U.S. Stocks Head Toward Higher Open
Monday April 16, 7:56 am ET
By Madlen Read, AP Business Writer
U.S. Stocks Head Toward Higher Open Ahead of Retail Sales Data, Citigroup Earnings
NEW YORK (AP) -- Stocks pointed toward a higher open Monday as investors awaited the government's March retail sales report and Citigroup's first-quarter earnings.
Analysts expect the Commerce Department's data to show that consumers spent strongly last month, sending retail sales up by about 0.4 percent following a a feeble 0.1 percent rise in February.
Investors are also watching for first-quarter results from Citigroup, which is forecast to release earnings of $1.08 a share, and rival bank Wachovia Corp.
With earnings reports now coming out in earnest, nearly half the component companies of the Dow Jones industrial average release earnings this week. Investors anticipate they will indicate that corporate growth cooled in the first three months of 2007 compared to previous quarters. Standard & Poor's recent estimate of first-quarter earnings growth for S&P 500 companies is 3.8 percent.
Ahead of Monday's market opening, Dow futures expiring in June rose 25.00, or 0.20 percent, to 12,698.00. Standard & Poor's 500 index futures rose 3.10, or 0.21 percent, to 1,464.40, and Nasdaq 100 futures rose 6.00, or 0.33 percent, to 1,837.75.
So far Monday, Mattel Inc. and Eli Lilly & Co. showed profits slipping in the latest quarter.
Mattel, the world's largest toy maker, said its first-quarter profit slipped 60 percent as the year-ago period benefited from a hefty settlement, but the results beat Wall Street's expectations.
Drug maker Eli Lilly & Co. released first-quarter financial results that showed a drop in profit that missed expectations. However, the company reported a rise in revenue, and raised its full-year sales and earnings guidance.
But investors appeared fairly optimistic about the health of U.S. corporations after late Sunday, when Google Inc. and Clear Channel Communications Inc. announced a long-term agreement to let the Internet search company place advertising for its online customers on more than 675 Clear Channel radio stations.
The market was also cheered by reports that Sallie Mae is a takeover target. Education lender Sallie Mae agreed to be sold to two private-investment funds and J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. and Bank of America Corp. for $25 billion, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Oil prices resumed their climb Monday, with a barrel of light sweet crude rising 48 cents to $64.11 in premarket trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Gold was higher, while the dollar was mixed.
OT: Did Nowak get TI?
ORLANDO, Fla. - A police search of former astronaut Lisa Nowak's car turned up bondage photos on a computer disk, British currency and pills, according to documents released Tuesday by prosecutors.
A judge last week agreed to unseal some of the documents in the Nowak's case. She is accused of trying to kidnap a rival for a space shuttle pilot's affections.
Nearly all of the 16 images found on the disk depicted bondage scenes, according to a forensic examination report by the Orlando Police Department. Some of the images showed a nude woman while others were drawings.
The documents did not make clear whether Nowak was the woman in the photos or who the disks belonged to.
Also found were nearly $600, 41 British pounds and four brown paper towels with 69 orange pills. State law enforcement are testing the pills to determine what they are, authorities said.
Investigators also examined two USB drives found in the car that contained family pictures, digital movies and NASA related materials.
They concluded that information found on the disk or the two USB drives did not have any direct evidence related to the attempted kidnapping, the report said.
Nowak's attorney, Donald Lykkebak, declined to comment Tuesday on the newly released documents.
Nowak was arrested in February after police say she drove from Houston to Florida to confront Air Force Capt. Colleen Shipman. Authorities have said Nowak had an affair with Shipman's boyfriend, Bill Oefelein. She pepper-sprayed Shipman through a partially lowered car window, an arrest affidavit said.
Police said they found a BB gun, new steel mallet, a knife and rubber tubing in Nowak's possession. Nowak, 43, pleaded not guilty to attempted kidnapping, burglary with assault and battery. NASA released Nowak from the astronaut corps a month after her arrest. Her trial has been moved to September.
Ford doing well, getting some nice channels going for swings.
Thanks SA. Been busy here with spring chores.
I like how CSTJ is holding it's gains. Can you throw me up a chart SA?
Probably, I will say though, I did some DD today. All three websites are indeed registered by a Joerg Dobisch. After some digging it seems like this guy has been playing this angle with car sales for at least two years now.
As always, buyer beware in the OTC.
re: RCAU and MN1
When Good Friday goes Bad
Posted on Friday, April 06 @ 16:00:08 CDT
By Bolton Flautt
MN1 Staff Writer
DALLAS, TX (April 6, 2007) -- This was supposed to be Good Friday, but instead it has turned out to be a giant mess of miscommunication. I had planned on coming in, working part of the day and heading home to watch The Masters. Not so much, thanks to a new press release issued by AutoTrader.com.
This press release was issued to refute the relationship between CompleteAuto, the wholly owned subsidiary of Rocket City Automotive Group (Pink Sheets: RCAU), and AutoTrader.com. Market News First (MN1) published an article yesterday focusing on Rocket City’s recent press release and stock price activity. These press releases were issued over the past two weeks claiming relationships with many big names in the automotive retailing industry.
