Investors Pocket Higher Profits By Spotting the Next Takeover Target / Companies / Investing 2011

By: Money_Morning

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleLarry D. Spears writes: Investors lucky enough to hold shares in a company before it's acquired by another can snag some hefty profits - and this year has been one of the hottest on record for deals.

Global merger and acquisition (M&A) activity in the first quarter topped $799.8 billion, the most since 2007's pre-crash frenzy, according to a recent report in Forbes magazine. Looking forward, most M&A analysts now predict well more than $3 trillion in takeover activity for all of 2011.

This Tech Bubble is Different / Companies / Tech Stocks

By: Trader_Mark

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleAn interesting take in BusinessWeek as we embark on yet another bubble, this time in social media. (which you must embrace as a momo investor, until they crash) Unlike previous "tech" bubbles (say PC era, or internet era), which left something tangible behind when they busted, this time around there appears we'll have little to show for a central banker gone mad showering the world with liquidity.  (heck yesterday an unprofitable car rental company that had no market interest last fall went ballistic on its IPO) As an aside, Groupon looks to be coming public in Q3 at a valuation of $15-20 Billion.  I bet it doubles on the first day - after all, money for nothing and chicks for free....

Inflation Hits Google, Share Price Falls 14% / Companies / Google

By: PhilStockWorld

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleWell who'd have thunk it? 

The cost of doing business is rising and GOOG happens to be one of those businesses that lacks pricing power as their rates are generally set through an auction process and their users have to VOLUNTEER to pay more money to advertise.  Most advertisers on Google are on fixed budgets, like MSM advertisers and Google has done a great job of replicating that model.  Why then, should it be surprising if a maturing Google begins to look more like a traditional media outlet than a dot com company with exploding growth?

Microsoft-Nokia Deal Doesn't Guarantee a Spike in Smartphone Market Share / Companies / Microsoft

By: Money_Morning

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleDavid Zeiler writes: While two major research firms predict that the February deal struck between Microsoft Corporation (Nasdaq: MSFT) and Nokia Corporation (NYSE ADR: NOK) will result in a huge jump in smartphone market share for Windows Phone, such gains won't come easily - if at all.

The two companies announced on Feb. 11 that they would jointly enter the mobile smartphone market - in what some might call a "shotgun marriage" - with Nokia making the hardware and Microsoft proving the operating system (OS).

Dominant Trend Still Bullish for FCX / Companies / Company Chart Analysis

By: Mike_Paulenoff

After ending its upleg from a major corrective low at 46.20 (Mar 10) to its 58.75 high (Apr 8), Freeport McMoRan Copper & Gold (FCX) has relinquished 50-55% of its prior upleg gains, which is the area to look to re-establish long positions within a larger, still-intact bull trend.

My near- and intermediate-term work argues that unless and until FCX violates the 46.20 low, the larger, dominant trend remains bullish, and acute weakness should be used as a buying opportunity.

JP Morgan Q1 2011 Earnings / Companies / Corporate Earnings

By: Tony_Pallotta

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleOn the headline JP Morgan (JPM) beat with $1.28 versus estimates of $1.15 on EPS. Comparing Q1 2011 to Q1 2010 net revenues is down 8.8% while EPS is up 72%.

Sounds OK unless you ask two very simple questions (1) what is the direction of income before provisions for loan losses and (2) what is the direction of asset prices.

Apple May Be in Trouble / Companies / Tech Stocks

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleI am a firm believer in the Peter Lynch style of investing. Peter Lynch's mantra was to "invest in what you know." So many of us tend to get caught up in complicated algorithms, strategies and analysis, when all we might have to do is simply open our eyes to what is happening right outside our front door.

Can Apple Punch Through Resistance / Companies / Tech Stocks

By: Mike_Paulenoff

This morning's pre-open down-gap in Apple (AAPL) and spike to 327.49 so far has turned out to be the low for the larger downleg off of the Mar 28 high at 354.34. The spike low, followed by what is shaping up to be a significant upside reversal so far today, also can be considered another test of critical three-month support at 326.50/00 from the day that Steve Jobs announced he was taking a leave of absence.

The Battle to Dominate Could Based Computing / Companies / Tech Stocks

By: Money_Morning

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleDavid Zeiler writes: Cloud-based computing is shaping up to be a major battleground in the U.S. high-tech sector for the rest of this year, as companies compete to deliver such services as music streaming to consumer-based mobile devices.

And it figures to be a true clash of titans, with such high-tech heavyweights as Amazon.com Inc. (Nasdaq: AMZN), Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL), Google Inc. (Nasdaq: GOOG) and Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) serving among the major combatants.

By: Money_Morning

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleDavid Zeiler writes: The accelerating transition to mobile computing devices - such as smartphones and tablets - will drive tech companies to adapt to shifting consumer preferences or risk getting left behind.

Although they haven't yet tossed out their desktop or laptop PCs, more and more people are adopting mobile devices for such activities as checking e-mail, browsing the Web, playing games and interacting with social networks like Facebook and Twitter.

Will The Internet Play An Increasing Role In Corporate Governance? / Companies / Corporate News

By: Submissions

Ian R. Campbell writes: I received an e-mail a few days ago from a Stock Research Portal subscriber who obviously had spent time researching my work history and reading my daily commentaries.  His e-mail dealt with the proposed Plan of Arrangement (the 'Plan') announced March 14 pursuant to which Century Mining Corp. ('Century') shareholders would exchange their shares for shares of White Tiger Gold Ltd. ('White Tiger').  About the Plan, he said:  "We as minor shareholders need some credible press on this and since I have been reading your writing for a couple years, I trust you to take a real look past the surface, at the truth.  Ian, its not right, its not fair and I am trying to do something about it, will you help".

A Crack in the Great Wall-Mart: China Inflation, Watch Out for Rising Prices / Companies / Inflation

By: Jason_Kaspar

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleIn a widely covered interview last Wednesday, the CEO of Wal-Mart, Bill Simon, warned that “U.S. consumers face ‘serious’ inflation in the months ahead for clothing, food and other products.” He noted: "We're seeing cost increases starting to come through at a pretty rapid rate."  Given his purview, I accept Simon’s opinion as positively disconcerting, and if inflation is to hit home in the heartland of America, it will certainly begin at Wal-Mart.

Don't Let 'Zombie Banks' Terrorize Your Portfolio / Companies / Banking Stocks

By: Money_Morning

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleMartin Hutchinson writes: In February 2009, I examined the top 12 U.S. banks and gave a generally bullish outlook for them, pointing out that at a fraction of net asset value, their shares were mostly good bargains.

Only a few banks had longer-term problems because of the poor qualities of their loan portfolios. I termed those "zombie banks," and warned that they might not emerge from public ownership.

By: Money_Morning

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleKerri Shannon writes: U.S. companies have started to spend their record high piles of cash, but most won't be using it to boost hiring.

Since the credit crisis, U.S. companies have collected about $940 billion in cash. Per-share profit surged 36% in 2010, the biggest jump since 1988, and companies cut capital expenditures 26% in 2009 to compensate for the ailing economy.

By: Mike_Paulenoff

Silver Wheaton (SLW) plunged beneath yesterday's low at 43.38 to 43.19 this morning, but did not follow through to the downside. Instead, it has pivoted to the upside into a strong rally to 44.73 so far.

This is powerful initial evidence that the decline from yesterday's high at 46.00 into this morning's low at 43.19 (-6.2%) represented a completed correction within the current upleg from the 37.85 low on March 16.
