The Defense Security Cooperation Agency notified Congress (link opens a PDF) Monday of plans to conduct a foreign military "sale" of an F-16 Formal Training Unit, or FTU, to the Netherlands.
According to the DSCA, the provision to the Royal Netherlands Air Force of the F-16 FTU -- a training course for fighter pilots -- along with 50,000 Infrared Decoy Flares, 30,000 units of Training Chaff, 3,750 "dummy" training bombs, 4,050 inert training bombs of assorted types, and 120,000 blank training rounds, along with necessary fuel and support services, pilot training services, and "other related elements of logistics support" -- will cost the Dutch an estimated $191 million.
The DSCA justifies the "sale" of this course to the Dutch by saying that it will further the "foreign policy and national security objectives of the U.S. by improving the capabilities of the Royal Netherlands Air Force and enhancing its standardization and interoperability with U.S. forces." Training, if approved, will take place in the U.S. with the Tucson Air National Guard, 162nd Fighter Wing, serving in the role of course manager.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Bryan Murphy]
With just a quick glance at its chart, Liquidmetal Technologies Inc. (OTCBB:LQMT) looks like little more than a tangled, indecisive mess. As you take a longer look at LQMT chart though, a modest bullish hint starts to appear. This may be one of the budding superstar stocks for Q4.

The 7% pop we're seeing from Liquidmetal Technologies Inc. (OTCBB:LQMT) today is impressive, but we've all seen big - and even bigger - gains from stocks before. What makes this one any different than the hundred of other stocks that dole out one-day wonder gains on any given trading day? Well, as it turns out, there actually is something significantly different with the way LQMT is flying high today.

While it may be melodramatic to say my following of Liquidmetal Technologies Inc. (OTCBB:LQMT) has been something of a 'saga', it wouldn't be unfair to say it's one of those small cap stocks that's had its fair share of twists and turns. Yours truly turned explicitly bullish on LQMT back on November 22nd, after the stock broke above a key falling resistance lines. Then, on January 14th, I made a point of saying the rally had run its course, and it was time to lock in your 47% gain on Liquidmetal Technologies and walk away... at least for a while.

To say that Cardium Therapeutics Inc. (NYSEMKT:CXM) has been unimpressive this year - and last year for that matter - would be an understatement. Shares of CXM peaked at $11.90 in late 2011, and spend the next two years making their way back to the August (2013) low of $0.58. The stock has since wiggled its way back to the current price of $0.84, but the effort has largely been dismissed as volatility. Big mistake. When you take a step back and look at the bigger picture, you start to see Cardium Therapeutics shares are on the cusp of a monster-sized rebound.

UBS's(UBSN.VX) Art Cashin puts the critical range between 1837-1840. John O’Hara at FBN thinks the market is going to churn in the 1820-1840 area this week, and test that lower boundary. “That would be a good set-up for a rally into week’s end,” he wrote.
