		<description><![CDATA[The Institute for Supply Management’s (ISM) manufacturing survey rose to a reading of 60.4 from 59.6 in February, an increase of 0.8 points and above the 60.0 reading that was expected. Any reading over 50 indicates that the manufacturing economy is expanding, so this is a very strong reading, indicating that the manufacturing economy is not only expanding but doing so at an accelerating rate relative to March. And it is at the highest level so far in this economic cycle. It is the highest reading since June of 2004, and is the fifth highest overall reading since the start of 1988! It is also a huge improvement over the rates we were seeing a year ago. The ISM is a good coincident indicator of the economy, plunging during recessions ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We recently downgraded the shares of Hanesbrands Inc. (HBI) from Outperform to Neutral. This is because intense competition from established players, a debt-heavy balance sheet and exposure to adverse foreign currency translations limit the above-market performance of the company. Hanesbrands faces intense competition in both domestic and international markets from other established players Incorporatedluding Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRKA and BRKB, through subsidiaries Russell Corp. and Fruit of the Loom Inc.), Nike Inc. (NKE), Adidas AG, Warnaco Group Inc. (WRC), Maidenform Brands Inc. (MFB) and Gildan Activewear Inc. (GIL). Moreover, the company also competes with private label products of specialty retailers, such as Victoria’s Secret, Old Navy and Gap (GAP). Consequently, the company is under severe stress to maintain profitability. The company’s balance sheet is highly levered, as indicated by a ]]></description>
