		<description><![CDATA[Earnings Preview – Week of May 21st It will be a relatively quiet week on the earnings front, as there are only a few reports left before we close the books on the first quarter earnings season. This turned out to be a positive reporting season, with the growth rate, surprises and percentage of beats coming ahead of pre-season expectations. We will get reports from about 100 companies this week, including 17 companies in the S&#38;P 500, which will take the complete tally of S&#38;P 500 results to 495 by the end of the week. The economic calendar this week is on the light side as well, which means that headlines from Europe will likely continue to drive market activity on a day-to-day basis. We will get reports on New ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Online social networking mogul Facebook (FB) is scheduled to start trading on the  Nasdaq Stock Market today at around 11.00 a.m. Yesterday, its much-hyped initial public offering (IPO) yielded approximately $16 billion from 33 investment banks, led by Morgan Stanley (MS). Given Facebook’s size, the investment banks underwriting the issue are expected to charge as much as 3% of the proceeds as their commission. At the time of IPO filing, Facebook’s price band was $28 to $35 per share. However, earlier this week (May 15, 2012), Facebook raised the price range to $34 to $38 per share and the very next day (May 16, 2012) the company increased the size of the offering by 25% to 421 million, representing a 15% float. Facebook eventually priced its IPO at $38.00 per ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On January 22, 1984, Apple ran a television commercial introducing the Macintosh computer during the broadcast of Super Bowl XVIII. Inspired by George Orwell’s book 1984, a woman hurls a sledgehammer through a giant screen – in a fiery explosion – where a “Big Brother” figure is speaking to a bunch of nameless, unemotional faces. The takeaway was, of course, that IBM (NYSE: IBM) was taking over the world. Buying a Mac would show off your individuality and support of independent thought. That commercial was one of the most memorable and successful of all time. If the spot ran today, few would assume that the Big Brother character was IBM. A more logical assumption would be that it was Microsoft, Google, Facebook or, ironically, Apple itself. Fact is, to this ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Intel Corp (INTC) reported fourth quarter earnings of 67 cents per share that beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 6 cents. The surprise was driven by strength in the server segment, a richer mix of business, lower-than-expected taxes and helped by the fact that estimates dropped 9 cents over the past two months. Revenue Intel’s reported revenue was $13.9 billion, within management’s guidance range of $$14.0 billion (+/-$500 million). Revenue for the quarter dropped 2.4% sequentially, while increasing 21.2% year over year. As indicated by the HDD suppliers Western Digital (WDC) and Seagate (STX), as well as PC companies Hewlett Packard Company (HPQ) and Dell Inc (DELL), the floods in Thailand had a significant impact on the PC market toward the end of the year.

Gartner and IDC estimate 1.4% and 0.2% declines in worldwide PC shipments, respectively in the fourth quarter. Worldwide PC shipments for the fourth quarter were in the range of 92 million and 93 million, as per Gartner and IDC. The adjusted figures could be gathered from the PC makers, as the companies release their quarterly reports in the coming weeks. This decline in PC shipments is attributable to various factors, the most important of them being the growing popularity of the mobile devices that are more convenient, less expensive and almost as powerful as PCs.

		<description><![CDATA[A slew of better than expected economic reports helped the indices to close flat, after fresh eurozone worries weighed on the markets which opened lower. For the very first time this year, the Dow closed in the red, while the Nasdaq and the S&#38;P 500 index registered small gains to end in the green. The Dow showed its strength by recuperating its triple digit loss to close flat to negative. The Dow Jones Industrial average (DJIA) dropped 0.02% or 2.72 points to close at 12,415.70. The blue chip index’s biggest laggard was Boeing (NYSE:BA), which fell 1.1% to $73.53., while banking giant, Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) was the biggest gainer, increasing by 8.6%. The tech-laden Nasdaq Composite Index increased 21.50 points, or 0.81% to end at 2,669.86. The Standard &#38; ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Wednesday, markets recouped some of their initial losses during an afternoon rally and benchmarks finished almost mixed. Nonetheless, with concerns gaining an upper hand gains were not strong enough to return a broad cheer to the markets. To sum up, Oracle disappointed heavily with its quarter results, existing home sales data was gloomy, and long-term refinancing operation by the ECB left some apprehensions over the debt scenario. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) edged up by a mere 0.03% to close the day at 12,107.74. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) gained 0.2% to settle at 1,243.72.

This application enables users to upload, download, view and share medical images everywhere without the help of any additional software. Through this new solution the company intends to improve image interoperability and achieve the ‘Meaningful Use’ stamp from the federal government. Earlier this month, Merge selected Dell, Inc (DELL) as its preferred cloud computing services provider.

