		<description><![CDATA[We are upgrading our long-term recommendation on PPG Industries (PPG) to Outperform from Neutral. The company’s strategy of diversifying its business across various products and geographies has come in handy in difficult times of the economy. It has trumped the Zacks Consensus Estimates over the last four quarters, which is a testimony to the fact that it has done well even when the economy was under pressure. More importantly, the company’s revenues from emerging markets grew over the last three years and constituted 27% of total revenue in 2011. PPG Industries is focused on tapping the potential of emerging markets and acquired the coatings business of Colpisa earlier this year. The acquisition has led the company to become the only major coatings supplier to automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) with ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[3M Aerospace, part of 3M Company (MMM), meets the problem of substructure erosion in aircraft areas, like lavatories, galleys and doorways, which are frequently exposed to moisture through introduction of 3M™ Polyurethane Protective Tapes. These tapes cover the floor panel joints and the larger areas are protected from moisture by these wide-area tapes. With the constant erosion, the floor panels and beams in the substructure are required to be replaced. These replacements costs about $30,000 to $100,000 per aircraft, as such protection is very essential. The 3M™ Polyurethane Protective Tapes resists the spread of fire and have long service life. The tapes are used for seam sealing, wide wet area protection and beam protection and can be easily and quickly installed. It also meets the new policy of the FAA. ]]></description>

We will have representation from the who’s who of the corporate world, with a number of bellwether players on tap to come out with results. By the end of the week, we will have a good enough number to judge this earnings season. While earnings will remain the primary focus during the week, we have a number of market-moving economic releases on deck as well. We will get a sense of the consumer economy though the monthly Retail Sales numbers, while the Industrial Production report will give us a good read on the manufacturing sector.

		<description><![CDATA[Energy and basic materials took the benchmarks modestly higher on Friday, snapping a three-day losing streak. However, meager gains failed to prevent the Dow and S&#38;P 500 from suffering their worst weekly performance this year. Global economic concerns weighed on investors through the week and their influence carried onto Friday. Moreover, tepid housing data made matters worse on Friday, limiting gains. On Friday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) gained 0.3% and closed the day at 13,080.73. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) was also up 0.3% and finished Friday’s trading session at 1,397.11. The tech-laden Nasdaq Composite Index edged up 0.1% and settled at 3,067.92.

The deal is aimed at accelerating the adoption of solar energy to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. DuPont’s solar energy materials help to increase efficiency, extend the lifetime of modules and ultimately help in reducing overall system costs to make solar increasingly more competitive with other forms of energy generation. According to industry estimates, over the next five years, 20% average annual growth is expected in solar installations globally. DuPont expects its solar photovoltaic market sales to reach $2 billion by 2014 ]]></description>

The chemical industry itself consumes 26% of its own output. Major industrial customers include rubber and plastic products, textiles, apparel, petroleum refining, pulp and paper, and primary metals. The chemical industry has shown rapid growth for more than fifty years. The fastest-growing areas have involved the manufacture of synthetic organic polymers used as plastics, fibers and elastomers. Globally, the chemical industry is mainly concentrating in three areas of the world: Western Europe, North America and Japan. Europe is the largest producer, followed by the U.S. and Japan.

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!

		<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[3M Company (MMM) reported modest results for the third quarter of 2011. The company achieved year-over-year top-line growth of 9.6%, as five out of six segments saw revenue growth. The bottom-line slipped 1% however, missing our estimate by 9 cents. Third Quarter Highlights Total revenue in the quarter increased 9.6% year over year to $7.5 billion. Acquisitions contributed 3.7% to total growth, foreign exchange added 3.1%, organic volume growth 1.9% and higher year-on-year selling prices 0.9%. A weakness in electronic markets as well as declining growth in developed economies negatively affected organic volume in the quarter. Quite a number of customers reduced their inventories due to expectations of lower demand from their customers, which affected sales in the quarter. The company reported third-quarter 2011 earnings per share of $1.52, below ]]></description>

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.

		<description><![CDATA[by Steve McDonald, Investment U Research Monday, October 17, 2011 Legendary investor Jim Rogers said recently that he owns all commodities, but that he likes agricultural commodities most of all. Agriculture, according to Rogers, is in the worst shape of all in terms of commodity supply. Why? No one wants to be a farmer and the world population growth is outpacing the growth of food production. According to UN figures, farmland is in short supply and is expected to lag food demand. By 2050, food demand is projected to grow by 70 percent and increased land availability by five percent. The seriousness of the pending food shortage and the potential wealth this situation presents has not yet hit the markets, evidenced by the fact that the S&#38;P Global Agribusiness Index ]]></description>

