Wall Street zoomed higher January, with the blue chips posting their best January performance on a percent basis in 15 years, as fears over Europe's debt crisis cooled and traders cheered generally upbeat economic data and earnings reports.
The Dow jumped 3.4%, the S&P 500 rallied 4.4% and the Nasdaq soared 8%. Broader market averages had comparatively strong Januaries as well as the Dow: the S&P had its best percent performance since 1997, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq did its best since 2001.

Pfizer Inc (PFE: 21.58, +0.10, +0.47%) reported sharply lower quarterly earnings, hurt by generic forms of its Lipitor cholesterol drug, and the company trimmed its 2012 forecasts due to negative effects of the stronger dollar.
http://www.foxbusiness.com/industries/2012/01/31/pfizer-4q-results-top-street-view/
The world's biggest drugmaker said on Tuesday it earned $1.44 billion, or 19 cents per share, in the fourth quarter. That compared with $2.89 billion, or 36 cents per share, in the year-ago period.
Excluding special items, Pfizer earned 50 cents per share. Analysts, on average, expected 47 cents per share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S. Pfizer said results in the recent quarter appeared so unfavorable largely because a big tax benefit seen in the year-ago period did not recur.
Company revenue in the recent quarter fell 4 percent to $16.75 billion, but was a bit higher than Wall Street expectations of $16.61 billion.

Have you guys considered expanding the work here - let's say make the board an ETF featured board along with the 'Dogs'?
iHub needs that.
I am too silly busy to do that.
Well so much for the worry about TNCC doing ok today. That RSI thing was the question of the day on HOSS TRACKZ. Bottom of the iBox:

I am liking the gaps. I kope we see another huge one today!
GOOOO TNCC
No problem. A .27 close was very important to show the consolidation is continuing. You can see all the next legs up... I have them memorized. LOL
Thanks for that. I haven't done the DD so I can't gauge the technicals against them.
Nothing but a gapper here IMO. This bar chart cheat sheet is right on. Check it out poem!
http://barchart.com/cheatsheet.php?sym=TNCC
Loving TNCC today. Get ready for the launch tomorrow and Friday!
Would be great to see the ol' DOTD kicking. Always thought this board was the right thing to have on iHub.
Looking good here. Have some fun!
LOL. good luck Joe!

I like to get the new divy plays as well. TNCC is gonna be mover. I have short term sell orders set allready!
I am not sure where it is going to level out at! Good short or long term IMO.I am keeping most of my shares for the long term. Taking a little profit and holding the rest.
Here is a cheat sheet for resistance and pivot points. It opens up after .95! WOW!
http://barchart.com/cheatsheet.php?sym=TNCC
Likewise GoArmy123!!! I'm going to go take a look at TNCC. I meant to send you a message the other day regarding you being added. I know exactly what you mean by the board is looking good over here!!!
It's pretty cool to see Biomanbaba posting over here, I've been following THLD for quite some time and he's definitely a true asset that definitely knows what he's doing.
"The Dogs of the Dow" is an excellent idea from "PoemStone" and it's an honor to be apart of it. I plan on paying close attention to everything over here seeing it's a great board for someone like myself that's continually looking for great long term investments that I don't need to pay attention to everyday.
Joe
Thank you for the mark!
Welcome aboard Joe! I have been busy DDing TNCC. The Board is lookin good over here!

WallStreetDaily. (Dividends). "Be An Investor, Not a Trader":
Yes, there’s a difference. The allure of dividend stocks is the steady stream of income they provide. And, as I’ve shown before, dividends account for a whopping 90% of total returns. However, to reap such rewards we need to invest for the long haul. (If we select properly – i.e., buy only the highest quality companies that have a history of raising their dividends each year – we might never have to sell shares.) So if you don’t plan to own a dividend stock for at least a year, don’t bother.

