Time for the weekly Sentiment Movers Update. Here's the latest for the previous week. You will see some of these sentiment movements on the home page where we are featuring interesting activity from Piqqem. The Market Movers measurement combines number of active votes on a security at Piqqem.com and percentage change in sentiment ratings on an equity over the previous seven days.
Here's the quick commentary. Home improvement chain Lowe's declined dramatically, likely based on the tandem drags of reduced consumer spending and higher interest rates. Consumer Bellwether Wal-Mart Stores also declined on weaker consumer spending numbers. Wind power equipment provider American Superconductor has received more sell-side coverage in the past two months and positive analyst ratings as it continues to rack up deals. Fertilizer and agricultural chemicals company Agrium has suffered from a delayed impact of negative earnings results and from concerns about ethanol and corn production. Any feedback, as always, is welcome!
