		<description><![CDATA[Stocks advanced for a second straight day as better-than-anticipated retail sales and housing data continued to point toward economic strength. European Central Bank’s assertion that it would not abandon its plan to buy government bonds helped contain eurozone worries, helping stocks extend their gains. Financials led on the upside, after Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) raised its rating on the sector to “overweight,” saying an improving economy is helping U.S. banks’ operations. The upgrade sent Dow components Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) and JP Morgan (NYSE:JPM) up 3.5% and 1.16%, respectively. The Dow average, after its 250-point surge Wednesday, added another 107 points to its tally, marking its best two-day run since early July. The tech-focused Nasdaq Composite index gained nearly 30 points, or 1.2%, to 2579.35. The widely tacked S&#38;P 500 index ]]></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[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[by Tony D’Altorio, Investment U Research Monday, October 18, 2010 At first glance, the food and drug industries have very little in common. One is a relatively slow and safe business, the other a high-risk, high-reward venture. Yet these days, they seem to be moving in a common direction… straight towards the clinical nutrition and nutraceuticals business. Broadly speaking, clinical nutrition and nutraceuticals offer a wide range of products. They make foodstuffs and non-prescription medications that slow or prevent illnesses. Basically, nutraceuticals take the fortified food market – worth an expected $175 billion worldwide this year – up to the next level. About five years ago, energy drinks mainstreamed the sector, but it still has a lot more to grow. Knowing that, who can blame multinational food companies and the ]]></description>

While they foretold the end of days, there are five new riders in town, with a new prophecy: There will be no double-dip recession. The market will rally. The economy will recover. The reason for the confidence? These five “horsemen” are riding on the backs of strong quarterly earnings reports. Ones that carry significant meaning for the economy and stock market. Here’s the deal… Five Windows into the Economic World Quarterly earnings season started a week ago – on October 7. During the first week of reports, five very important companies released their numbers: Alcoa, Inc (NYSE: AA), Pepsico, Inc (NYSE: PEP), CSX, Inc. (NYSE: CSX), Intel Corp.

Standard &#38; Poor&#8217;s predicts that per share operating earnings for the S&#38;P 500 will rise 31% this quarter on a year-over-year basis. Thomson Reuters calculates the consensus growth estimate as being slightly more conservative at 24%. Either way, this should be the fourth consecutive quarter of profit growth. Dirk van Dijk at Zacks.com is looking for a mid-single-digit increase in revenues. He also believes that widening net margins will have the biggest impact on profit growth. Van Dijk observes that financial companies should show the biggest year-over-year improvement in profitability, thanks to easy comparisons. The summer&#8217;s economic speed bump will likely be reflected in these numbers, though it&#8217;s worth noting that ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pepsico Inc. (PEP) is scheduled to release its second-quarter 2010 results on Tuesday, July 20. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company is $1.09 a share. First Quarter Performance Pepsico Inc. reported strong first quarter results with earnings of 89 cents per share. This was well above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 75 cents and up 23% year over year. Profits were driven by the acquisition of its two anchor bottlers, volume gains in its worldwide snacks and international beverage businesses, balanced investments and lower costs across its operations. Net sales for the quarter increased by 13.4% year over year to $9.4 billion. Gross margins for the quarter contracted 233 basis points (bps) to 52.4% versus 54.7% in the comparable prior-year quarter. The operating profit for the quarter also reduced ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Board of Directors of PepsiCo (PEP) raised the annual dividend by 7% to $1.92 per share from $1.82 earlier. This is the 38th consecutive annual increase in dividend. The dividend is expected to be payable on June 30, 2010 to shareholders on record as of June 4, 2010. The company’s strong balance sheet and its ability to generate healthy cash flow allow it to increase shareholder value through higher dividends. Cash in fiscal 2009 totaled $3.9 billion. The improvement was driven by better working capital management. The debt-to-capitalization ratio stood at 30%. Apart from increasing dividends, PepsiCo uses its financial strength to expand its business. The company continues to invest in product innovation and increased consumer marketing, thereby fueling strong sales for its brands, which offer consumers high quality ]]></description>

Although the exact value of the deal is not yet finalized, the transaction is expected to be valued at approximately $15 million Incorporatedluding debt. This move by Coca Cola follows a similar deal signed by its biggest rival PepsiCo (PEP), who aims to close the acquisition of its two biggest bottlers, Pepsi Bottling Group Inc. (PBG) and Pepsi Americas Inc. this week. This deal was announced in August 2009. Once the deal is finalized, Coca Cola would buy the North American operations of Coca Cola Enterprises and some of the assets in Scandinavia and Germany.

