tdp2664 InvestorPlace Just this week, Apple, Inc . (NASDAQ: AAPL ) passed up Exxon Mobil (NYSE: XOM ) as the world's largest corporation. That is incredible for a company that sells cell phones, computers and fancy walkmans. The company's recent earnings — just like all the others — blew away estimates, and AAPL stock surged beyond $400 per share. However, with the recent calamities in the global markets and their impact on U.S. stocks, not to mention the U.S. debt downgrade by Standard & Poor's, AAPL shares have taken a pretty good hit. But something that has gotten little publicity is the fact that the company is now signed up with China Mobile (NYSE: CHL ) to sell the iPhone to China Mobile's 600+ million subscribers. That is a ton of people, not to mention the fact that 600 million is about twice the size of the United States population in general, and having access to this client base could be one of those catalysts that send the stock to upwards of $500 within the year.

Just this week, Apple, Inc . (NASDAQ: AAPL ) passed up Exxon Mobil (NYSE: XOM )
as the world's largest corporation. That is incredible for a company that
sells cell phones, computers and fancy walkmans. The company's recent earnings
just like all the others blew away estimates, and AAPL stock surged beyond
$400 per share. However, with the recent calamities in the global markets and
their impact on U.S. stocks, not to mention the U.S. debt downgrade by Standard

gotten little publicity is the fact that the company is now signed up with China
Mobile (NYSE: CHL ) to sell the iPhone to China Mobile's 600+ million
subscribers. That is a ton of people, not to mention the fact that 600 million
is about twice the size of the United States population in general, and having

to upwards of $500 within the year. Youll see in the chart below that AAPL has

XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
dow2664 Gold and silver prices dropped lower during the last trading session. A big rally on Wall Street helped stocks rebound with some significance and this attracted attention away from gold and silver safe haven investments. The boosts of confidence in the marketplace yesterday were contagious and stock index trends climbed up the ladder at a steady and consistent pace. The Dow Jones surged over 400 points to close out the last trading session. Gold and silver sold off but gold hit an intraday high yesterday before falling back. Gold prices moved as high as 1817.60 an ounce but prices ultimately settled lower Thursday. Gold contract for December delivery moved lower by 1.84 percent or 32.80 to close at 1751.50 per troy ounce. Silver contract for September delivery moved lower by 1.67 percent or .65 to close out at 38.67 per troy ounce. After session close but prior to today’s opening bell, spot gold per gram was trending green by .54 at 56.77 and spot silver per ounce was green by .12 at 38.78. Gold and silver are likely to hold onto some safe haven appeal as the week closes out. The DJIA moved dramatically up and down this week and thus uncertainty still plagues many investors. Safe havens are likely the direction they will turn when volatility resumes. Camillo Zucari

Among Biotechs, Cubist Has Held its Own During Recent Downturn
XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
tdp2664 InvestorPlace Wall Street's recent roller-coaster ride has made it clear to investors that not all biotechnology companies are created equal. The share prices of most of the firms that have products, sales and earnings have suffered far less than its industry counterparts who still are betting on the come. One of the former that has held its ground remarkably well, relatively speaking, is Lexington, Mass.-based Cubist Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CBST ). While the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index has retreated by more than 20% in the past month, Cubist is down only about 12%. With a nearly $2 billion market cap, Cubist still sells for a hefty P/E of 43 based on trailing earnings, so investors thinking about buying the stock on the dip might want to factor that into their evaluation. The big question facing the company is whether it can ever return to its glory days of yesteryear. That occurred in early 2000 when Cubist shares nearly hit $66, more than twice what the stock trades for these days. If the company and its investors are going to ever again enjoy those salad days, Cubist is going to have to become more than a one-trick pony. The company has been riding its core drug Cubicin since 2003, when it created a buzz by becoming one of the first really new antibiotics to hit the market in years. It also had a very different mechanism of action than the standard therapies. To this day, Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY ) probably regrets giving up on the drug and selling it to Cubist. Cubicin clearly is the company's workhorse. During the second quarter of the year, sales of the drug accounted for almost all the company's revenue. Sales of the product in the U.S. climbed 9% to more than $168 million; internationally, they rose 17% to nearly $8 million. The company had other positive developments during the quarter. For one, Cubist entered into a two-year agreement with

