NEW YORK, June 12 (newratings.com) - Analyst Steven Wieczynski of Stifel Nicolaus & Company upgrades Shuffle Master Inc (SHFL.NAS) from "hold" to "buy," while raising his estimates for the company. The target price is set to $42.

In a research note published this morning, the analyst mentions that the recent decline in the company's share price presents an attractive investment opportunity. Shuffle Master is best positioned amongst its peers in the gaming industry to capitalise on the growth from Macu in the forthcoming five years, the analyst adds. The EPS estimates for FY06 and FY07 have been raised from $0.92 to $0.93 and from $1.17 to $1.24, respectively

Im looking at NEW for a short here is a quick overview and chart of this mortgage lender.

"New Century Financial Corporation operates as a real estate investment trust in the United States. It originates and purchases mortgage loans through two divisions, Wholesale and Retail. The Wholesale division provides loans through a network of independent mortgage brokers and correspondent lenders. It also originates mortgage loans through its FastQual Website at www.newcentury.com, where a broker uploads a loan request. The Retail division operates and originates loans through a consumer-direct channel and a builder/realtor channel, including radio, direct mail, telemarketing, television advertising, and the Internet."

Homebuilders were first... Mortgage lenders are soon to follow

Damn...my broker (ameritrade) says there are no shares to short BIDU...so I'm betting on HANS to go down...just shorted some shares at $150.00. close below 50 MA today.
