		<description><![CDATA[Alabama-based networking solution provider, ADTRAN Inc. (ADTN) recently announced plans to acquire Nokia Siemens Networks’ fixed-line Broadband Access business. The deal is expected to close by April next year, upon regulatory approval from concerned authorities. According to ADTRAN, the acquisition is expected to remain neutral for the first fiscal year and thereon have a positive bearing on its diluted earnings per share. The transaction would involve the acquisition of the intellectual properties, technologies and the established customer base of Nokia Siemens Networks’ Broadband Access unit. Further, it would entail the transfer of manpower to ADTRAN along with an entry into Nokia Siemens Networks’ established customer base. Finland based Nokia Siemens Networks was established in 2007 as a joint venture between two giants, Nokia Corporation  (NOK) and Siemens AG (SI). Given ]]></description>

(&#8220;Greenlander&#8221;). The terms for the deal were not revealed. The pact will not impact Mindray’s financial condition. Greenlander is located in Hangshou, China. Mindray aims to generate significant synergies from the acquisition. Greenlander’s IT service offerings will prove to be a boon for Mindray’s pre-existing medical imaging technology. Greenlander, launched in 2003, is a vendor of healthcare IT offerings with a focus on Picture Archiving and Communication System (“PACS”) and Radiology Information System (“RIS”). RIS is an IT-driven data base utilized by radiology practices to save and distribute patient-related radiological data.

		<description><![CDATA[In the face of high competition, the Dutch company Royal Philips Electronics NV (PHG) got approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to sell a combination scanner that performs both positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging. The scanner is expected to accelerate imaging time for cancer patients, as PET identifies cancer cells as it absorbs chemical tracers. The magnetic resonance imaging will be helpful to identify the surrounding tissue. In addition, the magnetic imaging is also capable of scanning bone and combining systems in order to improve the diagnosis of cancer and cardiovascular diseases. The big advantage of this machine is that these diagnoses can be done at much lower radiation levels than X-rays. In addition, the new scanner is expected to deliver with quality and ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Clean Energy and Spy Bots The biggest problem with most clean energy companies is the speculation involved. Most aren’t profitable, at least not yet, especially in the electronic vehicle (EV) market. It’s a guessing game trying to figure out what products or brands will take off. For instance, a company such as Ecotality (Nasdaq: ECTY) could end up being a future leader in EV charging systems. It announced last Thursday that it was chosen to install 200 EV charging stations around the Houston area. But the company’s tiny market cap of $53.96 million and lack of profitability makes Ecotality a relatively shaky investment. Its beta of 2.38 shows it’s more than twice as volatile as the market as a whole… and the market as a whole hasn’t been very stable. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The growth of the Aerospace and Defense industry depends largely on the spending outlook of government departments, with the U.S. defense budget being the primary driver. The U.S. is the world’s largest aerospace and defense market, and also home to the world’s largest military budget. In 2010, the total global defense expenditure of $1.6 trillion grew 1.3% from 2009 levels in real terms. The majority of this growth came from the U.S. Defense spending, which was $698 billion in 2010, accounting for roughly 43% of the global total. The U.S. defense budget for 2011 is $670.8 billion, out of which the base budget comprises $513 billion with another $157.8 billion approved as supplementary defense spending mainly to fund the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

However, since we know that companies that report better-than-expected earnings tend to see their share prices rise after the announcement, and those that disappoint sink, it would be nice to be able to get in front of those that are likely to do better than expected and get out of the way of those which are going to disappoint. Not easy to do, but there is a way to improve your odds. I like to look for the combination of three inter-related factors in trying to figure out who will post positive surprises, and who will disappoint. Check the Recent History I start with the fact that historically, companies that reported a positive surprise last time around are much more likely to do so in ]]></description>

For the last 6 months, NSN was looking for a third party investor in order to inject funds, thereby reducing the stake of both Nokia and Siemens. Earlier this month, The Financial Times reported that the two major U.S. private equity groups, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts and TPG, have backed out from their bidding for a significant stake in NSN. The departure of these two private equity groups primarily resulted from disagreement between the firms and NSN over price and controlling stake of the venture. Nokia, however, announced that NSN is negotiating with several other investors. Recently, The Wall Street Journal reported that both Nokia and ]]></description>

The rise in the trade deficit is bad news for the economy, and the level is very dangerous. For the month it was up 6.0%, and it was worse than the $47.7 billion consensus expectation. On a year-over-year basis, the total trade deficit was up 21.9% from $39.51 billion a year ago. The trade balance has two major parts: trade in goods and trade in services. America’s problem is always on the goods side; we actually routinely have a small surplus in services. Relative to February, the goods deficit rose to $62.11 billion from $59.10 billion.

		<description><![CDATA[India has decided against considering fighter jets manufactured by The Boeing Company (BA) and Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMT) for a $11 billion order and is narrowing down its choice to two European-made planes- France&#8217;s Dassault Rafale and the Eurofighter Typhoon. Boeing’s F/A-18 Super Hornet and Lockheed Martin’s F-16 Super Viper – both of which are powered by General Electric (GE) engines – lost out to two European airplanes that are still under consideration by the Indian military. GE Aviation was expecting to see a healthy order flow if either of the U.S. competitors was awarded the contract. General Electric has one of the best infrastructure franchises worldwide with solid organic growth rates, exposure to favorable secular trends and a large installed base supporting a growing annuity-like service business.

