		<description><![CDATA[General Motors Company (GM) announced two tires of recall of about 10,000 pickup trucks from the model year 2011 due to problems with their automatic transmission and steering shaft. The first set of recall is related to a faulty automotive transmission clip that could slip and show the incorrect position of the transmission gear. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the fault could cause the vehicles to roll away, leading to a crash. The recall involves 9,000 units of Chevrolet Colorado and GM Canyon trucks. The second set of recall is related to bolts on the intermediate steering shaft that may not have been tightened to the specification. It involves 891 units of Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Silverado and GM Sierra trucks in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[General Motors Company (GM) announced that it would recall 50,500 units of Cadillac SRX luxury crossover vehicles due to a software glitch that may cause non-deployment of airbags in case of an accident, leading to injuries for ones sitting in the right rear seat. GM officials revealed that the front passenger is supposed to deploy even if no one is seated. However, the air bags are programmed in such a way that the airbag system will be turned off in case someone does not sit in the front passenger seat. Therefore, in case of an accident, the front passenger-side airbag will not open up, thereby leaving passengers at the rear seat at risk. As a result, the company needs to reprogram the airbag software system. The problem exists only with ]]></description>

The S&#38;P, after declining for four consecutive days, edged up less than a point, to 1178.59. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite index rose slightly more than 6 points, or 0.3%, to 2476.01.

		<description><![CDATA[After a hiatus of a day since its earnings release on September 14, 2010, The Kroger Company (KR), one of the largest grocery retailers in the U.S., hit the market with the news of dividend increase, reflecting its plan to utilize its free cash to enhance shareholders’ return, thereby boosting investor confidence on the stock. The Cincinnati-based company, Kroger, raised its quarterly dividend by 10.5%. This is the fourth time the company has hiked its dividend since the inception of the program in 2006. The board approved an increase in annual dividend to 42 cents a share (or 10.5 cents quarterly) from 38 cents a share (or 9.5 cents quarterly). The increased dividend will be paid on December 1, 2010, to stockholders of record as of November 15, 2010. Another ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[GameStop Corp. (GME) posted first-quarter 2010 earnings of 48 cents per share, which topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny and increased 14% from 42 cents per share last year. The better-than-expected performance was primarily driven by a higher top-line, a significant decline in interest expenses (down 18%) and absence of a debt extinguishment expense, which existed in the year-ago period. Quarterly Details Quarterly revenue grew 5% to $2,083 million from $1,981 million in the prior-year quarter. The growth was mainly attributable to the addition of new stores over the last year, partially offset by a 1.6% decline in same-store sales. In terms of sales mix, new video game software sales grew 13% to $873.1 million, mainly driven by new releases such as Battlefield Bad Company 2, God of ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We recently upgraded our recommendation on GameStop Corporation (GME) to Neutral from Underperform with a target price of $22.00. Being the global leader in retailing software, hardware, and game accessories for video game systems and personal computers, GameStop is better positioned than its competitors for the economic recovery. The stock is poised to surge once the economy rebounds and demand improves. GameStop recently reported fourth-quarter 2009 results that came a penny ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate, but fell 3.7% year-over-year to $1.29 per share. Revenue for the quarter rose marginally by 0.9% to $3,524 million. Despite a fall in the bottom-line in the quarter, the Grapevine, Texas-based company expects earnings to rebound in fiscal 2010. GameStop now expects first-quarter 2010 earnings between 46 cents and 48 cents a share, ]]></description>

The quarterly earnings of $1.29 per share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.28 marginally, but dropped 3.7% from $1.34 delivered in the prior-year quarter due to an increase in SG&#38;A expenses (up 11.5%) and a rise in depreciation and amortization (up 13.9%), partially offset by a marginal increase in the top-line, a slight dip in the cost of sales (0.1%) and a major drop in interest expense (20.9%).

		<description><![CDATA[by Marc Lichtenfeld, Advisory Panelist Friday, February 12, 2010: Issue #1196 The latest government data showed that the U.S. economy expanded strongly during the fourth quarter of 2009, galloping along at an annualized 5.7% GDP growth rate. Now admittedly, numbers like this get revised more often than a five-year-old’s alibi when questioned about a broken vase. But given that GDP contracted by 5.4% in the fourth quarter of 2008, that’s quite a comeback. Those with their glasses half-empty are skeptical of the economy’s apparent resurgence. They point to the restocking of inventories as the major catalyst for the reported growth. Additionally, there are still millions who are unemployed, but can’t find work. Still, it’s hard to argue that there aren’t some signs of life in the economy. Last weekend, I ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Electronic Arts Inc. (ERTS) reported third-quarter of 2010 results with a steep fall in net earnings and revenue due to weakness in its EA business, dismal holiday sales for the overall packaged goods sector in Europe and product mix shifts to lower-margin distribution business in North America . Despite higher cost controls, delay in launching new titles, a difficult packaged goods software business, lower restructuring benefit and the negative impact of foreign exchange led to disappointing guidance for the upcoming quarters. As a result, the shares fell 8.29% after hours. Net income, excluding non-recurring items decreased 41% to 33 cents in the third-quarter of 2010 from the year-ago earnings per share of 56 cents. Earnings per share came in line with the company’s reduced outlook on Jan 13, 2010 of ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A leading publisher of interactive games (video game software and content), Electronic Arts Inc. (ERTS) cut its revenue and earnings outlook for fiscal 2010; the second time since the last earnings call. As a result of its gloomy outlook, shares fell 8.37% after hours following the announcement. The company slashed its outlook due to weakness in its EA business, dismal holiday sales for the overall packaged goods sector in Europe and product mix shifts to lower-margin distribution business in North America in the third quarter of 2010. Moreover, EA is facing intense competition from Activision Blizzard, Inc.&#8216;s (ATVI) Modern Warfare 2, which led to overall lower games sold in stores such as GameStop Corp.

