Trading Realities
dow2664
The book Trading Realities: The Truth, the Lies, and the Hype In-Between by Jeff Augen is a very easy-to-read guide to avoiding fallacies, such as buying for the long term and holding onto stocks that have paper losses, and utilizing new strategies to viewing trends, analyzing and reducing risk, and making money trading. Several interesting narratives are included, such as the incident where Goldman Sachs (GS) admitted to trading against its clients. The smoking gun email from a Goldman senior executive appears at the end of the chapter. Augen explains in simple terms how volatility works and how stock options can be utilized to increase profits and reduce risk. One of the interesting techniques that he provides is buying the iPath S&P 500 VIX Short Term Futures ETN (VXX) and writing one month at-the-money calls against it. The downside is limited because the volatility will never go away. Plenty of other strategies such as this appear throughout the book. Option collars are explained very clearly and is what he considers the most conservative of trades. One technique he shows on pages 203 and 204 demonstrates how an investor can own Apple (AAPL) for free in 72 weeks. Synthetic stock is another technique that he covers, in order to reduce the cost of a trade. For traders who have never or rarely delved into option trading strategies, I recommend that you read Trading Realities .

Daily News and Research on Chinese Stocks (Nov 22, 2010)
Ireland Today, Portugal Next?
It’s at the periphery that the debt-bubble is exploding hardest…
ONE SIMPLE WAY of thinking about the world’s problems is that over indebtedness is overwhelming institutions at the periphery of the global system, says Dan Denning in Melbourne for The Daily Reckoning Australia.
A few years ago, that meant margin-lenders and non-bank lenders in America’s housing market being swallowed by bigger more traditional banks that were not financed by securitization (think Rams Home Loan here in Australia).
But the banks weren’t well capitalized enough to withstand credit write downs so the risk had to be swallowed by an even larger party with deeper pockets (or access to your pockets). Gradually, risk of debt default has been centralized in a smaller number of institutions and governments, migrating from the private balance sheet to the public. Instead of being disaggregated, it’s being repatriated.
Yes, it’s kind of a boring thought to begin the week with. But it may explain a lot of what’s going on in the moment. No one wants to take losses on bad debt and have a thorough reckoning of profits and losses. So the problem is passed on like a virus to the next biggest remaining party.
An obvious example is Ireland (and Portugal, and Greece, and Spain). Ireland’s government agreed in principal over the weekend to a bailout fund from the European Union and the International Monetary Fund. The liabilities of Irish banks have become too big a problem for Ireland’s national government to manage without destroying its own balance sheet and credit rating in the process.
At one level this represents a victory for multi-national financial companies over the traditional nation state. Ireland ceded power and sovereignty to the EU and IMF because its banks have held a gun to its head. The banks win and Ireland’s people suffer the consequences, with terms of surrender dictated by the EU and the IMF.
Whether or not this model of submission finance (where the banks threaten to kill the country unless their ransom demands are met) is the actual design of the banks and/or the trans national organizations is a good question. It could be that some people want weaker nation states and stronger Supra States like the EU.
In fact, that could be the case in Ireland. In June of 2008, Irish voters rejected the EU’s Lisbon Treaty. That treaty was itself a sneaky way of forcing a European constitution on Europe after major nations like France and the Netherlands had rejected said constitution by popular vote. For unelected bureaucrats, “No” never really means “No.”
European parliaments ratified the Lisbon Treaty and thumbed their nose at popular opposition from the little people. Like medieval landed elites and clergy, today’s governing class is not interested in the consent of the governed. It correctly realizes that it doesn’t derive its power from that consent, but from the power to throw people in jail for not paying taxes or for breaking any one of myriad laws which the State has erected in private and public life.
The Irish constitution required another vote by the people on adopting a European constitution and the Irish, being rebellious at heart, rejected it. Naturally, European power brokers in Brussels moved ahead with the project of greater economic and political integration in Europe anyway. The democratic process wasn’t meant to be an actual referendum on whether Europe should become more “one.” The vote was just window dressing to give the European project the patina of respect from having been voted on by “the people”.
