Over the past couple of weeks, markets have remained upbeat, climbing to multi-year highs following robust corporate results. Additionally, a drop in crude prices weighed down the energy sector. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) was the only gainer among the benchmarks as it edged up 0.2% to 12,807.51. The Standard &#38; poor 500 dropped 0.3% and the Nasdaq slipped 0.8% to settle at 1,356.62 and 12,807.51, respectively.

		<description><![CDATA[Leading cleaning and sanitation products maker Ecolab Inc. (ECL) reported first-quarter fiscal 2011 adjusted (excluding special gains/charges and tax related adjustments) earnings of 45 cents, ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 44 cents while exceeding the year-ago adjusted earnings of 41 cents. Net income (attributable to Ecolab) for the quarter, however, dipped 2% year over year to $93.6 million (or 40 cents a share), impacted by charges associated with the European restructuring and acquisition as well as higher tax, which masked an increase in the top line. Net sales rose 6% year over year (up 4% at constant currency rates) to $1,518.3 million, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1,485 million. The results were led by strong performances across the Minnesota-based company’s core U.S. Cleaning &#38; Sanitizing business as ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Clorox Corporation (CLX) posted a marginal increase in second-quarter fiscal 2011 earnings of 68 cents a share compared with 66 cents in the year-ago quarter, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 62 cents. Clorox’s net sales during the quarter declined 3.0% year over year to $1,179 million from $1,215 million in the year-ago quarter, marginally surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1,176 million. The decline was primarily attributable to lower volume, unfavorable impact of the Venezuelan currency devaluation and higher trade-promotion spending, partially offset by increased pricing. Total volume in the quarter dropped 3% due to lesser shipments of Clorox disinfecting wipes and other disinfecting products resulting from the H1N1 flu pandemic, as well as fragile trends across several of the company’s U.S. categories. Segment-wise Revenue Clorox’s sales in the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Markets greeted investors with New Year wishes as they closed higher and major benchmarks set new records on Monday. Robust growth in manufacturing and a better-than-expected construction spending report helped the indices post significant gains. Investors can take lot of heart from this positive start as historical data suggests that markets opening up with gains usually leads to a successful year. According to reports from the Institute for supply Management, manufacturing data sprung higher with the new-orders index posting higher results. The manufacturing sector also jumped for the 17th consecutive month in December.  Additionally, data on the global front suggested that China’s inflation may subside after a slowdown in the manufacturing sector while Europe’s manufacturing sector posted better-than-expected growth during the last month. In addition, construction spending increased for the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Stocks had a mixed finish on Monday as investors avoided taking chances ahead of this week’s Federal Reserve meeting and the mid-term elections. A surprise jump in October manufacturing activities in China and the U.S. gave stocks some initial boost but the rally faded as investors, already concerned about the economic recovery, wondered if the Federal Reserve would launch the treasury buying program sooner than expected. The Dow Jones industrial average rose modestly after spending much of the session in negative territory. The 30-share average rose 6 points, or 0.06%, to 11124.6. The broader S&#38;P’s 500-stock index edged up more than one point, or 0.09%, to 1184.38. The Nasdaq Composite index fell 2.57 points, or 0.1%, to 2504.84. On the New York Stock Exchange, Reports that the Securities and Exchange ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[May 6, 2010 I wrote this on Wednesday evening, prior to today’s (Thursday&#8217;s) large market drop. The primary point I make in the commentary below—that you should not sell simply because it is May—is still valid. Today’s drop has nothing to do with the calendar. Why are traders suddenly very fearful of the problems in Greece, when they weren’t last week or last month? My guess is that this market activity has more to do with momentum trading, in this case to the downside, than anything else. Your best defense is to stay diversified and have an allocation strategy that is appropriate for your age and financial situation. For more information, visit the Asset Allocation (http://www.aaii.com/assetallocation/) section of AAII.com. &#8220;Sell in May and go away&#8221; is an old adage among ]]></description>

Earnings per share came in at 77 cents, which topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2 cents. Net sales for the quarter rose by 5.2% to $1.3 billion from $1.2 billion in the year-ago period. The growth was primarily driven by strong demand for Clorox’s disinfecting products and favorable foreign currency translations. Total volume increased 5%, primarily due to higher shipments of disinfecting and water filtration products. Segment-wise In the Cleaning segment, sales increased 3% and volumes grew 8%. The volume increase was driven by increased shipments of disinfecting products to meet demand related to the H1N1 flu pandemic.

		<description><![CDATA[The Clorox Company (CLX) reported strong results for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 with earnings of $1.11 per share. Earnings were well above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 95 cents and up 23.3% year-over-year. Net sales for the quarter were almost flat year-over-year, declining marginally by 0.8%. The decline was primarily attributable to unfavorable foreign exchange rates, unfavorable product mix and higher trade-promotion spending. These factors were partially offset by the benefit of price increases, especially in the International segment. Total volume increased 1%, primarily due to higher shipments of disinfecting wipes and bottled salad dressing, which were largely offset by lower shipments of trash bags and the company&#8217;s exit from its private-label food bags business. Segment-wise In the Cleaning segment, sales increased 3% and volumes grew 4%. Volume ]]></description>
