SHAW pulled back on concerns of a potential nuclear permitting moratorium spilling over into their plant construction business.


This could actually be a very good play for someone who has the time to follow all of this moratorium news and then make an informed decision before the market does.

I've been on vacation so am just now getting caught up on all of this recent news. Here's some I've found:

They were one of only about 30 companies who came up on my screen for stocks which have gapped down by at least 10 % in recent days.

Add some uranium names to your screen if you want to see real pain.

Why are Gold and Silver taking a hit today? Those are usually inverse of the market and normally trend up during turmoil (Japan/Libya/Saudi).

Fed keeps rates low

quote:

The Fed kept its easy-money policies intact as markets reeled from a series of global shocks that could upset a firming U.S. recovery.

The Fed noted a strong rise in international commodity prices was putting upward pressure on prices. But officials said that, while they would monitor the evolution of inflation closely, they expect the effects of higher oil prices to be transitory. There was no direct mention of developments in Japan.

No surprise there. That's why I didn't understand RSBR's "comes to the rescue" comment....like there was some new policy being announced.

The market has been ticking up ever since then. Not sure of the actual effect, but worthy of note, I guess.

100% of economist surveyed by BB this week predicted no change in Fed policy and every retail investor w/ any semblance of a brain knew there would be no change so I doubt the market is reacting to the release IMO.

I'm thinking the move up has more to do with it being the middle of the night in Japan now so no new Chicken Little announcements are being reported in the media.

I wish I had enough money to substantially benefit off of a 1% move or less.

I hope.
That is why my parents made me go to college. Now, I'm headed off to law school in the fall. Hopefully this debt I will soon encounter will be well worth it.


I bet that 1/2 % was more than I made today at my mediocre job, .
