Analysts have predicted that Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) Windows 7 will
dominate the PC market by the end of 2011. Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT)
To Continue Dominance According to Gartner analyst Annette Jump, the growth of
Windows 7 is steady and it is expected that the most recent Operating System
from Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) will have a market share of 42% by the
end of the year. However, the economic uncertainties in Western Europe,
political instability in selected Middle East and Africa (MEA) countries and the
economic slowdown in Japan after the earthquake and tsunami in March 2011 will
likely lead to slightly late and slow deployment for Windows 7 across those
regions,she added. Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT) shares were at 24.2 at the end
of the last days trading. Theres been a -0.4% change in the stock price over the
past 3 months. Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT) Analyst Advice Consensus Opinion:

past for clues as to direction. And they even tell us of probable future
resistance and support areas. Yesterday's commentators were all aghast over
the record of four consecutive days of over 400 points each for the Dow Jones
Industrial Average. And they attributed yesterday's recovery to all sorts of
phenomena: rumors of a short-sale ban in Europe, an upcoming meeting of the
leaders of France and Germany, corporate insider buying, etc. On Wednesday, I
discussed the huge blocks of stocks representing short sales that were purchased
at pre-programmed levels. This practice, called "high-velocity trading," is
what has accounted for the huge swings of the past four days accompanied by the

the last four days, with the others over 2.5 billion. Only computers programmed

Who would have expected gold to reach $1800 per ounce?
Just 1 year ago, people said it's crazy that #gold would breach the $1,000
mark. Well it did, and we all know it I am one of those who did not invest in
gold then. Even after it breached the $1,000, I was again, one of those
individual investors who thought gold was too expensive to invest in. Look at
where we are now – Gold is at $1,800 per ounce, and where would it all go? Is
sky the limit for gold? Sure looks that way. With the continuing debt crisis in
US and Europe, can gold reach $5,000 (or MORE?) as predicted by some analysts?
Here is one analyst from Casey research telling you why it's not too expensive
to buy gold now:
http://www.mining.com/2011/08/09/when-buying-gold-becomes-a-life-or-death-question-2/

KV.A, GMR, ODP and CIS See Falls
XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
tdp2664 E money daily Today there were four noticeable falls in the NYSE; K-V Pharmaceutical Company, General Maritime Corp, Office Depot, Inc and Camelot Information Systems Inc. After the sale of Nesher Pharmeceuticals to Zydus Pharmeceuticals, K-V suffered a predictable decline in share value, given that it has sold its packaging, lab, distribution and equipment arm, losing 22.99% of its value over the course of the 11th August. For those who pulled out before the sale was completed – whether they intend to reinvest if its 50-day low ends in the near future or have already sent the cash into work at Bullion Vault or on the FTSE or NASDAQ – some relief will be most evident. General Maritime has suffered a consistent decrease in value that totals a considerable 88.39% value decrease since late June, and seems to have fallen even further with its shares opening at $0.60 and closing at $0.46. Office Depot has been hit with a fall that, although smaller than General Maritime, seeing a decrease in share value of around 35.64% over the last fifty days, with shares opening at $2.96 and closing at $2.60. Camelot Information Systems lost $1.52 in share value over the course of the day, bringing them down 14.94%. There have been a considerable number of falls in recent years, obviously due in part to the recession, but many of these companies are also still making decisions unpopular with their shareholders in the current climate – an action which may not be very wise given the shareholder’s penchant to simply retract funds and invest elsewhere, which in the American economy of 2011 is the worst case scenario for any large company. Hopefully all four will recover, as K-V are still in contact with Zydus following the deal and seek to profit from that ongoing relationship.

XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
dow2664 The gold rush was on, at least it was earlier in the trading session today. Gold price per ounce rates moved in positive territory for some time today and even touched another intraday high. Gold set an intraday record by touching 1817.16 price per troy ounce. Ultimately however, stock index trends improved and gold prices dropped lower today. The major market index composites stabilized today and spent a majority of the trading session moving in positive territory. The better than expected results in overseas markets, specifically with Britain’s FTSE and France’s CAC, helped to spill over additional confidence to investors on Wall Street. This, paired with the positive data flowing from the Labor Department today as well as the positive earnings data, helped to motivate investors to move back into stocks. Just prior to close, the DJIA was higher by almost 400 points at 11,118.68. Less attention was paid to the safe havens like precious metal gold and silver. Both precious metals fell lower today. As close was finalizing in the U.S. this afternoon, gold contract for December delivery moved into the red by 1.84 percent at 1751.50 price per troy ounce. Silver contract for September delivery dropped lower by 1.67 percent at 38.67 price per troy ounce. Spot gold and spot silver moved lower at this point as well. Spot gold price per gram was lower by 1.30 at 55.97 and spot silver price per ounce was lower by .65 at 38.68. Camillo Zucari