Some of the more noteworthy firms reporting are New York Times (NYT), Allstate (ALL), Walt Disney (DIS), Prudential (PRU) and Pepsico (PEP). Unlike the last two weeks, the economic data calendar is relatively light. Monday - No releases of note. Tuesday - Data on wholesale inventories is released. Normally this is not a big market mover, but given the outsized contribution that slower inventory destocking had in the fourth quarter GDP, this report might take on extra importance as it will point to which way the GDP numbers end up getting revised. In December, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Pepsi Bottling Group Inc. (PBG) reported fourth-quarter results before the opening bell on Tuesday. The company swung to a net income of $90 million from a net loss of $271 million in the year earlier quarter. Excluding certain special items, earnings per share came in at 59 cents, easily topping the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 43 cents derived from 8 covering analysts. The better-than-expected result was primarily attributable to management initiatives to control overheads coupled with the absence of impairment charges, which existed in the year-ago period. The company has a good record of beating earnings expectations as it has topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three out of previous four quarters with an average positive surprise of 30%, or 3 cents. The earnings beat in the fourth quarter ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Tony Daltorio, Investment U Research After a decade of global consolidation, beer brewers have greedily hit just about every notable location. Except Mexico, that is – the ninth-largest beer market in the world. But Mexican beverage and retail conglomerate Femsa – formerly known as Fomento Economico Mexicano (NYSE: FMX) – now faces the end of its 25-year Mexican duopoly with rival Grupo Modelo (PINK: GPMCY). Accepting the inevitable, Grupo Modelo will likely negotiate a full selloff to Anheuser-Busch InBev NV (NYSE: BUD) sometime in the near future (BUD already owns 50%). And that puts some very serious pressure on Femsa, which doesn’t stand a chance against an international powerhouse with billions to throw around on advertising every year. Trying to see the glass as half full, Femsa has begun ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[PepsiCo Inc. (PEP) reported strong third quarter results with earnings of $1.09 per share. This was 6 cents above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.03 and up 10.1% year-over-year. The strong results were driven by the company’s balanced approach towards product innovation and cost control measures. However, net sales for the quarter declined marginally by 1.5% year-over-year to $11.1 billion. The decline was attributable to negative sales in Latin America Foods – LAF (-9.6%), PepsiCo America Beverages – PAB (-9.1%) and Europe (-2%). This more than offset the growth in Frito-Lay North America – FLNA (+4.6%), Quaker Foods North America – QFNA (+6.9%), Middle East/Asia/Africa – MEAA (+8.6%) and PepsiCo International (+2.5%). The FLNA segment reported a 3% increase in volume and a 5% increase in revenue. Volume growth reflects ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Kraft Foods Inc. (KFT), a leading manufacturer and marketer of packaged food products and grocery products worldwide, on Monday, September 7, 2009 has offered a takeover bid for Cadbury (CBY) at a purchase price of $16.2 billion (£10.2 billion). The offer price represents a 31% premium over the closing price on Friday, September 4, 2009. Thereafter, shares of Cadbury jumped 41%. However, Cadbury has rejected the offer, claiming that the total offer price of $16.2 billion (£10.2 billion) amounted to a significant undervaluation, as it expects to receive a bid for as much as $21 billion. The other major contenders for Cadbury are The Hershey Company (HMC), Kellogg’s (K) and PepsiCo (PEP). Kraft continues to pursue the takeover, as management at Kraft believes the deal (if successful) would create a ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Coca-Cola Co. (KO) and its bottlers are planning to invest more than $5 billion in Mexico over the next five years. The investment is primarily targeted at developing infrastructure, technology, social and environmental programs, marketing, training and products with special emphasis on employment generation. The new investment is expected to revive Mexico’s economy, which is facing the brunt of the recession due to reduction in imports by the U.S., its primary trade partner. Further, a decrease in tourism due to the swine-flu epidemic has worsened the condition. Recently, Coca-Cola established a new plant for a juice company Jugos del Valle in Tepotzotlan , Mexico . The total investment for this plant amounted to $200 million, which is expected to generate employment opportunities for about 1,500 people. In addition, the plant ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tony Daltorio, The Investment U Research Team According to a recent research study for the Financial Times prepared by the consulting firm Wolff Olins, the world’s next top brands are set to rise in the east. A strategist at Wolff Olins, Melanie McShane, stated that “It used to be possible to be a global brand by dominating the US market. That’s changing rapidly. Now you have to be number one in Asia.” The findings of the Wolff Olins research echo research by the US-based consulting firm, Bain &#38; Co. Their research estimated that one-third of the FT Global 500 companies could come from emerging markets by 2015 thanks to what it calls a “seismic shift” away from developed markets. A partner with Bain &#38; Co. said that established western consumer ]]></description>
