		<description><![CDATA[Earnings Preview – Week of April 30th The focus this week will be on the labor market, with the April non-farm payroll report coming out on Friday. Many will be hoping that this report will provide confirmation that last month’s disappointment was just a one-off event and the positive trend line of the preceding months is still in place. Jobs aside, we are still in the midst of the first quarter 2012 reporting season, though we have crossed the mid-point of the cycle with about 60% of the results already in. With another 124 S&#38;P 500 companies reporting results in the coming week, we will have results from roughly 84% of the companies by the end of this week. The first quarter earnings season has turned out to be much ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Stocks in the Consumer Staples sector carried out their traditional defensive role as the broader equity markets came under pressure over concerns about the prolonged weak US economy and the debt crisis in Europe. But the group has been a laggard as momentum returned to the market over the last three months. In 2011, the sector index grew 10.5% versus a flat finish for the S&#38;P 500 index. The group’s defensive attributes stem from its ability to buck sluggish economic growth as food, beverage, household products and cosmetics companies that manufacture and market non-durable consumables are considered essential to daily life, such as food, drink, toothpaste, deodorants, toilet paper, etc. Although staples’ top-line is expected to continue the uptrend of the last few quarters going forward, margins will remain under ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We have downgraded our long-term recommendation on Avon Products, Inc. (AVP) to Underperform following the weak quarterly performance in the third quarter of 2011. The quarterly earnings of $0.38 per share fell short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.46 and dipped 7.3% from the year-ago quarter battered by increased product costs. The North American market continues to be sluggish in the ongoing fiscal 2011. Moreover, the company&#8217;s initiatives to change the product mix and reposition the business in the U.S. market will require significant expenditure to support increased advertising and promotional activities, which may dent its margins. Furthermore, Avon is a highly leveraged company, limiting its financial flexibility to drive future growth. Additionally, the company faces stiff competition from other well established players and has significant exposure to foreign ]]></description>

The fundamental explanation for this behavior is that food, beverage, household products and cosmetics companies manufacture and market brand name consumable products, most of which are considered essential to daily life, such as food, drink, toothpaste, deodorants, toilet paper, etc. Since product demand is relatively stable, the companies generally report earnings in line with expectations.

However, the gains were limited by falling energy prices which were hit by China’s interest rate increase intended to control rising inflation. Fast-food giant McDonald’s (NYSE:MCD) has reported strong sales for the month of January around the world except for the US. Reacting to this news, share prices of McDonald’s increased 2.6%. The Dow rose by 0.59% and closed at 12,233.15. The S&#38;P 500 gained 0.42% and ended the day at 1,324.57. The Nasdaq composite edged up 0.47% and closed at 2,797.05.

		<description><![CDATA[Stocks had a mixed day on Thursday as investors weighed mixed earnings reports and a possible announcement from the Federal Reserve to buy bonds. 3M Co.’s downbeat earnings and its tepid full-year outlook wiped off market’s initial advance that was fueled by a surprise drop in initial claims. The unexpected drop in first-time claims for unemployment benefits sent the Dow average up 53 points in the morning session.

		<description><![CDATA[by Tony Daltorio, Investment U Research Friday, January 29, 2010 Whether Wall Street analysts and individual investors know it or not, emerging market consumers have a growing appetite for quality goods, a fact that big name brands took notice of quite a while ago. Cadbury ADR (NYSE: CBY), for example, committed three years of research and development to creating the newest version of its Dairy Milk chocolate bar, which it recently unwrapped in Mumbai, India. By doing that, it directly combated the idea that emerging markets only care about cheap, made-to-measure products. As a Cadbury spokesperson aptly said: “There is a huge set of emerging consumers who want world class products.” The company knows that for a fact too, considering that it worked for years to gain control of almost ]]></description>
