This provides a competitive advantage to the company and reinforces its dominant position in the market. Moreover, over the years, the company has taken steps to sell higher margin premium products while improving productivity and efficiency of its facilities through initiatives, such as the adoption of a management control system based on zero-based budgeting that avoids unnecessary expenses. This provides a strong upside potential to the company’s profitability in the future. Further, driven by strong top-line performance along with improved margins, AmBev’s fourth-quarter 2011 earnings of 56 cents (R$0.98) per share surged 12% from ]]></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[Stocks in the Consumer Staples sector carried out their traditional defensive role as the broader equity markets came under pressure over concerns about the prolonged weak US economy and the debt crisis in Europe. But the group has been a laggard as momentum returned to the market over the last three months. In 2011, the sector index grew 10.5% versus a flat finish for the S&#38;P 500 index. The group’s defensive attributes stem from its ability to buck sluggish economic growth as food, beverage, household products and cosmetics companies that manufacture and market non-durable consumables are considered essential to daily life, such as food, drink, toothpaste, deodorants, toilet paper, etc. Although staples’ top-line is expected to continue the uptrend of the last few quarters going forward, margins will remain under ]]></description>

		<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>

		<description><![CDATA[by Jason Jenkins, Investment U Research Thursday, October 6, 2011 What do you do in a bear market? Most people would tell you to run and get out. Thousands of investors are flocking to the perceived safety of Treasury bonds. But as Alexander Green writes, the Treasury bond market is a calamity waiting to happen. And if you invest in short-term Treasury notes, you may as well stuff all your cash in the mattress, because you’ll get the same return. What those who had success in the market know is that you don’t make money following the herd. You find opportunities. As strange as it may seem, geopolitical dysfunction in the United States and Europe may just provide that opportune moment. Opportunities Exist Despite U.S. and EU Recession Fears Last ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We reaffirm our Neutral recommendation for The Coca-Cola Co. (KO) following the second quarter 2011 earnings of $1.17 per share, which exceeded the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny. It also exceeded the prior-year quarter earnings of $1.06 and were ahead of the company’s long-term growth target. In both the current and the prior-year quarters, Coca-Cola was impacted by restructuring charges and costs related to global productivity initiatives as well as the acquisition of the North American operations of bottler Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc (CCE) in the third quarter of 2010. The North American segment was one of the largest contributors, accounting for over 30% to total revenue. However, it delivered sluggish volume trends for almost two years. Since the third quarter of 2010, it has started reporting positive volume growth, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Benchmarks snapped their three-day winning streak as investors grew anxious about Europe’s lingering debt crisis that is now threatening the global economy. Commodity shares dragged down indices as energy and raw materials lost their sheen after a steep drop in their prices. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) dropped 1.6% to settle at 11,010.90. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) was down 2.1% and finished the day at 1,151.06. The Nasdaq Composite Index slid 2.2% and closed at 2,491.58. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) jumped to hover above 41. On the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange and Nasdaq, consolidated volumes were roughly 7.96 billion shares, which was in line with this year&#8217;s average.

		<description><![CDATA[Hewlett-Packard Co. (HPQ) is planning an extensive restructuring, as announced by its chief executive officer (CEO) Leo Apotheker. 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. Goodbye to PSG Segment Although HP has maintained its leadership position in worldwide PC shipments for many years, margins in the Personal Systems Group have lagged other areas of its business. The segment generated single-digit margin growth in the last few quarters, less than any of the other ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Dow Jones Industrial Average see-sawed between positive and negative territory, while the markets finished mixed on Friday amid global economic concerns. Encouraging economic reports helped the markets prevent another heavy slide on the closing day of the week, but they were not strong enough to wash out the huge losses suffered through the week as the benchmarks ended their worst week in almost two years. The Dow closed with modest gains at 11,444.61, up 0.5%. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) declined marginally, by 0.06% to settle at 1,199.38. The tech-laden Nasdaq Composite Index shed 0.9% and closed the day at 2,532.41. In what was the worst week for markets in more than two years, the Dow, S&#38;P 500 and the Nasdaq plunged 5.8%, 7.2% and 8.1%, respectively. ]]></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>

It’s also successfully navigated from being a technology hardware company to a software and consulting services company. But IBM’s most startling transformation is how it became a global enterprise in terms of people, organization and revenue. IBM still employs 105,000 workers in America, and this number is growing. But it also has more than 300,000 foreign nationals on the payroll.  Big Blue has spread decision-making authority across the globe:  Global procurement is based in China while data processing and accounting is in India, Brazil and the Philippines.

