		<description><![CDATA[Online social networking mogul Facebook (FB) is scheduled to start trading on the  Nasdaq Stock Market today at around 11.00 a.m. Yesterday, its much-hyped initial public offering (IPO) yielded approximately $16 billion from 33 investment banks, led by Morgan Stanley (MS). Given Facebook’s size, the investment banks underwriting the issue are expected to charge as much as 3% of the proceeds as their commission. At the time of IPO filing, Facebook’s price band was $28 to $35 per share. However, earlier this week (May 15, 2012), Facebook raised the price range to $34 to $38 per share and the very next day (May 16, 2012) the company increased the size of the offering by 25% to 421 million, representing a 15% float. Facebook eventually priced its IPO at $38.00 per ]]></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>

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. Around 56% of sales were generated in North America, representing a sequential decline of 25.0% and a year-over-year increase of 35.9%. The balance came from the International segment, which ]]></description>

		<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[The rating downgrade of Spain and a slew of broadly favorable earnings reports will try to grab investors’ attention today, but they are unlikely to take the spotlight away from this morning’s mixed first quarter GDP report. Despite the GDP reading’s strong internals, the ‘headline’ miss will likely be the major driver of today’s trading action. The disappointing aspect of the report is that it is not weak enough to warrant Fed action, but also not strong enough to make investors feel good about the Fed economy. My overall takeaway from the report is that looking at it from the perspective of ‘what Bernanke will do,’ it is not QE-friendly.

		<description><![CDATA[Netflix Inc. (NFLX) is scheduled to release its fiscal first-quarter 2012 results after the closing bell on Monday, April 23, 2012. In the run up to the earnings results, no substantial movement in analysts’ estimates for the quarter was noticed. Prior Quarter Recap Rebound in subscriber growth helped Netflix report robust fourth quarter results. At the end of fourth quarter 2011, total numbers of subscribers (Domestic and International) were 26.3 million, an increase of 31.5% from the prior-year quarter. Most importantly, subscriber growth rebounded in the reported quarter after the company lost 800K subscribers in the third quarter. Domestic revenue increased 43.0% from the year-ago quarter to $846.6 million, which surpassed management’s guided range of $816.0 to $845.0 million. International operations generated revenues of $29.0 million, up 27.8% year over ]]></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. The company’s global smartphone market share fell 12% in the last quarter compared with 19% in the year-ago quarter. The situation is worst in the US, where revenues declined 7% year over 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>

		<description><![CDATA[Amazon.com (AMZN) is one of the largest online retailers in the world and despite its high market share continues to grow strongly. However, the company&#8217;s decision to significantly increase the number of fulfillment centers to cater to demand across different markets will likely continue to negatively impact its earnings. Stiff competition and the corresponding negative impact on prices are also expected to continue. We expect that current investments will drive the next growth phase, but it is not clear how long this investment phase will continue, which makes us incrementally cautious. We are therefore downgrading the shares from Neutral to Underperform.

		<description><![CDATA[The largest U.S. mobile service provider Verizon Communications (VZ) has formed a joint venture with Coinstar Inc. (CSTR) to launch nationwide video rental and online streaming services comparable to those of its rival Netflix Inc. (NFLX). The venture would combine Coinstar&#8217;s Redbox new release DVDs and Blu-ray disc rentals with an on-demand streaming and download service from Verizon. The service is slated to be introduced in the second half of the year. While the financial terms were not disclosed, Verizon will hold a majority 65% stake in the venture while Coinstar own the remaining 35%. The success of both Verizon and Coinstar will depend on the pricing of the video streaming services and the quality offered in the booming subscription video service market. The alliance would strengthen their respective competitive ]]></description>

(NFLX) reported fourth quarter 2011 diluted earnings of 73 cents per share, breezing past the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 55 cents per share and management’s guidance range of 36 cents to 70 cents. However, EPS declined 16.1% year over year, primarily due to higher operating expenses in the quarter. Total revenue increased 47.0% year over year to $875.6 million, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $862.0 million. Most importantly, subscriber growth rebounded in the reported quarter after the company lost 800K subscribers in the third quarter. Shares surged 15.87% to $110.12 in after-hours trading, following the earnings release. Quarter Details Domestic revenue increased 43.0% from the year-ago quarter to $846.6 million, which surpassed management’s guided range of $816.0 to $845.0 million.

