		<description><![CDATA[Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) let us know last Tuesday that once again the company knocked it out the park. It had an unbelievable second quarter in 2012, largely due to strong iPhone sales – again. Analysts last month tried to read between the lines on earnings reports from Verizon (NYSE: VZ) and AT&#38;T (NYSE: T), and figured there would be lower iPhones unit sales. The stock got pretty beat up for week. However, Apple showed that iPhone distribution isn’t a two-trick pony. I’m certainly bullish on Apple, but I also don’t want to tie up all the money it takes to acquire shares in the $600-range. Below I’ll show you a more affordable way to play Apple’s expected growth, but first let me show you why I’m so confident in the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Benchmarks struggled to find definite direction yesterday as the lack of news left them swinging between small gains and losses. By the closing bell, the energy sector had dented the S&#38;P 500, while investors’ apprehensions about Hewlett-Packard’s decision of merging its printing and personal computing businesses dragged down the Dow. However, tech shares boosted the Nasdaq into the positive zone. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) dropped 0.3% to settle at 13,124.62. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) edged down 0.2% to finish yesterday’s trading session at 1,402.89. The tech-laden Nasdaq Composite Index was the only gainer among the other benchmarks and moved up by 0.04% to settle at 3,075.32. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) was down 2.9% and finished at 15.13. Total volumes on the New York ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Despite solid revenue growth, Priceline.com Inc (PCLN) missed the Zacks Consensus by 20 cents, as higher stock based compensation and a higher tax rate impacted results. However, the solid guidance drove share prices up 6.57% in after-hours trading. Revenue Priceline reported revenue of $990.7 million in the quarter, representing a sequential decline of 31.8% and a year-over-year increase of 35.5%. This was better than management’s guidance of $947 million (at the mid-point) and consensus expectations of $967.9 million. Volumes were impacted across the business, with hotel room nights, rental car days and airline tickets all declining double-digits on a sequential basis, although they were up from last year. Ticket volumes were again softer than the other two, similar to Expedia Inc (EXPE), which also saw softness in the area. Specifically, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While the number of legal proceedings against online travel companies/agents (OTCs/OTAs) continues to increase, there are some positive trends in recent rulings. The wins in Texas and California courts are big positives for OTAs, such as Expedia (EXPE), Priceline.com (PCLN), Orbitz Worldwide (OWW) and Travelocity. Particularly Expedia, since the company is being held liable for the bulk of the back taxes. The OTA mouthpiece Interactive Travel Services Association (ITSA) has been talking about “the correct interpretation of law” by the courts in the above-mentioned states, trying to arouse sentiments by playing the “unproductive litigation” card that was “wasting taxpayer resources.” This rhetoric aside, it appears reasonable that the OTAs should receive compensation for the information and services they provide and on which they pay taxes. The fact that they neither ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Google Inc’s (GOOG) revamped air ticket portal launched without much fanfare on Tuesday. Without a doubt, the search giant is entering the travel market, something made easy with its acquisition of ITA Software, which was recently cleared by the Justice Department. As may be expected with any strategic acquisition, there was a significant amount of controversy and opposition from other companies offering travel services or dependent on ITA technology, such as Microsoft Corp (MSFT), Kayak and Expedia Inc (EXPE). Priceline.com (PCLN) was less affected, although its CEO Jeffrey Boyd mentioned that Google was stepping on its toes with its new Hotel Finder site and the ITA acquisition. Kayak stated that its technology was superior and that it was ready to take on the competition from Google. Some bravado, considering the ]]></description>

Today, I will highlight where the strong consumer is spending her money and how that&#8217;s driving the earnings and stock prices of several top companies. First, a few points about where I got this wrong and where I got it right in the last two years. This is what I said yesterday about my previously cynical view of the consumer&#8217;s ability to recover from the credit crisis: &#8220;Here was one I got way wrong in 2009 and 2010. I thought the American consumer would be slow to spend again as she reconstituted her balance sheet and her debt. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Electronic Commerce, or e-commerce, industry is one of the most developing sectors of the economy. The industry is evolving very rapidly, so data collection and evaluation are particularly difficult. Consequently, one has to rely largely on surveys by both government and private agencies. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the manufacturing sector is the largest contributor to e-commerce sales (42% of their total shipments), followed by merchant wholesalers (23.4% of their total sales). These two segments make up the business-to-business category. Retailers and service providers generated just 4.0% and 2.3%, respectively of their revenues online, a slightly higher percentage than they were in the prior year. The Bureau categorizes these two segments as business-to-consumer. The business-to-business category makes up 91% of total e-commerce sales, with the balance coming from ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The negative build-up over the last few days to today&#8217;s jobs report turned out to be completely off the mark. We got an impressive jobs report this morning, with the private sector coming up with one of its best showings in a long time. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the creation of 244,000 jobs in April, handily coming ahead of expectations. This is one of the best jobs report in a very long time. Importantly, the private sector added 268,000 jobs in April, up from the March tally of 231,000, with broad-based gains across all sectors. On the negative side, the unemployment rate jumped to 9% in April from 8.8% in March, reversing the rapid decline of the preceding months.

