an update as they have become extreme. (more)