But in the age of growing government power, the people don’t really matter, except as votes to be bought and tax serfs to be fattened and farmed. And now Ireland, whose banks are stuffed with bad debt, finds itself having to do what its told by the EU and IMF whether it likes it or not.
By the way, this slow motion tyranny of the ruling elite bureaucratic class is just as true here in Australia as it is everywhere else. Here, it takes the form of a government refusing to cost a $43 billion national broadband plan of dubious worth. It takes many other bi-partisan forms too, of course. Here in Victoria, it’s the enormous number of spin doctors employed by the government (at taxpayer expense) to consult on public policy and cram all sorts of propaganda down your eyeballs.
Don’t expect an end to Europe’s crisis, though. It will just migrate to the next nation with large public sector deficits and widening bond spreads (where investors openly doubt the ability of governments to cut spending and address structural economic weakness). Portugal is already the red hot favorite for the next crisis. But the real issue is the same everywhere: too much debt at the local level and an institutional arrangement that guarantees each local crisis will imperil the viability of the whole European project.
That’s what you get for trying to have one monetary policy of twelve different economies. Meanwhile, in America, the peripheral crisis is in with State and City governments. The Federal government can always monetize the debt through the Federal Reserve, printing money to buy bonds issued by the Treasury. City and State governments enjoy no such privilege. Thus, you’ve seen falling muni’ bond prices and cancelled offerings as borrowers fret about investor appetite for more debt.
What does it mean? It probably means that California or Illinois is going to go bankrupt before Washington does. And when one or two states or ten or twenty cities go bankrupt, it will put more pressure on the bankrupt Federal government in America to “do something.” Like what?
All of this roughly fits in with the idea we laid out in Friday’s subscriber-only update for Australian Wealth Gameplan: global growth is not going to come from debt-laded OECD countries. If it’s going to come, it’s going to come from the BRIICS. But those countries (Brazil, Russia, Indonesia, India, China, and South Africa) are sorting out whether they want to continue devalue their currencies (as they must in an export-driven growth model) or begin relying more on domestic demand and allowing for currency appreciation to stem inflation concerns.
Speaking of which, Ben Bernanke had a go at China in a speech he gave in Germany on Friday. He said that, “For large, systemically important countries with persistent current account surpluses, the pursuit of export-led growth cannot ultimately succeed if the implications of that strategy for global growth and stability are not taken into account.”
He went on to claim that the running up of large current account surpluses destabilized global growth. And more importantly, he claimed that artificially suppressed currencies didn’t’ allow for the needed rebalancing in the global economy. It was Fed speak for, “You’re doing it all wrong, China.”
That’s a pretty audacious claim for a man who’s taken US monetary policy into completely unchartered waters and kicked off a migration into higher risk assets and commodities.
Where does that leave Australia as we begin the week? Good question. The risk of China over-tightening its bank lending to contain inflation would definitely be bearish for Aussie resources. But for now, no one seems overly concerned that un-sound monetary policy is going to affect Aussie asset prices. Maybe they should be.
Or maybe we worry too much. But we can’t help it. And what we’re worrying/wondering about now is if China, too, is at the periphery of the global credit boom, inasmuch as it created tremendous productive capacity to fuel credit-driven consumption in the West. What if a lot of China’s boom vanishes with the inevitable deleveraging and debt-deflation in the West?