		<description><![CDATA[Priceline.com (PCLN) is one of the leading online travel companies in the world. Priceline&#8217;s fourth quarter earnings beat the Zacks Consensus and management expects strong double-digit bookings growth in the next quarter, with international growing much faster than domestic. The secular growth trend in the online travel space, Priceline&#8217;s own business momentum, international growth opportunities, good execution, prudent marketing strategy and strong financial position are likely to drive upside to the shares. While occupancy tax-related litigation remains an overhang, it is likely to have the same impact on all peer companies. With demand strengthening considerably following the recession, we remain optimistic. We therefore have an Outperform rating on PCLN shares.

US officials denied such reports and the markets showed a marginal improvement after closing mixed on Thursday. Though benchmarks Dow and S&#38;P500 continued to remain in the red, the Nasdaq gained marginal momentum relying on the upward movement of tech stocks. Tension in Libya continued, providing no respite to the economic world. Meanwhile fresh US economic data came in, showing both positive and negative trends. The markets closed mixed as the tech-laden Nasdaq moved up while the Dow and S&#38;P500 still waited to end in the green. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) shed 0.3% to close at 12, 068.50 and the S&#38;P 500 declined 0.1% to end ]]></description>

Revenue Revenue for the quarter was $808.4 million, down 18.2% sequentially and up 15.9% year over year. Expedia stated that fourth quarter results were hurt by bad weather, and market trends remained strong. Currency had a 1 percentage point impact on year-over-year comparisons.

Yes, if economic readings keep coming in like today. And yes, if corporate earnings keep beating expectations. (Meaning the quality 1-2 punch that got us to Dow 11,000 in the first place). Unfortunately the answer is No, if a larger European country catches the Greek/Irish flu. And no, if QE2 doesn’t stave off deflation.

		<description><![CDATA[Priceline.com, Inc. (PCLN) is one of the hottest momentum stocks on the Street right now, recently surging to a new all-time high at $428.10 after reporting excellent Q3 results that beat expectations. Throw in rising estimates and a bullish growth projection, and this Zacks #2 rank stock has booked itself plenty of momentum. Even though PCLN has been surging for most of the last 18 months, shares got an extra boost on Nov 10 after the company reported strong Q3 results that handily beat expectations.

		<description><![CDATA[by Alexander Moschina, Investment U Research Friday, October 29, 2010 It may surprise you to learn that cruise lines, Carnival (NYSE: CCL) and Royal Caribbean (NYSE: RCL) helped funnel $35 billion into the United States last year. With a record 13.44 million passengers hitting the high seas, it helped the cruise line industry to its fifth straight year of solid growth, despite the global recession. And according to the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), 2010 should go down as another blockbuster year. So what’s the story behind the headlines? Bigger Fleets… And a $17 Billion Injection into the U.S. Economy Why have cruises become so popular? Simple. The set price – which includes food, entertainment and lodging – is perfect for people on a budget. And appealing to this market ]]></description>

As the September rally has continued into October, it has pushed 37.4% of the stocks on the S&#38;P 500 to either new 52-week highs or within a fraction of that high. While it is an diverse group of companies, from food companies, to apparel, to integrated oil, to hotels that are hitting new highs, one group stood out from the pack: the utilities. Yes, the one area most investors consider dull and boring actually has been anything but that in recent months. 29 companies, or 15.5%, of those making new highs were in the utilities sector which includes Electric Power, Gas Distribution and the Telephone segment. Who Cares About the Utilities??? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Amazon.com (AMZN) reported first quarter earnings that beat the Zacks Consensus by 6.45%. The positive earnings surprise was less than in prior quarters, as estimates were already adjusted to reflect pre-recession type growth. First Quarter Highlights Earnings were negatively impacted by competitive pricing, mix and currency, with the improvement in North American margins offsetting the decline in International. However, the company saw solid growth in revenue. Revenue increase of 45.9% from the year-ago quarter exceeded the high end of management’s guidance of a 32% to 43% increase. The improvement was attributable to a 40% growth in units and an increase in active customer accounts to 114 million, which included Chinese customers for the first time. Amazon also benefited from higher third-party sales and a 22% increase in active seller accounts. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Priceline.com’s (PCLN) first quarter earnings missed the Zacks Consensus by 23 cents. Revenue was also slightly short, missing by 1.0%. Shares slid 12.11% after hours, as the big miss took investors by surprise. We believe that the uncertainty regarding near-term performance was also responsible for the negative sentiment, since second-quarter guidance was quite good. The earnings miss was the result of the volcano in Iceland, which led to a large number of cancellations and postponements. Civil unrest in Thailand was also a concern in the last quarter. Revenue Revenue of $584.4 million was up 7.9% sequentially, up 26.5% from the year-ago quarter and at the high end of management’s guided range of a 23-27% year-over-year increase.

