The top day trader and active trader alerts seen this Monday are not so much just on earnings as we have seen for the last month.  There are still many stocks on the move this Monday, and the top movers we are tracking are as follows: DigitalGlobe, Inc. (NYSE: DGI), Hewlett-Packard Company (NYSE: HPQ), Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: LSCC), LJ International Inc. (NASDAQ: JADE), McDonald’s Corp. (NYSE: MCD), Repros Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: RPRX), Skilled Healthcare Group, Inc. (NYSE: SKH), Superior Well Services Inc. (NASDAQ: SWSI), and YRC Worldwide Inc. (NASDAQ: YRCW).  We have listed the news and the move on each and added in colow where appropriate.

DigitalGlobe, Inc. (NYSE: DGI) is surging on its news that it entered into a $3.55 billion agreement with NGA effective September 1, 2010 upon expiration of its NextView agreement.  Shares are moving up 10% at $30.61 on this but trading volume remains limited.  The 52-week range is $18.05 to $29.10, so count this as a 52-week high.

Hewlett-Packard Company (NYSE: HPQ) is up or down depending upon where you really peg the Friday close.  We had $46 as the prior close but other quote services counted teh 10+% after-hours drop on Friday.  You know the news with Mark Hurd out as Chairman and CEO.  Shares are around $43.25 after a $41.85 exit price in the after-hours Friday.  There have already been over 6 million shares traded this morning.

Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: LSCC) announced that its CEO was leaving to pursue another opportunity.  Shares are trading down over 5% at $5.15 but trading volume is rather thin.

McDonald’s Corp. (NYSE: MCD) is hard to EVER imagine as a top day trader stock, but the alerts are on as its same-store sales rose 7%.  This is also now at a 52-week high.  Shares are up 0.9% at $72.36 on about 55,000 shares and the prior 52-week range was $53.88 to $71.84.

Skilled Healthcare Group, Inc. (NYSE: SKH) is trading up sharply after teh company seeks a new trial in a damages verdict.  Jefferies raised the rating to BUY as well based on its chances of getting it reversed.  Shares are up 22% at $3.05 on over 30,000 shares.  Teh 52-week trading range here is $1.43 to $9.36.
