Stocks Still Can’t Find Footing

Any confirmation needed that a 6% rally in stocks that began a month ago was
getting a little tired was found Monday, with equities retreating to their
lowest close in nearly two weeks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average wound up
gaining a point to finish at 12,381, but the Nasdaq slipped 9 points to 2772 and
the S&P 500 fell 4 points to 1324. As mentioned recently in this space, it was
becoming increasingly clear in the past few trading sessions that the main
drivers of a momentum-based rally small-caps, energy, and large-cap tech were
looking doubtful in their ability to provide any more energy for stocks upside.
And here we went again, with the Russell 2000 falling 0.8% on Monday and
putting up a decline of about 2.5% since Wednesdays close. Similarly, the Nasdaq
100 Index has found itself in a downtrend since the month started, and is in
fact down about 3.5% since hitting its 2011 closing high on Feb. 17. Oil prices
also gave back on Monday, settling under $110 a barrel for the first time since
last Thursday, and sapping the will of traders sifting through small- and
mid-cap energy stocks for one more momentum play. Of course, this meant good
news for airline stocks, which were among the top industry performers of the
day, reversing a 2011 downtrend for at least one day. Shares of Delta Air Lines
(NYSE: DAL ) rose 4.5%, while United Continental (NYSE: UAL ) gained 3.7%.
Perhaps another bright spot for stock optimists was the relative outperformance
by financial stocks, which hadnt joined wholeheartedly in the markets recent
advance. The SPDR Financial Select Sector (NYSE: XLF ) exchange-traded fund
finished precisely flat at $16.46, suggesting that at least in terms of
momentum-based sentiment, there is a bottom potentially in play. Much of that
could be altered by the next several weeks of first-quarter earnings reports,
which should put a little more substance behind what has been a fairly
low-volume rally and drift in stocks. The unofficial first entrant, Alcoa
(NASDAQ: AA ), didnt do much for bulls late Monday, offering a mixed bag
quarterly earnings report that saw the aluminum giant beat profit expectations
but fall short on the top line. More troubling for investors may be in potential
echoes to come from the earnings report late Monday from gaming equipment maker
WMS Industries (NYSE: WMS ), which lowered near-term quarterly forecasts and
said it didnt see much improvement to its industry outlook  for this year and
2012. Its that sort of statement that market bulls hope is few and far between
over the next few weeks.

"Lo que hemos visto hoy es una menor cautela de los inversionistas, en comparación con la sesión de ayer, frente a la compra de acciones", manifestó a la agencia Andina.

Sin embargo, comentó que lo que se prevé para los próximos días es una alta volatilidad en la plaza bursátil local.

BVL se desploma el viernes


La Bolsa de Valores de Lima (BVL) presentó indicadores negativos al cierre de la sesión de hoy, luego de tres alzas sucesivas, ante la toma de ganancias de los inversionistas debido a una mayor incertidumbre electoral.

El Indice General de la BVL, el más representativo de la bolsa local, bajó hoy 1.80 por ciento al pasar de 21,957 a 21,562 puntos.

El Indice Selectivo de la plaza bursátil limeña, que está conformado por las 15 acciones más negociadas en el mercado, retrocedió 1.71 por ciento al pasar de 29,989 a 29,476 puntos.

El Indice Nacional de Capitalización (INCA), conformado por las 20 acciones más líquidas que cotizan en la BVL, se depreció 1.28 por ciento.

En la sesión de hoy el monto negociado en acciones se situó en 119.71 millones de nuevos soles en 1,298 operaciones de compra y venta.

Entre las principales acciones que presentaron una evolución positiva en la BVL destacan las de Panoro Minerals (-8.62 por ciento), Río Cristal (-7.69 por ciento) y Río Alto (-6.06 por ciento).

El analista de NCF Sociedad Agente de Bolsa (SAB), Daniel Romero, señaló que la BVL se vio especialmente afectada por las acciones mineras e industriales, que bajaron 2.07 y 2.13 por ciento, respectivamente.

Después de tres días de alzas, se registró una toma de ganancias junto con nuevas encuestas electorales que lo único que hicieron fue incrementar la incertidumbre sobre el resultado de los comicios pues los mercados subieron en el exterior, indicó a la agencia Andina.

En ese sentido, consideró que los inversionistas estarán atentos a los resultados de las nuevas encuestas del fin de semana, por lo que es de esperarse que la volatilidad continúe en los próximos días.

Los mercados regionales cerraron positivos, al igual que la Bolsa de Valores de Nueva York (NYSE).

