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.

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.

Click here to see how much more you could be earning on your savings today. It takes just a few minutes and your money could be working for you.