Market’s Mixed Messages Toy With Investors
A headline grabbing week, in which the stock market was drubbed on Monday and Tuesday, ended on Friday with a whimper. However, despite the flat close, the U.S. markets still must confront worries over China’s response to its growth rate, Europe’s shaky economies, and the long-term impact of the Fed’s second round of quantitative easing (QE2). On Friday, China raised its bank reserve requirements, but that had little impact on trading since the increase had been anticipated. Tuesday’s sharp fall was in part due to China’s tighter money policy and the resulting impact on U.S. exports to that massive market. Ireland’s fragile economy was in the news for the entire week, but late news on Friday seemed to indicate that talks with the European Union (EU) and the European Central bank are going well. And on Sunday, it was announced that Ireland had applied to the EU for a bailout worth tens of billions of euros. Of the Dow Industrials, The Boeing Company (NYSE: BA ) was the worst performer, down 1.6%, and The Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS ) was a close second, off 1.5%. The top gainers were Hewlett-Packard Company (NYSE: HPQ ), up 2.18%, and American Express Company (NYSE: AXP ), up 1.25%. In corporate news, AnnTaylor Stores Corp. (NYSE: ANN ) jumped 8.5% on better-than-expected Q3 earnings and same-store sales. Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE: CAT ) said that it is buying Bucyrus International, Inc. (NASDAQ: BUCY ) for a 32% premium of $7.6 billion, and EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC ) said that it will pay Isilon Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: ISLN ) $2.25 billion, which is a 29% premium. General Motors Co. (NYSE: GM ) closed on Friday at $34.26, one day following its successful return to the NYSE following its restructuring and IPO. The benchmark 10-year Treasury note rose on Friday bringing its yield to 2.87%. Thirty-year Treasury bonds fell to a yield of 4.24%. The euro gained versus the dollar, and late Friday was quoted at $1.3691 versus $1.3628 on Thursday. At Friday’s close, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 22 points to 11,204, the S&P 500 was up 3 points to 1,200, and the Nasdaq rose 4 points to 2,518. The NYSE traded 1.1 billion shares with advancers over decliners by 1.4-to-1. The Nasdaq crossed 581 million shares and advancers were ahead by 1.2-to-1. For the week, the Dow rose 0.1%, the S&P 500 was unchanged, and the Nasdaq was unchanged. Crude oil for December delivery fell 34 cents to $81.51 a barrel, and the Energy Select Sector SPDR (NYSE: XLE ) rose 53 cents to $63.59. December gold fell 70 cents to $1,352.30 an ounce, and the PHLX Gold/Silver Sector Index (NASDAQ: XAU ) rose 1.58 points to 212.37. What the Markets Are Saying This has been a “headlines related market” for months, but last week almost every twist and turn could be related to a headline-grabbing event in some part of the world. This makes for some interesting days for traders, but does little for the average investor. Prices see-saw from support to resistance and back again, sometimes traversing price bands in a matter of hours rather than the days or even months that was typical several years ago. The general result of this type of volatility is that the “big money” and long-term investors tend to stay away. Thus, the markets are left to short-term traders, some of whom are often in and out in a matter of minutes, and this leads technicians to label the market as having little commitment or conviction. Last week, we saw the S&P 500 traverse the entire support zone of 1,210 to 1,174 in three days, and then jump to an intraday high of 1,200 on Thursday, and close at the round number on Friday. Technically that’s an upside reversal after falling from its new high for the year to the important support at just above its 50-day moving average, and then jumping to a big round number like 1,200. But the bears would say that the rally was preceded by “9-to-1″ volume down days with the highest volume since June. The bulls say that the reversal up to 1,200, which is just above the 20-day moving average of the S&P 500, coupled with the big volume down day on Tuesday was a “selling climax,” which will result in a new high. So who is correct? When faced with a stand-off between bulls and bears, it is sometimes helpful to go to our indicators, both internal and sentiment, for a clue. Here is what they show: Internal indicators, chiefly Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) , momentum, stochastics and Relative Strength Index (RSI) , have moved from extreme “overbought” numbers to modestly “oversold,” and the stochastics have even flashed a near-term “buy” signal. Sentiment indicators are mixed with Investors Intelligence telling us that the advisers are now bullish, surging from 48.4% to 56.2% in just one week, while the bears fell to 20.2% from 23.1%. In the words of II, this “shows that there is less and less cash on the sidelines,” and is thus a bearish sign. However, the AAII Sentiment Survey shows that the bulls have fallen to 40% from 57.56% in just one week with bears increasing from 28.49% to 32.50%, and that is modestly bullish. On balance, despite the mixed signals, I believe that the technical situation is mildly bullish only because the last strong technical signal was Thursday’s impressive reversal. But the bulls must back this up with a solid breakout on strong breadth and high volume or prices will collapse back to support at 1,174 or lower. If you are a long-term buyer of stocks with a buy-and-hold strategy, then there are many good values to be had as long as you recognize the volatile nature of the market. But if you are a trader or short-term holder, then you must memorize the support and resistance numbers for the major stock market indices, as well as for the stocks in which you have an interest. Buy on support (low numbers) and sell on resistance (high numbers). This is easy to say and difficult for most traders to execute because it is almost always contrary to the current run of headline news. See market’s support zones here.