		<description><![CDATA[by Tony D’Altorio, Investment U Research Wednesday, April 6, 2011 Few companies can claim the same industrial pedigree as General Electric (NYSE: GE). With an ancestry that goes back to Thomas Edison, it’s the longest-standing member of the Dow Jones Industrial Index. Spread across 100 countries, GE represents quality American engineering in everything from light bulbs to jet engines. And it’s been making acquisitions left and right in the energy sector as of late. This week, it agreed to buy 90% of privately held Converteam for $3.2 billion. Converteam, formerly Alstom Power Generation, manufactures equipment that converts renewable power into “grid-quality” electricity. A leader in the $30 billion market for power control systems, its sales rose 36% last year to $1.5 billion, according to GE. Buying it out takes GE’s ]]></description>

The PillCam SB capsule has been marketed since 2001 for visualization of the small bowel mucosa. It can be employed as a tool for detecting abnormalities in the small bowel of adults and children above 2 years of age.

The trade deficit was also smaller than the $44.5 billion consensus expectation. On a year-over-year basis, the total trade deficit was up 19.8% from $32.30 billion a year ago. The trade balance has two major parts: trade in goods and trade in services. America’s problem is always on the goods side; we actually routinely have a small surplus in services. Relative to September, the goods deficit fell to $51.42 billion from $57.09 billion. That is a month-to-month decline of 9.9%. Relative to a year ago, the goods deficit was up 16.9% from $43.98 billion. The Service surplus was down slightly (1.8%) from September ]]></description>

The new device, called FlashPad, received the 510k clearance from the US Food and Drug administration. This sophisticated, next-gen detector is compatible across a wide range of GE X-ray products. It is the sole wireless digital detector, which can aid advanced applications like VolumeRAD and Dual Energy Subtraction. The former is a digital tomosynthesis procedure for radiography that removes overlaying and underlying structures while the latter produces chest or abdominal images without obstructions from overlying bones. The design of the FlashPad device further facilitates efficient handling particularly in specialized areas like pediatric work, intensive care and trauma. General Electric ]]></description>

Based on Kopin’s advanced system and micro-display technologies, this head worn device will support simulation software, streaming video on-demand and other large-screen enterprise applications. Motorola has been struggling to survive in the market due to stiff competition from the smartphone manufacturers and hence is splitting up into two separate entities. Mobile Devices and Home Division will be known as Motorola Mobility (which will sell mobile handsets and television set-top boxes) and the Enterprise Mobility Solutions and Networks businesses will be known as Motorola Solutions (which will supply wireless technology to governments and enterprises).

		<description><![CDATA[Nokia Corp. (NOK), the largest mobile phone manufacturer of the world, declared its third quarter 2010 financial results, which beat both the top-line and bottom-line Zacks Consensus Estimates. The results are particularly encouraging for its sagging Devices &#38; Services Segment. Favorable product-mix biased towards converged mobile devices (smartphones &#38; mobile computers) resulted in higher average selling price (ASP). The company has decided to reduce headcount by 1,800 which will further boost its bottom-line. We believe Nokia’s unique cheap smartphones will maintain its sales momentum in the near future. Additionally, Nokia Siemens Network, a 50-50 joint venture between Nokia and Siemens AG (SI) will also become stronger after acquiring the wireless infrastructure businesses from Motorola Inc. (MOT). Quarterly net revenue was approximately $13,250 million, up 5% year-over-year and above the Zacks ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Motorola Inc. (MOT) is finally reaping the benefit of its decision that the company has taken regarding its fragile Mobile Devices once Dr. Sanjay Jha becomes the CEO of this division. Supported by increasing market traction of its 3G Android-based smartphones, Motorola today declared excellent results for the third quarter 2010. On an adjusted basis, the struggling Mobile Devices division has become profitable in the third quarter much earlier than the company expected, which was fourth quarter of 2010. This segment has returned to profitability after over three years. Contrary to some analysts’ concerns, the flagship DROID smartphone portfolio performed beyond expectations. Dr. Jha has proved how a struggling business can be turned around if one has strong market sense and good foresight. Third Quarter in Detail Quarterly GAAP net ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Trade Deficit rose in August to $46.35 billion after it fell in July to $42.58 billion, down from $49.76 billion in June. The rise in the trade deficit is very bad news for the economy. The trade deficit was also substantially larger than the $44.5 billion consensus expectation. On a year-over-year basis, the total trade deficit was up 49.2% from $31.07 billion a year ago. The trade balance has two major parts: trade in goods and trade in services. America’s problem is always on the goods side; we actually routinely have a small surplus in services. Relative to July, the goods deficit rose to $58.99 billion from  $55.08 billion but is still lower than the $62.22 billion in June. That is a month-to-month increase of 7.1%.

		<description><![CDATA[Leading radiosurgery systems maker Accuray Incorporated (ARAY) has achieved an important milestone as patients treated with its CyberKnife robotic radiosurgery system have reportedly reached the 100,000 mark. CyberKnife is a non-invasive alternative to traditional surgery and is the only commercially available intelligent robotic radiosurgery system designed to treat solid tumors anywhere in the body. Patients can be treated with CyberKnife without anesthesia and without the risks and complications inherent in traditional surgery. The CyberKnife system combines continuous image-guidance technology with a compact linear accelerator that has the ability to move in three dimensions according to the treatment plan. The CyberKnife procedure is well tolerated. Patients do not require substantial pre-treatment preparation, and typically there is little to no recovery time or hospital stay necessary for the CyberKnife procedure. All these ]]></description>