		<description><![CDATA[Tech major Dell Inc. (DELL) is looking to grow its share of the server market, something that could hurt Hewlett-Packard Co. (HPQ) in the longer term. Dell missed its chance of becoming the leading PC shipment vendor after H-P’s PC segment spin-off was called off by current CEO Meg Whitman. The two companies saw their fortunes reverse in the last quarter, as Dell’s server business did much better than H-P’s. H-P has seen a few hurdles in the last few quarters. Even the recently concluded fourth quarter was lackluster. And now, we see H-P encountering another threat from its nearest competitor Dell. Both companies have excelled in developing servers that bring the graphics processing unit (GPU) into the data center or high-performance computers (HPC). However, while H-P has mostly concentrated ]]></description>

Revenue AMD’s revenues in the last quarter came in at $1.69 billion, up 7.4% and 4.4% from the previous and year-ago quarters, respectively. While supply constraints prevented the company from meeting its guidance of a 10% sequential increase (at the mid-point), revenues came in higher than consensus expectations of $1.65 billion. AMD clearly benefited from strength in its new products (Brazos and Llano). However, contrary to our expectations, it does not look as if the company was able to pick up share from archrival Intel Corp (INTC) mainly due to issues at Globalfoundries.

		<description><![CDATA[Apple Inc.’s (AAPL) earnings juggernaut hit a road block, after the iPhone maker missed the Zacks Consensus Estimates in the fourth quarter of 2011. Apple earned $7.05 in the reported quarter, lagging the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $7.31. Apple shares declined approximately 7.0% in after hours trading. Earnings per share (EPS) shot up 52.0% from $4.64 reported in the year-ago quarter and were ahead of Apple’s conservative guidance of $5.50. The year-over-year growth was driven by higher revenue in the quarter. However, revenue fell shy of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $29.51 billion. Apple’s fourth-quarter miss was primarily due to lower iPhone sales, which reflects that consumers deferred their purchase based on the rumors surrounding the release of iPhone 5. This negatively impacted the sequential growth, which declined (16.0%) for ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Australian government recently awarded the Australian arm of Hewlett-Packard Company (HPQ) a technology service agreement for its next-generation digital hospital in Adelaide, Australia. According to the agreement, Hewlett-Packard will design, build and maintain a portion of the information, communication and technology (ICT) systems of the digital hospital. The new hospital will follow a public-private collaboration approach, with all modern amenities. It will be equipped with version 2.0 of the “HP Digital Hospital Solution”, as its technology foundation. This solution from H-P offers a cohesive set of technologies and services that replaces single-function systems, thereby aligning technology with operational and patient priorities. Under this service agreement, H-P will design a collaboration between Royal Adelaide’s in-building systems with the South Australia Government’s enterprise level patient admission to facilitate real-time information accessibility. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Europe remains in the headlines, with rating downgrades for two major French banks due to their Greek exposure. But the overall tone of Europe-centric headlines has improved as the Germans have started to back-peddle from some of their tougher statements. It may be a tad calmer in Europe today, but rest assured that the issue is not going away anytime soon. We also have plenty of economic news on the domestic front this morning, with a soft Retail Sales report and a fairly benign inflation reading. On the inflation front, we got a relatively benign wholesale inflation reading for August this morning, with the &#8216;headline&#8217; flat vs. expectation of a 0.1% drop. The &#8216;core&#8217; PPI number came in better than expected at 0.1% vs. an expectation of 0.2%. The more ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The legal tensions between Apple Inc. (AAPL) and Samsung Electronics Co. keeps intensifying, the latest development being that the latter has filed a case against Apple in a district court in Paris, France. Samsung filed a compliant against the tech-giant, accusing Apple&#8217;s iPhones and iPads to have infringed on three technology patents relating to its UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System). UMTS is a third-generation (3G) broadband, packet-based transmission of text, digitized voice, video and multimedia at data transmission rates of up to 2 megabits per second (Mbps). Samsung seems to have found a new way to counter Apple with this technology-focused lawsuit, since it has not won any of the design-related lawsuits that it filed against Apple. The development of this case will be an interesting event, as Samsung has ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently, Samsung Electronics Co. filed a countersuit against Apple Inc. (AAPL) in Australia, alleging violation of seven Australian patents owned by Samsung related to wireless communications standards. Apple had earlier won an injunction against Samsung Electronics Co., under which the latter was forced to delay the launch of Galaxy Tab 10.1 until the end of September, in Australia. Samsung had originally scheduled the launch of its Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet in Australia in the middle of September. Samsung has also filed a claim to lift the ban on the Galaxy Tab as the company maintained that the Australian model of Galaxy 10.1 was different from its US models and it did not infringe upon any patents related to the Apple iPad. This is the second time that Samsung has sued ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cross-Atlantic news and a positive turn of events guided the markets’ throughout Wednesday’s session, finally boosting the benchmarks to their third-straight days of gains. Initially, negative news from Austria seemed to threaten the markets, while Moody’s downgraded French banks. However, investors ignored these developments as the conference call among German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou spurred hopes of a resolution to the Greek debt crisis. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) surged 140 points or 1.3% to close at 11,246.73. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) gained 1.4% to finish the day at 1,188.68. The Nasdaq Composite Index climbed 1.6% and settled at 2,572.55. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) provided some respite, dropping 6% to trade roughly over 34.5. On ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Uncertainty continues to loom over the PC market. The rise of next generation ultra-portable gadgets (mainly tablets) has taken the market by storm, diverting consumer spending dollars from traditional desktops and notebooks. The success of Apple Inc.’s (AAPL) iPad has convinced the world that a thin rectangle portable touch screen with long battery life is enough to take care of most of our daily computing needs. While there was initial opinion that tablets were market expansive and there could be some truth to this, researches are now forecasting that iPad unit sales will grow at an average annual rate of more than 50% from this year to 2015. The fact that tablets are much cheaper is obviously playing a role as well. During the second quarter of 2011, PC shipments ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Markets registered their first back-to-back gains this month, as industrial and material stocks helped push the benchmarks higher. The trading session was significantly calm compared to the high levels of volatility that the markets endured since early last month. For the first time since July 26, the Dow traded in a narrow range of a little over 150 points. Hopes about European leaders taking steps to resolve the Greek debt crisis also helped the markets’ uptrend. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gained 0.4% and finished the day at 11,105.85. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) was up 0.9% and settled at 1,172.87. The Nasdaq Composite Index closed at 2,532.15, after gaining 1.5%.