Confusion persists right now as commodities dipped based on oversees concerns with Ireland’s long term debt problems and China’s interest rate hikes aimed at cooling off the fast pace of their growing economy. Experts are predicting that the dollar will remain lower into the next year as the Fed pumps money into the economy through QE2. The traditional relationship between the dollar and precious metal commodities is an inverse one and thus the lower dollar value is expected to boost commodity prices. Recent precious metal data reveals that spot gold price is at $1,356.89. Spot silver is at $27.45. Overall in 2010, Gold has jumped 23%. Analysts believe that the price jump overall stems from oversees demand, but the message out of China right now is indirectly negative. The move to slow down their economy will be interpreted as an inflation reducing event and increase apprehensions about investing in precious metals right now. Last trading price for Gold December delivery contract was in the red by .05% at $1,352.30. Silver was in the green by 1.29% at $27.18. Copper was up as well by.07% at $3.83. Author: Camillo Zucari

Market’s Mixed Messages Toy With Investors
A headline grabbing week, in which the stock market was drubbed on Monday and
Tuesday, ended on Friday with a whimper. However, despite the flat close, the
U.S. markets still must confront worries over Chinas response to its growth
rate, Europes shaky economies, and the long-term impact of the Feds second round
of quantitative easing (QE2). On Friday, China raised its bank reserve
requirements, but that had little impact on trading since the increase had been
anticipated. Tuesdays sharp fall was in part due to Chinas tighter money policy
and the resulting impact on U.S. exports to that massive market. Irelands
fragile economy was in the news for the entire week, but late news on Friday
seemed to indicate that talks with the European Union (EU) and the European
Central bank are going well. And on Sunday, it was announced that Ireland had
applied to the EU for a bailout worth tens of billions of euros. Of the Dow
Industrials, The Boeing Company (NYSE: BA ) was the worst performer, down 1.6%,
and The Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS ) was a close second, off 1.5%. The top
gainers were Hewlett-Packard Company (NYSE: HPQ ), up 2.18%, and American
Express Company (NYSE: AXP ), up 1.25%. In corporate news, AnnTaylor Stores
Corp. (NYSE: ANN ) jumped 8.5% on better-than-expected Q3 earnings and
same-store sales. Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE: CAT ) said that it is buying Bucyrus
International, Inc. (NASDAQ: BUCY ) for a 32% premium of $7.6 billion, and EMC
Corporation (NYSE: EMC ) said that it will pay Isilon Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:
ISLN ) $2.25 billion, which is a 29% premium. General Motors Co. (NYSE: GM )
closed on Friday at $34.26, one day following its successful return to the NYSE
following its restructuring and IPO. The benchmark 10-year Treasury note rose on
Friday bringing its yield to 2.87%. Thirty-year Treasury bonds fell to a yield
of 4.24%. The euro gained versus the dollar, and late Friday was quoted at
$1.3691 versus $1.3628 on Thursday. At Fridays close, the Dow Jones Industrial
Average rose 22 points to 11,204, the S&P 500 was up 3 points to 1,200, and the
Nasdaq rose 4 points to 2,518. The NYSE traded 1.1 billion shares with advancers
over decliners by 1.4-to-1. The Nasdaq crossed 581 million shares and advancers
were ahead by 1.2-to-1. For the week, the Dow rose 0.1%, the S&P 500 was
unchanged, and the Nasdaq was unchanged. Crude oil for December delivery fell 34
cents to $81.51 a barrel, and the Energy Select Sector SPDR (NYSE: XLE ) rose 53
cents to $63.59. December gold fell 70 cents to $1,352.30 an ounce, and the PHLX
Gold/Silver Sector Index (NASDAQ: XAU ) rose 1.58 points to 212.37. What the
Markets Are Saying This has been a headlines related market for months, but last
week almost every twist and turn could be related to a headline-grabbing event
in some part of the world. This makes for some interesting days for traders, but
