		<description><![CDATA[“Nobody ever got rich off of asset allocation.” That’s what Todd Schoenberger, Managing Principal at The BlackBay Group, told Yahoo! Finance readers recently. Instead, he advises, it’s much better to hold just two stock investments – specifically Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) and Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE: XOM). Exxon, after all, has $60 billion in cash at its disposal and Apple has $110 billion, more than enough to let both of them coast for some time. Similarly, they’re both stellar companies with impressive assets to offer investors… from Apple’s amazing stock price run-up over the years to Exxon’s steady dividend payouts. But what he forgets is that there is no “sure thing” investment in life. Sure, both companies have performed excessively well so far. But the past can only offer so ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) is scheduled to report its first quarter fiscal 2012 results on April 26, 2012. We witness both downward and upward movements in analyst estimates in the build-up to the release. Prior-Quarter Synopsis Amazon reported weak fourth-quarter revenue, but earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 24 cents, or 150%, on improved operating margins and a lower share count. The company reported revenues of $17.43 billion, up 60.3% sequentially and 34.6% year over year (in the middle of management’s guided range but missing Consensus expectations by around 4.3%). Key strategies for driving revenue growth were competitive pricing, free shipping, user experience on Amazon properties and the Amazon Prime program. The gross margin shrunk 280 bps sequentially to 20.7%, but was up 34 bps from the year-ago quarter. The ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[AT&#38;T Inc. (T), the second largest mobile service provider in the U.S., reported first quarter 2012 adjusted earnings of 60 cents per share, surpassing both the Zacks Consensus Estimate and the year-ago earnings by 3 cents. The company made a strong start to the year, with mid-single-digit growth in operating income and earnings. Lower sales of Apple Inc.’s (AAPL) iPhone during the quarter helped it to cut expenses that resulted in more profits but hurt subscriber growth to some extent. Further, the out performance was attributable to the healthy wireless and wireline businesses. Revenue grew 1.8% year over year to $31.82 billion, outpacing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $31.81 billion. Improved performance in the quarter was mainly driven by continued 4G mobile broadband sales, strong wireless network performance and improved ]]></description>

In 2011, just 1.65% of Canada’s crude was exported to countries other than the U.S., but Kinder Morgan has initiated a $5-billion pipeline project that’ll redirect Canadian oil to the West Coast for export to Asia. According to the Journal, this decision was accelerated by Obama’s decision to shelf the Keystone pipeline project that would have sent the crude south to the U.S. This new pipeline will increase the amount of oil piped to the West Coast ]]></description>

The company came in 14 cents, or 303.7% higher, surprising the street and sending share prices soaring 13.8% in after-hours trading. Revenue Amazon reported revenue of $13.19 billion, down 24.4% sequentially from the seasonally supported fourth quarter and up 33.8% from the year-ago quarter. The revenue was at the high end of the guidance for the quarter, which was $12.0-13.4 billion (up 27.1% sequentially, or up 28.8% year over year at the mid-point) and higher than consensus expectations by around 2.2%. Year-over-year revenue growth was 34% excluding unfavorable currency impact.

		<description><![CDATA[For the second time this week, one of the world’s biggest and most well known companies blew past quarterly expectations at a time when many were doubtful. On Tuesday it was Apple (AAPL), and today it was Amazon (AMZN), the world’s largest online retailer. AMZN announced earnings per share of 28 cents for the first quarter, compared to the Zacks Consensus Estimate at 7 cents. That accounts for a surprise of 300%!. Some analysts were expecting a loss in the quarter. As anticipated, the result was far below the year-ago result of 44 cents. AMZN has proved that it isn’t afraid to take short-term hits in order for long-term gains. The company’s operating expenses have been moving higher as it expands into new markets. Specifically, the company has been increasing ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Garmin Ltd (GRMN), the maker of portable navigation devices, has opened offices in Shanghai, China; Stuttgart, Germany; and Yokohama, Japan. The idea is to get closer to all the major auto manufacturing markets of the world to sell built-in devices for automobiles including navigation, telematics and infotainment. Garmin has been the most celebrated supplier of personal navigation devices (PND) that were largely used in automobiles. However, the incorporation of navigation into smartphones started to eat away its core market. Garmin tried to enter the smartphone market itself, but given the stiff competition from stalwarts like Apple (AAPL), Google (GOOG) through devices from LG, HTC and Samsung, and Research In Motion (RIMM), Garmin could not create a niche for itself. Others in the space were increasingly selling navigation as software for ]]></description>

The utilization of Apple Inc.&#8217;s (AAPL) iPad in healthcare is growing. It is reported that a significant proportion of physicians own an iPad or compatible device, which is higher than the general population. The Wand holds intuitive appeal and permits comfortable usage with little assistance. Two benefits from its utilization are rapid access to data and efficient workflow.

