Marc Jacobs fall fashion showImaxtree

“When it’s all about stripes, Marc serves dots,” Tweeted InStyle managing editor Ariel Foxman of Marc Jacobs‘s fall 2011 collection. The circular influence was everywhere—fishscale paillette skirts, round berets by Stephen Jones millinery, and polka-dot tights. Jacobs also used rich colors—emerald, burgundy, and navy—as his palette for military jackets, skirt suits, and more dot-adorned separates. The designer’s accessories are also bound to be must-haves, with structured bags, heavy wedge boots, and chic polka dot gloves.

At Mid day the market indexes were all trending in the red with retail and auto
sales both falling short of economists expectations. Reports indicate that

that business inventories rose 0.8% for the month of December exceeding the 0.6%
forecast by economists. NYSE Euronext, the parent company of the New York Stock
Exchange, announced it will merge with Germanys Deutsche Boerse in a $10 billion
deal. The merger will make it the worlds largest exchange for stocks and
derivatives. The deal is expected to draw strong opposition from both U.S. and
European regulators as well as diversified political and public groups. The deal
will make the company 60% owned by Deutsche Boerse shareholders and 40% owned by
NYSE Euronext shareholders and create a new Dutch holding company that will have
dual headquarters in New York and Frankfurt. No new name has been released and,
pending regulatory and shareholder approval, the transaction is anticipated to
be completed by the end of 2011. The National Association of Homebuilders
reported its preliminary housing market index for February held at 16, falling

Tuesday’s Apple Rumors – Macbook Air May Get 3G Access Like iPad

Here is your daily Apple rumors and stock news for Tuesday, including new App
Store restrictions, an iPhone 5 and hints at a new Macbook Air with 3G wireless
technology. New Apple Survey Hints at 3G MacBook Air: A new survey conducted by
Apple suggests that Apples popular laptop computers may get iPad-style wireless
communication support in the coming year. The questionnaire sent to select
MacBook Air owners includes questions about those users interest in 3G
communication support, the need for external disc drives, USB support and
cloud-based data storage. Its difficult to say whether or not laptop owners
would be willing to pay large data usage fees for a non-handheld device. Given
the hints that Apple is looking to bring its entire product line closer in
functionality with each other, the features discussed in this survey seem likely
to appear in future MacBooks. App Store Subscription Service Comes With New
Restrictions: Well tech stock Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL ) finally released its
latest payment option for the Apple App Store in iOS devices. App developers can
now offer subscriptions, whether it is for periodicals like News Corp. (NYSE:
NWS ) digital newspaper The Daily or other media that offers regularly updated
content. The new pay model is also fueling Apples new restrictions on apps
available in its store. Though Apple stock news has repeatedly indicated app
publishers must offer its products in the App Store even if they are also
available independently via the Web, it is only now that Apple is enforcing the
rule. For instance, Time Warner (NYSE: TWX ) magazine Time Inc. has been
embroiled in disputes with Apple since mid-2010 over how publications like
Sports Illustrated would be distributed on the iPad and iPhone. Last summer, the
issue was resolved with Time Inc. offering its publications independently of the
App Store, but that policy that is no longer possible. Digital Daily confirmed
on Tuesday that all apps must comply with the new rules by June 30, so Time
Warner and other publishers better figure out this new subscription system in a
hurry if they want to be on the iPad or iPhone. T-Mobile Executive Says iPhone 5
to Feature Mobile Wallet: Technology blog Engadget reported on Tuesday morning
that T-Mobile parent company Deutsche Telekom confirmed long-standing rumors
that the next iPhone will act electronically as your wallet when it comes out
later this year. To be clear, this is only for global iPhone users not folks
here in the states, who are still limited to AT&T (NYSE: T ) or Verizon (NYSE:
VZ) iPhones. During its live event at the Mobile World Conference in Barcelona,
Deutsche Telekom presented its plans for the Mobile Wallet service through
T-Mobile around the world and specifically mentioned Apples iPhone in the
presentation. But again, while the Mobile Wallet will be available on phones
supported by T-Mobile USA, this is not confirmation that T-Mobile will bring its
international support for the iPhone domestic (that is, to the U.S.). As of this
writing, Anthony John Agnello did not own a position in any of the stocks named
here.