does little for the average investor. Prices see-saw from support to resistance
and back again, sometimes traversing price bands in a matter of hours rather
than the days or even months that was typical several years ago. The general
result of this type of volatility is that the big money and long-term investors
tend to stay away. Thus, the markets are left to short-term traders, some of
whom are often in and out in a matter of minutes, and this leads technicians to
label the market as having little commitment or conviction. Last week, we saw
the S&P 500 traverse the entire support zone of 1,210 to 1,174 in three days,
and then jump to an intraday high of 1,200 on Thursday, and close at the round
number on Friday. Technically thats an upside reversal after falling from its
new high for the year to the important support at just above its 50-day moving
average, and then jumping to a big round number like 1,200. But the bears would
say that the rally was preceded by 9-to-1 volume down days with the highest
volume since June. The bulls say that the reversal up to 1,200, which is just
above the 20-day moving average of the S&P 500, coupled with the big volume
down day on Tuesday was a selling climax, which will result in a new high. So
who is correct? When faced with a stand-off between bulls and bears, it is
sometimes helpful to go to our indicators, both internal and sentiment, for a
clue. Here is what they show: Internal indicators, chiefly Moving Average
Convergence/Divergence (MACD) , momentum, stochastics and Relative Strength
Index (RSI) , have moved from extreme overbought numbers to modestly oversold,
and the stochastics have even flashed a near-term buy signal. Sentiment
indicators are mixed with Investors Intelligence telling us that the advisers
are now bullish, surging from 48.4% to 56.2% in just one week, while the bears
fell to 20.2% from 23.1%. In the words of II, this shows that there is less and
less cash on the sidelines, and is thus a bearish sign. However, the AAII
Sentiment Survey shows that the bulls have fallen to 40% from 57.56% in just one
week with bears increasing from 28.49% to 32.50%, and that is modestly bullish.
On balance, despite the mixed signals, I believe that the technical situation is
mildly bullish only because the last strong technical signal was Thursdays
impressive reversal. But the bulls must back this up with a solid breakout on
strong breadth and high volume or prices will collapse back to support at 1,174
or lower. If you are a long-term buyer of stocks with a buy-and-hold strategy,
then there are many good values to be had as long as you recognize the volatile
nature of the market. But if you are a trader or short-term holder, then you
must memorize the support and resistance numbers for the major stock market
indices, as well as for the stocks in which you have an interest. Buy on support
(low numbers) and sell on resistance (high numbers). This is easy to say and
difficult for most traders to execute because it is almost always contrary to
the current run of headline news. See markets support zones here. Todays

Today’s Gold, Silver, and Copper Price Per Ounce; December Delivery Contracts and Spot Gold Pricing; Notes November 22nd, 2010
Gold price per ounce was down at last trade but Silver and copper were up.
Prior to opening bell of the U.S. trading session for November 223nd, 2010, the
dollar is struggling. Precious metal commodities dipped a bit last week but are
expected to bounce back. Confusion persists right now as commodities dipped
based on oversees concerns with Irelands long term debt problems and Chinas
interest rate hikes aimed at cooling off the fast pace of their growing economy.
Experts are predicting that the dollar will remain lower into the next year as
the Fed pumps money into the economy through QE2. The traditional relationship
between the dollar and precious metal commodities is an inverse one and thus the
lower dollar value is expected to boost commodity prices. Recent precious metal
data reveals that spot gold price is at $1,356.89. Spot silver is at $27.45.
