Trulia: Home <b>Buying</b> Goes <b>Online</b> | <b>Stocks</b> | Minyanville's Wall Street

Taking advantage of the growing online trend, Trulia (NYSE:TRLA) connects home buyers with real estate agents via the company's marketplace websites. And business is booming.

Marketplace revenue, which consists of premium subscriptions for real estate agents, made up 70% of Trulia's total revenue in the first quarter. What's more, this revenue source was up 100% year over year in the most recent quarter.


What's in it for the agents? They can get on the site for free to establish a profile and contribute content, but paying for a premium subscription allows them to promote their listings in Trulia's search results and target mobile users, resulting in higher-quality leads.
The balance of Trulia's revenue comes from advertising, which is driven by traffic. During the first quarter, ad sales rose 91%, as users ballooned 51% to 31.4 million unique monthly users.


Trulia's biggest difference, versus competitors like Zillow (NASDAQ:Z) and Redfin, is likely its user-generated content.


The company currently has the largest database of real estate-related, user-generated content in the business, which helps its Web site generate higher traffic and generally attracts more buy-ready customers.


Whatever the reason, Trulia is growing rapidly, and while the company is still small compared to traditional real estate players, it has big potential. Earnings will be out July 31.


Technically, TRLA went public right when the market was peaking in September last year, and then plunged from $26 to $15. Following a short basing period, TRLA rocketed to an all-time high of $38 before retreating sharply to support at its 50-day moving average.


TRLA looked to breakout following its Q1 earnings report in May, but the strength was short lived, and the stock spent the next several weeks grinding sideways.


The situation changed once again at the beginning of July, with TRLA reclaiming its 50-day trendline and soaring past former resistance near $35.


The shares are now taking a breather, consolidating above $35, and their 10-day moving average is a bit overextended, so buy on dips.

Malaysian <b>stocks</b> to stay bullish, driven by steady <b>buying</b> <b>...</b>


KUCHING: On the back of steady buying support, the Malaysian bourse is expected to show resilience despite facing stiff headwinds ahead.


While immediate upside movements may be gradual, its downside risk on the other hand will likely be fairly limited too noted analyst Goh Yin Foo of HwangDBS Vickers Research Sdn Bhd.


“This was actually what happened last week when the bellwether was caught within a 22.2-point range before closing at 1,776.56 on Friday, barely budged from the preceding week’s closing of 1,776.16.


“A mixed performance, nevertheless, was registered by the FTSE Bursa Malaysia 70 (FBM 70) Index, the FBM Small Cap Index  and the FBM ACE Index.


Daily average trading volume stood at 1.8 billion shares valued at RM1.7 billion, compared with the preceding week’s 2.1 billion units worth RM1.8 billion,” noted Goh.


The analyst further explained that essentially, investors were just mulling over their next course of action while waiting for fresh market leads to surface.


Overseas, the spotlight is on how long more the partial shutdown of the US government arising from failed budget talks would drag on, which in turn might cast a shadow on the impending negotiations by the lawmakers from both sides of the political divide to raise the US debt ceiling.


There may also be interest in the minutes of the US Federal Open Market Committee meeting held on September 17 to 18 – to be released this Wednesday – detailing the decision process of the policymakers in deferring their plan to start the tapering of quantitative easing measures.


On the home front, Goh pointed out that, on tap are just sporadic news flows for investors to chew on in the week ahead.


Routine macro reports to watch out for include the index of industrial production for August and the September plantation statistics (both due on Thursday).


Aside from that, the commencement of gold futures trading on the derivatives market effective yesterday may draw interest from selected market players.


On a positive note, foreign selling of Malaysian equities has stopped (at least for now), says Goh.


“According to the data released by the stock exchange last week, foreigners turned net buyers on our local bourse with a marginal amount of US$0.2 billion (RM0.7 billion) in September, thus snapping a three-month net foreign selling streak of an aggregate sum of US$3.3 billion between June and August,” the analyst added.


Meanwhile, the weekly foreign trading pattern showed continuous net outflows of US$150 million in Thailand last week, US$117 million in Indonesia and US$647 million in Philippine.