3 Undervalued Stocks Ready to Run
XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
tdp2664 InvestorPlace One helpful way to find potentially undervalued opportunities is from the "Godfather" of value investing himself, Benjamin Graham. Graham created an equation to calculate the maximum fair value for a stock, referred to as the "Graham Number." Any stock trading at a significant discount to this number would appear undervalued. For this list, we focus on S&P 500 companies. We used the Graham Number to screen for potentially undervalued stocks among a universe of highly profitable S&P 500 stocks that beat the industry average in all of the following ratios: Gross margin Operating margin Pretax margin The current market downturn has made these stocks even more undervalued on a Graham Number basis. Want a closer look at these terms and why they're valuable tools in trading and investing? Let's review: Market Capitalization (Market Cap) Market capitalization, commonly referred to as market cap, is the total market value of a company's outstanding shares. It can be thought of as a measure of company's size. It can be calculated by multiplying the number of shares by the current price of the shares. Graham Number According to Benjamin Graham, a former mentor of Warren Buffett and the so-called "Godfather" of value investing, the Graham Number is the maximum price that a value investor should pay for a given stock. A stock whose share price is below the Graham Number is considered to be undervalued, or of good value. It is a calculation for the fair-value price of a stock based on its earnings per share (EPS) and most recent quarter's book value per share (the value of the company's assets divided by the number of shares). Graham Number = Square Root of (22.5) x (TTM EPS) x (Most Recent Quarter (MRQ) Book Value per Share). We use
Even with Higher Margin Requirements, Gold Still Glitters
XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
tdp2664 InvestorPlace The crazy flux in the equity markets has caused many traders to run for the golden hills. Wednesday's 520-point drop in the Dow helped push gold prices to a record $1,817.60 an ounce in overnight trade, and apparently, that was enough for the Chicago Mercantile Exchange to throw a golden blanket on the cost of yellow metal contracts. On Thursday, the CME upped the ante for buying gold futures contracts, and that move prompted Thursday's selloff in the precious metal, which fell to $1,759 an ounce. The CME raised margin requirements on the amount it costs to buy a 100-ounce gold futures contract, so now it will cost $7,425 to buy a contract and $5,500 to maintain that contract. That's a 22.2% increase in the cost of going for the gold. The move by the CME comes after an incredible rise in the price of gold price – an increase of more than $200 in just over three weeks. Apparently, the more volatile the commodity, the more it's going to cost you. Of course, a move to increase margin on a volatile metal contract is nothing new for the CME. In fact, the exchange took the same kind of step in May when the price of silver went parabolic. What has some gold bugs worried here is that right after the CME raised the cost of silver contracts, the metal's value plunged some 30%. Still, I think the increase in margin requirements shouldn't dissuade those with a penchant for gold from buying into the yellow metal. Gold is in the midst of a surge, not only because the equity markets now are in correction mode, but also because the precious metal represents the ultimate safe haven in times of economic turmoil. One thing for certain right now is that fiscal turmoil in Europe and in the U.S. is the order of the day, and until that turmoil subsides there's still a golden opportunity for traders in the yellow metal—even if it costs 22.2% more.

dow2664 The stock market roller coaster rolls on today. The DJIA, Nasdaq and S&P 500 are all posting values in the green as session close approaches. The stock market tends today started off choppy as futures moved from red to green to red again based on continued volatility in overseas eurozone markets. Stocks in Europe ended their respective trading session higher though. Britain’s FTSE moved higher 3.1 percent and France’s CAC posted close values in the green by 2.2 percent for the day. This positive action is helping to boost up stock market indices in the United States. Economic news posting today is helping to boost investor confidence as well. Weekly jobless claims dropped lower last week to 395,000 according to the Labor Department stats that posted today. The data revealed a 7,000 drop from the previous week’s numbers which was a pleasant surprise as it was better than what most economists were predicting. The dollar was dropping lower today to the euro, British pound and the Japanese yen. Oil price per barrel was on the rise and gold futures were dropping. Just prior to closing bell for the day, all three primary index composites in the U.S. were posting green. The Dow Jones was green by 3.64 percent at 11,110. The Nasdaq was higher by 4.15 percent at 2,480 and the S&P 500 was higher by 4.10 percent at 1,167. The Labor market data paired with positive earnings data helped to raise index composites this day.