The company&#8217;s fourth quarter results beat the Zacks Consensus Estimates on both the top and bottom lines. Management expects strong double-digit bookings growth in the first quarter, although international is expected to grow faster than domestic. The company saw double-digit growth in revenue, gross profit dollars and operating profit dollars during recession-hit 2009. The current momentum in the business &#8212; international growth opportunities, good execution, prudent marketing strategy and strong financial position &#8212; are positives.

		<description><![CDATA[The Electronic Commerce, or e-commerce, industry is one of the most dynamic sectors of the economy. The industry is still evolving, so data collection and evaluation are particularly difficult. Consequently, one has to rely largely on surveys by both government and private agencies. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the manufacturing sector is the largest contributor to e-commerce sales (35% of total shipments), followed by merchant wholesalers (21.2%). These two segments make up the business-to-business category. While retailers and service providers generated just 3.2% and 1.6% of their revenues online, these are the fastest growing segments. The Bureau categorizes these two segments as business-to-consumer. [2007 figures, as reported in May 2009.] Retail e-Commerce Over the five-quarter period ended September 2009, some retailers lost business to online rivals, while others continued ]]></description>

The company&#8217;s third quarter results beat consensus estimates on both the top and bottom lines. Management expects strong double-digit bookings growth in both domestic and international businesses in the fourth quarter. The company grew strongly in 2008 and the growth rate has continued through the first three quarters of 2009 despite recessionary pressures. The current momentum in the business, international growth opportunities, good execution, prudent marketing strategy and strong financial position are positives. Occupancy, tax-related litigation and declining ADRs are things to watch. We are initiating coverage of PCLN shares with an Outperform rating. Zacks Investment Research]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Standard &#38; Poor&#8217;s Ratings Services has upgraded Priceline.com’s (PCLN) rating from BB- to BB. S&#38;P analyst Andy Liu stated that the revision was based on the company’s strong results and market share gains versus the other major online travel companies, Expedia Inc. (EXPE) and Orbitz Worldwide (OWW). Both Priceline and Expedia beat the Zacks Consensus estimate in the last-reported quarter, although Priceline beat both revenue and EPS estimates by a wider margin. Priceline’s revenue was up double-digits, both sequentially and year over year. Room nights, airline ticket units and rental car days were up 56.3%, 30.2% and11.6%, respectively from the year-ago quarter. In comparison, Expedia’s room night and air ticket volumes were up 27.6% and 27.0%, respectively on a year-over-year basis. Therefore, it is clear that Priceline outgrew Expedia in ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are downgrading shares of Expedia Inc. (EXPE) from Outperform to Neutral. The company reported strong results in the last quarter, but continued to benefit from promotional inventories provided by its hotel partners. When results are stripped off the benefits of promotional activities, a softer demand environment could become evident. We also do not expect the company to report better than seasonal sales growth in the current quarter. The company has sacrificed booking fees this year, which is telling on the average daily rates (ADRs). Therefore, ADRs could be the metric to watch rather than room nights at this point of time. We are also concerned about the incidence of transient occupancy taxes. Although municipalities and governments have decided that they will recover occupancy taxes from hotels if they lose ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Marc Lichtenfeld, Healthcare Expert Wednesday, November 18, 2009: Issue #1140 To celebrate my parents’ anniversary, I took the family to see Grease last weekend. As musical theater buffs, I figured that they’d love the seeing the show, especially with my kids who had never seen a Broadway quality production. Unfortunately, they still haven’t. The show stunk. The “actor” who played Danny Zuko couldn’t act. And American Idol winner Taylor Hicks was so bad as Teen Angel, it was laughable. It was one of the worst productions I’ve ever seen – and I should know, as I’ve been in some pretty awful shows (if you saw Last Exit to Brooklyn in San Francisco in 1995, I apologize). But the purpose of this column is not a theater review, but rather ]]></description>

Revenue Revenue of $730.7 million was up 21.0% sequentially and 30.1% year over year. The significant increase from the year-ago quarter was helped by easier comps as the third quarter of 2008 was impacted by the recession, while the third quarter of 2009 benefited from strengthening demand. Revenue growth was driven by significantly higher room night volumes, which offset the decline in average daily rates (ADRs). Room nights increased 14.1% sequentially and 56.3% year over year.