		<description><![CDATA[by Justin Dove, Investment U Research Thursday, July 28, 2011 There’s a negative connotation of the U.S. dollar losing value to foreign currencies. It makes some sense since it lowers the American consumer’s purchasing power. However, it’s not all bad. There is a positive side to the dollar being lower in value, too. U.S. companies that export goods like a weak dollar. It means they can make goods relatively cheaply and collect more valuable currencies in exchange for their goods in other countries. This creates an inflow of money from other countries and hopefully spurs employment from increased demand… The Yuan vs. The Dollar Although the euro is also experiencing weakness due to turmoil with debt in Greece and other countries, it still gained 19 percent on the dollar over ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The political deadlock in Washington weighed down the markets on the opening day of the week, as lawmakers struggled to find a solution to the impasse over the debt-ceiling issue. The day was also marked by disappointing corporate results, and the fear-gauge index posted its biggest percentage jump in two weeks, reflecting heightened investor anxiety. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) plunged 145 points in intra-day trade before recouping losses partially and finally settled at 12,592.80, dropping 88 points or 0.7%. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) shed 0.6% to close the day at 1,337.43. The Nasdaq Composite Index was down 0.6% and signed off at 2,842.80. Investor jitteriness was clearly reflected in the fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) and low volumes. The VIX soared 10.5%, recording its highest ]]></description>

The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) gained 1.2% to end the day at 1,345.02. The tech-laden Nasdaq Composite Index closed at 2,858.83, after gaining 0.9%.

Bank results are benefiting from improving credit quality, though top-line gains still remain a challenge. The overall positive tone of this morning&#8217;s earnings reports should help the market shake off some of the negativity from Monday&#8217;s sell off. The better than expected June Housing Starts and Permits numbers this morning should also sentiment.Bank of America (BAC) reported results that were inline with its pre-announced multi-billion mortgage settlement.

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). That is an interesting cross section of U.S. business.

		<description><![CDATA[Pepsico Inc. (PEP) is determined to regain its lost position as the #2 US beverage in the world. Pepsi to meet this goal wants to go back to its roots and promote its flagship product Pepsi Cola once again. Keeping this in mind, Pepsi launches its new advertising campaign for Pepsi-Cola after almost three years. It is a pronounced signal that the retail giant is focusing on its biggest brand that had sank to No. 3 in U.S. soda sales last year, defeated by Diet Coke. As reported by The Wall Street Journal, in the U.S., Pepsi-Cola and Diet Pepsi saw sales drop 4.8% and 5.2% last year, compared to Coca-Cola and Diet Coke’s modest slip of only 0.5% and 1%.

		<description><![CDATA[Markets ended their four-day winning streak, tumbling in the late session, as the Federal Reserve slashed its growth forecast and provided no indications of further economic stimulus. All the benchmarks dropped by around 0.7% during a thin trading session, and investors were mostly spurred to sell their shares. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) closed at 12,109.67, after dropping 0.7%. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) declined 0.7% to settle at 1,287.17. The Nasdaq Composite Index also shed 0.7% to close at 2,669.19. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) dropped modestly to hover below 19. On the New York Stock Exchange, AMEX and Nasdaq, consolidated volumes were 6.2 billion shares, lower than the daily average of 7.58 billion.

		<description><![CDATA[Going by Bloomberg, the leading global snack food and beverages company, PepsiCo Inc. (PEP), has entered into a new four-year unsecured revolving credit agreement with a consortium of world&#8217;s leading investment bankers for optimizing its capital structure. Citicorp (C), JPMorgan Chase &#38; Co. (JPM) and Bank of America Corp. (BAC) offering a sum of $325.0 million each emerged as the major contributor to the new $2.88 billion revolving credit line facility. However, PepsiCo may increase the size of the new credit facility by up to $3.5 billion based on its agreement with the lending institutions. The new credit facility will replace the company&#8217;s prior 364-days unsecured revolving credit facility of $2,575.0 million, entered on June 16, 2010. Under the agreement, the company was also permitted to request for the renewal ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A volatile day of trading came to a close with benchmarks ending in the red and as it stands there are now clear signs of markets heading into a fifth consecutive week of losses. Investors refrained from betting big ahead of the crucial jobs report from the Labor Department, which will likely add to concerns about a slowing economy. Markets had initially garnered some gains, but these were soon washed out as investors remained worried about the jobs report. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) had dropped 100 points in the mid-session but finally recovered to end at 12,248.55, dropping 41.59 points or 0.3%. The Dow is most likely en route to its fifth straight week of losses, the first time since July 23, 2004. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 ]]></description>