		<description><![CDATA[eBay Inc. (EBAY) is scheduled to announce its fourth quarter fiscal 2011 results on January 18, 2012, and we notice no movement in analyst estimates. Prior-Quarter Synopsis eBay’s third quarter 2011 earnings per share (EPS) of 40 cents (excluding one-time items and including stock-based compensation) were level with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The company reported gross revenue of $2.97 billion, up 7.4% sequentially and better than the Consensus expectation of $2.91 billion. Over 86% of eBay’s total revenue was transactions-based, while the remaining 14% came from marketing services. Despite encouraging revenue growth, demand trends appeared sluggish in the third quarter. The pro forma gross margin was 69.0%, down 276 basis points (bps) sequentially and 186 bps year over year due to higher transaction expenses, partially on account of a rising ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Steve McDonald, Investment U Contributing Editor Monday, December 19th, 2011 The street may be underestimating Apple’s (Nasdaq: AAPL) 2012 “iProducts” sales by as much as 40 percent. Apple’s numbers have been amazing so far, but if the new numbers are correct, the stock price is going to explode. Apple is shaping up to be next year’s big story, again, and our aversion to what appears to be pricey stocks will have those who ignore this one watching the money train leave the station – again. Most stock buyers are in love with the $7 tech idea that can return 40 or 50 percent in a heartbeat. Stocks that sell for $380 per share just aren’t on most tech investors’ Christmas lists. It cuts against our grain to pay that ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Does the start of holiday sales suggest a break from the phase when US consumers were reeling under a series of macro-economic shocks? For now, the initial data released by National Retail Federation suggests that Santa has a bagful of gifts for the majority of retailers this holiday season. Early reports hinted that the retailers have won over prolonged macro-economic uncertainty. Shoppers shrugged off their economic woes to mark record holiday weekend sales of $52.4 billion. Supporting the view, data released by the Conference Board reveals that Consumer Confidence Index increased to 56.0 in November from 40.9 in October (its highest level since July, when the index reached 59.2). Further, data from the Commerce Department noted consumer spending to have recorded its fastest growth in third quarter 2011. The quarter ]]></description>

First, it debuted the search engine, which changed how we use the internet so significantly that English dictionaries everywhere now include “Google” [goo-guh'l] as an official entry (incidentally both as a noun and a verb).

		<description><![CDATA[Prologis Inc. (PLD), a leading industrial real estate investment trust (REIT), has recently fully leased ‘Prologis Tolleson Distribution Center 1’ – a 302,600 square foot warehouse property in Tolleson, Arizona, to an unnamed retailer for an undisclosed amount. The leased facility was earlier acquired in August 2011 for $9.95 million in an all-cash transaction. The lease-up of the distribution facility within a short span of time highlights the inherent quality of the asset portfolio of Prologis and signifies the strong demand of large blocks of industrial space in the Phoenix sub-market. To capitalize on this opportunity, Prologis presently has approximately 3 million square feet of operating assets in Phoenix, as well as a land pool to accommodate approximately 2.5 million square feet of additional development in the region.

