IIC's Winners Watchlists

[IIC]

I decided to maybe make the IIC 100 a weekly thing instead of a
monthly thing since it takes all of 2 mins to run the scan...Only 19
appear in both this week:

IIC 100 in order:

HANS HOM KNDL ASF GMXR IRIS RWC AQNT BCSI DXPE SWN CTHR ARD SKE NTG
BABY PLLL GOOG TRAD UPL MCX SKYW RES VDSI QSII CRDN LUFK BTU SPSS

Gonna track these for a week or two from Friday's closing price and see how they perform.

Doug,
Also bought HOM after slight dip.Actually it was close to a 10% dip. Since earnings report is over I think we're safe for a few months. Are you putting a stop on yours?

Nasdaq to let firms clip tickers

Nasdaq, the world's largest electronic stock exchange, will allow companies to trim the number of letters in their ticker symbols from four to as few as one starting in January 2007.

Since the Nasdaq was founded in 1971, the marketplace has used four-letter symbols. Under the new plan, Microsoft, which now trades as "MSFT," could conceivably adopt the symbol "M." In comparison, most companies trading on the New York Stock Exchange are listed under two- and three-letter symbols, while 21 companies, including Ford (F), Kellogg (K) and Citigroup (C), are identified by a single letter.

Nasdaq is responding to a request by the Securities and Exchange Commission that exchanges agree on a uniform approach to distributing ticker symbols. The reason for the switch is to protect U.S. markets in case of a disaster or national emergency, said Bethany Sherman, a Nasdaq spokeswoman.

A more standardized symbol system would help Nasdaq back up the NYSE and American Stock Exchange should they be prevented from conducting business. Nasdaq has the capability to host all 6,700 publicly traded U.S. securities and unlike competitors, doesn't depend on a brick-and-mortar location to host trading.


Previous Next "We're the backbone of the capital markets," Sherman said.

Another reason for the switch is to allow companies to jump to a different exchange without worrying about losing their ticker symbols. In an e-mail to the stock-trading community, Nasdaq said symbols should be transferable to a competing market.

Adopting a new symbol format will likely impact electronic data-feed and data-capture systems used by brokerages and trading houses. For that reason, Nasdaq is giving itself and customers a year to correct any glitches before implementing the plan.

Don't understand why the number of letters in the ticker symbol would effect a company "jumping to a different exchange".... Just change the rules to.... "Any tickers allowed to trade here in the case of an emergency" and allow the jump reguardless of the number of letters in the ticker symbol.... Sheesh!.... These guys have a couple of programmers on staff I dooo suspect.... duh?.... Wall Street types!... No common sense.... PLUS, I don't wanna re-learn 8,000+ tickers, took me a while to memorize them all as it was.

WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)--Consumer prices rose modestly in October as energy prices fell for the first time in four months, and the core rate of inflation met expectations.

The Consumer Price Index rose a seasonally adjusted 0.2% last month, after jumping 1.2% in September, the Labor Department said Wednesday. The gain was the most restrained performance in the gauge since prices were flat in June.

The closely watched core index, which excludes volatile food and energy items, rose 0.2%, after inching up 0.1% in September. That gain was the biggest since March's 0.4% climb.

The median estimate of 19 economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires and CNBC was for a flat overall CPI reading and a 0.2% increase in the core during October.

The Federal Reserve lifted its key interest rate by a quarter-percentage point Nov. 1, the twelth such hike since mid-2004 to prevent runaway inflation. Bringing the federal funds rate up to 4.0%, policymakers cited rising energy prices in a statement suggesting another possible rate increase at their next meeting Dec. 13. The U.S. economy sped up in the third quarter despite Hurricane Katrina and energy prices, running at a 3.8% annual rate July through September.

A Labor report Tuesday said wholesale inflation rose 0.7% in October, driven by higher natural gas and electricity costs. The Producer Price Index also showed accelerating prices for goods deep in the production pipeline. Raw material costs rose 6.7% in October, after growing 10.2% in September. Economists, however, say companies are having difficulty passing the higher costs they must bear onto consumers, whose incomes are growing modestly and energy bills have climbed.

Wednesday's CPI showed energy prices fell 0.2% in October after leaping by 12.0% in September. The last time energy dropped was a 0.5% fall in June. Natural gas accelerated 14.0% last month - the largest gain since January 2001, when prices went up 16.7%. Gasoline fell 4.5% - the biggest drop since July 2004's 5.0%. Electricity rose 0.7% and fuel oil slipped 0.4%.

Housing prices, which account for nearly 41% of the index, rose 0.9%, after rising 0.4% in September.

Food prices advanced 0.3% a second consecutive month. Costs for beef and pork went up, but poultry dropped. Fruits and vegetables climbed.

Medical-care prices increased by 0.5%, after going up 0.3%.

Transportation prices fell 1.3%. New vehicle prices were up 0.5%. Airline fares advanced by 1.5%.

Clothing prices slipped 0.4%. Recreation prices rose 0.2%. Education and communication costs dipped 0.1%.

Year over year since October 2004, consumer prices were up 4.3% on an unadjusted basis. The core index rose 2.1% in that time.

In a separate report, the Labor Department said average weekly earnings of U.S. workers, adjusted for inflation, advanced by 0.4% in October. There was a 0.5% climb in average hourly earnings. Average weekly hours were flat. The CPI for urban wage earners and clerical workers went up by 0.1%.