We are seeing evidence of this at present &#8212; consumer staple stocks have started shining again as concerns about the economy’s growth momentum have taken center stage. The fundamental explanation for this behavior is that food, beverage, household products and cosmetics companies manufacture and market brand name consumable products, most of which are considered essential to daily life, such as food, drink, toothpaste, deodorants, toilet paper, etc. Since product demand is relatively stable, the companies generally report earnings in line with expectations. Beverage companies, however, are able to grow faster at the high single-digit to low double-digit rate given growing penetration rates. But, cosmetics companies can grow earnings a ]]></description>

Keeping us busy will be a slew of positive reports from a fairly representative slice of corporate leaders, ranging from Coke (KO) and Ford (F) to 3M (MMM) and United Parcel (UPS). Online retail giant Amazon (AMZN) reports after the markets close today. Ford sped past earnings and revenue expectations, with quarterely results the best in more than 10 years. This solid result should help the automaker wipe out the disappointment from its last quarterly result. Also coming ahead of top- and bottom-line expectations was 3M.

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, in an effort to alleviate the huge debt burden, President Barack Obama is mulling to sell more than 14,000 unnecessary federal constructions. According to an administrative official, Obama wants to create an independent panel that will review and recommend how the federal government can sell off its superfluous real estate or consolidate thousands of not-so-used constructions to save billions in taxpayer funds, the Associated Press reported last week. Though selling government property has flared up controversy in recent years, what else could the government do to rid itself of a debt pile? At least it’s better to save taxpayers’ hard-earned money than keeping surplus &#8212; though time-honored &#8212; government properties for charity. We do agree with one of the controversies that selling government property will never solve the debt ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Steve McDonald, Investment U Analyst Thursday, March 10, 2011 Warren Buffett’s annual letter to his Berkshire Hathaway shareholders (released on February 26) has some very interesting information and tips that I think you can use… What Cash Says About Value: Buffett has $38 billion dollars in cash – the largest cash position he’s ever held. He says he’s looking for a big acquisition, but that much cash may say more about how he sees current valuation in the stock market. Value, Value, Value: Despite Buffett’s huge cash position, many of his favorite holdings are at or below what he paid for them. If you know anything about the Oracle of Omaha, he only buys companies he thinks are undervalued. So if you buy into his value thinking, the following ]]></description>

On a sectoral basis, share prices of energy companies rose for the second consecutive day amid fresh tensions surrounding the Suez and protests in another oil rich country Bahrain. On Wednesday, the Philadelphia oil services index along with some other key indexes showed prices of crude were rising. Shares of Marathon Oil Corp (NYSE:MRO), Suncor Energy (NYSE:SU) and ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP) gained 1.56%, 2.50%, and 1.66% to close at $50.08, $45.17, and $75.52 respectively. Tulsa-based Williams’ (NYSE:WMB) share prices increased 8.36% after the company announced plans to separate its exploration and production unit from its energy infrastructure unit.

