Navistar International Corp. (NYSE: NAV) is trading higher today after some of yesterday’s big trading losses, but a research note is likely going to weigh on the shares even if it is from a small research firm. A firm called Barrington Research has lowered its rating to Market Perform from Outperform based upon the headwinds and upon a loss in the quarter that will create a long-term dig out from its engine strategy. Barrington referred to the transition period as a painful one.

Navistar shares have traded in a 52-week range of $20.07 to $48.18, and shares were down as low as $21.53 Friday morning. Investors need to be advised here that the 52-week low is just from Thursday.

As of 10:55 AM EST, we have Navistar shares up by some 4.3% at $22.37 on the day.

Are You Still Paying With a Debit Card?

The average American spends $17,274 on debit cards a year, and it’s a HUGE mistake. First, debit cards don’t have the same fraud protections as credit cards. Once your money is gone, it’s gone. But more importantly you can actually get something back from this spending every time you swipe.

Issuers are handing out wild bonuses right now. With some you can earn up to 5% back on every purchase. That’s like getting a 5% discount on everything you buy!

Our top pick is kind of hard to imagine. Not only does it pay up to 5% back, it also includes a $200 cash back reward in the first six months, a 0% intro APR, and…. $0 annual fee. It’s quite literally free money for any one that uses a card regularly. Click here to learn more!