a predictable decline in share value, given that it has sold its packaging, lab,

the 11th August. For those who pulled out before the sale was completed whether

The gold rush was on, at least it was earlier in the trading session today.
Gold price per ounce rates moved in positive territory for some time today and
even touched another intraday high. Gold set an intraday record by touching
1817.16 price per troy ounce. Ultimately however, stock index trends improved
and gold prices dropped lower today. The major market index composites
stabilized today and spent a majority of the trading session moving in positive
territory. The better than expected results in overseas markets, specifically
with Britains FTSE and Frances CAC, helped to spill over additional confidence
to investors on Wall Street. This, paired with the positive data flowing from
the Labor Department today as well as the positive earnings data, helped to
motivate investors to move back into stocks. Just prior to close, the DJIA was
higher by almost 400 points at 11,118.68. Less attention was paid to the safe
havens like precious metal gold and silver. Both precious metals fell lower
today. As close was finalizing in the U.S. this afternoon, gold contract for
December delivery moved into the red by 1.84 percent at 1751.50 price per troy
ounce. Silver contract for September delivery dropped lower by 1.67 percent at
38.67 price per troy ounce. Spot gold and spot silver moved lower at this point
as well. Spot gold price per gram was lower by 1.30 at 55.97 and spot silver
price per ounce was lower by .65 at 38.68. Camillo Zucari

XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
dow2664 Gold prices touched above the 1800 price per ounce mark during the last trading session in the U.S. Contract silver finished higher as well as investors moved away from riskier stock options and positioned more with the safe haven metals. The safe haven interest of gold and silver continues to attract attention as the volatility in the market place plays out. The DJIA dropped over 600 points Monday, rebounded Tuesday and then dropped over 500 more points yesterday. The Dow Jones dropped back 520 points yesterday to close out at 10,720. The Nasdaq lost 101 points to close out at 2,381 and the S&P 500 fell back by 52 points and finished at 1,121. Gold futures bumped higher on the day. Investors are positioning with what most perceive as a safe haven hedge against the volatility of stocks. There are no signs that the choppy action and lower trends for stocks will conclude soon and thus gold is expected to be a favorite commodity for Wall Street investors. Contract gold closed last session higher by 2.37 percent or 41.30 to 1785 per troy ouncer and contract silver for September delivery moved higher by 3.81 percent or 1.44 at 39.33 per troy ounce.

Lower Your Risk Wtih Tobacco, Utilities and Brazillian Beer Stocks
XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
tdp2664 InvestorPlace It was another rollercoaster day for the markets yesterday. The dead-cat bounce we saw Tuesday morning was replaced by renewed fears on Wednesday. With all the volatility, investors remain understandably concerned about what will happen next. So what is the next step? At this point, cashing out may seem like the best option. But I’m here to tell you that’s the last thing you want to do. Without a doubt, the market has hit a rough patch, but that doesn’t mean it is time to pack up and get out of Dodge. The trick to getting the most out of your investment capital is knowing the best type of positions to invest in for any given situation. In this shaky market environment, smart investors will flock to stocks that offer stability. If you’re looking for positions that will offer added security and great long-term investment potential to your portfolio, then dividend stocks are the way to go. These positions offer investors regular dividend payments and a level of security other investments can’t match. Usually every quarter, companies will take their excess earnings and use them to pay investors a percentage of their stock’s market value. This added incentive makes dividend stocks great long-term picks. Here’s a look at the three high-yield dividend stocks that are great buys right now: Reynolds American Inc. (NYSE: RAI ) is the second-largest tobacco manufacturer in the United States. RAI was created from the merger of R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Holdings and Brown & Williamson. R.J. Reynolds was facing increasing competition and needed to cut its operating costs, so it convinced Brown & Williamson, then the third-largest tobacco producer, to agree to a merger. Reynolds American’s RJR Tobacco unit boasts 5 of the 10 best-selling brands of cigarettes in the U.S., namely Camel, Kool, Pall Mall, Doral and Winston. One of the reasons that makes this stock so attractive is its impressive 5.5% dividend yield. The company pays a quarterly dividend of $2.12 to investors. Reynolds is a solid company with strong fundamentals that won’t be slowing down anytime soon. CPFL Energia S.A. (ADR) (NYSE: CPL ) is a rapidly expanding Latin American utilities company. The company is one of the largest electricity providers in Brazil. CPFL distributes electricity to approximately 6.4 million customers throughout 570 communities, primarily in the states of Sao Paulo and Rio Grande do Sul. The company boasts a nice 4.4% yield. Investors enjoy a $1.27 quarterly payoff. Brazil remains one of the hottest emerging markets in the world. The country and the entire Latin American region will continue to enjoy some of the fastest-growing economies. As a result companies like CPFL Energia is going to keep growing and the stock’s dividend yield expand along with it. Finally, we have another big-ticket Brazilian company. Companhia de Bebidas das Americas (NYSE: ABV ), better known as AmBev, dominates the Brazilian beer market with brands such as Antarctica, Brahma and Skol. Additionally, the company sells Pepsi brands, Lipton iced tea and other beverages that include mineral water and sports drinks. Along with Brazil, AmBev sells its products in some 13 other countries. Brazil, in particular, is bursting at the seams with ripe investment opportunities as the economy rapidly expands and more money flows into the country. AmBev is one company benefiting from the Brazilian boom and is sharing the wealth with its investors. ABV offers a 4.7% yield and pays shareholders $1.47 per share owned. These three companies are exactly the type of stocks you want to be in the current market conditions. Dividend stocks offer the exact type of stability you need to make it through these tough times and come out on top. So be sure to snatch up some shares of these great stocks while prices are low and there are tremendous gains to be made when trading volumes rebound.

