Early Market News: Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE:XOM), Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:INTC), IBM (NYSE:IBM)

Here are more news stories which could affect stocks on world markets in trading later today. The following stocks should see some movement: Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE:XOM), Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:INTC), IBM (NYSE:IBM). Here is a more detailed look at the news that will affect each company when trading continues. Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE:XOM) Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM) has planned to divest parts of its stake in North Sea oilfields. The latest decision by Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM) to sell portions of its North Sea oil fields is part of a strategy to dump non-core assets. As per reports in Indigopool, the properties to be offloaded are currently owned by the company's recently-acquired XTO Energy Corporation and have not been assigned any specific dollar value thus far. Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM)'s XTO is offering to sell a 15% stake in these three oil field blocks. Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:INTC) Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) results have beaten forecasts and estimates. Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) investors can cheer up, as the quarterly revenues published by the company were more than estimates and forecasts. The increased sales in the corporate sector have been considered to be a major reason behind the better results. Patrick Wang, an analyst at Wedbush Securities, said that, “It seems like they’re doing pretty well. The stock’s not really reacting off of it.

Sony Nears Unveiling of Next PlayStation Portable

Following four months of speculation, Sony (NYSE: SNE ) appears to be ready to
formally announce the PlayStation Portable 2 handheld game device. Online news
outlets VG247 and MCV reported Wednesday that the company will hold a business
overview and strategy meeting in Tokyo on Jan. 27 to cover the formal
announcement. While Sony hasnt officially confirmed the date of the meeting,
these reports come just two-and-a-half weeks after Sony Computer Entertainment
President Kaz Hirai (rumored to be taking over as Sony CEO in 2011) discussed
the handheld gaming device in an article published by The New York Times . Hirai
said his company had been planning its latest devoted portable gaming device
since the day the first PlayStation Portable was released in 2004. The first PSP
was billed as a portable game player, but also represented one of the first
mainstream efforts to build an overall media device. It supported both
downloadable movies, MP3 playback, and home videos sold on Sonys proprietary
disc media (the failed UMD format). This attempt to meld game, movie, and music
entertainment on a single platform came three years before Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL )
successfully did it on two platforms, the iPod Touch and iPhone. Its into that
market fostered by Apples success, where smartphones running on Microsofts
(NASDAQ: MSFT ) Windows Phone 7, Googles (NASDAQ: GOOG ) Android, Research in
Motions (NASDAQ: RIMM ) BlackBerry OS platforms and many others all run games in
addition to multimedia capabilities. Sony also is facing a portable gaming
market that has changed dramatically over the past two years, where consumers
expect 99-cent casual fare rather the $40, graphics-intensive games typical of
the average PSP title. High-end graphics and immersion appear to still be Sonys
focus with its portable gaming strategy, but high-end technology failed to help
Sony topple Nintendos (PINK: NTDOY ) Nintendo DS handheld device over the past
six years. Nintendo, meanwhile, is releasing its own new portable gaming machine
this spring, the Nintendo 3DS. The device is similar in form to the current
Nintendo but sports greatly improved graphics comparable (and reportedly better
than in some cases) to those seen in high-end iPad games like Epic Games
recently released Infinity Blade . The 3DS real hook, however, is that the
device is capable of displaying stereoscopic 3D images without the need for
special glasses. Sonys PSP2 is rumored to feature graphical output comparable to
whats seen on high-definition home consoles like Microsofts Xbox 360, but its
questionable whether that will be enough to woo consumers away from alternatives
like the iPod Touch and the brand loyalty that come attendant with almost all
Nintendo hardware releases. Both Nintendo and Sonys new gaming devices will face
an uphill battle when theyre released later this year. While hardware sales for
both the Nintendo DS and PSP have remained brisk these past six years, software
sales have steadily declined as Apples handheld devices have gained in
popularity as gaming hardware. Nintendo has already committed to cartridge-based
physical media as the Nintendo 3DS software format of choice, and Sony has
indicated that the PSP2 will also support some kind of physical media, if not
the original PSPs UMD format. Are consumers willing to buy boxed portable game
software at brick-and-mortar retail stores in 2011? Well know more in the first
half of this year. As of this writing, Anthony John Agnello did not own a
position in any of the stocks named here.