		<description><![CDATA[Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT) recently announced that it is lowering the prices of 25 of the most popular video games. The company intends to lower prices by about 15% to 20% by Christmas Eve. This announcement has been a major worry for the world&#8217;s largest video game and entertainment software retailer GameStop Corp. (GME) In response, GameStop Corp., which generates the bulk of its sales during the holiday season, will be forced to reduce prices of its games to stay competitive. Moreover, according to market sources, most of GameStop&#8217;s stores are near Wal-Mart outlets, thereby posing a much tougher competition for GameStop in terms of attracting customers. Wal-Mart&#8217;s decision to cut video game prices this holiday season is a strategy to take advantage of the sector&#8217;s popularity as gifts. According ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Marc Lichtenfeld, Advisory Panelist You ready for a good ol’ 1960s rock n’ roll flashback, courtesy of four lads from Liverpool? Amid a buzz of publicity, yesterday was the day that many Beatles fans had eagerly waited for, with the release of a new video game in the band’s name – “The Beatles: Rock Band.” If you’re not familiar with the “Rock Band” concept, it’s a bit like karaoke, except you play music in addition to singing. Gamers follow along with their favorite musicians/songs, using an electronic drum kit and guitar, and sing the songs, too. The game is enormously popular, having generated over $1 billion in revenue. And gamers can download individual songs, albums, or catalogs of groups like AC/DC, The Who and The Grateful Dead. So far, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The video game industry, which surged ahead for a number of years, is now grappling with the recession.  Heavy job losses and reduced access to credit markets have led to lower discretionary spending. This has resulted in lower demand for video game consoles and new software. This unfavorable backdrop was evident from GameStop&#8217;s (GME) dismal recent results. Despite the weak environment, management expects the release of popular titles in the second half of 2009 to stimulate sales. We maintain an Underperform rating on the stock until we see an upturn in the company&#8217;s growth trajectory. Zacks Investment Research View original at: Zacks.com News Feed]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke’s encouraging words about the economy and a jump in existing home sales sent US stock surging to their highest level this year and brightened hopes that an economic recovery is imminent.  Treasuries tumbled and corresponding yields rose sharply higher as investors turned away from the safety of government debt.  Gains were broad based with 29 of the 30 Dow Jones industrial average components recording gains.  Crude oil prices climbed on the back of economic recovery hopes, hitting a 10-month high of $73.89. US stock futures point to a moderately higher open on Monday.  Dow Jones industrial average futures rose 34, or 0.4%, to 9,523. Standard &#38; Poor&#8217;s 500 index futures rose 3.30, or 0.3%, to 1,028.50, while Nasdaq 100 index futures rose 2.00, or 0.1%, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[GameStop Corporation (GME), the biggest video game retailer, reported dismal second-quarter results with a low-single-digit decline in the top line, but a double-digit fall in the bottom line. These were driven by sluggish demand for video game consoles and new software due to the lack of a popular game title release. However, the company’s share in the new video game market increased by 2.0%. Earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter under review came in at 23 cents, below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 29 cents, and plummeted 32.4% year over year from 34 cents reported in the prior-year quarter. Revenue for the quarter declined 3.7% to $1,738.5 million compared to $1,804.4 million reported in the year ago quarter, following an increase of 9.2% in the first quarter of 2009. ]]></description>

Shanghai&#8217;s main index jumped 126 points, or 4.5%, to 2,911.58, while Japan&#8217;s Nikkei 225 stock average climbed 179.41 points, or 1.8%, to 10,383.41.  Hong Kong&#8217;s Hang Seng rose 374.63, or 2%, to 20,336.36.  South Korea’s Kospi advanced 2% to 1,576.39.

		<description><![CDATA[In February, we&#8217;ve seen several retailers deliver better-than-expected results for the fourth quarter. That resulted in some eye-popping one-day gains of 10%, 20% and even 30%. In most cases, the upside was due to extremely low investor expectations associated with the 2008 holiday season and not an improvement in their underlying business. Despite the positive reaction to retail earnings reports, we remain negative on the retail industry. Our negative view of the group is based on the weak economic environment, higher savings rates and de-leveraging in the financial system. These factors all point to continued pressure on consumer spending. The weak economy has caused many to lose their jobs, while many others live in fear of losing theirs. This elevated level of fear is causing many consumers to cut back ]]></description>