Consequently, we downgrade the stock to Underperform from Neutral. Plexus is a leading provider of electronic manufacturing services (EMS) to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in a wide range of industries, including wireline/networking, wireless infrastructure, industrial/commercial, defense/security/aerospace, and medical. First Quarter Highlights Plexus Corp. reported mixed first quarter 2011 results. While earnings per share (EPS) beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny, revenue missed the Consensus Estimate by 1.4%. The quarter’s EPS of 61 cents increased 56.4% from a year-ago quarter but fell 6.2% from the previous quarter. Quarterly revenues came in at $565.8 million, an increase of 31.5% from $430.4 million in the year-ago quarter. Sequentially, revenues increased ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What impact should Egypt have on your investing decisions? The answer is not much, unless you believe you have particularly good insight into Middle East affairs. My rationale is that Egypt accounts for a small portion of the world economy and, more importantly, that the events unfolding are unpredictable. Egypt&#8217;s economy generated about $200 billion in 2010, a small enough size not to disrupt global growth. It is also small enough not to account for a significant position in most international funds. For example, the country comprises just 9.3% of T. Rowe Price’s Africa &#38; Middle East Fund (TRAMX). The only way to get direct exposure is to specifically seek it out by investing in a fund like Market Vectors Egypt Index ETF (EGPT). I will have more to say ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Alexander Green, Investment U’s Chief Investment Strategist Monday, November 8, 2010: Issue #1383 For months, U.S. public companies have sat on record piles of cash – more than $1.8 trillion. Now, many are finally putting it to work. But they’re not hiring more workers, building more factories, or paying down debt. Instead, they’re using the money to buy back their own shares. So far this year, companies have announced that they’ll purchase more than $273 billion of their own shares. That’s more than five times as much as last year, according to Birinyi Associates. Some economists argue that this money could be better put to work in job-generating activities that might produce economic growth. However, management’s first obligation is to shareholders, not economists or “the public.” And if your ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Tony D’Altorio, Investment U Research Thursday, October 28, 2010 Expect the 2010 U.S. census to show profound changes to the “typical” U.S. consumer. According to the Brookings Institution, 83% of U.S. population growth in the last ten years came from ethnic minority groups. Together, their purchasing power rose by $1 trillion from 2000 to 2008. Now exceeding $2 trillion, it’s set to grow by half by 2013. So many companies’ success depends on wooing these consumers. No longer can they rely on a vast homogenous market. David Lawenda, president of advertising sales for Spanish-language broadcaster Univision, says the ad industry must switch “from multicultural marketing to marketing to a multicultural nation.” And as Jim Stengel, former chief marketing officer for Proctor &#38; Gamble, put it, minority groups “set trends ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dr Pepper Snapple Group Inc. (DPS) reported third-quarter 2010 adjusted earnings of 64 cents per share, compared with 59 cents in the year-ago period. Quarterly earnings also topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 60 cents. During the quarter, Dr Pepper’s net sales grew 2% year over year to $1.46 billion, narrowly missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.47 billion. The year-on-year growth was mainly attributable to higher sales volume, favorable foreign currency translations and revenues from the PepsiCo Inc. (PEP) license. Earlier this year, Dr Pepper signed a 25-year licensing deal with PepsiCo under which the latter will distribute Dr Pepper, Crush and Schweppes brands in the U.S. Dr Pepper received $900 million in cash from PepsiCo, which is being recorded as net sales, proportionally over a period of 25 ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. (CCE) recorded earnings per share of 58 cents a share (including results from Norway and Sweden), which topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 54 cents. Prior-year quarter earnings were 50 cents. Results for the reported quarter include Norway and Sweden while excluding the Coca Cola Enterprises, North American operation, post divestiture. Results for the prior-year comparable quarter, however, exclude Norway and Sweden and include the North American operation. In February, Coca-Cola Enterprise, in collaboration with the beverage giant Coca-Cola Company (KO), broached a deal, which involved the acquisition of the entire North American business of the bottler by Coca-Cola. Coca-Cola Enterprises is now a newly registered company comprising CCE’s legacy European bottling operations, and the bottling operations in Norway and Sweden acquired from The Coca-Cola Company.

		<description><![CDATA[by Tony D’Altorio, Investment U Research Friday, October 22, 2010 A recent survey by TNS, the market researcher owned by WPP ADR (Nasdaq: WPPGY), showed the Internet as perhaps the most important form of communication. It also found that 61% of people with Internet access around the world used it daily. Only 54% watched television, 36% listened to the radio and 32% read a newspaper every day. Of course, the review was conducted of Internet users, so those figures make some sense. But that wasn’t all the study found… It highlighted how emerging markets are overtaking North America and Western Europe in social networking. And it pointed out regional variations in online behavior. A full third of the world’s Internet users now live in China, India, Brazil, Russia and Indonesia. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Federal Reserve continues to be the enemy of savers. The minutes of the September Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, released earlier this week, signaled the possibility of new actions to bring long-term interest rates down further. Specifically, several committee members stated that if the pace of the economic recovery does not strengthen or if inflation does not intensify, &#8220;they would consider it appropriate to take action soon.&#8221; What could this action be? Most likely, it would involve the Fed purchasing more Treasury securities. Since bond yields are inversely related to bond prices, more demand for Treasuries should effectively drive down yields. The FOMC also considered providing some type of target rate for either inflation or nominal GDP. (A nominal rate includes the impact of inflation. Conversely, a real ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[China’s surprise decision to raise interest rates took a toll on global markets as concerns mounted the move would slow the country’s economy and have a ripple-down effect. With the foreclosure crisis keeping investors on tenterhooks, Beijing’s decision to tighten rates came at a rather inappropriate time. The Dow average dropped below 11,000 for the first time since August. The blue-chip index fell 165 points, or 1.5%, to 10978. The broader S&#38;P’s 500-stock index dropped 19 points, 1.6%, to 1165.90. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite index, weighed down by Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and IBM (NYSE:IBM), dropped nearly 44 points, or 1.8%, to 2436.95. Declining issues beat those that rose in price by a five-to-one margin. As investors adjusted their risk portfolios, the prices of government bonds rose while the dollar had its ]]></description>
