Direxion's Emerging Markets ETF (EDC) 
is up more than 7% this morning. Five P&P members rate it a buy, and this morning's trading confirms their call.
Stronger yet is GT Solar International, (SOLR) climbing nearly 9% at the open. Investors are excited about the $84 million in orders that GT announced for its new sapphire crystallization systems for high brightness LEDs.
THQ Inc, (THQI) tops all five stars, with an 11.8% gain this morning. The early shopping season numbers on videogames looks very encouraging, and potentially profitable.

Mack the Knife is selling builder KB Home (KBH). "With U.S. home prices behaving like so many warm pennies dropped in snow, a KB Home trade on the short side once again is irresistible."

InTheMoneyStocks looks at the Euro's impact on commodities.
"The European Central Bank announced that they will start buying bonds from distressed nations. In other words the ECB will be following the Federal Reserve Bank's quantitative easing approach. This news is the catalyst for the large stock market bounce in Europe and the United States.
When the Euro currency is higher that only means one thing. The U.S. Dollar Index must be lower. As the U.S.Dollar declines the rest of the markets inflate higher. Just about every asset class is trading higher. Oil, copper, iron ore, steel, cotton, are just a few commodities that are up.
Should the U.S. Dollar Index catch a bid the commodity complex could pull back off the highs. Right now the inflation rally looks to be pretty strong. However, should the Euro begin to decline, this rally could be halted." Read more...

MightyMo thinks Netflix (NFLX) still has room to run.
Back on Nov 17, in my blog post recommending 7 stocks affectionately and mockingly called 'Pigs on Parade', Netflix was priced between 170-173. Since that time. a 25 POINT MOVE in a few days isn't bad for those that bought in.
If you 'missed the move', you still can make some money on Netflix. The current momentum is most likely to drive the stock past 200. Nothing goes straight up but at some immediate and short time in the future, this stock will pass 200 easily.
If you worried that you might be buying at the high, consider this, Netflix has hit 21 new highs in the last three months, 9 new highs in the last month, and 51 new highs year to date. Read more...