Revenue and net income plunged in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, future financial outlook is grim, and the stock price is at its trough. All these negative events took place despite the fact that the previous quarter included December Holiday sales. So far, Research In Motion has failed to provide any specific time frame when its free-fall will finally end and is delaying the launch its much-hyped QNX based phones. Management has decided to refrain from providing any specific financial guidance in future. We believe this decision highlights how grave the situation is as the company is unsure of its future prospects. Research In Motion is facing severe problems from several ]]></description>

Research In Motion has consistently struggled ever since Apple Inc’s (AAPL) iPhone hit the market. The situation worsened further when Google Inc. (GOOG) launched its Android software, which was adopted by several handset manufacturers. Presently, Research In Motion’s BlackBerry operating system has become obsolete and continues to lose market share. Moreover, the recent launch of Apple’siPhone 4S has further hampered its market share.

		<description><![CDATA[Our analysts were right about Apple (AAPL) declaring its dividend and surging past $600/share. But how do they feel about the future of Apple? All I can say is… Our analysts are the real deal. Last year, Investment U Associate Investment Director Marc Lichtenfeld and Senior Analyst Steve McDonald made bold predictions about the world’s largest tech company Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL). And already this year, both of their forecasts have come true… Prediction #1: Apple to $600 Steve McDonald’s prediction came first on December 19th. Here’s the condensed version of what he had to say: “A recent survey of buying trends of iProducts for Morgan Stanley by AlphaWise was full of upside surprises. “The street may be underestimating Apple’s 2012 ‘iProducts’ sales by as much as 40 percent. “If this ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The present wireless market is ready for the incipient boom in the wireless data space with expanding broadband services. Data traffic is growing in leaps and bounds and has more than doubled over the last three years. As a result, U.S. carriers are finding it increasingly difficult to manage rising mobile data traffic. The situation becomes even worse with the growing popularity of Apple Inc.’s (AAPL) iPhone and Google Inc.’s (GOOG) Android smartphones. Stiff competitive pressure and limited wireless spectrum licenses add to the difficulties. The carriers are in need of additional airwaves to expand their high-speed services and support 4G Long-Term Evolution (LTE) mobile broadband services. As a result, the wireless industry in 2012 is intent on tapping unused spectrum to expand their capacity. Sprint Nextel Corp. (S), which ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Energy and basic materials took the benchmarks modestly higher on Friday, snapping a three-day losing streak. However, meager gains failed to prevent the Dow and S&#38;P 500 from suffering their worst weekly performance this year. Global economic concerns weighed on investors through the week and their influence carried onto Friday. Moreover, tepid housing data made matters worse on Friday, limiting gains. On Friday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) gained 0.3% and closed the day at 13,080.73. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) was also up 0.3% and finished Friday’s trading session at 1,397.11. The tech-laden Nasdaq Composite Index edged up 0.1% and settled at 3,067.92.

By the closing bell, the energy sector had dented the S&#38;P 500, while investors’ apprehensions about Hewlett-Packard’s decision of merging its printing and personal computing businesses dragged down the Dow. However, tech shares boosted the Nasdaq into the positive zone. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) dropped 0.3% to settle at 13,124.62. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) edged down 0.2% to finish yesterday’s trading session at 1,402.89.

