Pharmacy Stocks Helped by Healthcare Reform (CVS, ESRX, RAD, MHS, WAG, WMT)

By Jeff Reeves

President Obama signed the health care reform bill into law Tuesday, and despite the huffing and puffing of Republicans, there's not much that can be done to change things. The legislation gives 32 million currently uninsured Americans access to medical procedures and prescription drugs -- making them prospective customers of leading prescription providers like CVS Caremark (CVS), Express Scripts (ESRX), Rite Aid (RAD), Medco Health Solutions (MHS), Walgreens (WAG) and Wal-Mart (WMT).

Starbucks SBUX to Pay First-Ever Dividend

By Jeff Reeves

Starbucks (SBUX) just announced today that it will begin paying regular quarterly dividends of 10 cents a share -- a move Wall Street greeted by bidding up shares about 2% after the announcement. If the move was meant to perk up investor sentiment, it certainly worked. The Seattle company also said it will buy back an extra 15 million SBUX shares over a previously announced 6.3 million buyback plan.

3 Stocks That May Snatch Up Gamestop

By Jeff Reeves

Gamestop (GME) is Wall Street's favorite dog to kick around. Shares are down -20% from the March lows of 2009 despite a red-hot rally of about 70% in the broader market. But that may not be fair, and competitors like Best Buy (BBY), Blockbuster (BBI) and Walmart (WMT) may want to buy out GME soon.

The stock offers a hefty yield, and since it's a "depletion trust" based on the life of its reserves, it's not as tied to oil prices as other stocks in the energy sector. But after dropping 13% in two days last week, some are wondering if it is time to cut this stock loose – or time to buy more.

By Jeff Reeves

Though Peppy Paneer may not be a popular pizza topping in the U.S., Indians are eating up the tofu-esque offering from Domino's Pizza (DPZ) that caters to regional tastes on the subcontinent. And increasingly at DPZ, it's what the international pizza crowd wants that matters.

By Jeff Reeves

Last week, we learned that U.S. retail sales of video games declined 15% in February, part of an ongoing decline for the industry. 2010 could be shaping up to be bad all over, and that could spell disaster for many already-battered video game stocks including retailer Gamestop (GME); hardware makers Microsoft (MSFT), Sony (SNE) and Nintendo (NTDOY) and game studios Activision Blizzard (ATVI), Take Two Interactive (TTWO) and Electronic Arts (ERTS).

Nintendo Video Games: Coming to a School Near You

By Jeff Reeves

Nintendo (NTDOY) caused a stir this week when one of its top developers said he would be spending his energy adapting the company's DS handheld consoles as tour guides for museums and educational aids for schools. But while some soccer moms are scoffing, the plan is not just a pipe dream. Here are three reasons why NTDOY will likely succeed in this gambit to brand itself as an educational software leader and start eating up a large share of the $1 billion educational toy industry:
