The Right Regulatory Formula for Markets / Companies / Market Regulation
Last weekend, I had the chance to experience the thrill of Formula 1 Grand Prix du Canada in Montreal. Seeing the incredible fluidity and flexibility of every race car, it got me thinking about how F1 has evolved over the past 60 years. Cars are now aerodynamic like a jet fighter, designed with wings that use the same principle as an aircraft and tires that withstand tremendous forces. Even with all these incredible advancements in technology, rules and regulations have been streamlined to reduce costs and improve safety. Since 1994, there hasn't been a fatal accident in the motorsport.

Intel Stock Market Dynamics / Companies / Company Chart Analysis
They say the proof is in the pudding. Upon first encountering the proposed market cycle matrix of the late market analyst PQ Wall, from the Kondratieff long wave down to the 20-week cycle, it was dismissed by this author and fellow market cycle researcher. It simply could not be true. The conclusions were clearly the results of an obsessive-compulsive disorder in an otherwise gifted financial market analyst. Years later, coming to a frustrating dead end with the work of Harvard economist and cycle theorist Joseph Schumpeter, and his smaller cycle work presented in Business Cycles, PQ's claims were studied more closely. The results of further inquiry into the mind and market matrix methods of PQ Wall were shocking. PQ Wall has changed market cycle theory forever, and his maverick thinking may hold the keys to even greater mysteries of the universe.

Healthcare Stocks: What Happens if Obamacare is Overturned / Companies / Healthcare Sector
David Zeiler writes: With the Supreme Court ruling on President Barack Obama's healthcare reform law just three weeks away, investors in healthcare stocks need to be prepared.
While some are confident the Supreme Court will rule in favor of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, a rejection of the law -- or at least of the mandate requiring everyone to buy insurance -- may be more likely.

Is Tata Motors the New GM? / Companies / US Auto's
G.S. Early writes: As far as prestigious SUVs go, the Land Rover badge has been a mainstay in the road-less hinterlands for decades.
Yet it has taken years for someone to actually get the formula right. BMW tried. Then Ford.

Facebook Investors Believed Forecast Revenues Would Exceed GDP of the Whole World / Companies / Tech Stocks
There are two main elements to the litigation about the IPO. The first is about how last-minute-second-thoughts about the future earnings by an analyst should have been widely “shared”. It’s not a strong case, much of the communication was verbal and analysts change their minds all time. Sloppy management, yes…once the prospectus was up everyone should have shut up, but it will be hard to prove wrongdoing.

Is the Generational Divide in Technology Widening? / Companies / Technology
Alex Daley, Casey Research writes: My son doesn't know how to use a mouse.
He doesn't even know what one is. As far as he's concerned, it's a furry animal he's only seen in books and running around the floor of the Newark airport.
While I've known this for some time, it recently moved from the back of my mind to front and center following a brief car trip a few days ago. From the back seat, my eldest son – who for some inexplicable reason loves to watch the instructions tick by on the screen of the GPS unit sitting on the dashboard – requested that I program the unit to give us directions home. I politely declined, pointing out that I couldn't be messing around with the screen as I was already driving. He followed up with that well-known, youthful naïveté that borders on soul-piercing in its effectiveness to point our shortcomings in ourselves and our world by asking:

Reports of BP Nabucco Pipeline's Death are Exaggerated / Companies / Oil Companies
The refining director at BP caused a stir last week in Berlin when he was interpreted as saying the full version of the Nabucco natural gas pipeline was no longer an option for the consortium working in the Shah Deniz natural gas field in Azerbaijan. Wire services had reported that his statements meant Nabucco was effectively dead despite years of political maneuvering. Not so, said the European Commission, and several other players involved in the 2,149-mile project. It makes sexy headlines to sink a $10 billion ship, but there are plenty of reserves to keep Nabucco at least on standby.
