		<description><![CDATA[Earnings Preview 10/14/11 While the earnings season kicked off this past week, only 38 firms reported. The game really gets under way next week, when we will get reports from 336 firms, including 99 members of the S&#38;P 500. Thus, by the end of the week we will have a very good idea of how the overall season will go. Not only will there be a lot of reports, but many of those we get will be very important ones. The table at the end of this report reads like a who’s who of American industry, including: Apple (AAPL), American Express (AXP), Bank of America (BAC), Citigroup (C), General Electric (GE), Goldman Sachs (GS), IBM (IBM), Intel (INTC) and McDonald’s (MCD). And that&#8217;s just the first half of the alphabet! ]]></description>

There will be 348 firms reporting, and 108 of those are in the S&#38;P 500. By next Friday we should have a very good handle on how the overall earnings season will go. The firms reporting this week are sort of like a who&#8217;s who of U.S. industry including: Apple (AAPL), American Express (AXP), Bank of America (BAC), Caterpillar (CAT), General Electric (GE), International Business Machines (IBM), Intel (INTC), McDonald&#8217;s (MCD), Schlumberger (SLB) and Verizon (VZ).

(TYC) announced that it has completed the acquisition of a 75% stake in KEF Holdings Ltd., which is a UAE-based integrated valve manufacturer and provider of steel castings to the oil and gas, chemical, mining and power industries. This acquisition of KEF was first announced on March 21, 2011. The transaction is relatively small, valued at approximately $300 million.

The deal enhances the company’s position in the Middle East, as it provides its flow control business with strategic manufacturing presence. This is because Tyco&#8217;s product knowledge, operations expertise and advanced valve technology compliment KEF&#8217;s local manufacturing and sales channels in the Middle ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Life Technologies Corporation (LIFE) recently completed the sale of its mass spectrometry business to Danaher Corporation (DHR) for $450 million in cash, subject to a conventional working capital adjustment. Danaher also acquired Life’s joint venture partner in the mass spectrometry business, MDS Analytical Technologies, a division of MDS Inc. (MDZ). We view Life’s decision to divest its Mass Spectrometry business as a smart strategic move. This decision should allow the company to focus on the high growth molecular and genomics markets. Moreover, the company will be able to utilize a part of the sale proceeds for the repayment of its significant debt. Life recently reported strong results for the fourth quarter of 2009. The company reported fourth quarter earnings of 80 cents per share, well above the Zacks Consensus Estimate ]]></description>

Quarterly sales were $3.1 billion, 1.5% less than the $3.2 billion reported in the year-ago quarter. Core revenues declined 9% in the quarter, compared to the fourth quarter of 2008.
