TGIF! It’s Senorita’s Hot Stock Roundup! MNEL, ATRN, BPAX, MOTR, and MVIS
Happy Friday everyone!
I just wanted to give everyone a quick Friday update on a few of the hottest stocks of the week.
Mission NewEnergy (Nasdaq: MNEL) which was alerted yesterday PRE-market was an all you could buy buffet of shares at .82, and boy did this sucker start retracing hard. After what seemed like a pretty boring morning with some decent volume and buying pressure, someone unleashed the Krakken on the shorts and had them chasing to cover and it hit a power hour high of $ 1.15 for some lip smack-a-r00 gains upwards of 40%!
***New support for MNEL comes in at $ 1, and resistance lies ahead at $ 1.40, but there is also a gap that could get filled from the $ 1.42 – $ 1.50 areas, and this low floater might just squeeze some more shorts and take this up towards the 50 DMA which lies ahead at $ 2.40. $ 2.25 is the key area to break for MNEL if it’s going for the 50 yard line.***
Atrinsic, Inc. (Pink: ATRN) Everyone’s favorite pink that keeps on giving seems to have momentarily stopped giving due to a delay in their web crawler Atrinsic Spyder. The company has assured investors that Spyder is definitely a go and there’s just a glitch in the Matrix that needs to be solved. Even the largest companies have delays in product launches so it’s not entirely unexpected or a “scam” as some are saying haha.
***Support for ATRN comes in at .05 with a lower level support of .045, resistance lies ahead at .075, and the 50 DMA of .083.***
A Stock I Wrote About is up 67% in Less than a Month…
My loss is your gain. Less than a month ago, I told readers about the potentially strong upturn in place for carbon fiber maker Zoltek (Nasdaq: ZOLT).
Thanks to a just-released quarterly report, shares are now up a heady 67% from where I recommended them. And that's in just one month! I didn't add the stock to my $ 100,000 Real-Money Portfolio, awaiting a better entry point that never arrived. Hopefully, you were able to get in the action and have been able to secure a tidy gain.
Here's the odd part. This stock still has a lot more upside. After myriad false starts, this company is finally getting its act together.
Stock Market Story: Feb. 3
NEW YORK (TheStreet) — Stocks popped at Friday’s open as investors welcomed an upside surprise in how many jobs the economy added last month.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 108 points, or 0.9%, at 12,813. The S&P 500 was up 13 points, or 1%, at 1,338. The Nasdaq was up 28 points, or 1%, at 2,888.
The Bureau of Labor statistics announced Friday morning that the U.S. economy added 243,000 jobs in January to push the unemployment rate down to 8.3%, the lowest level since February 2009. Economists had expected the addition of 150,000 new jobs last month, and for the unemployment rate to remain unchanged at 8.5%.

Every Investor Should Consider Owning This “Forever” Stock
Investors can very easily get caught up in quarterly earnings reports, rejoicing when their stocks report good results and second-guessing their picks when things go awry. It's important to remember, though, that investing is a long-term endeavor and that quarterly outcomes are far less important than how a stock performs for longer periods — several years, five years, a decade… and beyond.
Companies that persevere and nicely reward shareholders for many decades are known at StreetAuthority as "Forever Stocks." Sure, these stocks may have their ups and downs, but in my experience, Forever Stocks are usually worth holding, well, forever.
3M Co. (NYSE: MMM) is one of my favorite Forever Stocks.
The Largest Stock in the World is Soaring
It’s up 113% in the past two years…

Stay Away From This Popular Oil Stock
Check out some numbers on one of the most widely owned energy stocks in the market and see what you think.
For starters, shares of this $ 37 billion oil and gas producer have been seemingly unstoppable, delivering annual returns of more than 16% for the past 10 years. During that time, the company also posted annual growth rates of 19% for revenue, cash flow, dividends and book value and 23% for earnings per share (EPS). Return on equity (ROE) stands at 17%, nearly twice the industry average of 9%, and the operating margin is just north of 46%, compared with the industry rate of 27%. The company churned out more than 730,000 barrels of oil equivalent (boe) per day in 2011, and analysts expect it to produce nearly 780,000 barrels per day in 2012.
Sounds like a real keeper, doesn't it? All six of the analysts who cover the stock say it is.
Warning: Don’t Buy This Popular Stock
