Stocks to Watch Today - Monday, Nov 3rd, 2008

Las Vegas Sands ( LVS ) - I continue to trade LVS as it continues to have the volatility and the volume. You can day trade this one all week most likely. I will try to get an updated technical chart up on LVS today.

Dry Ships ( DRYS ) - Drys reported earnings this morning of $3.53 per share. I wasn't expecting these earnings for awhile so i'm not sure if they pre released them. Anyway, the market is bidding $20 per share so I think the news is priced in. Baltic Shipping rates have tanked over the past few months hitting these bulk shipping stocks.

Baidu.com ( BIDU ) - Keep an eye on this stock today, they are announcing a big 200million share buyback this morning. Shares are up 3% in pre market.

AIG - AIG is up 4.75% this morning on light volume
