The Labor Department said Friday that job openings rose 1.8% to a seasonally adjusted 4 million, the most in 5 陆 years. And the number of people quitting increased 1.9% to a seasonally adjusted 2.4 million, a five-year high.
Job openings haven't topped 4 million since March 2008, just a few months after the Great Recession began. Openings at that level are generally consistent with a healthy job market.
And more workers quitting can also be a positive signal, because people usually quit when they either have a new job ��typically for more pay ��or are confident they can find one.
The data suggest the competition for jobs is getting a little bit easier. There were 2.7 unemployed workers for each available job in November, down from 6.7 just after the recession ended in July 2009. In a healthy economy the ratio is roughly 2 to 1.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By John Udovich]
Last Friday, small cap dieting stock Weight Watchers International, Inc (NYSE: WTW) lost weight for investors when shares tumbled�27.73% to $22.10, meaning its probabaly a good idea to take a closer look�at the stock along with�other small cap weight loss or dieting stocks like NutriSystem Inc (NASDAQ: NTRI), Medifast Inc (NYSE: MED) and Reliv International, Inc (NASDAQ: RELV). Why did Weight Watchers International loose weight last Friday? The company reported its fourth straight quarterly sales decline as fewer people attended meetings and bought its products and also projected earnings that trailed analysts' estimates with the blame being placed on new mobile applications and bracelets that track calories���thus�hurting traditional diet companies.

The Volt is just the latest in a round of electric-car discounts that started when Nissan (NASDAQOTH: NSANY ) slashed the price of its battery-electric Leaf by 18% at the beginning of the year.

Tesla, this is bad for you, too
Right now, Tesla is the cr猫me-de-la-cr猫me of EVs. But it's competing against all-electric EVs like Nissan Motors' (NASDAQOTH: NSANY ) Leaf, and Ford's (NYSE: F ) Focus Electric. To put it simply, Tesla's Model S can drive circles around these cars. Yes, it's more expensive, but the technology, range, and precision of the Model S makes anything else seem almost silly in comparison. BMW, however, is a luxury brand with renowned German engineering, and its new i3, and the future i8 model, presents a new challenge for Tesla. - [By MARKETWATCH]

WMT remains consistently profitable with a 23% return on equity and 5 year EPS growth of 9.13%. The stock is attractively valued compared to its rivals with a P/E ratio of 14.9 compared to Target's (TGT) 15.4 and Costco's (COST) 25. Costco's much higher P/E ratio may be overdone considering expectations for the company's growth; however, it also points to a potential undervaluation for WMT.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Maxx Chatsko]
The horrendous flops
I wrote a blog post explaining why Knightsbridge Tankers (NASDAQ: VLCCF ) made the right move in slashing its dividend and why its prospects were looking up. The shipping company was extremely undervalued at the time, so why was I wrong? I made the mistake of thinking that a company trading below book value represented good value for shareholders. In reality, many shipping companies were -- and are -- trading below shareholders' equity because their fleets are enormously valuable assets. Unfortunately, that inflates book value enormously. It may not seem so harmful at first, but perpetually low charter rates have actually forced many shippers -- including Knightsbridge -- to sell tankers at less than market value to keep the lights on. Those practices can erase large chunks of book value overnight.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Roberto Pedone]
Another technology stock that insiders are active in here is Ubiquiti Networks (UBNT), which develops high-performance networking technology for service providers and enterprises. Insiders are buying this stock into big time strength, since shares are up a whopping 211% so far in 2013.
Ubiquiti Networks has a market cap of $3.3 billion and an enterprise value of $3.4 billion. This stock trades at a fair valuation, with a trailing price-to-earnings of 31.65 and a forward price-to-earnings of 18.48. Its estimated growth rate for this year is 100%, and for next year it's pegged at 13.2%. This is a cash-rich company, since the total cash position on its balance sheet is $279.73 million and its total debt is $74.89 million.
A director just bought 20,000 shares, or about $737,000 worth of stock, at $36.85 per share.
From a technical perspective, UBNT is currently trending above its 200-day moving average and just below its 50-day moving average, which is neutral trendwise. This stock has been trending sideways for the last month and change, with shares moving between $36.30 on the downside and $44.80 on the upside. Traders should keep an eye on shares of UBNT for any high-volume move above the upper-end of its recent range, since that could trigger a big breakout for this stock.
If you're in the bull camp on UBNT, then I would look for long-biased trades as long as this stock is trending above some near-term support at $36.30 and then once it breaks out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $39.35 to $40.59 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those levels with volume that hits near or above its three-month average action of 905,311 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then UBNT will set up to re-test or possibly take out its all-time high at $44.80 a share. Any high-volume move above $44.80 will then give UBNT a chance to tag $50 to $55 a share.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Matthew DiLallo]
An oil price spike could incentivize Bakken-based producers like Continental Resources (NYSE: CLR ) and EOG Resources (NYSE: EOG ) to drill even more wells than were planned. EOG, for example is planning to drill 53 Bakken wells this year and can continue that pace for the next dozen years. The company could simply quicken its pace. Similarly, Continental could boost its $3.6 billion capital spending plan and drill more wells this year.

It's not alone, which is clear by going back to Texas, where the Eagle Ford has been one of the big drivers for EOG Resources (NYSE: EOG ) . The company, which expects to grow its oil production by 28% this year, has a clear path to grow its oil production by double digits annually through 2017. Overall, the company sees the potential for 4,900 additional Eagle Ford wells, which will enable it to capture about 8% of the Eagle Ford's entire estimated output.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Philip Saglimbeni]
The good news for Microsoft is that consumers are a fickle bunch and can be swayed rather quickly. The upcoming E3 conference in June is a perfect time for Microsoft to announce a barrage of new games for Xbox One and to provide potential customers with a better understanding of what they can expect at launch for the new system. With Nintendo Co. Ltd. (NTDOY.PK) having backed out of the premiere game conference, it will be Microsoft and Sony facing off directly. In an atmosphere filled with nothing but gamers, big expectations and the potential for even bigger headlines, it won't be much of a competition unless Microsoft chooses to battle Sony in the actual video game department. I expect Microsoft will soon come out swinging with popular blockbuster series announcements but as of right now the console is not effectively convincing the gaming masses and is losing valuable time in its increasingly short release window. Microsoft, you're on notice, put your game face on!