		<description><![CDATA[Given the growing market for Google’s (GOOG) Android-based smartphones, Sprint Nextel Corporation (S) is adding another such device to its existing line of Android smartphones. The company launched ZTE Fury, an Android 2.3 Gingerbread smartphone at $19.99 after a rebate of $50.00. The USP of the phone not only lies in having an Android operating system but also in its pricing which remains pocket friendly. All this while, Sprint primarily focused on introducing top-end devices, like including Apple’s (AAPL) iPhone 4 and 4S in October last year. These devices have remained accretive for the carrier, generating solid margin gains. But their high subsidies, representing nearly 40% of the device’s cost continues to be a significant headwind going forward. As a result, we believe that company’s interest in marketing handsets like ]]></description>

While you may think you know everything about Apple, there are some nuances about the product cycle and the expectations for the company that make it unique. It’s a company that everyone says is cheap, but it never seems to get too lofty in its valuation. In the past week alone the company was sued by Samsung, got a new price target of $710 by Barclays Capital and announced the release of their newer, faster and higher definition 4G iPad. By the way, you can reserve a new iPad today starting at $499, for delivery on March 16th. In the bullpen is ]]></description>

Sprint will sell notes due in 2017 and 2020 through a private placement, expected to completed by March 1. This sale of notes is in addition to the $4 billion raised in November last year.

		<description><![CDATA[Apple’s share price exceeded $500 this week, giving it the largest market cap of any U.S. company. Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) so successfully sells computers, phones and other electronic gadgets that recently announced fourth-quarter profits soared 118% on a 73% increase in revenue. This is unheard of for a $475-billion company. To put this in perspective, earnings at the companies in the S&#38;P 500 stock index are on track to post a 6.6% year-on-year rise for the fourth quarter. Yet once Apple’s earnings are factored out, the expected fourth-quarter gain shrivels to just 2.8%. This so skews results that many Wall Street analysts are now stripping Apple from the index before weighing valuations and making forecasts. Of course, it’s just a matter of time before Apple’s torrid growth begins to wane. ]]></description>

Net income was up 20% year over year and 33% sequentially, indicating Qualcomm’s operating efficiency. Management is quite confident that it will be able to maintain its current pace of top and bottom line growth for at least the next five years. There are primarily four reasons for this positive outlook: (1) gradual introduction of 4G LTE enabled mobile handsets in the U.S., Japan, and South Korea; (2) massive growth of 3G smartphones in the emerging markets, particularly in China, where the company has a strong foothold; (3) Qualcomm’s growing association with Apple Inc.

Garmin is deferring lifetime maps, connected services and premium traffic over their economic lives. Net deferrals were 26 cents a share in the last quarter. Revenue Garmin’s fourth-quarter revenue of $909.6 million was up 36.4% sequentially and 8.6% year over year, helped by positive seasonality that pushed up sales of both personal navigation devices (PNDs) and outdoor/fitness products.

The company has formed a new policy of curtailing data speeds to better manage its data services on its network. For an unlimited plan user through AT&#38;T’s smartphone’s downloading data would now mean a struggle as the company has axed approximately 99% of the data speed in an attempt to limit the “unlimited” services. The company’s new act is expected to upset around 17 million of its customers under the unlimited plan. Complaints have already started pouring in for speed slowdown after using only 1 to 2 gigabytes by customers. However, on the legal front, the company is playing fair as it has not debarred the unlimited ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Following the second quarter 2012 earnings announcement on January 19, more than half the analysts covering Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) have made downward revisions to their estimates. The reason for the downward movement can be traced to the negative affect on the PC supply chain due to hard-disk drive (HDD) shortages and macroeconomic uncertainties that are expected to continue well into 2012. Last Quarter Synopsis Microsoft’s second quarter results were a couple of cents higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate. However, the client PC business was impacted by the Thai floods, although all the other areas of the business saw good growth. Microsoft’s revenue was up sequentially as well as from the year-ago quarter at $20.89 billion, led by a triple-digit growth in the Entertainment &#38; Devices segment and all other ]]></description>