		<description><![CDATA[GameStop Corporation (GME), the video game and entertainment software retailer, recently posted third quarter 2011 results. Street analysts had more than a week to ponder the news. In the subsequent paragraphs, we cover the recent earnings announcement, analysts’ estimate revisions as well as the Zacks Rank and long-term recommendation on the stock. Earnings Report Review Strong digital sales helped GameStop post quarterly earnings of 39 cents per share, up 2.6% year over year from 38 cents a share.  However, reported earnings were in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. GameStop, which faces stiff competition from Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN), reported total revenue of $1,946.8 million, up 2.5% from $1,899.2 in the year-ago quarter. However, total revenue remained below the Zacks Consensus Revenue Estimate of $1,963 million. For the fourth quarter of 2011, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Customers buying goods from Walmart Inc. (WMT) can heave a sigh of relief as the world’s biggest retailer teams up with online giant Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) to eliminate cumbersome packaging by manufacturers. The two retail giants are also pushing other biggies like Procter &#38; Gamble Company (PG) to design user-friendly packaging materials and do away with nearly impenetrable plastic packaging, known as clamshells. These clamshell packages use excessive amounts of harmful plastic such as polyvinyl chloride. In order to make the packages tamper-resistant and also enable adequate display of the contents, manufacturers are often driven to packages that are difficult to open and come with excess packing materials, wire ties and plastic bindings. Cumbersome packaging has been a problem for some time, with both retailers and manufacturers receiving complaints from ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The National Retail Federation (“NRF”), an industry trade group, projects a 2.8% growth in sales, amounting to $465.6 billion, during the current November to December holiday season, lower than the 5.2% rise in the corresponding period of the previous year. Online retail may increase 15% to touch $37.6 billion. These estimates reveal a rebound in consumer expenditure, which amounts to about 70% of the U.S. economy. Brick-and-mortar retailers ran extended hours post Thanksgiving in order to snatch some business from Internet retailers who continue to grow at a brisk pace. The growth trajectory of online sellers remains intact despite huge destruction of consumer wealth during the financial crisis in 2008 and tepid recovery since then. On the other hand, retail icons for middle-class shoppers, J. C. Penney Company (JCP) and ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is said that opportunities are never lost &#8212; someone else will catch the one you miss. And the saying remains true to the equity market. No one wants to miss a good opportunity to make exceptional profits from stock markets. So, is this the time to take the plunge? Or should we wait for the markets to fall further? Well, considering the increasing concerns related to the European economy, it&#8217;s hard to predict the direction of market movement. However, given the significant exposure of U.S. banks to weak European countries, it would be difficult for the country to escape unscathed. So, with the debt crisis picture in the Eurozone getting dirtier, the risk of another major worldwide stock market slump is sky high. Coupled with our own unrelenting problems ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With Thanksgiving drawing to a close and Black Friday shopping gathering steam, this is clearly a retail weekend. Brick-and-mortar outlets, such as Target Corp (TGT), BestBuy Inc (BBY), Macy’s Inc. (M) and Kohl’s Corp (KSS) opened their stores at midnight yesterday, vying with each other to catch the first shoppers. Shoppers, too, have been lining up to bust the doors for the best of the selection and deals. While consumer dollars will no doubt pour in, this year is different from others. Mainly because a number of traditional retailers, such as Gap Inc. (GPS) and J.C. Penney Company (JCP) have not been doing so well and may not have promo offers available for long. Consumers on their part are also more cautious and have started comparing the offline shopping experience ]]></description>

StratusGroup primarily offers UV flexography, UV offset, UV rotary, digital and conventional offset for a range of custom products, including folding carton, insert and multi-pack. The company also offers labeling solutions for bottles. StratusGroup boasts a large clientele including alcoholic beverage company Seagram. Donnelley believes that the addition of StratusGroup’s technology to its family of solutions will expand its consumer packaging customer base. We consider this a wise move, given the fact that the traditional commercial printing segment is on a secular decline.

		<description><![CDATA[Rumor has it that Amazon.com (AMZN) will be launching a smartphone late next year. Well, may not be a rumor exactly, since the Citigroup (C) analyst reporting the development mentioned that his supply chain checks suggested that such a device was in fact being developed in collaboration with Foxconn International Holdings. However, the largest contract cellphone maker may not be the one to ultimately make the product for Amazon, which may rely on its tablet maker Hon Hai Precision for the purpose. The phone is expected to use Texas Instruments’ (TXN) OMAP 4 processor and Qualcomm (QCOM) baseband chips. The question that comes to mind is, what could Amazon possibly be thinking? The company is no more a smartphone maker than a tablet maker. So this is not its core ]]></description>

While the number is not adjusted for inflation (it is, but only for seasonality and holidays) it is still a strong showing. It was also better than the expected rise of 0.4% for the month. Retail sales is a very broad measure of consumer spending, not just what is going on at the shopping malls. What happens on the car lots can make a big difference. That said, excluding autos sales, they were up 0.6% for the month after rising 0.5% in September (revised down from up 0.6%) and are up 7.3% year over year.