El índice industrial Dow Jones de la bolsa neoyorquina subió 0.46 por ciento, el indicador tecnológico Nasdaq y el índice Standard & Poor's avanzaron 0.31 y 0.50 por ciento, respectivamente.

BVL cerró negativa por toma de ganancias y noticias externas adversas


La Bolsa de Valores de Lima (BVL) presentó indicadores negativos al cierre de la sesión de hoy, luego de cuatro alzas sucesivas, debido a una toma de ganancias y en respuesta a noticias externas adversas que incrementaron nuevamente la aversión al riesgo.

El Indice General de la BVL, el más representativo de la bolsa local, bajó hoy 1.40 por ciento al pasar de 22,557 a 22,242 puntos.

El Indice Selectivo de la plaza bursátil limeña, que está conformado por las 15 acciones más negociadas en el mercado, retrocedió 1.53 por ciento al pasar de 30,752 a 30,280 puntos.

El Indice Nacional de Capitalización (INCA), conformado por las 20 acciones más líquidas que cotizan en la BVL, se depreció 2.14 por ciento.

En la sesión de hoy el monto negociado en acciones se situó en 104.69 millones de nuevos soles en 1,869 operaciones de compra y venta.

Entre las principales acciones que presentaron una evolución negativa en la BVL destacan las de Panoro Minerals (-7.58 por ciento), Río Cristal (-6.90 por ciento) y Atacocha (-5.11 por ciento).

El analista de Juan Magot y Asociados Sociedad Agente de Bolsa (SAB), Leoncio Altamirano, señaló que la BVL se vio especialmente afectada por las acciones mineras e industriales que bajaron 2.23 y 1.31 por ciento, respectivamente.

Luego de una importante recuperación en las últimas cuatro jornadas, los inversionistas optaron por tomar ganancias y la BVL ingresó a terreno negativo, que podría extenderse si no se renuevan las noticias desfavorables provenientes de la zona euro, indicó a la agencia Andina.

Manifestó que estas noticias externas adversas incrementaron nuevamente la aversión al riesgo, afectando especialmente a los mercados bursátiles de países emergentes.

En ese sentido, sugirió permanecer atentos al desempeño de la crisis de deuda en Portugal, que parece afectar la confianza de los inversionistas en los mercados bursátiles emergentes.

Los mercados regionales cerraron mixtos, mientras que la Bolsa de Valores de Nueva York (NYSE) presentó indicadores favorables especialmente.

El índice industrial Dow Jones de la bolsa neoyorquina subió 0.41 por ciento, mientras el indicador tecnológico Nasdaq y el índice Standard & Poor's avanzaron 0.24 y 0.32 por ciento, respectivamente.

BVL cierra positiva y acumula alza de 4.08% en últimas tres sesiones

La Bolsa de Valores de Lima (BVL) presentó indicadores positivos al cierre de la sesión de hoy, acumulando un alza de 4.08 por ciento en las últimas tres sesiones, evidenciando una rápida recuperación luego de la sobre reacción electoral negativa del lunes pasado.

El Indice General de la BVL, el más representativo de la bolsa local, subió 0.69 por ciento al pasar de 21,807 a 21,957 puntos.

El Indice Selectivo de la plaza bursátil limeña, que está conformado por las 15 acciones más negociadas en el mercado, avanzó 0.63 por ciento al pasar de 29,802 a 29,989 puntos.

El Indice Nacional de Capitalización (INCA), conformado por las 20 acciones más líquidas que cotizan en la BVL, se apreció 1.09 por ciento.

En la sesión de hoy el monto negociado en acciones se situó en 47.84 millones de nuevos soles en 1,138 operaciones de compra y venta.

Entre las principales acciones que presentaron una evolución positiva en la BVL destacan las de Alicorp (5.06 por ciento), Volcan (4.55 por ciento) y La Positiva (9.38 por ciento).

El analista de Juan Magot y Asociados Sociedad Agente de Bolsa (SAB), Omar Delgado, señaló que la BVL se vio especialmente favorecida por las acciones mineras e industriales, que subieron 0.19 y 1.04 por ciento, respectivamente.

No obstante, mencionó que se percibió algo de cautela en la sesión pues se redujo el número de operaciones y el monto negociado respecto a las dos sesiones previas, indicó a la agencia Andina.

