Here are your Apple rumors and news items for Thursday. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL ) is facing the end of Sony music on iTunes, Steve Jobs is working hard on iPad 2 plans and online Verizon iPhone orders dramatically outweigh brick and mortar orders. Sony Threatens to Pull Music From iTunes: The growing feud between Apple and Sony (NYSE: SNE ) heated up on Friday when Sony Computer Entertainment executive Michael Ephraim hinted that Sony is considering removing its music properties from the iTunes Music Store. Speaking with Australian news outlet The Age , Ephraim discussed the impending release of the Music Unlimited subscription-based music service from Sony in Australia and said that he hoped it would eliminate the need to have Sony’s music on iTunes. “[Does] Sony Music need to provide content to iTunes?” he said. “Currently we do. We have to provide it to iTunes as that’s the format right now,” said Ephraim. “Publishers are being held ransom by Apple and they are looking for other delivery systems, and we are waiting to see what the next three to five years will hold.” Sony recently came into conflict with Apple when the company’s Sony Reader app, a digital bookstore akin to Apple’s iBookstore and the Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN ) Kindle App, was banned from the iOS App Store on grounds that Apple won’t distribute other app stores. Steve Jobs Working Hard on iPhone 5, iPad 2: The Wall Street Journal gave an update on CEO Steve Jobs activities with Apple on Friday, just shy of one month after the executive began a six month leave of absence from daily operations due to health problems. Sources say that though Jobs isn’t at the Cupertino, California campus, he remains hard at work on the next iterations of the iPad and iPhone, both expected to release in the next six months. Daily operations at Apple under COO Tim Cook, filling in during Jobs’ absence, have stayed unchanged. Jobs’ health, meanwhile, remains a mystery. Sources say the CEO continues to look thin and that appears to be “going about things in much the same way as he did during his previous medical leave, at the time of his transplant.” Low Turnout for Verizon iPhone at Retail Point : Past iPhone releases have often been marked by large consumer turnout at retailers, with lines stretching full city blocks while people wait for a chance at Apple’s latest smartphones. The much-hyped CDMA iPhone 4 release on Thursday was low key by comparison; Mike Abramsky of RBC analyst said that a survey of 40 Verizon (NYSE: VZ ) stores in more than 6 cities said that though “demand was steady throughout the day,” only some stores were expecting to sell out. Some blogs like Silicon Alley Insider said that the lines of customers waiting for the phone were “laughably short.” Verizon and Apple shareholders have little to worry about however as Ticonderoga Securities analyst Brian White says that the low turnout had more to do with the strength of last week’s preorders than consumer disinterest. Verizon sold out its allotment of preorders in just 2 hours on February 3, and though the company didn’t specify exact numbers, White suggests that between 700,000 and 1 million CDMA iPhone 4s were preordered. Coupled with decent, if not massive, customer turnout on Thursday, the CDMA iPhone 4 stands a good chance of breaking the AT&T (NYSE: T ) iPhone 4′s first day sales record. As of this writing, Anthony John Agnello did not own a position in any of the stocks named here.

Stock market tracking this morning prior to opening bell revealed that major indexes in the United States were positioned in negative territory. Political turmoil in Egypt was helping to put a damper on stock action. This, paired with some of the negative earnings reports yesterday, pushed the Dow into the red as of yesterday’s close for the first time after multiple days of closing in the green. As of the half way point of today’s trading session in the United States, market tracking reveals that the major index composites are pushing higher. The Dow Jones Industrial, Nasdaq and S&P 500 are all trending in the green as we approach the mid-day point of the last trading session for this week. Stocks are edging higher as positive sentiment is boosting investor optimism. According to the University of Michigan’s Consumer Sentiment report, consumer sentiment strengthened in February. The reported data revealed that the index rose to a preliminary reading of 75.1 which was up from January’s reading of 74.2. The report was positive in that it was higher than the prior sentiment posting a month prior, but expectations were a bit higher as economists had been anticipating the index to rise four tenths more. Regardless of this expectation, it was still a positive posting and helped index values trend green as of mid-day. Market tracking showed that the Dow Jones was higher by .28 percent at 12,263.65 at this point. The Nasdaq was higher by .31 percent at 2,789.92. The S&P 500 was green by .39 percent at 1,327.04 as mid-day approached. Author: Frank Matto

Here is our latest update on the stock trading technique called ‘Buying Dividends’. This is the process of buying stocks before the ex dividend date and selling the stock shortly after the ex date at about the same price, yet still being entitled to the dividend . This technique generally works only in bull markets. In flat or choppy markets, you have to be extremely careful. In order to be entitled to the dividend, you have to buy the stock before the ex-dividend date, and you can’t sell the stock until after the ex date. The actual dividend may not be paid for another few weeks. WallStreetNewsNetwork.com has compiled a downloadable and sortable Excel list of the stocks going ex dividend during the next week or two. The list contains many dividend paying companies, all with market caps over $500 million, and yields over 2%. Here are a few examples showing the stock symbol, the market capitalization, the ex-dividend date and the yield. CenterPoint Energy, Inc. (CNP) market cap: $6.8B ex div date: 2/14/2011 yield: 5.0% CSR Limited ADR (CSRLF) market cap: $394.4M ex div date: 2/14/2011 yield: 5.6% Consolidated Edison, Inc. (ED) market cap: $14.7B ex div date: 2/14/2011 yield: 4.8% LTC Properties, Inc. (LTC) market cap: $722.5M ex div date: 2/16/2011 yield: 6.1% Maxim Integrated Products Inc. (MXIM) market cap: $8.0B ex div date: 2/17/2011 yield: 3.2% The additional ex-dividend stocks can be found at wsnn.com. (If you have been to the website before, and the latest link doesn’t show up, you may have to empty your cache.) If you like dividend stocks, you should check out the high yield utility stocks and the Monthly Dividend Stocks at WallStreetNewsNetwork.com or WSNN.com. Dividend definitions: Declaration date: the day that the company declares that there is going to be an upcoming dividend. Ex-dividend date: the day on which if you buy the stock, you would not be entitled to that particular dividend; or the first day on which a shareholder can sell the shares and still be entitled to the dividend. Record date : the day when you must be on the company’s books as a shareholder to receive the dividend. The ex-dividend date is normally set for stocks two business days before the record date. Payment date: the day on which the dividend payment is actually made, which can be as long at two months after the ex date. Don’t forget to reconfirm the ex-dividend date with the company before implementing this technique. Disclosure: Author did not own any of the above at the time article was written. By Stockerblog.com
