Schaeffer's S&P 500 Index Hot Stocks for Tuesday, June 14, 2005:

A daily feature available on SchaeffersResearch.com is the "SPX Hot Stocks" column. Each afternoon, we will provide a list of the day's top-20 performing stocks in the S&P 500 Index (SPX - 1,203.06) as well as the bottom-20 names. Featured along with this table will be news that is moving some of the securities.

NOTE: Stocks trading under $5 per share have been eliminated from this listing of the top-20 and bottom-20 performing stocks.

It's been a rather quiet day on the Street, as the SPX continues to hover just above breakeven. The flat reaction is rather surprising, especially given the lower-than-expected Producer Price Index that arrived earlier in the session. At last check, the SPX was up 3.05 points, or 0.25 percent, with 61 percent of its components on track for a higher finish on the day.

Best Buy (NYSE:BBY) lived up to its name today, surging more than 14 percent after the company reported solid first-quarter earnings. In the period, BBY earned 51 cents per share, far better than last year's same-quarter earnings of 34 cents per share. Not only were these earnings better than last year, BBY crushed analysts' expectations for 30 cents per share. The company also lifted its guidance for the full fiscal year.

Mylan Laboratories (NYSE:MYL) has jumped more than 10 percent higher today to arrive as our second biggest mover on the day. The company announced a $1.25 billion share buyback, doubled its annual dividend, and projected 2006 and 2007 earnings ahead of the consensus estimate. And for an encore, it will juggle these three chainsaws! But seriously, the stock gapped higher on the open this morning on the news, taking out prior resistance at the 19 level. The only barrier in MYL's path now is its 20-month moving average, which resides just above the equity.

Delphi (NYSE:DPH) rarely gets a chance to appear on our hot stocks list, mainly because it has trouble holding above our cutoff for five-dollar stocks. However, the shares are clinging to that threshold in today's session, having added more than 9.50 percent in the process. The fuel for this fire was an upgrade from Deutsche Bank to "hold" from "sell." The brokerage firm noted that while the stock remains a risky bet, most of this has already been priced in following its 40-percent year-to-date drop.

Altria Group (NYSE:MO) is trying to put out the flames today, after the Illinois Supreme Court decided to delay its judgment on a class-action case involving light cigarettes. This delay in the case is expected to prompt the tobacco titan to delay its breakup until 2006. MO had planned to split the company up at the end of 2005. As a result, the equity finds itself at the bottom of our list with a nearly two-percent loss on the day.

Yesterday, BMC Software (NYSE:BMC) stated that it plans to file a 15-day automatic extension with the Securities and Exchange Commission related to its annual report. While the stock soared in yesterday's session after this release, the equity is apparently taking a hefty breather from Monday's run higher, declining more than 1.53 percent so far today. Furthermore, short-term resistance at the 17.50 level is also partly to blame for today's weakness in the shares.

Semiconductor concern Teradyne (TER) also finds itself on the losing end of today's trading, despite a distinct lack of discernable news. The equity has traded in a rather tight range since mid-May, trapped largely between the 13 and 13.50 levels. Today's pullback has the security trading near the lower rail of this range, with TER also breaching its 10-day and 20-day moving averages for the first time since May 3.