The Most Unusual Source of Energy to Heat Buildings: Body Heat

dow2664
Negocioenlinea

Here is one source of green energy that I didn’t include in my book, The Green Light on Green Stocks: A Quick Guide to Green Investing and Making Money in Alternative Energy Stocks . I covered everything from wind to solar to cogeneration to flywheels to cloud computing, but I didn’t include body heat. A real estate company in Stockholm, Sweden called Jernhusen , has put the heat from human bodies to good use, using it to heat a building. All the hundreds of thousands of daily passengers that go through Stockholm Central Station generate a huge amount of body heat. That heat is captured, used to heat water which is transported to another building in order to warm the secondary building. An energy savings of about 25% is claimed. Although there is no way to invest in body heat energy yet, there are still plenty of other environmentally conscious energy producing companies. You can find free lists of green energy companies , such as ethanol stocks, cloud computing stocks, and water purification stocks, at WallStreetNewsNetwork.com. The lists can be downloaded, sorted, and updated. By Stockerblog.com

dow2664
Negocioenlinea

The market has pushed higher on Friday with all three of the major market indexes holding with greater than .4% in gains with two hours left before the closing bell. As the week comes to a close, investors have turned their attention to the upcoming week where they anxiously anticipated a continued line-up of corporate quarterly earnings reports. The increase in the market has been credited to this positive push forward to reports next week. Although the market has been making great gains, economists report that it is due for a correction but thus far has been keeping itself in check . The daily pullbacks in the market are a good sign and economists report that rather than dropping significantly, the market has made successful lateral moves. The Commerce Department reported that both inflation and retail sales rose in December. The Commerce Department’s Consumer Price Index rose 0.5% . The CPI is a key measure of consumer inflation. Retail sales increased 0.6% in December, although falling just short of the 0.7% anticipated by economists. The Federal Reserve reports that industrial production rose 0.8% in December and capacity utilization is expected to increase from 75.4% in November to 76 in December. Approaching close the major market indexes continue the positive trending with increasing gains. Dow is up 56.27 points or 0.48% to 11,788.17. Nasdaq is up 14.97 points or 0.55% to 2,750.24. S&P 500 is up 7.86 points or 0.61% to 1291.73. The Treasuries 10-year yield is up 0.02 to 3.32%. Oil is down 0.17 to $91.23 a barrel. The dollar is up 0.0003 to the Euro at $1.34.

Sony Nears Unveiling of Next PlayStation Portable

Following four months of speculation, Sony (NYSE: SNE ) appears to be ready to formally announce the PlayStation Portable 2 handheld game device. Online news outlets VG247 and MCV reported Wednesday that the company will hold a “business overview and strategy meeting” in Tokyo on Jan. 27 to cover the formal announcement. While Sony hasn’t officially confirmed the date of the meeting, these reports come just two-and-a-half weeks after Sony Computer Entertainment President Kaz Hirai (rumored to be taking over as Sony CEO in 2011) discussed the handheld gaming device in an article published by The New York Times .

Tech SPDRs, Micron Spur Options Trading

The options market update, posted one hour before the close on Wednesday,
January 12, 2011 by Frederic Ruffy. Bullish flow detected in China MediaExpress
(NASDAQ: CCME ), with 4888 calls trading, or two times the recent average daily
call volume. Bullish flow detected in Kimberly-Clark Corp. (NYSE: KMB ), with
8112 calls trading, or five times the recent average daily call volume. Bearish
activity detected in Northrop Grumman (NYSE: NOC ), with 2207 puts trading, or
four times the recent average daily put volume in the name. Increasing volume is
also being seen in NVidia (NASDAQ: NVDA ), Walmart (NYSE: WMT), and Monsanto
(NYSE: MON ). Sentiment The table was set for morning gains on Wall Street after
stock market averages moved broadly higher across the Euro-zone. Spain's IBEX
index rallied 5.4% on news of a successful bond auction in Portugal. In the
U.S., the financials rallied and an hour before the close Bank of America (NYSE:
BAC ) and JP Morgan (NYSE: JPM ) are leading the Dow Jones Industrial Average to
an 85-point gain. Exxon (NYSE: XOM ) and Chevron (NYSE: CVX ) are also helping
the Dow after crude oil settled just shy of $92 a barrel. Agricultural
commodities are also rallying after the USDA released a bullish crop report
Wednesday morning. Meanwhile, the tech-heavy NASDAQ is up 17.5 points. With less
than an hour to trade, the CBOE Volatility Index ( .VIX ) is down .41 to 16.48.
Trading in the options market is active and reflects the bullish underlying
tone, with 8 million calls and 5.6 million puts traded so far. Bullish Flow
Technology Select Sector SPDR (NYSE: XLK ) touches a new 52-week high and is up
20 cents to $25.93 and one investor buys-to-open a block of 100,000 XLK January
26 Calls at 21 cents each. The position, which appears opening, is a short-term
play. January options expire at the end of next week and markets are closed
Monday for the holiday. After today, only six trading days remaining before the
January expiration. It might be a play on the recent momentum in the tech sector
and or earnings from Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) Thursday afternoon. Micron Technology
(NASDAQ: MU ) shares are rallying and call volume is surging. Shares are up 56
cents to $9.28 and 65,000 contracts traded on the chipmaker. MU Feb 9 and 10
Calls are seeing brisk trading, driven predominately by buyers, as more than
two-thirds trading at the asking price. Some investors might be liquidating
positions in Jan 9 calls, which have traded 15,900 times (59% on the bid).
Implied volatility (IV) is up 2.5% to 42. No news on the stock today, but note
that the company is presenting at a Needham Growth Conference and MU was also
the subject of bullish activity two days ago. Bearish Flow The top trades of the
day recently surfaced in the SPYders SPDR S&P 500 (NYSE: SPY ) and are part of a
put fly, in which the investor sold 80,000 SPY Feb 121 Puts at 60 cents to buy
40,000 SPY Feb 116 Puts at 26 cents and buy 40,000 SPY Feb 126 Puts at $1.47.
This fly, for a net debit of 53 cents, is likely a short-term hedge. With shares
up $1.15 to $128.58, this spread offers a max pay-off if shares fall to $121
(5.9% by the Feb expiration (37 days to go). Implied Volatility Mover PMC-Sierra
(NASDAQ: PMCS ) adds 19 cents to $9 per share and speculative buyers surfaced in
the name Wednesday morning. The  PMCS Jan $9 Calls are the most active with
2600 traded (76% ask) vs. 553 in open interest. Looks like opening buyers in Jan
$10 calls as well. In total, 5,150 calls and 100 puts traded on the chipmaker
through midday. Implied volatility jumped 13.5% to 42. Author Frederic Ruffy is
a well-known trader, writer, and strategist who has spent years educating
investors and creating intelligent, insightful, unbiased market observations
that are frequently cited by the Wall Street Journal and other financial
publications.

