Therefore the situation is still very bullish for investors in physical gold and the gold ETFs (GLD, CEF, and PHYS). Investors interested in leveraging this situation into higher potential profits may also consider buying gold miners such as Randgold (GOLD), Goldcorp (GG), Yamana Gold (AUY), and any of the other gold miners. Finally, those willing to shoulder much larger risks may consider some of the exploration and micro-cap companies that offer significant profits at a high risk such as Chesapeake Gold (CHPGF.PK), Pretium Resources (PVG), Western Copper (WRN), or any other of the junior exploration companies. Though investors should keep in mind that gold mining companies and explorers do not always rise with a rising gold price - do your research before you invest in the miners.

While the given problems that are plaguing Corinthian Colleges Inc.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Roberto Pedone]
Another potential earnings short-squeeze trade is home furnishings retailer Restoration Hardware (RH), which is set to release its numbers Tuesday after the market close. Wall Street analysts, on average, expect Restoration Hardware to report revenue of $377.60 million on earnings of 43 cents per share.
Just recently, Janney Capital initiated shares of Restoration Hardware with a buy rating and a price target of $82 per share.
The current short interest as a percentage of the float for Restoration Hardware is pretty high at 10.6%. That means that out of the 34.27 million shares in the tradable float, 2.55 million shares are sold short by the bears. The bears have also been increasing their bets from the last reporting period by 11.7%, or by about 267,000 shares. If the bears get caught pressing their bets into a strong quarter, then shares of RH could experience a big short-squeeze post-earnings.
From a technical perspective, RH is currently trending above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which is bullish. This stock has been uptrending strong for the last month and change, with shares moving higher from its low of $63.81 to its intraday high of $78.29 a share. During that move, shares of RH have been consistently making higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. That move has now pushed shares of RH into news 52-week high territory, which is bullish technical price action.
If you're in the bull camp on RH, then I would wait until after its report and look for long-biased trades if this stock manages to take out its all-time high of $78.29 a share (or its intraday high Tuesday if greater) with high volume. Look for volume on that move that hits near or above its three-month average action of 656,881 shares. If that breakout triggers, then RH will set up to enter new all-time high territory, which is bullish technical price action. Some possible upside targets off that move are $85 to $90 a sh

That helps explain why Accenture and IBM,�the industry's two biggest players, have been able to gobble up so much market share. But there's a second tier of technology-consultants -- in terms of sheer size -- as well. That's where Cognizant, as well as its main competition --�Infosys (NYSE: INFY ) and Wipro (NYSE: WIT ) �-- come in to play.

No dilution worries here
Often when a biotech announces a new share offering, its stock will fall because of investor concerns about dilution. There were no worries for Intercept Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ICPT ) with its recently announced offering, though. Shares jumped 20% for the week. - [By Jake L'Ecuyer]
Equities Trading UP
Shares of Intercept Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ICPT) got a boost, shooting up 282.85 percent to $276.21 after the company reported that the FLINT trial of obeticholic acid has been stopped early and the NASH primary endpoint has been met. - [By Sean Williams]
For this week's round of "Better Know a Stock," I'm going to take a closer look at Intercept Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ICPT ) .
What Intercept Pharmaceuticals does
Intercept Pharmaceuticals is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing treatments aimed at chronic liver diseases. Specifically, Intercept differentiates itself through the utilization of its proprietary bile acid chemistry. The company's lead compound, known as obeticholic acid, or OCA, recently initiated phase 3 trials for primary biliary cirrhosis and has received orphan drug status from the Food and Drug Administration for this disease, which could ultimately expedite its review process and grant it seven years marketing exclusivity from the date of approval -- assuming it gets approved, of course! OCA is also being tested in a number of other indications. - [By Ben Levisohn]
In what’s turned into a bad day for biotech stocks, Intercept Pharmaceuticals (ICPT) is among the worst performers.
REUTERSShares of Intercept Pharmaceuticals have dropped 8.3% to $295, lagging the 3.3% drop in the iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology ETF (IBB) and the 4.7% decline in the SPDR S&P Biotech ETF (XBI). Gilead Sciences (GILD) has fallen 2.1% to $72.44 and Amgen (AMGN) is off just 1.8% at $121.88.
Blame SAC’s decision to drastically cut its position and a secondary offering for Intercept’s decline.
Wedbush’s Liana Moussatos explains the purpose of the secondary offering:
Intercept raised approximately $183.3MM in a follow-on offering of 600,000 shares at $320/share. We project runway into Q3 2016 from Q3 2015, which covers major milestones, including regulatory review and potential approval of OCA in PBC in 2015…
Reiterate OUTPERFORM rating and acquisition value of $493. Our acquisition value is calculated by applying a 30% annual discount to our net peak WW revenues for each drug/indication and applying a 1-10x multiple depending on stage of development to reflect risk. Each combination is added in a sum-of-parts to calculate an acquisition value for [Intercept Pharmaceuticals] and projected to the end of 2015 to include the time frame we see for potential acquisition.
Just expect a heck of a lot of volatility before then.
