Advisors' Opinion:- [By Alan Brochstein]
I actually spoke with Mr. Tim Matula, who is a former director and also handled investor relations for Diamond Ranch Foods (the predecessor company). Mr. Matula is also a long-time director at Nuvilex (NVLX.PK), which I recently suggested is an overly promoted stock exhibiting several of the signs about which FINRA has been warning investors (more on this later). Matula answered the phone number included on recent press releases by PLPL - I was expecting to hear an answering machine, as my call was in the late evening. He explained that he was no longer involved with the company due to having too many time-constraints. He also explained his sale of 4.9mm shares back to the company at $0.025 on February 7th, suggesting an open market sale would have been impossible. Note that PLPL has never traded below $0.04, so I found this curious. It was Matula who passed me along to Shane Traveller. He also told me that he is the brother of Tom Matula, the Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board (more later).

Cintas (NASDAQ: CTAS )
The leading provider of workplace uniforms is a pretty fair proxy for hiring practices. If companies are increasing or decreasing the number of employees it should reflect in the number of uniforms that Cintas is providing. - [By Marc Bastow]
Specialized products and services supplier Cintas (CTAS) raised its quarterly dividend 20.3% to 77 cents per share, payable on Dec. 11 to shareholders of record as of Nov. 8. The increase marks the 31st consecutive annual dividend increase.
CTAS Dividend Yield:�1.43% - [By Roberto Pedone]
Another earnings short-squeeze prospect is business support services player Cintas (CTAS), which is set to release numbers on Thursday after the market close. Wall Street analysts, on average, expect Cintas to report revenue of $1.10 billion on earnings of 63 cents per share.
The current short interest as a percentage of the float for Cintas stands at 5.6%. That means that out of the 102.38 million shares in the tradable float, 5.70 million shares are sold short by the bears. The bears have also been increasing their bets from the last reporting period by 2.5%, or by about 136,000 shares. If the bears get caught pressing their bets into a strong quarter, then shares of CTAS could move up sharply higher post-earnings as the bears move to cover some of those bets.
From a technical perspective, CTAS 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 six months, with shares moving higher from its low of $42.35 to its recent high of $50.80 a share. During that uptrend, shares of CTAS have been consistently making higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. That move has now pushed shares of CTAS within range of triggering a big breakout trade post-earnings.
If you're bullish on CTAS, then I would wait until after its report and look for long-biased trades if this stock manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $61 to $62.27 a share and then once it takes its 52-week high at $50.80 a share with high volume. Look for volume on that move that hits near or above its three-month average action of 458,136 shares. If that breakout hits, then CTAS will set up to enter new 52-week-high territory, which is bullish technical price action. Some possible upside targets off that breakout are $60 to $65 a share.
I would simply avoid CTAS or look for short-biased trades if after earnings it fails to trigge

On Tuesday, US Bancorp (NYSE: USB ) (NYSE: USB ) will release its latest quarterly results. The key to making smart investment decisions on stocks reporting earnings is to anticipate how they'll do before they announce results, leaving you fully prepared to respond quickly to whatever inevitable surprises arise. That way, you'll be less likely to make an uninformed knee-jerk reaction to news that turns out to be exactly the wrong move.

After reporting a quarterly profit of $1.4 billion, which disappointed some investors, U.S. Bancorp's (NYSE: USB ) management team walked investors through the bank's various segments and answered several questions.
- [By Lawrence Meyers]
The big winning sector was finance, which saw earnings rise 30% on an increase of 8.5% in revenues. Banks like Citigroup (C) and JPMorgan Chase (JPM) have bounced back very strongly from the financial crisis, while banks like U.S. Bancorp (USB) continue to make inroads, and impress with good management. So these guys are all benefiting from their diversified streams of revenue generation, and strong revenue from B2B services.
