INTC

Intel (INTC - 90-11/16) is rallying on the heels of an upgrade by a major brokerage firm this morning. The stock is up a healthy five points or nearly six percent in early trading. This comes ahead of the company's earnings, which are due out this Thursday. On the options front, the put /call open interest is more cautious now than 92 percent all such readings taken over the last year.

JWEB

Juno Online Services (JWEB - 38) has plummeted significantly since rallying to a new intraday high of 87 on December 22. That session proved to be a major reversal day for JWEB, as the stock eventually closed at the 61-1/4 mark for the day. The stock is now nearly 60 percent off this one-time pinnacle. Today, the Internet company announced a fourth-quarter loss of 45 cents per share. Analysts had been expecting a wider loss of 55 cents per share. The company's revenue for the quarter came it at $18.1 million, versus last-year's results of $8 million for the same time period. In pre-session trading, the stock is showing modest gains.

Stocks quoted in this article:

Federal Reserve member Alfred Broaddus made some hawkish comments that have the bond market nervous in pre-open trading, with the March Treasury Bond futures contract (US/H0 -90-6/32) trading lower by 13/32. In speaking with a group of business executives yesterday, he revisted his concerns that the U.S. economy will need additional measures to slow its growth. "Acting preemptively means not waiting until inflation itself is clearly evident before resisting it, if other indicators, like long-term interest rates, are signaling a higher risk of inflation," Broaddus said. Combine resurgent Fed worries with a looming Consumer Price Index and Producer Price Index and you have a recipe for concerns among both bond and stock investors.

Stocks quoted in this article:

Bank One (ONE - 30-1/4) is likely to have a rough day after guiding estimates lower by a penny per share, but with a laundry list of charges. In fact, the stock gapped lower by about 12 dollars on August 25. The company has been unable to right itself since that time. Thus, the Street will not likely view having to revise its estimates yet again without some increased skepticism.<