Overall in 2010, Gold has jumped 23%. Analysts believe that the price jump
overall stems from oversees demand, but the message out of China right now is
indirectly negative. The move to slow down their economy will be interpreted as
an inflation reducing event and increase apprehensions about investing in
precious metals right now. Last trading price for Gold December delivery
contract was in the red by .05% at $1,352.30. Silver was in the green by 1.29%
at $27.18. Copper was up as well by.07% at $3.83. Author: Camillo Zucari

Gold Price Lessons for Oil Traders
Gold Price movements have led oil dramatically this year to date…
HARD ASSET prices sold off hard last week as concerns over credit tightening in the Chinese market prompted traders and investors to rethink their inflation notions, says Brad Zigler at Hard Assets Investor.
Unexpectedly, in October, year-over-year inflation on the Chinese mainland rose to 4.4%, prompting authorities to jawbone a jack-up of interest rates and price controls.
Thus Gold Prices tumbled from that $1400-per-ounce level reached after a nearly unabated three-month rise. Industrial commodities also took it on the chin, as fears of slowing growth in China percolated.
But the most industrial of commodities is, of course, oil. Oil had rallied in autumn along with gold, albeit with greater volatility, and with punier returns as well. Gold Prices chugged uphill from July’s end to a 14.8% gain ahead of the November election. Simultaneously, oil pitched and rolled 3.2% higher.
The wheels on the commodity undercarriage started wobbling after the votes were tallied and, more importantly, once the Fed laid out the parameters of its second tranche of quantitative easing. Then oil and gold both tumbled.
Gold Prices led the way down, just as they had led the way up. Since the top of November, bullion’s slumped 1.7%, while front-month WTI crude prices have slid 1.3%.
Recently, oil prices have gyrated nearly twice as much as gold. This autumn, the annualized standard deviation in oil’s daily close has been 27.8%, while gold’s wobbled at a 14.7% rate.
But most arresting is the expectations of future volatility reflected in option prices. As gold topped the $1400 mark, the CBOE Gold Volatility Index (CBOE: GVZ) jumped to 24.65. This index represents the near-term variance in the price of the SPDR Gold Shares Trust (NYSE Arca: GLD) – here, an annualized 24.65% – as imputed to option premiums. A week before, when gold was $50 lower, the volatility index registered 21.87.
Metrics like the CBOE Gold Volatility Index are often called “fear indexes”, because their gyrations measure the cost of insuring their underlying assets. Options are, after all, insurance contracts. Owners of assets like gold or gold proxies, for example, can purchase put options to protect their investments in anticipation of stormy market activity. The put sets a worst-case sales price for the asset in the event of a plunge. If the storm passes or never materializes, the insurance can be peeled off or allowed to expire while the underlying asset is retained.
A fear index exists for oil prices, too. The CBOE Oil Volatility Index (CBOE: OVX) tracks the risk in United States Oil Fund (NYSE Arca: USO) contracts. At gold’s recent peak, oil traded for $86.72, pegging the fear index at 30.93. The volatility trajectory for oil, though, was opposite gold’s. A week before, the CBOE Oil Volatility Index was 31.56.
And now? What’s the options market telling us of future volatility? At last Wednesday’s close, GVZ had drifted down to 22.09, while OVX ballooned to 33.69. The message here is that option traders were growing more comfortable with the trend in gold’s price than oil’s.
Does that mean that traders think gold is likely to bounce while oil continues downward? Perhaps, but not necessarily.
These volatility indexes take the measure of puts together with calls – contracts that afford their owners protection against higher prices. To be sure of professional expectations, we have to isolate the puts from the calls. That allows us to monitor the market for downside protection.
In fact, the cost indexes for puts on gold and oil proxies have moved in opposite directions recently. The chart below plots values since the gold top on Nov. 9.