“From a technical perspective, the FBM Kuala Lumpur Composite Index (FBM KLCI) will probably remain in an oscillating pattern following a false breakout from a negative sloping trend line (in red on chart overleaf) two and a half weeks ago.


“As bargain-hunters appear eager to step in when selling pressures intensify, our local bourse performance may still be resilient going forward, with the FBM KLCI’s downside risk to be cushioned by our first support line at 1,750.


“While its immediate upside is presently being kept in check by a lack of buying catalysts, beyond the short-term lull, a breakaway from the psychological threshold of 1,800 could propel the benchmark index to challenge its all-time high of 1,826.22 in due course.”

UBS Retail <b>Stocks</b> to <b>Buy</b>, Focus Is <b>Online</b> Sales Leaders - Best <b>Buy</b> <b>...</b>

The two main reasons people argue for online sales tax is they say that it is unfair to the bricks-and-mortar companies, and it will raise more tax revenue. In the view of UBS A.G. (NYSE: UBS) e-commerce will be more of a friend than a foe for most of the hardline retailers over the next several years. Importantly, these retailers are currently generating significant amounts of Web traffic that they have the opportunity to capitalize on.

The recent UBS report on who is winning the online sales war gives investors a good look at which companies are taking advantage of the growing consumer acceptance of online purchasing. Here is a list of the current industry leaders among the best positioned to harness growth in the e-commerce channel over the next few years.

Williams-Sonoma Inc. (NYSE: WSM) leads all companies in online sales per unique visitor. A recent R.W. Baird report indicated Williams-Sonoma is capable of out-analyzing brick-and-mortar competition and out-merchandise online competition, which will result in share gains as the housing recovery unfolds. The Thomson/First Call price target for the stock is at $55.50. Investors are paid a 2.2% dividend.

Best Buy Co. Inc. (NYSE: BBY) has had its share of issues in the past year, but the company is a strong second in online sales. The company recently inked a deal with Samsung to build specialty, dedicated shops within larger Best Buy stores. The consensus price target for the stock is $29.50. Investors receive a 2.5% dividend.

O’Reilly Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ: ORLY) recently hit a 52-week high and has been on fire. It also ranks third in the UBS online sales report. The company recently announced a $300 million senior note offering to finance repurchases of shares of common stock, repayment of debt and to invest in other business opportunities, including acquisitions, and to pay related fees and expenses. The consensus price target for the stock is $115.

Dick’s Sporting Goods Inc. (NYSE: DKS) is the up and comer at UBS. Analysts think the company is among the best positioned to harness growth in the e-commerce channel over the next few years. The consensus price objective for this widely owned name is $59. Investors are paid a 1.0% dividend.

Lowe’s Companies Inc. (NYSE: LOW) has been a large benefactor of the current housing boom. The company has also made a $205 million offer to struggling California hardware chain Orchard Supply Hardware Stores Corp. (NASDAQ: OSH). The consensus price target is at $46. Investors receive a 1.7% dividend.

Autozone Inc. (NYSE: AZO) has been one of the hottest stocks over the past three years. It also comes in as one of the top 10 online retailers as well. The company announced last week it is buying back up to $750 million worth of stock. The consensus price target is at $460.

Home Depot Inc. (NYSE: HD) is another stock like its competition that has received solid sales gains from the housing recovery. Insiders also have been purchasing the stock, even at current higher trading levels. The consensus price target for the home improvement giant is $85.50. Shareholders are paid a 2.0% dividend.

HHGregg Inc. (NYSE: HGG) is a small cap name that makes the grade at UBS. This lesser known name is a specialty retailer of home appliances, televisions, computers, consumer electronics, mattresses and related services. It operates 228 stores primarily in the Midwest and southern United States. The consensus price objective for the stock is $14, which is below its current trading level.

The UBS team looked at each companies’ online sales per unique Web visitor to assess the efficiency of hardline retailers in capitalizing on Web traffic to drive sales. The names for investors to remember are the ones in our story that are driving the highest amount of online sales per unique visitor. The consumer who does not want to drive to the mall or store can still be a viable part of sales growth online for these leading names.