Office Depot (NYSE: ODP ) [Motley Fool] "1 Stock to Sell by February."
On the surface, Staples and Office Depot have similar office-supply-and-services-slinging business models -- both surprisingly place on the list of top 10 Internet retailers, both rely heavily on the business-to-business market, and both have a significant international presence.
But as any football coach will tell you, it all comes down to execution.
While Staples has been growing sales (granted, with the help of the Corporate Express acquisition a few years ago), Office Depot has shrunk sales by 26% since 2007. While Staples has maintained healthy earnings and cash flows throughout the tough economic times, Office Depot hasn't had the virtuous combination of positive earnings and positive free cash flow since 2006. While Staples covers its interest by a factor of eight, Office Depot is at less than two. And, of course, that leaves no room for Office Depot to pay a dividend.
Staples is clearly the better company here. Let's also not forget that Office Max (NYSE: OMX ) , though highly levered, is doing better than Office Depot operationally as well.
Now, the danger for Office Depot bears like me is that its stock is so beaten down (it's trading at well less than 10% of the market cap of Staples) that if its turnaround plans come to fruition, we could see a tremendous upside.
But hoping and wishing and praying for a third-in-class specialty retailer to suddenly start turning the tide on its proven direct competitors and Wal-Mart, Target, Costco, Amazon, et al. in an iffy economy is a pure gamble.
Do yourself a favor and avoid Office Depot. Look into Staples instead

WallStreetJournal: Right Kind of Dividend Makes a Difference
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203436904577153081551645496.html?mod=ITP_moneyandinvesting_0
Dividends still pay.
Sure, it isn't the most original idea in the world. Dividend-focused investment strategies, in fact, have become so popular lately that contrarians worry the trade is now too crowded. But it isn't. Investors can still do well in 2012 by betting on big, dividend-paying companies amid a volatile environment. Indeed, these payers were often the difference between making or losing money on the S&P 500 last year.
The S&P 500 index finished 2011 slightly in the red, but its total return, including dividends, came to 2.1%. This isn't unusual; except during sharp rebound years, market returns are typically driven by dividend-payers. The total return for dividend stocks has topped nonpaying stocks every year since 2000 except for 2003 and 2009, according to S&P. And the gains that dividend-focused investors might have missed in those years are partly offset by their shallower losses during steep market selloffs.
Given where we are in the current market cycle, with the strong rebound year of 2009 past, it would be highly unusual for dividend-payers to lag behind the market this year. Investors should also keep the power of compounding in mind: $10,000 invested in nondividend-paying stocks in 1979 would be worth about $250,000 as of 2010. The same amount put into dividend-paying stocks—and continually reinvested—would have returned $413,600, notes S&P's Howard Silverblatt.
Reuters
the S&P 500 index finished 2011 slightly in the red, but its total return, including dividends, came to 2.1%. Traders work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange on Tuesday.
On top of this, companies are likely to ratchet up their payouts this year, continuing a trend from 2011. Corporate cash levels are near all-time highs, after all, and as BofA Merrill Lynch points out, the S&P 500's current payout ratio is hovering at all-time lows.
Montreal-based brokerage Brockhouse Cooper expects that partly for this reason, the S&P 500's dividend yield over the next few years will rebound to 2.7% from its current 2.2%. While still low by historical standards, that handily tops the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasurys, which is less than 2%.
Still, investors should go after the right kind of dividend. Fat yields can be a sign of heightened risk. Grocery chain Supervalu, for example, sports a 4.3% payout—but is also expected to report its 15th consecutive quarter of same-store sales declines on Wednesday. That is why Gluskin Sheff economist David Rosenberg emphasizes SIRP, or, safety and income at a reasonable price. Better SIRP than sorry, one might say.

Mornin' Dogs! Boardmark to ya!
This is a great idea for a board PoemStone, I was just looking into a company that offered a great dividend the other day too. I guess you leave me no choice but to go and find it again and share it with the board. Marked!!!
