Today's Market Winners and Losers

Stocks are up Tuesday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up 0.39%, the Nasdaq up 0.36% and the S&P 500 up 0.35%. Tuesday’s sole winner is in correction, while today’s losers include an energy company lowering its third-quarter guidance and a struggling retailer knocked from a S&P index.

These are Tuesday’s biggest winner and losers.

Biggest Winner

Shares of Peregrine Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: PPHM) are up 18.11% $1.37 on trading volume of 8.6 million shares. The stock is likely in correction after shares lost the vast majority of their value Monday after the company announced it threw out the results of a lung cancer study due to “major discrepancies” in the way the study was carried out. The 52-week high is $5.50.

Biggest Losers

Shares of Key Energy Services Inc. (NYSE: KEG) are down 10.61% to $7.28 on trading volume of 2.9 million shares. The company revised its third-quarter financial guidance, noting that consolidated revenue is expected to decline 4% to 5%, while operating income margins are expected to decline 250 to 350 basis points.  The 52-week low is $6.52.

Shares of RadioShack Corp. (NYSE: RSH) are down 8.99% to $2.79 on trading volume of 1.5 million shares. The company is being dropped from the S&P MidCap 400 and being replaced by Lexmark International Inc. (NYSE: LXK). The 52-week low is $2.36.

Are You Still Paying With a Debit Card?

The average American spends $17,274 on debit cards a year, and it’s a HUGE mistake. First, debit cards don’t have the same fraud protections as credit cards. Once your money is gone, it’s gone. But more importantly you can actually get something back from this spending every time you swipe.

Issuers are handing out wild bonuses right now. With some you can earn up to 5% back on every purchase. That’s like getting a 5% discount on everything you buy!

Our top pick is kind of hard to imagine. Not only does it pay up to 5% back, it also includes a $200 cash back reward in the first six months, a 0% intro APR, and…. $0 annual fee. It’s quite literally free money for any one that uses a card regularly. Click here to learn more!