(DD) has won a civil lawsuit for $919.9 million in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia in Richmond, Va., against Kolon Industries, with the jury finding that Kolon stole trade secrets and confidential information regarding DuPont&#8217;s Kevlar aramid fiber. Kolon, a South Korea-based company, was found liable on grounds of misappropriation of trade secrets, and the jury found that its actions were willful and malicious. DuPont sued Kolon in 2009 accusing it of stealing confidential data on its brand Kevlar. Kolon also plans to pursue a separate antitrust case against DuPont, scheduled for trial in March next year. DuPont stated it was one of the largest-ever intellectual-property damage awards. The company is also seeking punitive damages, legal ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Chemicals are generally used to make a wide variety of consumer goods and are also used in agriculture, manufacturing, construction and service industries. The chemical industry itself consumes 26% of its own output. Major industrial customers include rubber and plastic products, textiles, apparel, petroleum refining, pulp and paper, and primary metals. The chemical industry has shown rapid growth for more than fifty years. The fastest-growing areas have involved the manufacture of synthetic organic polymers used as plastics, fibers and elastomers. Globally, the chemical industry is mainly concentrated in three areas of the world: Western Europe, North America and Japan. The European community is the largest producer, followed by the U.S. and Japan. Chemicals are a nearly $3 trillion global business, and the European Union (EU) and U.S. chemical companies are ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The fact that a third round of quantitative easing had found favor among a section of Fed members helped the benchmarks end with mild gains on Tuesday. Indices had been trending down initially and sentiment turned further negative following a disappointing consumer confidence report. But signals in the Fed minutes of a likely third round of economic stimulus helped markets recoup losses and log their third-straight day of gains. After a roller-coaster ride the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) finally posted a 20-point or 0.2%, gain and closed at 11,559.64. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) increased by 0.2% and finished the day at 1,212.88. The Nasdaq Composite Index closed at 2,576.11 after gaining 0.6%.

		<description><![CDATA[The plastics and chemicals maker Eastman Chemical Co. (EMN) announced that it has completed the acquisition of petrochemical company Sterling Chemicals Inc. for $100 million in cash. The deal was originally announced in June 2011. The deal is expected to be accretive to 2011 earnings per share.

Eastman plans to renovate and restart Sterling’s currently idled plasticizer manufacturing facility to produce non-phthalate plasticizers. This additional capacity will enable the company’s performance chemicals and intermediates (PCI) segment to serve the growing market demand for non-phthalate alternatives.

The Street finally enjoyed one of its best days in two years a day after it was sent crashing following Standard &#38; Poor’s downgrade of the US credit rating. Recouping most of the losses suffered on Monday, the indices breathed a sigh of relief, gaining substantive points. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gained 429 points or 4% to sign off at 11,239.77.

		<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%. Relative to a year ago, the goods deficit was up 19.4% from ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The specter of another recession haunted investors and dealt a body blow to the markets which crashed to their worst day since the economic crisis of 2008. On Wednesday, just when the Dow looked like ending its longest losing streak of nine days since Jimmy Carter held office, the index plunged over 500 points to record its ninth-steepest decline. The broad sell-off in the market and resulting panic led to the Dow, Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P) 500 and the Nasdaq plunging 4.3%, 4.8% and 5.1%, respectively. Each benchmark posted its share of records, though none of these brought any cheer to investors. The Dow settled at 11,383.83, losing 512 points, the steepest such decline since Dec. 1, 2008. However, the 512-point decline was far from the 778-points slide that ]]></description>

Finally, just before the closing bell, markets lost all their gains to drop modestly lower with the Dow being the hardest hit and the fear-gauge surging to its highest level since mid-June. Of the benchmarks, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) took a battering, shedding 0.5% to close at 12,241.10. The blue-chip index slipped from its intraday high of 12384.90 and has now lost 4% over the last five trading days. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) shed 0.3% and settled at 1,300.78.

		<description><![CDATA[Comments from Federal Chairman Ben Bernanke on the second day of his testimony to Congress dragged the markets into negative territory as he quelled all hopes of a third round of economic stimulus. Economic reports ahead of the opening bell had been encouraging, but failed to sustain the momentum as Bernanke dashed investors’ hopes and Moody’s said it has put the US’s bond rating under review for a possible downgrade. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) had a volatile run throughout the day as it jumped 90 points in the morning, receded 70 points in the afternoon, and recouped losses partially at the end to close 54 points or 0.4% lower at 12437.12. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) dropped 0.7% to finish the day at 1308.87, while the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are maintaining our Neutral recommendation on PPG Industries Inc. (PPG). The company expects to see higher demand in 2011 compared with 2010, but intends to remain focused on continued cost management entered in 2011 with about $2 billion in cash and short-term investments, which is a historically high level for the company and includes proceeds from a $1 billion debt offering in November 2010. Despite the recession, the company’s cash generation has been consistent and at or near record levels for the past three years. A stronger operating focus has resulted in lower operating working capital over that time period. The strengthening economic recovery, broad geographic footprint, reductions in cost structure and substantial financial flexibility inspire optimism about PPG’s prospects for 2011. PPG Industries has a leading position in ]]></description>

Just after the markets managed a finish in the green last week after six-consecutive weeks of losses, benchmarks once again ended in negative territory for the week. Positive economic data failed to drive the markets up amid disappointing reports from the technology sector. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) inched down slightly by less than a percent to settle at 11,934.58. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) shed 1.2% to close at 1,268.45. The tech-laden Nasdaq Composite Index finished the day at 2,652.89, declining by 1.3%. Consolidated volumes were notably high for the day, which according to the analysts were caused by a rebalancing of the Russell 2000 index. On the ]]></description>