Goldman Sees Some Coal <b>Stocks</b> Worth <b>Buying</b> - <b>Stocks</b> To Watch <b>...</b>

Goldman Sachs has started seeing coal stocks as a Buy. But they are being very picky in their selections.

In a note published Friday, Goldman analysts Neil Mehta and Vinit Joshi issued a mix of outlooks for the batter coal sector, among them Buy ratings on CONSOL Energy (CNX) and SunCoke Energy (SXC) and a Sell on Arch Coal (ACI).

Plagued by falling commodity prices, weak volumes and government regulations, few industries have suffered the kind of punishment that coal stocks have seen in 2013. Shares have risen since July on improving confidence. Still, at $19.22, the Market Vectors Coal ETF (KOL) sits almost 24% below where it traded on Dec. 31.

But Mehta and Joshi are “neutral” on the industry, and suggest that investors avoid pure play coal name. They do suggest looking for “sum-of-the-parts” stories and names with strong balance sheets. They write:

The coal sector continues to face challenges including coal plant retirements, high net debt levels and commodity prices below historical averages. But we see some reasons for optimism, including the bottoming of met coal prices, YTD underperformance versus the S&P500 of 44% and some strong company-specific ideas, namely CNX and SXC.

As for specific stocks, the Goldman analysts issued five ratings changes:

Upgrade CONSOL Energy to Buy given strong production growth at its E&P segment, improving cash flow from the coal business and potential for asset sales/restructuring to help realize its SOTP value.Downgrade Arch Coal to Sell due to high leverage, peak valuations and low free cash flow levels.Neutral Ratings on Cloud Peal Energy (CLD), Alpha Natural Resources (ANR) and Walt Energy (WLT): Goldman downgrade Cloud to a Neutral given a lower production outlook and a reduced PRB price forecast. The firm upgraded Alpha and Walt to Neutral from Sell, predicting that met coal prices have bottomed.

Arch Coal has fallen 5.7% to day to $4.26, followed by Cloud Pearl, down 3.4% to $14.68, and a 3% drop by Walt Energy to $14.10. Alpha Natural dropped 2.8% to $6.10. And CONSOL fell 0.9% to $33.46.

<b>Purchasing</b> Penny <b>Stocks Online</b> | Dr <b>Stock</b> Trader

                           Buy penny stock shares


Penny stocks are small priced shares that can be easily bought and sold online. They are also called cent stocks because of the low price tag. According to the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations, the price of a penny stock share should not exceed five dollars. They are popular but thinly traded over the counter stocks with a promise of great returns.


The SEC and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) are the regulatory authorities for penny stock trading. No securities registered on the National Stock Exchange can be traded as penny stocks. In other words, even if the current market price of a registered share is below the five-dollar mark, it cannot be treated as a penny stock.


You can use any of the penny stock trader websites to purchase them.


How to purchase penny stocks online


Be cautious when you are investing in penny stocks online. Never get lured by all the huge return promises. These stocks are very prone to fluctuations. Never fall for any ‘pump and dump’ schemes. These are penny stocks marketed with huge hype to drive up the prices just to boost the seller’s profit.

You can go to Etrade.com, which is a reputed electronic trading platform for investors. The site offers many other financial services like banking, mutual funds, credit cards, etc.Open an Etrade account to start online trading. Use the order ticket and click on the ‘Stocks’ option. The online selling and buying of the penny stocks are similar to that of the exchange-traded funds. However, the penny stocks are mainly traded over the counter. This means you cannot place a market order like the one you place when you are trading in shares.                                       Penny stock trading online

Type the correct penny stock name used for online trading on your limit order. This will be a character-string at least four characters long. Decide on a ask price for your purchase. Do some research on the company and find out the quoted rate for their penny stock. If your ask price is accepted, you will receive a confirmation.Similarly, you can place the penny stock for sale with a bid price. The difference, called spread, determines your profit. If you are not prudent, you could end up with a loss.

The penny stock trader websites offer an easy platform for you to do the trades. Before making the trade, do the necessary research on the companies and ignore most of the recommendations that you see online.
