		<description><![CDATA[We have maintained our long-term Neutral recommendation on the global consumer products company, Colgate-Palmolive Company (CL) with a target price of $115.00 following its fourth-quarter 2012 results. Moreover, shares of Colgate-Palmolive retain a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Why the Reiteration? Colgate-Palmolive commands a market-leading position in oral care and personal care product categories. We believe management&#8217;s continued focus on product innovation, globally recognized brands and broad international presence in both developed and emerging markets facilitates the company to take advantage of growth opportunities and thereby augment profitability. The company posted fourth-quarter 2012 adjusted earnings of $1.41 per share that came a penny ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate and jumped 8.5% year over year. The company’s adjusted gross profit margin expanded 90 basis points (bps) to 58.6%, driven by increased ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oracle Corp. (ORCL) reported earnings of 53 cents per share in the first quarter of 2013. Including stock-based compensation of $193.0 million (4 cents per share), earnings were 49 cents per share, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2 cents. Quarter Details Total revenue in the reported quarter decreased 2.3% year over year to $8.21 billion. Revenue fell slightly short of the consensus mark and also missed the management’s lower end of the guided range of (2.0%) &#8211; 1.0% growth forecast. The weak revenue growth was primarily due to lackluster performance from the hardware and services segment in the quarter, which fully offset higher software revenue. Software revenue climbed 3.7% year over year to $5.74 billion, primarily driven by 6.3% jump in new software license sales (slightly better than ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Benchmarks ended almost flat on Friday despite the initial push by Spain’s bailout hopes and the initiation of Apple’s iPhone 5 sales. Investors cheered Apple’s recent event and helped its shares to reach a lifetime high. Unfortunately, the benchmarks ended the week on a losing note following the past few weeks of robust wins. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) lost 0.1% to end at 13,579.47. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) slipped a paltry 0.11 point or 0.01% to finish Friday’s trading session at 1,460.15. The tech-laden Nasdaq Composite Index was up 0.1% to close at 3,179.96. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) down 0.6% to settle at 13.98. Consolidated volumes on the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq were roughly 7.92 billion shares. ]]></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 firms reporting next week read like a who’s who of American industry.  They.include: Abbott Labs (ABT), Apple (AAPL), Automatic Data Processing (ADP), AT&#38;T (T), Boeing  (BA), Bristol Myers (BMY), Caterpillar (CAT), CSX (CSX), Chevron (CVX), Colgate Palmolive (CL), Conoco Phillips (COP &#8211; Analyst Report) and DuPont (DD) – and that is just in the first four letters of the alphabet!

The world hoped and hoped that the economic crisis that started in 2008 will soon end for the better with bailout packages and strong government intervention. Instead we faced crises &#8212; a seemingly never-ending series, one feeding into another. It all started with the financial crisis in the U.S. that quickly spread across the Atlantic to Europe, and the Mediterranean ‘drift’ that grew into a torrent and consumed North Africa and Southern Europe. The environment was created by poor governance, spendthrift ways, economic stagnation and high leverage – a heady cocktail that ousted governments, and created unstable markets ]]></description>

The fundamental explanation is that food, beverage, household products and cosmetics companies that manufacture and market consumable products, most of which are considered essential to daily life, such as food, drink, toothpaste, deodorants, toilet paper, etc. As of September 18, 2011 the consumer staples sector represented 11.8% of the S&#38;P 500 Index, up 0.4%, compared with a 10.7% drop for the S&#38;P 500. In 2010, the sector index grew 10.7% versus a 12.8% increase for the S&#38;P 500 index.

		<description><![CDATA[by Jason Jenkins, Investment U Research Thursday, October 6, 2011 What do you do in a bear market? Most people would tell you to run and get out. Thousands of investors are flocking to the perceived safety of Treasury bonds. But as Alexander Green writes, the Treasury bond market is a calamity waiting to happen. And if you invest in short-term Treasury notes, you may as well stuff all your cash in the mattress, because you’ll get the same return. What those who had success in the market know is that you don’t make money following the herd. You find opportunities. As strange as it may seem, geopolitical dysfunction in the United States and Europe may just provide that opportune moment.

		<description><![CDATA[The Trade Deficit rose in May to $50.23 billion from $43.66 billion in April. The rise in the trade deficit is bad news for the economy, and the level is very dangerous. For the month it was up 15.0%; worse than the $44.0 billion consensus expectation. On a year over year basis, the total trade deficit was up 19.1% from $42.17 billion a year ago. The trade balance has two major parts: trade in goods and trade in services. America&#8217;s problem is always on the goods side; we actually routinely have a small surplus in services. Relative to April, the goods deficit rose to $64.88 billion from $58.16 billion. That is a month to month increase of 11.6%.

		<description><![CDATA[Stocks in the Consumer Staples sector have traditionally performed better than the stock market, and especially cyclical companies, during market declines. We are seeing evidence of this at present &#8212; consumer staple stocks have started shining again as concerns about the economy’s growth momentum have taken center stage. 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. Beverage companies, however, are able to grow faster at the high single-digit to low double-digit rate given growing penetration rates. But, cosmetics companies can grow earnings a ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Marc Lichtenfeld, Investment U‘s Senior Analyst Wednesday, May 4, 2011: Issue #1505 There’s an old saying; when the going gets tough, the tough buy consumer staples stocks – or something like that. Historically, the sector has been viewed as a defensive position. It makes sense. Even if the economy stinks, you’re still going to brush your teeth, use the toilet and feed your kids (at least I hope you are). In the past year, the consumer staples sector, as measured by the Consumer Staples Sector SPDR (NYSE: XLP), is up 14.9 percent, outperforming the S&#38;P 500?s rise of 13.6 percent. John Roque, Managing Director at WJB Capital, points out that consumer staples and the S&#38;P 500 are closely correlated. When consumer staples stocks are strong, the S&#38;P 500 tends ]]></description>

Reported quarter earnings also failed to meet the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.04 per share. Clorox’s net sales during the quarter increased 1.3% year over year to $1,304 million from $1,287 million in the year-ago quarter. However, total revenue fell short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1,321 million. Total volume in the quarter inched up 1% as the company benefited from volume gains from Burt&#8217;s Bees natural personal care products, the Away From Home institutional business and Home Care category. However, this was partially offset by decline in volume in the Glad and Brita businesses. Revenue by Segment Clorox’s sales in the Cleaning segment jumped 3% due ]]></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.

		<description><![CDATA[After swinging back and forth for much of the session, stocks closed mostly in the red Wednesday amid concerns that the Fed’s planned purchase of Treasury bonds would not be as heavy and swift as earlier anticipated. Traders are eagerly awaiting a Federal Reserve move to inject more money into the economy by buying bonds. Expectations that the U.S. central bank would soon launch the asset purchases have fueled a rally in stocks. However, market participants are now concerned that the second round of quantitative easing would not be as big as has been expected. Those worries strengthened further after a Wall Street Journal report said yesterday that the Fed would buy no more than $200 billion worth of bonds and the purchases would be spread over several months.

		<description><![CDATA[In March, the Trade Deficit rose to $40.42 billion from $39.43 billion in February, and increase of 3.04%.

It is still, however, well below the $60+ billion trade deficits that were the norm before world trade imploded in the wake of the 2008 financial meltdown.