One of those big names came from a press release issued by Rocket City on Wednesday, April 4, 2007. This name, as you can surely guess, was AutoTrader.com. In the press release, the company says, “It has completed software modifications necessary to allow their dealers to list directly on AutoTrader.com. Available immediately, dealers can begin implementing the CompleteAuto software to list vehicles for sale online at AutoTrader.com.”
MN1 confirmed several of the relationships claimed by Rocket City including the AutoTrader.com relationship by contacting a spokesperson from AutoTrader.com.
As mentioned earlier, AutoTrader.com issued a press release today refuting the relationship with CompleteAuto and stating that MN1 had “erroneously” confirmed the relationship between CompleteAuto and AutoTrader.com. The article states, “A subsequent story Friday, April 6, posted on the Market News First (MN1) website erroneously reported an AutoTrader.com spokesperson confirmed a relationship with CompleteAuto.”
MN1 was contacted today by the same spokesperson from AutoTrader.com saying that there was some miscommunication about their relationship with Rocket City/CompleteAuto and would like to have MN1 issue a retraction.
It is such a shame – with all the advancements in technology and communication these days – when things aren’t “properly communicated” between one party and another. MN1 always attempts to seek out the truth and lay everything on the table so investors can make the right decisions based on the right information.
Best of luck to both AutoTrader.com and Rocket City in 2007, it’s time to go watch The Masters.
Isn't Complete Auto the same company that was going to merge with ECFL? The below was posted on CitronResearch (old Stock Lemon).
Is Rocket City Taking Investors for a Ride ? (RCAU.pk)
Citron Research warns about blatant promotion
Let us start off by saying we feel stupid even discussing the financials of this company, as it is nothing more than a vigorously orchestrated stock promotion. For anyone who remembers, this one is, in its own way, as ludicrous as Conversion Solutions (CSHD.pk) was before the SEC halted it.Nevertheless, we feel obligated to our readers to at least describe this melodrama, at least until regulators come a’calling.
Without ever filing any financials publicly or even a 15c211, the company has now announced that they are looking to jump exchanges. Currently on a breathless 3-a-day PR pace, it has of course filed not a single document with the SEC so far. You have to sympathize, its pretty tough getting a 10-K together when you’re spending $1,400 a month on accounting. Even the share count, which we believe to be in excess of 211 million, is listed as “TBD”.
The Company
The only glimpse we have into the real financials of the company is a business plan that is being distributed by Charlie Garcia, investor relations. This plan was written by CEO Jeff Roman and it shows a company that loses money on miniscule revenues. It shows a first quarter 2006 loss (as of March 20) of 92,951.30, as their revenues have come in only about 60% of their projection in the same document.
Happy Birthday SA!
Its just people buying up more of the dilution at .0002 and weary holders dumping every once in awhile at .0001, and that sums up AXGJ this week.
Not me, been a slow day here.
Must be nice, I get fired whenever I leave.
Nice move, down to 4.2 billion.
I noticed you were using it with stockfetcher. SA and BB have all the juice with Stockcharts, get them to do it.
I would like to have bought some options on HOG
AMD just had to go lower didn't it
Thanks Simple, I was reading about IFT after you and SA were talking about it.

I do know Dell started offering AMD processors in PCs late last year which was a boost for AMD.
$10 drop in 4 months, would be nice to catch it as it rides back up.
Toyota's U.S. Sales Jump 11.7 Percent, While GM, Ford and DaimlerChrysler Decline
DETROIT (AP) -- The best monthly sales performance ever for Toyota and gains by fellow Japanese automakers Honda and Nissan helped the industry in March top last year's best month for U.S. sales despite declines by GM, Ford and DaimlerChrysler.
Toyota's U.S. sales jumped 11.7 percent in March compared with a year ago, boosted by record hybrid sales and strong overall car sales. Industrywide, light vehicle sales by major automakers rose 0.8 percent to 1.54 million, Autodata Corp. said Tuesday.
The overall rise in U.S. sales came despite GM and DaimlerChrysler's sales falling about 4 percent each, and Ford posting a 9 percent drop. Ford still held off Toyota for the No. 2 U.S. sales spot for the month, and Ford regained from GM the claim to having the nation's top-selling pickup truck, even though F-series sales fell 15.1 percent.
The numbers come as the Detroit Three have seen Asian rivals led by Toyota capture growing shares of the U.S. market. Autodata's figures show GM, the world's largest automaker, had 22.4 percent of the U.S. market in March, with Ford holding 17.1 percent and Toyota with 15.7 percent. Still, GM and Ford said sales of their newer vehicles generally improved.
Jesse Toprak, chief economist for the Edmunds.com auto Web site, said the Japanese automakers will continue to prop up the broader sales picture. At year's end, he estimates GM's share at 24 percent, Toyota's at 17 percent and Ford's at 15 percent.
"The trend for the rest of the year will continue, but the growth for Toyota will slow down somewhat," Toprak said.