Rand Logistics, Inc. (NASDAQ:RLOG) Hits New High on 4Q Results above Consensus

Rand Logistics, Inc. (NASDAQ:RLOG) posted its third fiscal quarter results
above street consensus on Monday. The Company reported third fiscal quarter net
revenue of $36.61 million, down 1.90% year over year from $37.32 million in the
same quarter last year, above the analysts' estimate of $33.1 million.
Excluding fuel and other surcharges, and outside charter revenue, Marine freight
revenue of $27.3 million has been recorded, down 4.4% year over year from $28.6
million. This decrease is the results of 15 less sailing days and both less
favorable weather conditions and commodity mix, partially offset by a stronger
Canadian dollar. Net income of $3.2 million or 24 cents a share has been
recorded for the quarter, up 10.34% from $2.9 million or 22 cents a share for
the same quarter last year. Analysts on an average were expecting to post EPS of
17 cents a share. Looking ahead, for fiscal 2012, the company revised its
guidance & said that it expects free cash flow of $1.15 to $1.30 per share from
previous guidance of $0.90 to $1.00 per share for the year ending March 31,
2012. The Company also announced that it has acquired two Jones Act compliant,
self-unloading integrated tug/barge units from KK Integrated Shipping (KKIS).
The acquisition was structured with $35.5 million cash paid at closing
(including $31.0 million financed with third party debt), $5.1 million of
attractively priced junior seller paper and 1,305,963 shares of the Companys
common stock. Shares of a shipping company engaged in the operation of bulk
carriers on the Great Lakes gained $1.01 or 19.09% to trade close at $6.30 after
the company announced its third quarter results above analysts' expectation.
The stock touched the new annual high of $7.10, its annual low being $4.00. It
opened at $5.65 and traded with volume of 196,370 shares. The market
capitalization of the stock stands at $84.84 million with P/E of 96.63 and beta
of 0.66. The Company through its subsidiary, Lower Lakes Towing Ltd. (Lower
Lakes Towing), provides bulk freight shipping services throughout the Great
Lakes region and operated eight vessels (the Core Vessels). Rand's shipping
business is operated in Canada by Lower Lakes Towing and in the United States by
Lower Lakes Transportation Company (Lower Lakes Transportation). Disclaimer: The

financial results on Thursday. The Company announced its fourth fiscal quarter

loss of $4.0 million, or 57 cents a share. During the quarter, Revenue soared
24% year over year and 22% quarter over quarter to $5.8 million, from a year ago
sales of $4.7 million and third quarter sales of $4.8 million. This increase in
revenue is the results of increase in broadband telecom revenues from $3.9

from $161,000, while professional services revenues declined 70% year over year

TODAY’S STOCK MARKET DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL AVERAGE DJI, S&P 500, NASDAQ INDEX TRENDS, NOTES February 15th, 2011 Approaching Mid Day

Stocks ended the day yesterday relatively flat. Major news to process stemmed
from President Obamas 2012 budget proposal. The goal of the proposal is to
reduce the nations growing deficit. Specifically, the President proposed to cut
the long term deficit by $1.1 trillion dollars. A staggering amount and enough
to get the attention of the American public. Many Americans, and even
congressional leaders, are keeping their eyes and ears opened to this proposal
as costly government programs such as Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security are
on the block for reform. Index composites ended the day mixed yesterday but were
positioned better prior to opening bell this morning. Prior to opening bell for
todays trading session, the Dow, Nasdaq and S&P 500 were all posting green
according to market tracking but turned lower in the morning as January retail
sales fell below expectation. The Commerce Department reported that retails
sales rose 0.3% in January but did not reach the anticipated 0.5% increase.
Automobile and auto parts sales also missed the mark with a 0.3% increase that
fell below the forecast of 0.6%. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that
Januarys price index for U.S. imports increased 1.5% and U.S. exports rose 1.2%.
The National Association of Homebuilders is expected to release its housing
market index for February, with an anticipated rise from 16 in January to 17
this month. Approaching mid day the major market indexes are all in the red. Dow
has decreased by 32.54 points or 0.27% to 12235.65. Nasdaq is down 10.49 points
or 0.37% to 2806.69. S&P 500 fell 3.63 points or 0.27% to 1328.69. The

