Stocks Mixed On Huge Earnings Day

U.S. stocks traded mixed on Tuesday as one of the busiest days of the earnings season got under way.

The S&P 500 fell 0.1 percent, with consumer discretionary leading decliners. The Nasdaq composite held around breakeven.

More than 90 companies were scheduled to post quarterly results on Tuesday. Dow components 3M, Caterpillar and DuPont reported earnings before the bell.

Russell Microcap Stock Index

The one-day chart for Thursday, September 11 shows the reversal of losses in Small Cap and Micro Cap stocks which continued and led U.S. stocks higher.

Gains on Wall Street were led by small-cap stocks on Thursday. Trading was choppy, as an unexpected increase in weekly jobless claims and lower commodities prices encouraged investors to remain cautious.

“I think tomorrow will be focused on economic data unless something happens overnight,” Mark Luschini, CIO at Janney Montgomery Scott, said. “In general there’s the sense the market is wandering a bit and struggling to find a connection to it.

Low oil prices helped transports gain and helped stocks turn positive.

Next week, investors will turn their focus to the Federal Reserve meeting and other events.

“The market is in a quiet phase ahead of the Fed next week and the Scotland, UK vote,” Peter Boockvar, Market Analyst at The Lindsey Group. “The market’s just very reactive, not proactive, which makes it hard to trade.”

Penny Stock DigiPath Skyrockets; Management Issues Press Release

DigiPath LogoDigiPath, Inc. (OTCBB and OTCQB: DIGP), a digital pathology solution provider that is expanding into the cannabis testing and education markets, announced today there has been no material development in its business and affairs not previously disclosed or, to its knowledge, any other reason to account for the recent unusual market action.

“We have noticed unusual price and volume increases for our securities over the last three trading days,” said Steve Barbee, CEO of DigiPath. “While we appreciate the increased attention DigiPath is receiving from the market, we are unaware of any corporate developments outside of those previously disclosed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission that would explain these increases.”

The stock closed at $0.51 on Friday, July 25 but after opening at $0.55 on Monday, July 28, it traded as high as $6.00 per share and finally closed at $2.50. That day, it traded over 400,000 shares but averages less than 20,000 shares traded daily (previous 3 months).

We have not yet seen any websites or newsletters that have pumped the stock; and seen nothing more than message boards and traders taking advantage.

This again highlights the need to follow only unbiased penny stock picks and penny stock newsletters as most are either paid to pick a stock or own shares and are actually selling when telling you to buy!
