52_week_low_image Today was an interesting ride in the 52-week low club after we have seen very volatile markets. While oil fell $1.00 and while the S&P, NASDAQ, and DJIA were up most of the day, there were plenty of stocks gracing the 52-week lows:

Akeena Solar, Inc. (AKNS)… down in sympathy with others, more speculative name in solar.

American Electric Power (AEP)… becoming habitual.
CompuCredit Corp. (CCRT) down over 10% more after another post-earnings sell-off.
Edison International (EIX) making another appearance.
General Growth Properties (GGP) making another appearance.
LSI Industries (LYTS) killed on earnings and warning.
Power Medical Interventions, Inc. (PMII) very poor earnings.
Spreadtrum Communications (SPRD) lost 1/4 of its price on poor earnings. The silly company name doesn’t help.

The Average American Is Losing Their Savings Every Day (Sponsor)

If you’re like many Americans and keep your money ‘safe’ in a checking or savings account, think again. The average yield on a savings account is a paltry .4% today, and inflation is much higher. Checking accounts are even worse.

Every day you don’t move to a high-yield savings account that beats inflation, you lose more and more value.

But there is good news. To win qualified customers, some accounts are paying 9-10x this national average. That’s an incredible way to keep your money safe, and get paid at the same time. Our top pick for high yield savings accounts includes other one time cash bonuses, and is FDIC insured.
