Such factors include the past performance, holdings, sector exposure and concentration. Beyond these examples, expenses can also play an important role in the decision making process as well. The expense ratio of an asset fund refers to the total percentage of fund assets that are taken on a yearly basis to pay for administrative, management, advertising and all other costs that go into running an ETF. While these ratios are much smaller for ETFs than they are for mutual funds on average, investors should note that expenses still play a crucial role in determining the best fund in a segment. Furthermore, while many products may appear similar on the surface—with similar industry, holdings, and market cap ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We reiterate our Neutral recommendation on MICROS Systems Inc. (MCRS). Even though a few important contract wins dominated the overall performance of the company, its failure to get rid of a few lingering downsides obstructed its exit from the precarious zone. The major highlights of the past quarter were the continued winning and extension of projects.

Investors’ interests have been of utmost importance to management under any condition. Currently, MICROS has a 2.2 million share repurchase authorization that was announced in fiscal first quarter 2012. With regard to this, the company ]]></description>

(MCRS) designs, makes, markets and services enterprise information solutions for the hospitality and specialty retail industries. The company is expected to report results for the fourth quarter and fiscal 2009 on Aug. 27.