Starbucks News is Good for April Options

Traders were atwitter last week over Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX ) plans to unveil
"in the near future" a new single-serve coffee product . Starbucks recently
won a suit ending its dozen-year partnership with Kraft (NYSE: KFT ).  Rumors
are swirling that Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (NASDAQ: GMCR ) could be the
beneficiary. Option trading investors already know it but never forget take all
rumors with a grain of salt. Although Starbucks recently announced record
seasonal profits, it also issued conservative forward guidance of just
$1.43-$1.47 per share. Rising commodity prices may prove to be an obstacle, as
coffee Starbucks' lifeblood is no exception, with coffee prices at a 13-year
high. Sure, SBUX is up nearly 50% in the past year alone, and it plans to open
500 new stores this year in markets like China along with entering the Indian
market. Still, I like the SBUX April 33 Calls , which are going for about $1.60
today. Note that Starbucks CEO Howard Schulz recently joined the board of
Groupon, the super-successful online deal house. It wouldn't be surprising if
Groupon were to offer deals on Starbucks gift cards and merchandise (say, a
brand-new single-cup coffee brewer). In the nearer term, however, consumers
aren't going to give up their Starbucks runs. It's still "the" meeting
place for students and small-business owners. And with healthier menu items than
fast-food joints, it's a one-stop shop for consumers on the go.

Monthly Dividend Real Estate Companies

A little over a year ago, I predicted that the bottom of the real estate market would take place in November of 2009. There were positive signs in 2010 but as I mentioned in my article, real estate is like a giant ship; it takes a long time to turn, unlike the stock market, which can turn on a dime. If you think real estate is turning around, there are alternatives to buying a rental house. Alternatives include real estate investment trusts and closed-ended funds that invest in real estate securities. These investments can provide liquidity and income, plus you don’t have to worry about being called at 2 o’clock in the morning about a leaky toilet. According to WallStreetNewsNetwork.com, there are several real estate stocks that pay dividends monthly , with yields ranging from 2.3% to 7%. For example, Inland Real Estate Corporation (IRC), a real estate investment trust that owns and operates shopping centers and single-tenant retail properties in the Midwest, yields 6.2%. The company has been paying monthly dividends since July of 2004. The stock trades at 11 times forward earnings. It just reported lower fourth-quarter results, with funds for operations at 21 cents a share for the quarter versus 23 cents a share for the same quarter last year. LMP Real Estate Income Fund Inc. (RIT) is an exchange traded fund that invests in various companies involved in the real estate sector. The stock provides a yield of 4.3% which is payable monthly. Dividends have been paid since 2002. The ETF trades at a price to earnings ratio of 3. The stock is currently selling below its net asset value as of year end of 11.07.

Volatility Decline Impairs VIX, VXZ Premiums

VXZ Chart We all know the problems with the VXX, by now, right? That's the iPath S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN (NYSE: VXX ). Contango in nearer month VIX futures basically puts a weight on top of it. All other thing in VXX being equal (i.e., not soaring) and VXX will fall. But the VXZ, i.e. the iPath S&P 500 VIX Mid-Term Futures ETN (NYSE: VXZ )? That’s a different animal. It proxies VIX futures of four to seven month duration. And out that far, option trading investors rarely see much of a slope between VIX futures. There’s about a 50 cent premium each successive month out, versus $1.60 difference between the near two months now. So issues rolling out to maintain duration have far less impact. So when you see VXZ drop, it's simply a combo of the CBOE Volatility Index ( VIX ) dropping and the futures all contracting. And as you can see on the chart here, VXZ has had an awful 2011. Its down about 20%, vs. an 11% drop in VIX itself. Under normal circumstances, VXZ only captures one-quarter or so of VIX, so that’s incredible underperformance. It's not tough to see what’s going on here. Futures premiums have caved in. Not that long ago, a VIX future with six months to go could fetch $8-$10 over VIX. No more, that’s down to the $5-$6 range. What’s it all mean? Well, since 2008, we have had almost a permanent assumption that volatility was just in a fleeting calm before the next onrushing storm. But as time has gone on, those volatility spikes have become less frequent, and more blip-like when they do happen. And as such, futures premiums have eroded. And frankly, why shouldn’t they? The year 2008 was more outlier than sign of future times. Over the course of time, VIX has averaged about 20. But it spends extended stretches well below there. In fact it spent almost the entirety of four full years in the teens (or lower) not that long ago. From 2003 to 2007, 20 VIX seemed like a panic. On a contrary basis, we can call the drop in VXZ bearish for the market on account of creeping complacency. If you want to buy a volatility ETN for whatever reason, I’d certainly pick VXZ over VXX. That’s not to say its without risk though. Even though VIX premiums have decline substantially, there’s no saying we don’t have more to go. After all, if VIX in the mid-teens is fair, then VIX futures will ultimately work their way to the mid-teens too. Follow Adam Warner on Twitter @agwarner .
