Closing Bell: Bulls Taking Control Again? (KKD, BP, ARMH, AAPL, APWR, TRMA)


Today's market might have been sparked by jobs if you read around the web, but Chinese export gains and overseas market gains coupled with a Euro recovery probably added more fuel to the buying fire than anything.

Here were today's unofficial closing bell levels:

Dow 10,172.53 +273.28 (2.76%)
S&P 500 1,086.84 +31.15 (2.95%)
Nasdaq 2,218.71 +59.86 (2.77%)

Top Analyst Calls
Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Inc. (KKD) was up over 8% at $3.68 late in trading day after Roth Capital started the company with a buy rating and a near-double price target.

BP (BP) gained today after the company discounted yesterday's mega-drop. An S&P Equity Research downgrade also mattered little, particularly as it is very late in the game. BP shares were up over 10% at $32.32 in the final minutes of the trading session.

ARM Holdings plc (ARMH) was up on re-rumors that Apple Inc. (AAPL) may be interested in acquiring the mobile processor company. Shares were up 5% at $12.30 in te final minutes of the day, but shares were up over $13.00 briefly this morning before D.A. Davidson downgraded the stock. Apple shares were up 3% at $250.54 right before the closing bell.

A-Power Energy Generation (APWR) was on of the top trader alerts this morning after it raised its annual forecast. Shares were up over 22% at $9.04 right before the close.

Trico Marine Services Inc. (TRMA) looked like its ticker abbreviation "trauma" and it led the loser-board today after disclosing that it might be unable to make an interest payment. Shares were down a whopping 44% at $0.68 right before the closing bell.
