Micron Wins Anti-Trust Case, Stock Soars Higher

Happy days are here again for all those holding shares of Micron (MU). The stock has been hanging around the $5 range for months, with the overhang of the antitrust case weighing down on it. Now, after a jury said Micron didn't manipulate prices of dynamic random access memory chips, the stock can get back to its winning ways and out of the trading range. After the winning verdict the stock shot up 23%, most likely on a short squeeze, but it most likely can start to move in a positive direction again with the case resolved.

Jon Najarian’s Gutsy MF Global Trade

CNBC's Fast Money regular and co-founder of OptionMonster.com, Jon Najarian, made a very gutsy trade in MF Global today. The stock was said to be on the verge of complete collapse when he stepped in to make the trade. Talk about buying stocks when there's blood on the streets, this was one of those cases. After a poor earnings release due to weaker-than-expected trading revenue and fears about the company's exposure to European debt (rumored to be upwards of $6 billion), the stock plummeted. Yes, the entire market cap for the company wasn't even worth $1 billion a few days

Apple’s Stock Hits $400 a Share Afterhours!

Reuters Pictures Apple is a monster of a stock that you just can't doubt, even in these troubled times where unemployment is over 9%, the European Union is in a crisis, and the United States is on shaky ground with its own debt worries. As we've said before, people will buy iPads, iPhones and Macs even if they can't pay for their mortgage, or so it seems. In truth, Apple is just taking share from a load of companies.  Everyone is buying Apple products and not much else it seems. And yes, down below, where it says Apple has $76 billion

The Anatomy of Cramer’s Call on Petrohawk (HK)

Jim Cramer is bashed plenty, most famously by Jon Stewart, but Cramer also knows how to pick stocks from time to time. It's just that he picks so many of them on a day to day basis, with a high degree of enthusiasm, that one is hard pressed to take his word as gospel. And there are just too many unknown factors that come into play, especially in today's market. At times, we're worried Cramer might explode at some point on Stop Trading he gets so jacked up. Yet that's what we love about Cramer,

Yippy’s (YIPI) Stock Soars

Never heard of Yippy (YIPI)? Yeah, me either. But this little stock, it was worth just 20 cents a month ago, has skyrocketed today, as it's up over 123%, more than doubling after InfoSpace and Yippy announced they are entering a formal long-term partnership agreement for cost per click ads. What is this company Yippy, though? Yeah, that's what I was wondering. Turns out Yippy is the 'world's fastest, family friendly educational search engine and web portal'. Who knew. I only thought, as far as search engines, there was Google, Bing, and maybe Ask.com. I guess

This is your chance, time to GET OUT quick Barnes & Noble stock holders.  The stock has popped after hours nearly 25%, as shorts are probably getting squeezed, right now the stock sits at $17.60.  If you're a shareholder of BKS your prayers have been answered - and just before the world is supposed to end on May 21st. Sure, the stores look nice and pretty and it's fun to skim through books at their stores and then go buy them on Amazon.  That is understandable. But, their business model is dead. They are just not going to be able to

Microsoft Buys Nothing (Skype) for 8.5 Billion

The news from around the web is that Microsoft made another blunder in their efforts to catch up with Google, Facebook and Apple with the purchase of Skype. And most of the blame is falling on Steve Ballmer - one Yahoo Finance message boarder calling him the 'emBallmer', perhaps as in putting the once powerful Microsoft into the grave with his repeated mistakes as CEO. The purchase of Skype, at 8.5 billion, yes billion, is the biggest purchase Microsoft has made in their history. "thanks emBallmer! i will start using google talk now! i've been using skype for 4