		<description><![CDATA[One of the largest online retailers, Amazon.com Inc (AMZN), continues to oppose sales tax collection by offering to create jobs instead. Thanks to the weak jobs scenario and consistently depressing jobs reports, regulators that had once been hungry to narrow deficits are now seriously considering the cost of job creation. A few states appear to have taken the bait (South Carolina and Tennessee) according to a Forbes report, although agreements are far from concrete and are now up against much controversy and opposition from brick and mortar outfits. Wares from these retailers appear more expensive when compared with those from online retailers, since they are forced by law to collect taxes on behalf of their respective states. As the growth in online retail continues at a rapid pace, largely at ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Apple Inc.(AAPL) has won another injunction against Samsung Electronics Co., which will delay the launch of the latter’s Galaxy Tab 10.1 until the end of September, in Australia. Samsung had originally scheduled the launch of its Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet in Australia in the middle of September. Last month, Apple had sued Samsung in the Sydney Federal Court, accusing Samsung to have violated patent rights and alleged that the latter’s Galaxy 10.1 tab copied the iPad tablet in some respects. However, Samsung had argued that the Australian model of Galaxy 10.1 was different from its US models. Regardless, the court agreed on Apple’s request for the injunction and a hearing is scheduled on September 26 and September 29, 2011. Apart from Australia, the two companies have locked horns in patent ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Apple Inc.(AAPL) has won an injunction against Samsung Electronics Co., as a German court barred the latter from selling its Galaxy Tab 10.1 touchscreen tablets in the European Union. However, the ruling has kept Netherlands out of the fray and has not implemented any restriction on Samsung in the region. Thereafter, Apple filed a separate patent infringement case in the Netherlands, which is scheduled for hearing on Wednesday. Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 10.1 was released earlier this summer and is touted to be one of Apple&#8217;s strongest competitors in the tablet market. The tablet, which uses Google Inc.’s (GOOG) android operating system, is gaining popularity. This compelled Apple to file the lawsuit in a bid to protect its intellectual property and claimedthat Samsung copied the iPad tablet in some respects. Earlier in ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Apple Inc. (AAPL) shares slipped $19.08 (5.07%) to $357.10 in after hours trading, following the resignation of its maverick Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Mr. Steve Jobs. Subsequently, Apple announced that Chief Operating Officer (COO) Mr. Tim Cook will serve as the full-time CEO. However, Steve Jobs will continue to hold his position as the Chairman of the company. He was on medical leave since January 17, 2011 after combating a rare form of cancer since 2003 and survived a liver transplant in 2009. Mr. Jobs, who is also the co-founder of Apple, served the company for the last 14 years. It was his second stint with Apple beginning in 1997 (the first ended in 1985, when he was unceremoniously forced to resign), which saw a tremendous turnaround in the company’s ]]></description>

