In a week in which retail sales took a backseat only to jobs reports, Urban Outfitters (NASDAQ: URBN) moved higher by 12.7% as Morgan Stanley said the stock was undervalued.

Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) continued to show that gravity does not exist, at least for it. Share rose over 9% to an all-time high of $297.35. The stock has a 52-week low of $95.33. Netflix plans to conquer Latin America’s streaming content world as it has already done in the US.

Abercrombie & Fitch (NYSE: ANF), Target (NYSE: TGT), and Kohl’s (NYSE: KSS) were all helped by strong June retail results.

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.