High Yield Stocks of the Third Largest Economy in the World

Negocioenlinea

Can you guess what the third largest economy in the world is? Not the United States, not China. It is India, which also happens to be the second fastest growing major economy in the world. If you think tech is their biggest industry, you would be wrong. IT accounts for only about 1% of the total GDP; however, India ranks second worldwide in farm output. It also has the fourth-largest reserves in the world of coal. There are plenty of India stocks that US investors can buy and dividends are available on more than half a dozen of the Indian stocks that trade in the United States, according to WallStreetNewsNetwork.com. For example, Tata Motors Ltd. (TTM), a major automobile manufacturer in India also makes and markets utility vehicles, trucks, buses, and defense vehicles. It produces gasoline, electric and hybrid vehicles. The stock pays a yield of 1.1% and trades at only 7.8 times forward earnings. Quarterly revenues grew 36.8% for the quarter ending September 30. The company also has about $3.45 per share in cash. Another Indian stock that pays a dividend is ICICI Bank Ltd. (IBN), the second largest bank in India and the largest private sector bank in India based on market capitalization. It currently yields 1.1% and has a forward price to earnings ratio of 16. Quarterly earnings jumped 79% on a revenue gain of 13.5% for the quarter ending March 31. Wipro Ltd. (WIT) is a semi-conglomerate, which sells software services, computer hardware such as computers, servers, and laptops, and personal care products, and lighting products. It has also invested in renewable energy projects. The stock has a yield of 0.8% and a forward PE of 29. Earnings for the quarter ending September 30 were up 9.8%. To access a free recently updated list of the India stocks that trade in the United States , about half of which pay dividends, go to WallStreetNewsNetwork.com.

Tax Software Use Online Tax Completion on Rise; 2010 Changes to Tax Law; Earned Income Tax Credit Changes; Maximum Amount Increases

dow2664
Negocioenlinea

Americans are now beginning to apply more focus and attention towards preparing their tax documentation as tax time is quickly approaching. Approximately, thirty three percent of the American population will utilize software that will help to support individual completion of one’s taxes. The trendline of American’s that utilize such software is on the rise as the software becomes more accessible and easier to follow. The tax software is intended to provide easy to understand step-by-step guidelines for figuring out ones specific tax situation . It allows for tax completion in the privacy of the home or office and also allows for online filing of the tax documentation once complete. Approximately seventy percent of all returns were e-filed, filed via the internet, last year. Every year includes its share of tax changes that Americans need to be aware of so it is pertinent that old software be updated. In 2010, earned income tax changes were applied as the maximum amount of the credit has increased. If you have qualifying children, the most you can get is $5,666 dollars of credit for three or more qualifying children. One gets $3,050 if they have one qualifying child and $5,036 if they have just two children that qualify. This is just one of the many changes that Americans need to be aware of for tax documentation completion this year. Author: Genny Germano