"Parece que el mercado está cauto esperando el debate y la encuesta del fin de semana para tomar posiciones, por lo que se espera que la jornada de mañana (viernes) sea similar a la de hoy, es decir, con un monto negociado menor al de los días previos, dependiendo asimismo del contexto internacional", dijo.

Refirió que, en este contexto electoral, se vieron afectadas especialmente las acciones junior, que son sensibles a las variaciones en la aversión al riesgo.

Añadió que la BVL acumuló un alza de 4.08 por ciento en los últimos tres días, recuperando casi totalmente la fuerte caída del lunes pasado de 5.16 por ciento.

"El mercado aprovechó los precios deprimidos de las acciones, verificadas el pasado lunes, y salió a comprar pues se registró mucho castigo en aquella sesión", anotó Delgado.

En ese sentido, anticipó que el lunes podría haber un pequeño rebote bursátil, en un escenario de mayor tranquilidad si se verifica que Ollanta Humala se sitúa segundo o tercero en las encuestas del fin de semana.

Los mercados regionales cerraron positivos, mientras que la Bolsa de Valores de Nueva York (NYSE) presentó indicadores mixtos.

El índice industrial Dow Jones de la bolsa neoyorquina bajó 0.25 por ciento, el indicador tecnológico Nasdaq avanzó 0.15 por ciento y el índice Standard & Poor's retrocedió 0.18 por ciento.

Q&A: How to get a nod from 'Project Runway's' Heidi Klum or Tim Gunn? Casting director Alissa Haight Carlton tells us

Project

What does it take to make it onto “Project Runway?” The lucky folks shown above with hosts Tim Gunn and Heidi Klum made it on last season, the eighth for the popular series.

April 15 marks the deadline for the show's casting call for Season 9. All The Rage sat down with the Lifetime show's casting director, Alissa Haight Carlton, to get the scoop on what it takes to recieve an eyelash bat from Klum or raised brow from Gunn — and compete with fellow designer hopefuls as America watches, of course.

All The Rage: What are some of the key things that you look for when casting for 'Project Runway?'

Haight Carlton: For this show we just really need talent, because we are looking for such a specific skill set. Especially because there's a lot of fashion designers who just don't sew.… We look for designers with a point of view that can sew like crazy.

Are you only looking for exceptional designers or is the show open to someone who has raw talent but needs to learn more?

Absolutely. If you look at Season 7, Anna Marie Lynett had a point of view and something to say with her clothing even though she had only been designing for something like six months.…We are also getting a lot of people right out of design school like Christian Siriano.

Generally, how many applicants are there?

Not as many as you would think, because there is such a specific skill set required unlike a show like “The Real World.” I would say there's below 1,000. Every year the applicant pool has gotten bigger.

While casting do you ever think, "this is going to be the villain" or "this is going to be the sweetheart"?

We don't go into it thinking we want to find X, Y and Z. What we do is really narrow down the talent. But it is a TV show and we don't want to cast 14 wallflowers and we want to make sure there's personality there.

Is there anyone from Season 8 who surprised you?

I guess I would say Mondo. He really became beloved by all of America that was in a way surprising. He has really become an active spokesperson for HIV, and we never expected that.

What are some mistakes people make when applying to the show?

A mistake some people make is sometimes they think they can put on a fake personality. Really, we just want them to be their selves.

Casting is always a puzzle. Oftentimes there's really great candidates who don't get on because there's someone too much like them, or they just aren't ready yet. Often they come back during casting for the next season. For example, Mondo was at the casting for Season 7 and ended up on Season 8.… A lot can happen in a year.

If your designs are destined for the catwalk and you're at least 21 years old, it's not too late to fill out an application here.

– Sophia Kercher

BVL cierra positiva y acumula dos alzas sucesivas dejando de lado preocupación por incertidumbre electoral

La Bolsa de Valores de Lima (BVL) presentó indicadores positivos al cierre de la sesión de hoy, acumulando dos alzas sucesivas, impulsada por el desempeño de los metales, y dejando de lado, al menos por el momento, las preocupaciones por la incertidumbre electoral.

El Indice General de la BVL, el más representativo de la bolsa local, subió 0.52 por ciento al pasar de 21,441 a 21,554 puntos.

El Indice Selectivo de la plaza bursátil limeña, que está conformado por las 15 acciones más negociadas en el mercado, avanzó 0.06 por ciento al pasar de 29,517 a 29,536 puntos.

El Indice Nacional de Capitalización (INCA), conformado por las 20 acciones más líquidas que cotizan en la BVL, se apreció 0.44 por ciento.