However, shares gained just 0.77% after the company reported, despite losing 10.74% during the day, reflecting continued challenges in the company’s display and specialty materials businesses. Revenue Corning reported revenue of $1.89 billion, which was down 9.1% sequentially and up 6.9% year over year. The stronger yen helped results slightly in the last quarter. Revenue by Segment The Display Technologies segment generated around 41% of total revenue. The segment was down 4.3% sequentially and up 4.0% year over year. Samsung Precision (“SCP”) LCD glass volumes were down 7% sequentially (although higher than the revised guidance), as a major customer purchased below the committed amount. Volumes in the wholly-owned business were in line with expectations. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Semiconductor Industry serves as a driver, enabler and indicator of technological progress. Developments in the industry determine the way we work, transport ourselves, communicate, entertain ourselves and respond to our environment. The PCs we work on, the cars we drive, the phones we communicate with, the electronic gadgets on which we watch movies, listen to music and play games on, and the planes and weapons used to transport or protect us use semiconductor devices. As environmental issues have become more of a concern today, semiconductor devices are being made to reduce power consumption, reduce heat dissipation, capture solar energy, create more efficient lighting solutions and so forth. The past decade has seen big changes in the industry, with most players streamlining operations and transferring more routine production to low-cost ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Steve Jobs would be very proud… Last week, Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) reported its fiscal first-quarter results for 2012, and the results were nothing short of astounding: Quarterly revenue hit an all-time high of $46.3 billion. Earnings rose to never-before-seen levels. iPhone, iPad and Mac sales also all reached new highs. Even more, Apple’s CEO Tim Cook says this is only the beginning. He states, “Apple’s momentum is incredibly strong, and we have some amazing new products in the pipeline.” One of these innovations, the company announced, will almost certainly be the introduction of near-field communication, or NFC, technology in new iPhones and iPads this year. And for the NFC market, this means a huge boost is just around the corner… NFC Tech Set for Major Growth We’ve covered NFC technology ]]></description>

The quarter’s earnings were a penny below the Zacks Consensus Estimate but 2 cents ahead of the year-ago earnings. Adjusted earnings per share excluded $1.20 related to non-cash pension items and 3 cents for the early extinguishment of debt during the reported quarter. Including these special items, Verizon generated a loss of 71 cents compared to earnings of 93 cents in the year-ago quarter. In fiscal 2011, adjusted earnings per share grew 3.4% year over year to $2.15. Total revenue increased 7.7% year over year to $28.44 billion in the fourth quarter and surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $28.43 billion.

		<description><![CDATA[SanDisk Corp. (SNDK) is scheduled to announce its fourth quarter fiscal 2011 results on January 25, 2012 after market close, and we do not see any variation in the analysts’ estimates at this point. Looking Back SanDisk posted impressive third quarter 2011 earnings of $1.10 per share, handily beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 13 cents. The improved earnings were attributable to strong revenue growth. Increasing demand for SanDisk’s flash memory products in the emerging markets, as well as solid performance by its retail and OEM (original equipment manufacturer) channels globally helped the company post a 14.8% year-over-year revenue growth. Despite the higher revenue growth rate, margins came in below the year-ago level, mostly due to the negative impact of the yen exchange rate, start-up cost for a new fab ]]></description>

By the end of the week we should have a very good handle on just how weak or strong this earnings season will be.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) dropped 0.1% to close the day at 12,708.82. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) was up 0.05% and settled almost unchanged at 1,316.

		<description><![CDATA[Microsoft Corporation’s (MSFT) second quarter results were a couple of cents higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The last month has seen 10 analysts lowering estimates for the quarter, which took the Zacks Consensus down a penny. Therefore, without the revisions, Microsoft would have exceeded expectations. While the client PC business was slightly impacted by the Thai flooding, all other areas of the business saw good growth. Investors reacted as may be expected, taking share prices up 2.42% in after-hours trading. Revenue Revenue of $20.89 billion was up 20.2% sequentially and 4.7% from last year, just short of consensus expectations of $20.93 billion. Growth in the last quarter was again led by the Entertainment &#38; Devices segment (up triple digits sequentially), with all segments other than Windows growing strong double-digits. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Intel Corp (INTC) reported fourth quarter earnings of 67 cents per share that beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 6 cents. The surprise was driven by strength in the server segment, a richer mix of business, lower-than-expected taxes and helped by the fact that estimates dropped 9 cents over the past two months. Revenue Intel’s reported revenue was $13.9 billion, within management’s guidance range of $$14.0 billion (+/-$500 million). Revenue for the quarter dropped 2.4% sequentially, while increasing 21.2% year over year. As indicated by the HDD suppliers Western Digital (WDC) and Seagate (STX), as well as PC companies Hewlett Packard Company (HPQ) and Dell Inc (DELL), the floods in Thailand had a significant impact on the PC market toward the end of the year.