In all, Toyota Motor Corp. sold 242,675 Toyota and Lexus vehicles in the U.S., including 140,009 cars, up 19.4 percent from the same month a year ago, and 102,666 trucks, a 2.7 percent increase. So far this year, Toyota has sold 61,635 hybrids in the U.S., up 68 percent from the first three months of last year. That includes 28,453 hybrids last month.
"This month marks a milestone eight years in the making," Jim Lentz, executive vice president of Toyota's U.S. division, said in a statement. "Record U.S. sales of Toyota and Lexus hybrids have now topped the half-million mark."
Toyota's previous best sales month was last July, when it sold 241,826 vehicles in the U.S.
Detroit-based General Motors Corp., which saw its fleet sales drop for the month as it works to cut low-profit sales to rental car companies, sold 345,418 light vehicles, including 136,866 cars, up 2.3 percent, and 208,552 trucks, down 7.7 percent.
GM said sales of its Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks, GMC Acadia crossover and Saturn Outlook sport utility vehicle were exceeding its expectations. Paul Ballew, GM's executive director of global market and industry analysis, said the results highlighted a strong start for its crossovers, including the Acadia.
"We have new product that's being accepted in the marketplace," Ballew said in conference call with industry analysts and reporters.
Ford Motor Co.'s sales of 263,684 light vehicles included 174,200 trucks, down 5.9 percent from the same month a year ago, and 89,484 cars, down 14.6 percent. The drop comes as Dearborn-based Ford also works to reduce fleet sales. Ford, however, said its new midsize cars -- including the Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan and Lincoln MKZ -- and its new Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX crossovers sold well.
"We remain committed to offering more of the products that our customers really want, and the popularity of our new cars and crossovers is proof we're delivering," Mark Fields, Ford's president of the Americas, said in a statement.
Ford's sales include Ford, Lincoln and Mercury brands, as well as Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo.
DaimlerChrysler AG sold 228,047 vehicles in the U.S. last month. Its Chrysler Group's passenger vehicle sales, which include the Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge brands, fell 4.6 percent to 206,435. Mercedes sales rose 1 percent to a March record of 21,612. Chrysler Group said it sold 52,625 cars in March, down 2.6 percent from a year ago, and 153,810 trucks, down 5.3 percent.
The figures come a day before DaimlerChrysler's shareholders meet in Germany amid intense speculation about a possible sale of the Chrysler division. Prospects for Chrysler have been a hot topic since DaimlerChrysler Chief Executive Dieter Zetsche first publicly floated the idea in February. Chrysler says the speculation didn't hurt sales.
At Ford, sales of the Fusion were up 47.5 percent to 15,790 from a year ago. But sales of F-series pickup trucks dropped to 71,481. Ford said the increasing availability of the 2008 Super Duty should help future F-series performance.
"Overall it was a good month except in one respect -- when we compare it to a year ago," George Pipas, Ford's top sales analyst, said in conference call.
Analysts predict that Toyota will continue to make gains this year and likely will knock Ford off its traditional No. 2 spot in U.S. sales for the full year.
In February's sales, Ford's claim to having the nation's top-selling pickup truck ended with the Silverado knocking it out of first place for the first time in 20 months. In March, GM sold 55,626 Silverados, down 8.6 percent from a year ago. Sales of Chrysler's Dodge Ram pickup, which at five years old is aging, were down 1.1 percent to 38,301.
Toyota's Tundra sold 13,196 in March, up 11.8 percent from a year ago. The redesigned Tundra -- Toyota's first true full-size truck -- is a sign of Toyota's ambitions in a lucrative sector dominated by American automakers.
American Honda Motor Co., which includes Honda and Acura brands, said it's on track for another record U.S. sales year. It sold 143,392 light vehicles last month, up 11.3 percent. Like Toyota, it said it had gains in hybrid sales, but it credited the overall increase to public perception about fuel-efficiency across its line.
Nissan North America Inc., which includes Nissan and Infiniti, sold 111,119 vehicles last month, up 7.8 percent from March 2006.
Industrywide, Toyota has been gaining market share in the U.S., riding on the success of cars such as the Camry, widely seen as reliable and fuel-efficient, while the Detroit Three of GM, Ford and Chrysler have worked to turn around their North American operations. Last month, Toyota's surging car sales were led by Camry, which rose 8.4 percent to 42,254.
Incentive spending by automakers was on the rise in March compared with last month, according to data released Tuesday by Edmunds.com. It estimates that the average automaker's incentive in the U.S. was $2,512 per vehicle, up $220, or 9.6 percent, from February and down $9, or 0.4 percent, from March 2006.
The Associated Press reports unadjusted sales figures, calculating the percentage change in the total number of vehicles sold in one month compared with the same month a year earlier. Some automakers report percentages adjusted for sales days, which last month was 28 and in March 2006 was 27.
GM shares rose 64 cents to close at $31.47 on the New York Stock Exchange, while Ford shares fell 1 cent to $8.08. Toyota's U.S. shares rose 2 cents to $126.98 on the NYSE, while DaimlerChrysler's U.S. shares fell $1.07 to $82.95.
