		<description><![CDATA[Lamar Advertising Co. (LAMR) reported quite an improvement in the third quarter results with earnings per share of $0.04, exceeding the year-ago reported earnings of $0.01. Net revenue jumped 3.2% y/y and exceeded management&#8217;s guidance by 1.3%. Moreover, the company&#8217;s debt level plummeted in the quarter, bringing down the interest expense by 6.2%. Accounting for these positive factors and anticipating further improvements in the advertising market in 2012 in the backdrop of reviving US economy, we upgrade our recommendation on Lamar from Neutral to Outperform. The Zacks estimate for 2012 also represents a significant increase. The company is currently trading at a Price-to-Cash Flow (P/CF) multiple of 9.0x. We believe the company will outperform the broader market going forward. Our target price is $35.00, based on P/CF of 10.3x. LAMAR ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After writing my post yesterday about the Treasury budget numbers for December, I have decided to dig a little bit deeper in to the trends in revenues and outlays so far in this fiscal year, relative to the first three months of the 2009 fiscal year. While I would encourage you to read the previous post, here is a quick wrap-up: In the first three months of this fiscal year, the red ink has totaled $388.5 billion, up from $331.5 billion in fiscal 2009. However, total spending, both on-budget and off-budget (off-budget is mostly Social Security) was actually down by $3.6 billion to $876.3 billion. Even that understates things, since on-budget spending fell by $48.7 billion or 6.2%, while off-budget spending rose by $44.5 billion, or 49.2%. The real cause ]]></description>