En la sesión de hoy el monto negociado en acciones se situó en 60.38 millones de nuevos soles en 1,495 operaciones de compra y venta.

Entre las principales acciones que presentaron una evolución positiva en la BVL destacan las de Universal Textil (9.09 por ciento), Raura (5.03 por ciento) y Río Alto (3.60 por ciento).

El analista de Kallpa Securities Sociedad Agente de Bolsa (SAB), Hernando Pastor, señaló que la BVL se vio especialmente favorecida por las acciones mineras y agrarias que subieron 0.78 y 0.96 por ciento, respectivamente.

El avance de los metales básicos y preciosos, como el oro, favoreció a la bolsa local y a otros mercados regionales, lo que fue acompañado, en alguna medida, de una menor preocupación por los problemas de deuda de Portugal, indicó a la agencia Andina.

Manifestó que al menos en estos últimos dos días los inversionistas locales han dejado de lado el temor a las elecciones generales del próximo domingo y están tomando algunas posiciones y apostando por activos que consideran atractivos.

"El oro estableció un nuevo nivel récord, por encima de los 1,460 dólares, ayudado por un dólar débil y el nerviosismo de algunos mercados respecto a la crisis de la deuda europea", anotó.

Sin embargo, no descartó que vuelvan a presentarse volatilidades y eventuales pérdidas en la BVL hasta que se defina la elección y los protagonistas de la segunda vuelta electoral.

Los mercados regionales cerraron mixtos, mientras que la Bolsa de Valores de Nueva York (NYSE) presentó indicadores favorables.

El índice industrial Dow Jones de la bolsa neoyorquina subió 0.27 por ciento, el indicador tecnológico Nasdaq y el índice Standard & Poor's avanzaron 0.31 y 0.22 por ciento, respectivamente.

BVL sube 1.24% por buen desempeño de acciones mineras e industriales

La Bolsa de Valores de Lima (BVL) presentó indicadores positivos al cierre de la sesión de hoy impulsada por el buen desempeño de las acciones de empresas mineras e industriales, principalmente.

El Indice General de la BVL, el más representativo de la bolsa local, subió hoy 1.24 por ciento al pasar de 21,179 a 21,441 puntos.

El Indice Selectivo de la plaza bursátil limeña, que está conformado por las 15 acciones más negociadas en el mercado, avanzó 1.83 por ciento al pasar de 28,987 a 29,517 puntos.

El Indice Nacional de Capitalización (INCA), conformado por las 20 acciones más líquidas que cotizan en la BVL, se apreció 1.52 por ciento.

En la sesión de hoy el monto negociado en acciones se situó en 46.77 millones de nuevos soles en 1,291 operaciones de compra y venta.

Entre las principales acciones que presentaron una evolución positiva en la BVL se encuentran Filamentos Industriales (15.22 por ciento), Cemento Andino (4.80 por ciento), Raura Inversión (3.86 por ciento) y BVN (3.77 por ciento).

El analista de NCF Sociedad Agente de Bolsa (SAB), Daniel Romero, señaló que la BVL se vio favorecida porque los inversionistas decidieron apostar por acciones que tengan una importante valoración en el largo plazo, tales como mineras e industriales.

"El alza en las acciones mineras se dio pese a que los precios de los metales en el exterior mostraron caídas luego que China decidió aplicar una política de subir tasas de interés, lo que asustó a los inversionistas en el exterior por la posibilidad de una menor demanda de metales básicos", declaró a la agencia Andina.

Manifestó que pese a ello las acciones mineras de la BVL lograron un crecimiento de 1.51 por ciento en la jornada de hoy, seguidas de las acciones del subsector junior con una expansión de 1.45 por ciento y las industriales con 1.35 por ciento.

"A esto se suma el anuncio que la BVL y las bolsas de Colombia y Chile ya firmaron un acuerdo para que el primer paso del Mercado Integrado Latinoamericano (MILA) se dé el 30 de mayo, eso dio bastante confianza a los inversionistas", añadió.

Dijo que para los próximos días se espera que la plaza bursátil peruana se comporte de manera cautelosa y, si bien se esperan jornadas al alza, es posible que el viernes se tengan cifras negativas por toma de ganancias de los inversionistas antes de las elecciones presidenciales.

Los mercados regionales cerraron positivos, mientras que la Bolsa de Valores de Nueva York (NYSE) cerró con indicadores mixtos.

El índice industrial Dow Jones de la bolsa neoyorquina bajó 0.05 por ciento, el indicador tecnológico Nasdaq avanzó 0.07 por ciento y el índice Standard & Poor's retrocedió 0.02 por ciento.