The big cheeses revealed that they’re the most pessimistic they’ve been in two and a half years. Almost 60 percent of the respondents said business conditions in their industries were deteriorating. That compares with the 12.5 percent who indicated things were getting better. In the last survey, which was conducted in May, only 8.5 percent of CEOs were pessimistic. The Business Council is an independent group of 150 CEOs who consult with high-level government officials, including the President. Its members are a list of household-name CEOs. Among the group’s Executive Committee are J.P. Morgan Chase’s (NYSE: JPM) Jamie Dimon, Founding Partner of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts &#38; Co. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The benchmarks’ three-day rally hit a roadblock as the lack of conviction among investors about European leaders finding a solution to the region’s debt crisis on Wednesday’s summit and disappointing domestic corporate earnings weighed down the markets. Markets reversed their winning streak and posted heavy losses with the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) plummeting 205 points or 1.7% to settle at 11,708.44. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) declined 2.0% to finish at 1,229.23. The tech-laden Nasdaq Composite Index plunged 2.3% and closed at 2,638.42. Just a day after the fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) dropped below the key-level of 30, incremental anxiety among investors once again took it 10% higher to trade over 32. However, on a day of sharp declines, the markets continued the trend of low ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[All eyes are on Europe today, where leaders are expected to announce the much-delayed plan to tackle the common currency&#8217;s problems. And while we wait for news out of Europe, the positive tone of this morning&#8217;s earnings reports from a number of key companies and the monthly Durable Goods reading should keep the market mood favorable. Last night&#8217;s Amazon (AMZN) miss notwithstanding, the overall tone of earnings reports thus far in this reporting cycle in general and this morning in particular has been reassuringly positive. There are still some lingering questions about next year&#8217;s earnings expectations, but overall the earnings picture remains strong. This morning&#8217;s September Durable Goods report came roughly in-line with expectations on the &#8216;headline&#8217; basis, but was significantly better than expected on the &#8216;core&#8217; basis. The &#8216;core&#8217; number, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Amazon.com (AMZN) is the latest large-cap Internet tech leader to miss earnings estimates in its 3rd quarter report after the close of regular trading Tuesday. The e-Commerce titan posted EPS of 14 cents when the Zacks Consensus Estimate expected 24 cents per share. Revenues of $10.9 billion were within the range of the company&#8217;s expectations. As a result, AMZN shares are getting pounded in after-market trading &#8212; down as much as 16% at one point minutes after the announcement. This follows a 4.4% drop as of the closing bell. That said, Amazon.com has been one of the biggest successes of 2011 to this point. The stock was up 26% year-to-date prior to the company&#8217;s earnings announcement. For some insight on how traders may be handling Amazon&#8217;s earnings report, see Kevin ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Amazon.com’s (AMZN) third quarter earnings missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 10 cents, or 41.7%. While revenue growth remains strong, Amazon’s bottom line was again impacted by higher expenses. We continue to believe in the company’s strategy, since we think the growth in the e-commerce segment is sustainable. However, investors were clearly disappointed, pulling share prices down 12.44% in after-hours trade. Revenue Amazon reported revenue of $10.88 billion, up 9.7% sequentially and 43.9% year over year (exceeding the mid-point of management’s guided range but missing consensus expectations of around $10.93 billion). Revenue growth was 39% excluding favorable currency impact. Nearly 55% of sales were generated in North America, representing a sequential increase of 9.7% and a year-over-year increase of 43.8%. The balance came from the International segment, which grew 9.7% ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Stocks have been gaining ground all over again recently &#8212; up almost 4% in the last three days &#8212; even as tangible positive news has been hard to come by. Optimism has been growing in recent days that the Europeans are finally moving toward a TARP-like solution to get a handle on their problems, but we have yet to see any official confirmation of those rumors and discussions. It is hard to envision the rally sustaining itself without fundamental support, though today&#8217;s favorable Durable Goods report would qualify as such. This morning&#8217;s August Durable Goods report came roughly inline with expectations on a headline basis, but was significantly better than expected on the core basis. The core number, which strips out the volatile transportation and defense equipment, serves as a ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Citrix Systems Inc. (CTXS) declared strong financial results for the second quarter of 2011, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimates. Global trends toward virtualization and cloud computing are facilitating Citrix to report impressive results. Management raised its financial forecast for full-year 2011. As a leading provider of enterprise software with desktop virtualization at its core, the company will benefit from the latest trend of globalization. We believe the virtualization market will flourish in the near future with desktop virtualization as its central point. Moreover, the company’s major products such as XenDesktop, NetScaler, and Online Collaboration are generating huge revenue. Citrix recently completed the acquisition of Cloud.com Inc., a leading developer of software infrastructure platform for cloud computing service providers. The CloudStack product suite of Cloud.com offers an open-source platform-as-a-serviceenvironment that enables ]]></description>

Estimates for the total subscriber base declined by a million. The new estimate pins the company’s DVD-only subscriber count at 2.2 million, down from the previously projected estimate of 3 million. Netflix also lowered its estimates for its streaming subscriber base to 9.8 million, down from the previously-guided estimate of 10 million. However, the company retained its projection of 12 million customers in the third quarter using both services. Netflix also has not changed its financial forecast for the third quarter despite the projected loss of its subscriber base.

