Use Intraday Price Levels to Trade Facebook (FB)
It’s Facebook (http://facebook.com) (FB) IPO day! The buzz has been building, now it’s time to play ball. The IPO was priced at $ 38, which values the company at more than $ 100 billion. The stock will almost definitely open for trading higher than that, though, so we will have to gauge prudent levels to get involved. I see it opening up above $ 50, honestly. Below that, and I think it is a buy. I’ll be trading the IPO live on the Virtual Trading Floor(R), and I feel that trading IPOs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initial_public_offering) is one of my biggest strengths as a trader. So if you aren’t a member of the VTF I think this would be a good day to join us! Aside…

JPMorgan Could Rebound To $40 By 2013
By Income Hunter:
Unless you have been on another planet for the past few days, you could not have missed reading about the derivatives fiasco at JPMorgan Chase (JPM). Despite extensive coverage, we don’t have a clear understanding of what happened and the ramifications for JPMorgan as well as the banking system as a whole. The bank has disclosed a loss of $ 2 billion on complex derivatives trading strategies that went wrong.
Unlike the trading losses recently at UBS (UBS) and Societe Generale (SCGLY.PK) caused by rogue traders who then manipulated the accounts to hide what they were doing, whatever happened at JPMorgan seems to have happened with the full concurrence of top management, which seemed to have placed too much reliance on their internal controls. In fact, this follows a situation only two years ago when derivative trading went out of control in the bank’ s commodities division – specifically a short
Wall Street Is Having a Dividend Party
Over the past few years, corporate America has generated trillions of dollars in excess cash and parked that money in the bank (or, at the very least, Treasury bonds and other cash equivalents). Companies ranging from technology giants to conglomerates have hoarded their liquidity, terrified of a repeat of the Great Recession of 2008.
Lately, it seems like every Board of Directors on Wall Street has finally decided to finally release some of the coins that have been piling up in the treasury. How are they doing it? By announcing large dividend increases. Johnson & Johnson announced its 50th consecutive annual dividend increase, bumping the payout to investors by 7%. ExxonMobil recently announced a staggering quarterly dividend increase of 21%, making for a rich payday if you happen to hold a considerable amount of the oil and natural gas giant’s shares. Chevron announced an 11% rise in its dividend. IBM raised its quarterly dividend by 13%. The list goes on and on … it is a dividend party and stockholders who were buying during the crash that reached a bottom in March of 2009 are reaping the benefits.
If your focus is on passive income with a specialty in dividend stocks, the first four months of the year have been off to a great start.

3 Reasons To Buy Hess Shares On This Major Drop
By Trade In Mexico:
Hess Corporation (HES) shares recently hit a new 52-week low, thanks to plunging oil and stock prices. The markets have dropped almost every day for about 10 days in a row, taking oil stocks like Hess down with it. Unless the world is headed for a depression, the stock is now very undervalued. More likely, investors are depressed after seeing highly negative headlines, and when investors are overly pessimistic, it’s often a great time to buy beaten-down stocks. Here are 3 reasons to consider buying Hess shares on this pullback:
1. Hess is involved in refining, storage terminal operations, energy marketing and retail. It is also involved in oil and gas exploration and production around the world in locations like Ghana, Libya, Columbia, China, Brunei, France, Australia and other countries. This range of geographical and operational diversity reduces risks for the company and its shareholders.
2. Insiders have been taking
You Make 80% of Your Money 20% of the Time–and This is Not My 20%
The market remains in correction (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_trend) mode, but it has been difficult to look for a bottom based on the intraday action. When trying to find tradable bottoms, you look for momentum and capitulation to the downside, not a grind down like we have seen. That means you should take extra caution in both directions, not looking to take big positions without conviction.The Pareto 80-20 Principle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_principle) will tell you that you make 80% of your money 20% of the time, and based on my skill set, this is not part of that 20% of the time. I am scaling back my trades and waiting for better opportunities to be aggressive. We are oversold, but not extremely oversold, so I…