Gold puts (or here, downside protection on the GLD proxy) have cheapened relatively. Oil puts (again, puts on the USO exchange-traded fund) got more expensive. Thursday last week, oil insurance costs spiked B-I-G time. So, is that a harbinger of lower oil prices in the immediate future? Well, it says that traders believe the odds of another down leg have certainly increased.
Is that a guarantee of lower oil prices? Of course not. Option traders, remember, deal in probabilities and cost/benefit trade-offs. After the recent sell-off, the prospect of a relief rally shouldn’t be discounted. Given the oil market’s volatility, though, having a floor price locked in just seems like good business.
Traders’ fears were heightened by the increase in oil’s downside momentum despite Wednesday’s bullish inventory report. Earlier, commercial traders signaled their concern about lower prices by amassing a record-high net short position in WTI futures.
With Wednesday’s support taken out, crude is now poised, after the relief reaction, to aim for the $78 level I reckon – the halfway point of its May-November ascent.
Not that there won’t be some volatility along the way, mind you.

Newsworthy Stocks
Do Investors Have Their Heads in the Clouds?
dow2664
A year ago when I wrote my book The Green Light on Green Stocks: A Quick Guide to Green Investing and Making Money in Alternative Energy Stocks , I started touting cloud computing as a green industry, not to mention a way of providing money saving services to many corporations. Cloud computing as a growing industry is finally being recognized. Look at Salesforce.com (CRM), which is up 633% since it started trading in 2004. Last week, Isilon (ISLN) shares jumped 28.5% in one day, after EMC announced it would take over the company at $33.85 a share. So what is cloud computing? It is having your programs and data stored remotely, ‘in the clouds,’ instead of on individual computers. As long as you have Internet connection, you can have a fairly dumb computer ans still utilize cloud computing. So where are these so-called clouds? They are basically, in very simple terms, the servers of companies that provide this service, and those servers can be located anywhere. Do you have Yahoo (YHOO) mail, Google (GOOG) gmail, or hotmail? Then you are using cloud computing in a small way. You don’t have the email servers in your office or home, you use the Yahoo or Google servers. As a matter of fact, many public universities are turning over their student email services to Google, giving students a type of gmail account. It saves them money on servers and saves on staffing for support. These same benefits apply to the private sector, especially when you extend it to data storage and computer software. You don’t need a technician to come out an install new software to each employees’ station. You don’t need a bunch of network administrators monitoring the company’s servers. You don’t need to periodically upgrade computers. You don’t need to own a bunch of servers. You cut down on the costs and issues relating to the disposal of old computers and servers. You don’t need to deal with data security, as that is the job of the cloud computing company. The benefits of clouds are extensive, and there are over 25 stocks in the cloud industry to choose from, according to the Cloud Computer Stock list at WallStreetNewsNetwork.com, including companies involved in server farms and outsourced storage systems. Salesforce.com is a provider of customer-relationship management services that has promoted ‘the end of software’. Salesforce has customers of all sizes, including Corporate Express division of Staples (SPLS), Daiwa Securities (DSECY.PK), Expedia (EXPE), Dow Jones Newswires subsidiary of News Corp. (NWS-A), SunTrust Banks (STI), and Kaiser Permanente. Salesforce trades at a lofty 76 times forward earnings, debt in the amount of $476 million, with over $742 million in cash. The company just reported a quarterly sales increase of 30% year over year, with a one cent drop in earnings per share. VMware (VMW) is another major cloud and virtualization player. Its product VMware vSphere is a cloud computing data center platform. It sports a forward PE ratio of 45. The company has $450 million in debt with $2.9 billion in cash. The company reported that latest earnings increased an incredible 121.4% in earnings on a 45.8% increase in revenues. Citrix Systems, Inc. (CTXS) provides on demand applications and online services, including GoToMeeting, GoToWebinar, GoToTraining, GoToAssist, and GoToMyPC. This debt free company has $902 million in cash and carries a forward PE of 29. The latest quarterly earnings were up 64.3% on a revenue increase of 17.8%.
