Best
Penny Stocks |
The best penny stocks are about companies with
promising business outlooks. These are corporations
that are committed to becoming strong competitors
within their respective industries, increasing sales,
developing new competitive products and constantly
watching the bottom line. Essentially, these are
companies that are focused on building shareholder
value. Penny stocks tend to be issued by young companies
looking to expand their operations or develop their
products.
The best penny stocks are shares of corporations
that have the potential to generate substantial
returns. Penny stocks are defined as shares that
trade less than $5. The penny stocks with the most
promise tend to be those that trade below $0.30.
Once a good penny stock story is uncovered, multiple
investor buy orders will push up the share price.

| What Are Small Cap Stocks? |
|
| The meanings of "big cap"
and "small cap" are generally understood by
their names: big-cap stocks are shares of larger companies
and small-cap stocks are shares of smaller companies.
Labels like these, however, are often misleading. If
you don't realize how big "small-cap" stocks
have become, you'll miss some good investment opportunities.
Small-cap stocks are often cited as good investments
due to their low valuations and potential to grow
into big-cap stocks, but the definition of small cap
has changed over time. What was considered a big-cap
stock in 1980 is a small-cap stock today. This article
will define the "caps" and provide additional
information that will help investors understand terms
that are often taken for granted. |

Stock falls on weak jobs report, Wal-Mart sales |
Wall Street retreated Thursday after weekly unemployment claims jumped to a six-year high and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and other retailers reported disappointing sales, touching off renewed fears that a pullback in consumer spending will damage the economy. The Dow Jones industrials fell about 120 points.
The Labor Department said the number of newly laid off people seeking jobless benefits increased by a seasonally adjusted 7,000 to 455,000 last week, the highest level since late March 2002. Wall Street had expected new claims to rise to around 430,000.
Wal-Mart, the world's largest retailer, said same-store sales, or stores open at least one year, rose 3 percent in July as consumers began using up their government stimulus checks. Analysts who follow the important measure of a retailer's health had expected a 3.4 percent rise, on average.
Financial stocks also lost ground after insurer American International Group Inc. reported that it lost more than $5 billion in the second quarter. The stock was by far the steepest decliner among the 30 that make up the Dow industrials.
