The LocateStock.com HIGH FIVE for Wednesday, October 31st are:

5 – Excel Maritime Carriers – NYSE:EXM

4 – Yingli Green Energy Holding – NYSE:YGE

3 – Diana Shipping – NYSE:DSX

2 – Superconductor Technologies – NASDAQ:SCON

1 – WellCare Health Plans – NYSE:WCG

Excel Maritime Carriers, Ltd. (NYSE:EXM) engages in the ownership and operation of dry bulk carriers, and in the provision of seaborne transportation services for dry bulk cargoes, such as iron ore, coal and grains, bauxite, fertilizers, and steel products worldwide. As of June 26, 2007, the company's fleet consisted of 16 vessels comprising 10 Panamax and 6 Handymax vessels with a total carrying capacity of 965,249 deadweight tonnage.

* Freight rates on cape size ships, which are the largest vessels, dropped unexpectedly on Tuesday, which some analysts say may be a sign that Chinese steel production has leveled off, causing shipping prices to decrease as less vessels are needed. Investors in the dry bulk shipping sector drowned as stock prices plummeted. Excel Maritime was among stocks that plunged, losing $16.00 or 20.02% to $63.91 on the NYSE.

Yingli Green Energy Holding Company Limited, (NYSE:YGE) through its subsidiary, Baoding Tianwei Yingli New Energy Resources Co., Ltd., engages in the design, development, marketing, manufacturing, and installation and sale of photovoltaic products in the People's Republic of China and internationally. Its products include polysilicon ingots and wafers, photovoltaic cells and modules, and integrated photovoltaic systems.

* Chinese solar product manufacturer Yingli Green Energy Holding on Monday said it signed new contracts to clarify pricing on its 1,232-ton polysilicon supply deal with Sichuan Xinguang Silicon Science and Technology. Shares of Yingli Green Energy surged 8.7% last Friday, 7.50% Monday, and added an additional 88 cents or 2.38% to $37.85 on the NYSE.

Diana Shipping, Inc., (NYSE:DSX) through its subsidiaries, engages in the ocean transportation of dry bulk cargoes worldwide. Its fleet consists of dry bulk carriers that transport iron ore, coal, grain, and other dry cargoes along worldwide shipping routes.

* On Monday Diana Shipping announced that its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2007 are scheduled to be released before the opening of the U.S. financial markets on Wednesday, November 14, 2007. Shares of DSX lost $5.57 or 12.43% to $39.25 Tuesday.

Superconductor Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:SCON) develops, manufactures, and markets infrastructure products for wireless voice and data applications in the United States. It offers SuperLink, which combines HTS filters with a proprietary cryogenic cooler and an ultra low-noise amplifier; AmpLink, a ground-mounted unit, which includes an amplifier that provides increased sensitivity; and SuperPlex, a line of multiplexers that provides low insertion loss and cross-band isolation.

* Superconductor Technologies ranked among the small-cap winners Tuesday after inking a deal with China Corporate Credit Assurance to deploy its SuperLink product in 2G and 3G networks in China. Shares of the Santa Barbara, Calif., communication-equipment maker added $1.58 or 14.23% to $12.68 after tapping a new high of $13.77.

WellCare Health Plans, Inc. (NYSE:WCG) provides managed care services exclusively for government-sponsored healthcare programs, focusing on Medicaid and Medicare in the United States. It offers a range of Medicaid and Medicare plans, including health plans for families, children, the aged, blind and disabled, and prescription drug plans.

* Shares of beleaguered health insurer WellCare Health Plans sank again Tuesday after a Florida health agency said it will halt WellCare's plans to expand into new counties while the federal government investigates the company. The SEC requested unspecified information on Thursday, a day after more than 200 federal and state agents raided WellCare's Tampa, Florida headquarters. On Tuesday shares fell off an additional $6.58 or 22.99% to settle at $22.04. Shares in WellCare are down more than 100% since the raid.
