		<description><![CDATA[The International Paper (IP) – Temple-Inland (TIN) merger has been delayed as both parties have agreed to extend the U.S. Department of Justice&#8217;s (DOJ) review period till February 13, 2012. The extended timeline will provide both parties the time to resolve DOJ&#8217;s concerns regarding the transaction and enter into a definitive agreement on terms that are acceptable to all. The DOJ approval remains the only hurdle in the creation of a company that would enjoy about 40% share of the North American corrugated packaging materials market. In December last year, the merger had been approved by more than 98% of Temple’s shareholders. The pursuit of Temple-Inland had begun in June with International Paper making a $3.3 billion or $30.60 per share offer, all in cash, to buy the former.

We noticed the quarter’s estimates treading in a positive direction, and considering the past trends, we continue to believe another earnings beat is on the cards. Prior Quarter Recap IBM reported strong second quarter earnings and revenues that surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Results were positively impacted by IBM’s key initiatives, such as Business Analytics, Smarter Planet and Cloud offerings that reported strong growth in the first half of 2011. Moreover, the company has been selected by many government agencies from different countries in the Asia-Pacific to provide services and technical support for their operations, thus ensuring a steady flow of orders and market share gains across various regions. ]]></description>

The broader Composite 20 City index (which includes the cities in the C-10) edged down by 0.06% on the month and is down 4.55% from a year ago. Prices for both indexes rose on a not-seasonally-adjusted (SA) basis (which is how you will probably and incorrectly see most of the reports presented). Of the 20 cities, eight were up on the month-to-month basis (SA), and twelve were down. Year over year, though, all twenty were down. The rise in the C-10 was the third in a row. The overall indexes are down 31.90% (C-10) and 31.87% (C-20) from the (4/06) ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Eastman Kodak Co. (EK) has put a portfolio of its patents on digital imaging, up for sale. The move entails attracting potential buyers and converting the company’s intellectual property into cash. Kodak’s digital-imaging patents are estimated to worth $3 billion, of late. In July, Kodak announced selling 1,100 patents on digital imaging equivalent to about 10% of its portfolio. The patents may include one that protects image-preview technology used in cameras. The company hired Investment bank, Lazard Ltd, to search for &#8220;strategic alternatives&#8221; for the patents. Lazard thus began marketing Kodak’s patents portfolio, targeting a large, strategic buyer in the wireless industry. The name of the potential buyer has not been disclosed yet.

While the rebound is more than welcome, it is still a very dismal rate of New Home sales. Offsetting the decline was an upward revision to the April numbers of 3,000 to 326,000. Thus relative to where we thought we were, it could be seen as a 1.2% decrease. The May level was, however, substantially better than the expected rate of 305,000. Still, the 12 lowest months on record (back to 1963) for New Home Sales, have all been in the last year. We are up nicely from a year ago, but that was against an “easy comp,” as sales were inflated by the rush to ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Before the opening bell, FedEx Corporation (FDX), the world&#8217;s second-largest package delivery company, reported fourth quarter 2011 adjusted earnings of $1.75 per share. The quarter’s earnings outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3 cents and increased 32% from $1.33 earned in the year-ago quarter. Stronger results were aided by a higher fuel surcharge that offset the rising fuel prices. For fiscal 2011, FedEx reported adjusted earnings of $4.90 per share, up 30% from $3.76 in 2010. Total revenue climbed 12% year over year to $10.55 billion in the reported quarter and surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $10.36 billion. The outperformance was attributable to improved ground and international express shipments as well as strong yield initiatives. Further, the Freight segment returned to profitability during the quarter. Fiscal 2011 revenue increased ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Tuesday, Ben Bernanke said US economic growth remained “frustratingly slow from the perspective of millions of unemployed and underemployed workers”. Such comments from the Federal Reserve Chairman kept the investors bearish as the markets suffered losses for the fifth consecutive trading day. Markets had been moving up initially but Bernanke’s comments ensured benchmarks extended their stay in the red, yet again. The markets have now declined for five consecutive trading day and the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) lost 0.2% to settle at 12,070.81. After dropping below the psychological level of 1,300 for the first time since March 23, 2011, on Monday, the Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P500) continued to be weighed down as it declined again, by 0.1%, to close at 1,284.94.

