52-Week Low Club (CCJ, CVI, EIX, MDR, SSRI, ZINC)

52_week_low_imageThe drop in commodities isn’t good for everyone apparently.  Many metals stocks are on the list today, as are others. Here is a partial list of some semi-active stocks hitting 52-week lows today:

  • Cameco (NYSE: CCJ) continued uranium weakness after its Cigar Lake troubles persist… and persist… and persist…
  • CVR Energy (NYSE: CVI)… energy and fertilizer, recent IPO, so long for the fun times; becoming one of the worse performing post-IPO’s over the last year.

  • Edison International (NYSE: EIX)… becoming habitual to see power generation companies
  • McDermott (NYSE: MDR) after naming new CEO; stock back above lows but hit new 52-week lows this morning.
  • Silver Standard Resources Inc. (NASDAQ: SSRI), one of the many speculative metals plays on the list
  • Horsehead Holdings (NASDAQ: ZINC), again… it’s hard not to give this one at least two nicknames.

Is Your Money Earning the Best Possible Rate? (Sponsor)

Let’s face it: If your money is just sitting in a checking account, you’re losing value every single day. With most checking accounts offering little to no interest, the cash you worked so hard to save is gradually being eroded by inflation.

However, by moving that money into a high-yield savings account, you can put your cash to work, growing steadily with little to no effort on your part. In just a few clicks, you can set up a high-yield savings account and start earning interest immediately.

There are plenty of reputable banks and online platforms that offer competitive rates, and many of them come with zero fees and no minimum balance requirements. Click here to see if you’re earning the best possible rate on your money!
