Stocks Are Timid Ahead of Earnings Reports

Wall Street showed little direction early Tuesday as investors awaited further signals from companies about where the economy might be headed.

Stocks fluctuated in a narrow range as investors shied from placing big bets following several days of selling and after aluminum giant Alcoa Inc. reported late Monday that it lost $1.19 billion during the fourth quarter as demand for aluminum plunged. Investors saw the report as a troubling example of the range of companies that are being hit hard by the recession.

In the first hour of trading, the Dow Jones industrial average rose 25.33, or 0.30 percent, to 8,499.30 after briefly moving lower.

Broader indexes also rose but at times dipped into losses. The Standard & Poor's 500 index advanced 2.55, or 0.29 percent, to 827.81, while the Nasdaq composite index rose 12.67, or 0.82 percent, to 1,551.46.

Today’s SmallCapVoice.com Hot Stocks to Watch:

Heartland Inc. (OTC BB: HTLJ) is today’s hot stock to watch.

Heartland Inc. said it recently acquired 37 industrial acres in the southwest Central Ohio city with plans to develop a venture dubbed Heartland Steel. The subsidiary would serve as a steel service center, holding and processing inventory and providing next-day delivery to clients, said Randy Frevert, a Heartland board member who’s been tapped to serve as president of the new venture.

The company didn’t disclose terms of the sale, but Frevert said the company expects to bring in a few existing employees and hire 15 or more within the next six months in anticipation of a spring opening.

“We’re planning to hire as many local people as we can,” he said.

Frevert, an Ohio native and former executive at Evansville, Ind.-based Patriot Steel, said Heartland saw potential in Central Ohio after seeing larger companies serving area clients through service centers in Pittsburgh, Detroit and Indianapolis. A key to the venture’s growth, he said, will be providing what others won’t.