"La plaza bursátil local estuvo principalmente marcada por el tema político, ante la propagación de las últimas encuestas mostradas ayer", sostuvo a la agencia Andina.

Comentó que para esta semana se prevé un comportamiento volátil de la BVL, donde la mayor caída podría ser de hasta tres por ciento y la mayor alza no sobrepasaría el dos por ciento.

Los mercados regionales cerraron mixtos, al igual que la Bolsa de Valores de Nueva York (NYSE).

El índice industrial Dow Jones de la bolsa neoyorquina subió 0.19 por ciento, mientras que el indicador tecnológico Nasdaq retrocedió 0.01 por ciento y el índice Standard & Poor's avanzó 0.03 por ciento.

Fed Continues to Punish the Dollar, Blind to Inflation

At the last minute Friday night, the federal government dodged a bullet and avoided closing down. The market was flat last week, so it’s safe to say that the impending shutdown was not as scary to Wall Street as it was to those expecting their regular government services. Of course, nothing was solved for the long-term, and the U.S. dollar will continue to slide — based on Washington’s inability to control spending — while the U.S. economy has been humming along just fine, with or without federal government help. Dollar Sinks to the Bottom of the Currency Ladder The euro hit a 15-month high to the U.S. dollar last week after the European Central Bank (ECB) raised its key rate by 0.25% to 1.25%. The People’s Bank of China also raised its key rate last week, up 0.25% to 3.25%. Meanwhile the Fed continues to maintain its 0% interest rate policy and quantitative easing. The euro-zone is a mixed bag of good and bad news. On the positive side, Germany’s factory orders rose by 2.4% in February. That helped to strengthen the euro. On the other extreme, Portugal had to pay six-month interest rates of 5.11%, up from 2.98% just a month ago, so a bailout of Portugal (similar to the previous rescue plans in Greece and Ireland) may be necessary, pushing the euro-zone deeper into debt. So far this year, 18 developing economies have raised interest rates, but last week Australia, Britain and Japan decided to leave their interest rates alone. On Tuesday, Australia announced a surprising February trade deficit – due largely to Queensland’s devastating floods — so it is no surprise that Australia left its key rate unchanged at 4.75%. But the Bank of England surprised observers by leaving its key interest rate unchanged at 0.5%, despite the fact that inflation is now running at 4.4%, more than double it 2% target. Also, Japan’s central bank left its key rate at 0% in the wake of its devastating earthquake and tsunami. The global power shift now favors currencies with higher interest rates and rich deposits of high-priced natural resources, such as Australia and Brazil. Last week, the dollar lost 2.7% to the Brazilian real and 1.4% to the Australian dollar. Since last May, the U.S. dollar has fallen 23% to the Australian dollar and 16% to the Brazilian real, but last Wednesday, Brazil’s Finance Minister Guido Mantega proposed a series of currency controls, including an extension of a 6% tax to keep U.S. dollars out of Brazil, to slow the real’s appreciation. Mantega seemed outraged that rich countries like the United States are fighting a currency “war” to keep the dollar weak, causing a rush of capital into currencies throughout the developing world. From our perspective, a weak U.S. dollar is clearly stimulating U.S. economic growth and boosting corporate profits, especially in multi-national companies. That is the good news. The bad news is that most of the world’s commodities are priced in U.S. dollars, so commodity prices continue to rise as the U.S. dollar falls. However, the stock market is shrugging off this threat, since a weak U.S. dollar also boosts earnings of many companies with overseas operations, making stocks a great inflation hedge!

Prior to open session trading this morning, spot gold prices were trending in a negative direction. Spot gold per gram and spot gold per kilo were both trending in the red. This was the first negative trending observed for the precious metal in days. A less stable stock market, fueled last week by the looming threat of a government shutdown, helped to keep the safe haven appeal of gold high. The government shutdown has been temporarily averted and stocks got off to a more optimistic start this day. The more optimistic view of the approaching primary earning season helped to push stock futures green this morning and as of the mid day mark, the Dow Jones Industrials were posting positive by over .30 percent. The dollar was on the rise versus the euro and gold futures were dropping. Gold for June contract delivery was lower by .35 percent at 1469 at this point. By end of day close, the major market indicators finished mixed with the Dow Jones just over breakeven for the day. The Nasdaq and the S&P 500 both finished red. The precious metal tracking board was covered in mostly red today as gold and silver prices fell lower. June Gold finished the session lower by .41 percent at 1468.10 an ounce. Silver for May delivery ended just green by .01 percent at 40.61 a troy ounce. May copper finished red by .92 percent at 4.46 per pound. Author: Camilo Zucari

Your Morning Fashion and Beauty Report: Dolce & Gabbana appreciate Justin Bieber's style. Christian Louboutin doen't appreciate YSL's red soles.

