Some are simply drifting lower in this challenging market, while others certainly merit a sell-off.

A number of stocks are hitting new lows for 2010 this week, and an increasing number are also hitting 52-week lows. In fact, more than 100 stocks hit 52-week lows on Tuesday for the first time in more than a year. The rising list of laggards is surprising considering we just came off of a very robust earnings season. Some are simply drifting lower in this challenging market, while others certainly merit a sell-off. Here’s a look at some stocks that hit 52-week lows on Tuesday, but which should move back up when buyers re-take charge of the market. AOL AOL (NYSE: AOL) went public at $25 a share last November, and after a recent march toward the $30 mark, touched almost $20 on Tuesday, an all-time low. You would think this IPO would have fared well, as advertising rates on websites have started to firm up after declining for several years. But the company has admitted that its sales force was not meeting expectations, and a recent re-shuffle of the sales team is expected to… Read More

As the Obama administration gets set to spell out the restrictions placed on offshore drilling, one thing is clear: The domestic supply of oil and natural gas is bound to be cut — at least in the near-term. This should have little impact on oil prices, as the commodity is global in nature, and the Gulf contributes only a tiny fraction of the world’s output. Natural gas — that’s a different story. It’s not a fungible commodity. Natural gas costs more to transport from distant lands and the Gulf accounts… Read More

As the Obama administration gets set to spell out the restrictions placed on offshore drilling, one thing is clear: The domestic supply of oil and natural gas is bound to be cut — at least in the near-term. This should have little impact on oil prices, as the commodity is global in nature, and the Gulf contributes only a tiny fraction of the world’s output. Natural gas — that’s a different story. It’s not a fungible commodity. Natural gas costs more to transport from distant lands and the Gulf accounts for about 12% of all domestic gas production. That means the market for natural gas, which has recently had greater supply than demand, could come into balance. If that happens, the folks digging for gas on dry land would finally have a reason to cheer. Land-based drillers were euphoric a few years ago when they discovered that the United States was sitting on massive pockets of underground gas that could now be tapped thanks to new technology. The euphoria was short-lived as it quickly became apparent there was perhaps too much gas yet to be tapped. Prices… Read More
