It’s hard to beat dividend stocks like real estate investments trusts (REITs) and master limited partnerships (MLPs) for high dividend yields, but since those payouts flow directly from earnings, their income streams can be volatile. (Hey, as with everything else in investing and life, there’s no such thing as a free lunch.)

Steeling yourself for further declines?
A similar argument exists for other low-price-to-book stocks, including Cliffs Natural (NYSE: CLF ) , Alcoa (NYSE: AA ) , and U.S. Steel (NYSE: X ) . Each of these three companies has a highly capital-intensive business involved in processing raw materials and producing either ingredients for fabricated metal production or the metals themselves. When you look at their balance sheets, all of these companies have substantial amounts of assets locked up in plants and equipment, much of which hasn't been subject to depreciation yet. - [By Sean Williams]
The fire under the market today seems to be caused by aluminum giant Alcoa's (NYSE: AA ) second-quarter earnings report, which delivered a 2% decline in revenue to $5.85 billion and an adjusted profit of $0.07 per share, $0.01 better than the Street had forecast. More importantly, despite the challenging environment for aluminum pricing and supply, Alcoa again stuck to its global growth forecasts for 2013. While this is a far cry from the growth we were accustomed to from Alcoa just five years ago, it was nonetheless a solid report that highlighted a mixture of cost-cutting efforts on Alcoa's part, and strengthening auto sales in the U.S. and China.

Another environmental services player that looks ready to trigger a near-term breakout trade is GSE Holdings (GSE), which provides geosynthetic containment solutions for environmental protection and confinement applications. This stock has been hammered by the bears so far in 2013, with shares down big by 55%.
If you take a look at the chart for GSE Holdings, you'll notice that this stock recently ripped sharply higher back above its 50-day moving average of $2.32 a share with heavy upside volume. Following that move, shares of GSE have started to trend sideways between $2.60 on the downside and $2.95 on the upside. Shares of GSE are now starting to move within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade above the upper-end of its recent range.
Traders should now look for long-biased trades in GSE if it manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $2.79 to $2.95 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those levels with volume that hits near or above its three-month average action of 221,545 shares. If that breakout hits soon, then GSE will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $3.50 to $4 a share.
Traders can look to buy GSE off any weakness to anticipate that breakout and simply use a stop that sits right below support at $2.60 or below its 50-day moving average at $2.32 a share. One could also buy GSE off strength once it takes out those breakout levels with volume and then simply use a stop that sits a comfortable percentage from your entry point.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Ben Levisohn]
Peter Saleh of Telsey Advisory Group assumes that Darden sells or spins off Red Lobster in the next three to six months. ��t that point, the activists will have failed to break the company up, and will sell the stock.��In that event, then, investors might flee to an alternative like, say, Texas Roadhouse (TXRH), which trades at 20 times forward earnings, with estimated long-term earnings growth of 13.2%, versus Darden�� 18 times earnings and 9% earnings growth. Saleh thinks Darden is worth $45, somewhat less than today�� price, given ��xecution risk in spinning out Red Lobster.��/p>
