(NASDAQ: AMZN), ARM Holdings plc (NASDAQ: ARMH), Athenahealth, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATHN), E*TRADE Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: ETFC), Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F), LM Ericsson Telephone Co. (NASDAQ: ERIC), QLogic Corporation (NASDAQ: QLGC), Quicksilver Resources Inc.

Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) is down over 11% on active trading.

ARM Holdings plc (NASDAQ: ARMH) is a huge winner this morning after Microsoft licensed its architecture. Shares/ADRs up over 10% in fairly active trading.

Athenahealth, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATHN) is still on the road to recovery.  Earnings were down but above estimates.  We have seen Baird raise its rating as well.  Shares are up 9% at $24.05 on only about 22,000 shares.

Citigroup, Inc. (NYSE: C) is down this morning by 1.5% at $4.03, but the volume is off the charts at close to 20 million right at 9:00 on word that the US Treasury will immediately sell $1.5 billion in shares.

E*TRADE Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: ETFC) may finally be on the path to redemption after its reverse split.  Last night the company reported its first profit in about 3-years, back to the day when it had all those silly mortgages for clients.  Shares are up 9.3% at $14.59 versus a new adjusted 52-week trading range of $11.15 to $20.80.  Before the split this would have been millions of shares, but so far we have only seen about 40,000 shares trade hands.

Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) is up again as America’s only non-bailout auto-maker reported earnings were at a six-year high.  This is the most active or one o fthe most active in pre-market trading.  Shares are up 5% at $12.70 on over 4.3 million shares.

LM Ericsson Telephone Co. (NASDAQ: ERIC) is trading down 6% at $11.40 on over 300,000 shares pre-market after earnings missed estimates.

QLogic Corporation (NASDAQ: QLGC) is getting slapped after its profit report beat estimates but there were issues on the revenue side.  Shares are down 11% at $16.77, but the trading volume so far is very thin.

Quicksilver Resources Inc. (NYSE: KWK) is one of the top gainers this morning after it announced a $1 billion sale of 100% of its interests in Quicksilver Gas Services.  The market cap here was only $2.17 billion.  Shares are up almost 17% at $14.90 on about 230,000 shares.

SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK) is down but off lows after the earnings significant beat patterns may be peaking.  The big news is the CEO departure.  Shares are down 5.2% at $40.89 on almost 200,000 shares.

Credit Card Companies Are Doing Something Nuts

Credit card companies are at war. The biggest issuers are handing out free rewards and benefits to win the best customers.

It’s possible to find cards paying unlimited 1.5%, 2%, and even more today. That’s free money for qualified borrowers, and the type of thing that would be crazy to pass up. Those rewards can add up to thousands of dollars every year in free money, and include other benefits as well.

We’ve assembled some of the best credit cards for users today.  Don’t miss these offers because they won’t be this good forever.

 

Flywheel Publishing has partnered with CardRatings for our coverage of credit card products. Flywheel Publishing and CardRatings may receive a commission from card issuers.