In order to focus more on the high-growth and high-margin business, the CEO now wants to spin off or sell H-P’s lower-margin PC business, wash its hands of the webOS business (still looking for a take-off) and buy out business software maker Autonomy Corp. The focus shift would help H-P evolve as a software and services company, without any reliance on the hardware businesses.

		<description><![CDATA[On Wednesday, The Dow Jones Industrial Average see-sawed between positive and negative territory, eventually closing flat as did the S&#38;P. The Nasdaq closed in the red after tech shares dragged the index lower following Dell’s revised sales forecast. However, a few positive earnings results from retail stocks and a couple of economic reports helped the markets ward of another slide in the middle day of the week.The Dow ended with a small gain of 4.28 points to close at 11,410.21, gaining 4.28%. During the day, the blue chip index managed to touch an intraday high of 124 points and an intraday low of 84 points.

		<description><![CDATA[Stocks will likely be unable to sustain the three-day rally of sorts as the reality of economic growth uncertainty comes back to center stage. We have a number of reports out this morning that highlight the lack of economic growth, not just here in the U.S., but also in Europe. We have known about Europe&#8217;s debt problems for awhile, but this morning brought in a weaker-than-expected report about EuroZone&#8217;s GDP growth in the second quarter. German economic growth was barely in the positive column, while France had no growth at all. The sharp slowdown from the first quarter&#8217;s growth pace raises questions about the interest rate hikes implemented by the European Central Bank recently. Lack of growth makes it difficult for European leaders to tackle the common market&#8217;s escalating debt ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wall Street’s volatile run continued on Thursday as encouraging economic data eroded fears of a possible recession at least for the moment, and the markets moved upwards. The Dow created history with its largest one-day percentage moves over the past four sessions, as it went up 423 points just a day after it was down more than 500 points. While a positive jobs report gave an additional boost to sentiment, Cisco also joined the party with its robust quarterly results. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) soared 3.9% to close the day at 11,143.31. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) jumped 4.6% to close at 1,172.64 and the Nasdaq Composite Index shot up 4.7% to finish the day at 2,492.68. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index sank 9.3%.

		<description><![CDATA[Apple Inc. (AAPL) recently won an important victory against smartphone maker HTC Corp., after International Trade Commission (ITC) agreed to review its patent infringement complaint against the Taiwan based company. According to a latest report from Bloomberg, ITC will investigate Apple’s five patent violation charges against HTC related to software architecture and user interfaces in portable electronic devices, hardware for touch screens and movement sensors. The case was filed with the ITC on July 8, 2011. Through the patent violation lawsuit, Apple seeks to prevent HTC from rolling out the new Flyer tablet computers as well as its Droid Credible, Wildfire, EVO 4G and Desire phones in the U.S. With the launch of its tablet, Flyer, in the US market, HTC became the direct competitor of Apple’s iPad and Samsung’s ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The volatile run of the markets ended with modest gains, which was also marked one of the busiest days of trading since mid-March. Uncertainty over economic growth kept investors jittery, though the benchmarks escaped recording their longest losing streak since Jimmy Carter’s days in the White House. Traders believe the rebound was partially led by former Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Donald Kohn’s comments about the Fed considering a new stimulus plan, which brought the buyers into the market. As the day began, investors were once again bogged down by concerns about the economy and the markets opened with steep losses. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) dipped 166 points before recouping its losses to settle at 11,896.21, up 0.3%. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) added 0.5% to finish ]]></description>

(AAPL) added another feather to its success story as it outsold Nokia Corp (NOK) and Samsung to become the largest smartphone maker in the second quarter of 2011 in terms of global shipments of smartphones. Research firm Strategy Analytics confirmed Apple’s iPhones to have grabbed an estimated 18.5% market share, compared with 13.5% a year earlier. With an estimated 17.5% market share (19.2 million units), Samsung is close on the heels of Apple. However, Nokia narrated a sad story as it tumbled from the first rank to the third after its market share dropped to 15.2% (16.7 million units) from the comparable prior-year quarter’s 38.1%. In the recently concluded quarter, iPhone continued to be a star performer for Apple, with strong growth in both the Americas and the ]]></description>