The Case-Schiller Composite 10 City index (C-10) fell 0.23% on a seasonally adjusted basis, and is down 2.60% from a year ago. The broader Composite 20 City index (which includes the cities in the C-10) fell by 0.18% on the month and is down 3.26% from a year ago. The second down leg of housing prices continues.

		<description><![CDATA[New Home Sales in March rose by 11.1% from March, to a rate of 300,000. Relative to a year ago, sales are down 21.9%. While the rebound is more than welcome, it is still a very dismal rate of new home sales. In additional good news about the direction of new home sales, the February sales levels were revised up to an annual rate of 270,000 from 250,000. That is still the worst month on record, but not by as big a margin. Thus, relative to where we thought we were, it could be seen as a 20.0% increase. The March level was substantially better than the expected rate of 280,000. The eleven lowest months on record (back to 1963) for new home sales have all been in the last ]]></description>

(IBM) is set to boost its cloud computing ambitions with the launch of its new computing service “Smart Cloud”. Smart Cloud offers cost-effective data analysis, supply chain management and sales management capabilities to big companies that incur significant IT costs related to these operations. The Smart Cloud would enable the companies to store their data on IBM’s servers and access it securely over the Internet. IBM’s sales pitch is focused on security and reliability, since the tech behemoth will be allowing the companies to configure resources to suit their own requirements for security, government compliance and backup. According to IBM, the Smart Cloud will enable it to differentiate its cloud services from the usage-based resources currently offered by its rivals Amazon Inc. (AMZN), ]]></description>

In a very faint silver lining to an otherwise dismal report, the January rate was revised up to 301,000 from 284,000. Thus relative to where we thought we were, it could be seen as a 12.0% decline. The level was substantially worse than the expected rate of 288,000. The ten lowest months on record (back to 1963) for New Home Sales have all been in the last ten months. February is a new all-time record low. We are down sharply from a year ago, and it is not like a year ago was a great time in the homebuilding industry either. Relative to the peak ]]></description>

Of the 20 cities, only one (Washington DC, and it was only up 0.05%) posted a gain on the month, while 19 saw prices fall. Year over year, five metro areas saw gains and 15 suffered losses. In August, there were also ]]></description>

About the only good thing you can say about this report is that it was not the absolutely worst month on record. That dubious honor is still held by August 2010, with a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 275,000. Relative to a year ago, sales are down 28.9%.

		<description><![CDATA[New home sales in November rose by 5.5% from October, but that puts them at a dismal rate of 290,000. The percentage increase is a bit exaggerated as well, since the October numbers were revised down to 275,000 from 283,000. Thus relative to where we thought we were, the increase is more like 2.5%. The seven lowest months on record (back to 1963) for new home sales have all been in the last seven months. About the only good thing you can say about this report is that it was not the absolutely worst month on record. That dubious honor is still held by August 2010, with a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 274,000. Relative to a year ago, sales are down 21.2%. It&#8217;s not like a year ago was ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[FedEx Corporation (FDX) reported second quarter of fiscal 2011 financial results that fell below the Zacks Consensus Estimates. Quarterly adjusted EPS of $1.16 was below the Zacks Consensus Estimates of $1.31. Management cited higher fuel costs and the reinstatement of employee compensation and benefit expenditures as the primary reasons for the poor performance. Second quarter total revenue was $9,632 million. This was an improvement of 12% year over year, but well below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $9,749 million. We believe this was mainly due to slower-than-expected growth in international express deliveries. International air-shipment in some of the European countries reduced as a result of ongoing economic turmoil. GAAP net income in the reported quarter was $283 million or 89 cents per share compared to a net income of $345 ]]></description>

		<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 July, home prices started to slip again, but unevenly across the country. The Case-Schiller Composite 10 City index (C-10) rose 0.03% on a seasonally adjusted basis, and is up 4.01% from a year ago. The broader Composite 20 City index (which includes the cities in the C-10) fell by 0.13% on the month and is up 3.13% from a year ago. In June, the year-over-year gains were 5.02% for the C-10 and 4.22% for the C-20, so it looks like the year-over-year gains are rolling over. Of the 20 cities, only four posted gains on the month, while 16 saw prices fall. Year-over-year, 10 metro areas saw gains and 10 suffered losses. In June, 15 were up year over year and 5 were down. There is a seasonal pattern ]]></description>