Bieber handshake Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce were gushing over 17-year-old singing sensation Justin Bieber's sense of style at the party they threw for him at their restaurant, Gold, after his concert in Milan on Saturday night. ”It might be slightly premature to talk about a style icon, but it's impossible to deny that he's a model for his peers,” Dolce said. Of course, it doesn't hurt that Bieber often wears Dolce & Gabbana (at this year's Academy Awards and Golden Globes, for instance). [Telegraph]

Christian Louboutin filed a trademark infringement lawsuit in Manhattan federal court last week against Yves Saint Laurent America Inc., accusing YSL of stepping on its toes, so to speak, by selling shoes with red soles — the hallmark of a pricey Louboutin heel. The suit seeks to stop the sales and more than $1 million in damages. [Telegraph]

Laura Ashley plans to launch its first intimates collection. [WWD] (Subscription required.)    

There are certain beauty decisions you should always think through carefully instead of plunging right in. Tattoos and piercings, of course. But also hair color, brow shape and perfume, among others. [BellaSugar] 

Oscar de la Renta has rethought his original namesake fragrance, rejuvenating it for the modern woman. Esprit d'Oscar is a blend of Sicilian lemon, bergamot, citron, Egyptian jasmine, orange flower, tuberose, musk, heliotrope, tonka bean and vetiver. But it is less “powdery” — powder evoking the scent of a grandma! [StyleList]

Fix Your Eyes on Optical Fiber Stocks

Investors with an appetite for returns should consider getting a little more
fiber into their portfolios particularly shares of firms that sell optical
fiber networking equipment.  Optical components may sound about as tasty as a
bowl of dry bran flakes, but the potential upside is pretty sweet. Consider the
fact that three companies in the sector – Ciena (Nasdaq: CIEN ), JDS Uniphase
(Nasdaq: JDSU ) and Finisar (Nasdaq: FNSR ) have risen an average of 120% since
their 52-week lows last fall.  Three others, Oclaro (Nasdaq: OCLR ), Oplink
(Nasdaq: OPLK ) and Infinera (Nasdaq: INFN ) are up an average of 49% over last
year's lows. Seeing gold in these names may seem to be a bold boast –
particularly since these are the same companies whose share prices were kicked
in the teeth a month ago over trouble selling out their product inventories.
That forced Oclaro, Finisar and others to revise their quarterly revenue
estimates downward.  Pair that news with the fact optical networking gear sales
went nuts last year, and it makes sense why some investors may think these
stocks' run is done. But that move was, pardon the pun, short-sighted. 
Carriers need to buy more and more advanced fiber optic gear in order to
support aggressive data transmission requirements and the proliferation of 3G
wireless networks.  So even though their customers are sitting on a fair amount
of unused product now, these purchase delays are less about excess inventory and
more about customers waiting a tad longer to outfit their networks with the
hottest technology available. Here are a few factors that signal strong growth
potential for optical component firms:   Despite uncertainty in the short
term, the sector is well-positioned for strong growth between 2011 and 2015, a
new forecast from the research firm LightCounting says.    Since so-called
"passive" optical component sales grew at a higher rate than other
components last year, a new cycle of carrier network upgrades may be starting
now. The industry is bouncing back from the recession of 2008-09. Carrier demand
for optical fiber components will be driven by the need to link together
networks of networks – efficiently and cost-effectively. Carriers must have
these components in order to keep pace with the surge in data traffic over both
traditional and wireless networks. As broadband networks continue to grow bigger
and faster, carriers will have to upgrade their existing optical fiber
components.  Never underestimate the need for speed: sales of 40Gbps
(gigabit/second) components and modules have started this year strong; 100Gbps
optics likely will rise sharply by late 2011. Bottom Line: In today's
data-hungry culture, all the world's a network and all the carriers are
chasing bandwidth. Since optical fiber equipment makes massive amounts of data
traffic move quickly through both traditional and wireless networks, it's easy
to see why analysts see the market nearly doubling to $22.1 billion in 2014. As
of this writing, Susan J. Aluise did not hold a position in any of the stocks
mentioned here.
