The 52-Week Low Club (May 18, 2007)

Despite day after day of the "New DJIA High" headlines some companies keep going the opposite direction and put in new 52-week lows.  This little piggy went to market…..

Atherogenics (AGIX)…. Keeps drifting lower. $140 million implied cash on the books, but negative liquidity with the debt.  Maybe it’s easier to be in the parachute business.

CalAmp (CAMP).. Customer issues hurting earnings results, and shareholders.

Gaming Partners (GPIC)… Not all casino suppliers are doing well, even if the company customers are.

Healthcare Realty (HR)… This is and was surprising.  Now you have to wonder if that 8% divdend is going to be real.

JDS Uniphase (JDSU)… Dark fiber, is it 2000 all over again?

JAPAN SMALLER CAP FUND (JOF)… this was surprising, even though we usually leave funds off the list.

Shoe Pavilion (SHOE)… must have Digger selling the shoes or it must be smelly feet.

Sonic Solutions (SNIC).. lower revenues, a Roth downgrade, and breaking the sound barrier the way the test pilots did before Chuck Yeager made it.

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!
