Shares of Vringo (NYSEMKT:VRNG) plummeted 36% yesterday, after an unfavorable development in the company's patent infringement lawsuit against Google (Nasdaq: GOOG ) , AOL (NYSE: AOL ) , and other players in search. Vringo hasn't lost. Heck, closing arguments start today. However, the case's district court judge ruled yesterday to limit any potential damages. Instead of calculating potential damages to as far back as Sept. 15, 2005, only damages from Sep. 15, 2011 will be considered under the equitable doctrine of laches. Was this enough to shred more than a third of Vringo's value on a whopping 31 million shares of trading volume yesterday? Vringo still has a shot here, it just won't be collecting as much in past damages as the nine-figure judgment that it was hoping for. There's a reason the court was trying to steer Google and Vringo into an amicable settlement last month. However, Vringo bulls need to be realistic here. Vringo didn't pay much for Innovate/Protect -- the holding company behind these old Lycos patents that basically detail the ad targeting process -- back in March.

Shares of VeriSign (Nasdaq: VRSN) jumped 11% in late trading, after releasing a statement that it expected to keep the .com registry. The company is confident that government agencies, who are reviewing the company's agreement to run the .com registry, will allow the company to continue running it. A statement from the company said, "VeriSign expects to continue to run the .com registry." This is an important revenue source for VeriSign, and the company's confidence is a good sign for the stock going forward. The government wanted to review the company's ability to potentially raise prices for companies that rely on .com sites around the country. I don't think this is a reason to buy, given the company's 40 P/E ratio, but it's a good sign, nonetheless.

SM Energy Company (NYSE:SM) are trading at $59.73 and is +10.11% from its 50-day Moving Average price of $54.2454 and +12.26% from its 200-day Moving Average price of $53.2046. The average trading volume is 937092 shares and its market capitalization is $3.891B. Shares of SM Energy (NYSE: SM) jumped 12% today, after reporting third quarter earnings. The company reported quarterly production of 620 MMCFE/d, which was above previous guidance. But revenue fell 28.6%, to $379.0 million, and the company swung to a loss of $38.3 million, or $0.58 per share. On an adjusted basis, the company made $0.14 per share, which was double what analysts expected. The company performed well versus expectations, but lower costs for oil and natural gas are hurting results. I don't see any light ahead for prices of either commodity and, even if the company meets higher production levels, there may not be any profit left for investors. I'm leaving SM Energy alone until prices rise, which may be a while.
