		<description><![CDATA[Expectations of strong corporate results and encouraging domestic data helped the benchmarks move modestly higher on Thursday. Investors zoomed in on the events at home and shrugged off global concerns that had previously caused much damage to the indices. Technology and retailers led the gains and the S&#38;P 500 rose above its 50 day moving average. The fear gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) dropped over 6% to settle at 18. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.7% and finished at 12,170.56. The Dow recorded its biggest 6 day percentage gain since July 14, 2010 after gaining 4.8% in the last 6 trading days.

		<description><![CDATA[On Friday, markets returned to their winning ways after three consecutive days of losses. Moderately positive domestic economic data and a small decline in crude prices brought cheer to investors after a week of falling indices. This was the worst performing week for the year, marked by unrest in the Middle East and surging crude prices which negatively impacted the markets. For the week, the Dow shed 2.1%, the S&#38;P 500 fell 1.7% and Nasdaq was down 1.9%. This was also the worst weekly performance by stocks since November last year. The fear gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) slipped 9.9% to 19.22 suggesting the improved sentiment on Friday and the consolidated volumes on the New York Stock Exchange was 3.8 billion shares. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) moved up ]]></description>

Earnings (including stock-based compensation but excluding one time items) of 24 cents per share were up from the year-ago quarter of 11 cents. Earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 22 cents per share. Robust results at VMware indicate increased growth opportunity and diversity of its products. Moreover the company is benefiting from improving demand, customer wins and geographical expansion. Revenue Revenues increased 45.8% year over year to $714.2 million, primarily driven by strong growth from license and services segment. License revenues were up 42.8% year over year to $343.2 million. Services revenue leaped 48.7% year over year to $371.0 million. U.S. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A leading provider of virtualization infrastructure software solutions VMware Inc. (VMW) has launched a limited period VMware Fusion upgrade program for users of Parallels Desktop, Macintosh version, for $9.99. Under the program, Parallels Macintosh users will be able to switch over to VMWare Fusion 3 for only $9.99, thereby saving $30.00 from a usual VMware Fusion upgrade or a $40.0 from upgrading to Parallels Desktop 6. VMware Fusion 3 costs $79.99 for a new license and $39.99 for an upgrade from previous VMware Fusion 2 and 1. In our view, there is pent-up demand for both Macintosh and Windows, as information technology (IT) spending recovers.

		<description><![CDATA[Electronic design automation (EDA) software company Synopsys Inc. (SNPS) recently completed the acquisition of Virage Logic Corp. (VIRL) for $12 per share. The total consideration of the deal came in at approximately $315.0 million. Virage Logic’s business is expected to integrate easily with Synopsys, as the former provides semiconductor intellectual property (IP) for the design of complex integrated circuits. In a way, this acquisition is expected to supplement Synopsys&#8217; Designware platform, as well as its Intellectual Property product category. The company has adopted acquisitions as a growth strategy. Earlier, it added technology, engineering resources and other such assets of Synfora, Inc. to its portfolio. Synfora provides C/C++ design technology, for complex system-on-chips (SoCs) and Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). This acquisition was intended to strengthen Synopsys’ position in the FPGA-based prototyping ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently, Palo Alto, California-based VMware Inc. (VMW) announced that it has been proclaimed the leader in the Server Virtualization space by the U.S.-based research firm, Gartner Inc. Gartner has placed VMware in the “Leader&#8221; quadrant of its Magic Quadrant (MQ), for the company’s contribution toward x86 server virtualization infrastructure. The MQ is a research tool providing in-depth qualitative analysis of a market and its current affairs. VMware launched its x86 virtualization technology in February 1999, to facilitate programmers to run multiple operating systems simultaneously on an x86 computer in a safe and efficient manner. Recent research reveals that the virtualization space will grow in conjunction with rapid growth in cloud computing. Hence, we believe that VMware, a leader in virtualization technology, would be able to capitalize on this growth opportunity. ]]></description>

Further, the company witnessed increased revenue from each of its products and segments Incorporatedluding Manufacturing, AEC, and Platform Solutions and Emerging Business.

		<description><![CDATA[Leading electronic design automation (EDA) company Synopsys Inc. (SNPS) recently closed the acquisition of VaST Systems Technology Corporation. This acquisition is expected to augment the company’s virtual prototyping solutions portfolio and cater to the automotive and consumer applications customer in a better way. VaST Systems was founded in 1997 and is backed by Foundation Capital, Mohr Davidow Ventures and Allen &#38; Buckeridge. With this acquisition, Synopsys gets access to the processor subsystem models generally found in automotive and consumer applications of the company’s prototyping portfolio. Virtualization is a key technology that helps to improve software development productivity and system verification. Although this is a major acquisition by the company in recent times, the terms of the deal were not disclosed. We believe that it is not justified to expect a ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Autodesk, Inc. (ADSK) is well positioned to benefit from a recovery in the economic environment, but we do not expect a significant impact until the second half of fiscal 2011 (ending Jan. 2011). Therefore, we remain Neutral on the stock, given our long-term confidence about Autodesk’s growth opportunities. Our target price of $28.00 is based on a P/E multiple of 25.5X our 2011 EPS estimate, a discount to the peer group. Autodesk reported better-than-expected third quarter of 2010 results, but below year-ago levels. Moreover, management provided conservative fourth-quarter guidance. With falling revenues, Autodesk has been generating weak cash flows. The company generated $121.2 million cash from operating activities fiscal year to date, a decline of $386.3 million from the comparable year-ago period. On a positive note, with cash of $1.05 ]]></description>