Gold and silver prices; Gold price per ounce silver price per ounce spot gold per gram spot silver per ounce Prices; DJIA Close
Gold prices touched above the 1800 price per ounce mark during the last trading
session in the U.S. Contract silver finished higher as well as investors moved
away from riskier stock options and positioned more with the safe haven metals.
The safe haven interest of gold and silver continues to attract attention as the
volatility in the market place plays out. The DJIA dropped over 600 points
Monday, rebounded Tuesday and then dropped over 500 more points yesterday. The
Dow Jones dropped back 520 points yesterday to close out at 10,720. The Nasdaq
lost 101 points to close out at 2,381 and the S&P 500 fell back by 52 points and
finished at 1,121. Gold futures bumped higher on the day. Investors are
positioning with what most perceive as a safe haven hedge against the volatility
of stocks. There are no signs that the choppy action and lower trends for stocks
will conclude soon and thus gold is expected to be a favorite commodity for Wall
Street investors. Contract gold closed last session higher by 2.37 percent or
41.30 to 1785 per troy ouncer and contract silver for September delivery moved
higher by 3.81 percent or 1.44 at 39.33 per troy ounce. Spot gold price per gram
moved higher by 1.57 percent at 57.51 and spot silver price per ounce moved
higher by 1.18 at 39.06. Camillo Zucari

How to Trade Fear and Uncertainty
XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
tdp2664 InvestorPlace We are experiencing three events that have fed each other, and this interaction has turned each event into a crisis. And while each crisis is contributing to uncertainty and sharp market declines in their own way, they have one thing in common: They are underpinning fear and uncertainty. Europe: The European debt crisis is going to last a long time, but daily changes in the European bond markets and daily conclusions by analysts who can do second-grade math understand that Europe does isn't undergoing a liquidity crisis that is manageable, but rather a solvency crisis that is not. Europe's crisis has made a three-fold contribution to the market selloff – headlines on political decisiveness triggering selling, margin calls on bondholders triggering selling, and math that says this is going to last a long time, keeping buyers out of the market. The U.S. Debt Crisis: The political theater leading up to the fake debt crisis solution now on the table led to the downgrade of U.S. debt by S&P, and this, in turn, served as a trigger for the market's big selloff. The decline itself may accelerate the ultimately fruitless discussion about fixing the deficit and debt issue and that will lead (maybe) to automatic spending cuts and the messiest presidential election in memory. So Uncle Sam's politicians have contributed three things to the crisis: the short-term trigger of the debt downgrade; six months of uncertainty with a messy political debate; and a year or more, depending on who wins, of more uncertainty about fiscal and tax policy. The Double-Dip Recession: I have been predicting a double dip since I thought the official end of the last recession was only on paper. We are essentially in one now — forget the statistics that will be revised anyway. Roughly one in four Americans would work or would work more if there was a job available. At the current rate of defaults and foreclosures, it will take another five or six years to clear the housing mess, stabilize prices and kick off a material increase in home building. Fiscal stimulus is ending and we are entering a period of contraction at all levels of government. And the growing certainty about a double dip is keeping many investors out of the market — and chasing others away at the same time, as they're uncertain about the impact of a slowdown on corporate profits and market multiples. What do these three crises have in common? Where do they intersect? Fear and uncertainty – and that is the trade of the day, the week, the month, the quarter and perhaps all of 2012. How to play uncertainty and fear You do it the old-fashioned way – precious metals. I am in gold, silver and cash. Oh, and the gold miners. The ETFs here are SPDR Gold Shares (NYSE: GLD ), the iShares Silver Trust (NYSE: SLV ), and the Market Vectors Gold Miners (NYSE: GDX ). I have been recommending this for subscribers for a long time. And there are two ways to play it. If you want to protect capital – always my priority – and want consistent returns, either buy the ETFs and sell covered calls or sell puts. If you want to speculate, you buy those calls. I do both – I have pots of capital for each focus, monthly cash and income or speculation. When does this trade end? The inflation adjusted previous high for gold is roughly $2.400 – a 30% increase from here. The miners will follow as will silver. If these numbers don't do it for you, ask yourself the question: Does the next week, month quarter and year look more or less uncertain than the past week, month quarter or year? The answer says it all.