		<description><![CDATA[Netflix Inc. (NFLX) recently announced that the company is in the process of splitting its business into two separate entities. Netflix will be carving out the DVD-by-mail business into a wholly owned subsidiary, which will be called Qwikster, while the streaming-only business will retain the “Netflix” brand. Qwikster will be headed by Mr. Andy Rendich, who has been leading the DVD service for the last four years. Qwikster will have separate user accounts, movie ratings and billing. Qwikster will also be renting video game DVDs for Nintendo Co.’s Wii, Sony Corp.’s (SNE) PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Corp.’s (MSFT) Xbox 360 consoles. Netflix, which started off as a DVD-by-mail company, has achieved significant subscriber growth over the last few years. As of June 30, 2011, the company’s total subscribers (Domestic and ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The low-priced leader in the U.S pay TV industry, Dish Network Corp. (DISH), in an attempt to capitalize on the recent price hike from the leading on-demand internet streaming media Netflix, Inc. (NFLX) plans to announce its new video streaming service rates on September 23, 2011. Recently, DISH Network acquired Blockbuster Inc for $228 milion. The acquisition of Blockbuster enables DISH Network to offer several movie streaming services over the Internet, thus efficiently countering the competitive threats from cheap online movie distribution companies like Netflix and Hulu. Netflix is one of the leading online video distribution company with a huge subscriber base of around 25.6 million across the U.S. The company recently changed its business model by charging $7.99 to subscribers opting for unlimited DVDs-by-mail and $7.99 for unlimited video ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Friday, U.S. markets inched up to close in the green with the S&#38;P 500 recording its highest rally since July 2011. Hopes of EU overcoming its sovereign debt crisis gathered strength after Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said US would join other EU leaders to seek out a solution to the euro zone debt situation. Markets further rose on news that United Technologies Corporation is looking to finance a major U.S. acquisition. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gained 0.7% or 75.91 points and finished the day at 11,509.09 marking its longest winning streak since 1st July. For the week, the blue chip index rose 4.7%. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) was up 0.6% and settled at 1,216.01 with telecom and utilities emerging as the biggest gainers while ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Retail and food service sales were unchanged in August, below expectations of a 0.2% increase. July was revised down from an increase of 0.5% to an increase of 0.3%. Total retail sales are up 7.2% from a year ago. This was a disappointing report, and shows the consumer is still quite cautious. This year, &#8220;back to school&#8221; did not mean &#8220;back to the mall.&#8221; The Retail Sales report covers far more than just the malls, however, and is a very broad-based measure of consumer spending. Since consumer spending makes up 70% of the economy, it is a very important number. That overstates things a bit since retail sales are mostly about the sale of goods, not services, and services make up two thirds of what consumers spend. Still, it is ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the largest online retailers, Amazon.com Inc (AMZN), continues to oppose sales tax collection by offering to create jobs instead. Thanks to the weak jobs scenario and consistently depressing jobs reports, regulators that had once been hungry to narrow deficits are now seriously considering the cost of job creation. A few states appear to have taken the bait (South Carolina and Tennessee) according to a Forbes report, although agreements are far from concrete and are now up against much controversy and opposition from brick and mortar outfits. Wares from these retailers appear more expensive when compared with those from online retailers, since they are forced by law to collect taxes on behalf of their respective states. As the growth in online retail continues at a rapid pace, largely at ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Apple Inc. (AAPL) shares slipped $19.08 (5.07%) to $357.10 in after hours trading, following the resignation of its maverick Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Mr. Steve Jobs. Subsequently, Apple announced that Chief Operating Officer (COO) Mr. Tim Cook will serve as the full-time CEO. However, Steve Jobs will continue to hold his position as the Chairman of the company. He was on medical leave since January 17, 2011 after combating a rare form of cancer since 2003 and survived a liver transplant in 2009. Mr. Jobs, who is also the co-founder of Apple, served the company for the last 14 years. It was his second stint with Apple beginning in 1997 (the first ended in 1985, when he was unceremoniously forced to resign), which saw a tremendous turnaround in the company’s ]]></description>