-0.002 or 0.0% Picture this: markets plunging and rising 4 to 5% a day. Friends,
take it from me, the people who make the market simply cannot trade under those
circumstances. That turmoil eats you alive. More evidence a panic is on: I heard
today that Swiss 20 francs in Europe are bringing E20 (US$28) over melt per coin
and Rooster French 20 francs are bringing E25 (US$35). That's 8.5% and 10.7%
respectively. Report says the French are pulling money out of banks on suspicion
that after Greece, Portugal, Ireland, Spain, and Italy comes France, and soon.
Those are huge premiums considering at wholesale in the US they've been about
US$5. STOCKS today found a friend. My o my. Dow rose 423.37 points (3.95%) to
11,143.31 and S&P500 followed with a 4.63% (51.88 point) rise to 1,172.64 Put
that into perspective: Dow in Gold Dollars remains at G$131.72 (7.33 oz). No
hope for stocks against silver or gold. Stocks -- the empty bucket at a raging
fire. US DOLLAR INDEX flatlined today, closed 74.614, down 2.2 basis points.
Euro rose 0.46% to 1.4238, meaningless on the chart. Nipponese NGM not yet
successful in bringing down the Yen. Their tricks are like using plastic bullets
Godzilla. The Gold Price passed an inscrutable day. High at $1,794.90, low at
$1,732. Appeared to break today around $1,760, dropped to $1,750, then briefly
to $1,740 and climbed straight back up. Shook the whole incident off and now is
trading at $1,764.10. Comex lost $32.50 to close at $1,748.80, but increasingly
the real world and Comex have little in common. After Comex closed GOLD climbed
over $1,760. Is Comex really relevant, or just useful to those who paint the
tape? Yes, today MIGHT have been the break in gold at a top, but then again,
maybe not -- certainly not if driven by panic in Europe. Key will be tomorrow's
close, which must not be lower than today's. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you
sell gold or be short gold. The Silver Price lost 66.9c at the Comex close of
3865.6c. Range was 3939c to 3868c. Wide swings are killing me -- silver will be
okay and not crash if it can remain above 3700c. Bounced off its 20 DMA today,
coming up from beneath. Indicators calling for lower silver. Now if I were a
CLEVER Nice Government Man (no, not a complete oxymoron, since they can print
enough money to hire real talent) instead of spending so much trying to crash
gold, I would just suppress silver to pull the heart out of gold investors. Hang
on to your silver. Nothing is clear here, and it is for times that lack clarity
that we own silver and gold. This much is clear: central banks have not stopped
inflating, and must now speed up inflating, so our silver and gold will keep on
climbing relentlessly. On 11 August 1860 the first successful silver mill in
American began operating, in Virginia City, Nevada. The Comstock Lode there was
discovered in 1859, and as memory serves me it produced over a billion oz. of
silver. What most people don't know is that the value of gold produced over the
whole life of the mines was about equal to the value of the silver from the
Comstock. Adjusted for inflation, production at peak in 1877 alone was about
$270 million in gold and $400 million in silver. It wasn't new silver supply
that drove the price of silver down after 1873, it was politics and the Crime of
'73, demonetizing silver. Argentum et aurum comparenda sunt -- -- Gold and
silver must be bought. - Franklin Sanders, The Moneychanger The-MoneyChanger.com

Among Biotechs, Cubist Has Held its Own During Recent Downturn
Wall Street's recent roller-coaster ride has made it clear to investors that
not all biotechnology companies are created equal. The share prices of most of
the firms that have products, sales and earnings have suffered far less than its
industry counterparts who still are betting on the come. One of the former that
has held its ground remarkably well, relatively speaking, is Lexington,
Mass.-based Cubist Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CBST ). While the Nasdaq
Biotechnology Index has retreated by more than 20% in the past month, Cubist is
down only about 12%. With a nearly $2 billion market cap, Cubist still sells for
a hefty P/E of 43 based on trailing earnings, so investors thinking about buying
the stock on the dip might want to factor that into their evaluation. The big
question facing the company is whether it can ever return to its glory days of
yesteryear. That occurred in early 2000 when Cubist shares nearly hit $66, more
than twice what the stock trades for these days. If the company and its
investors are going to ever again enjoy those salad days, Cubist is going to
have to become more than a one-trick pony. The company has been riding its core
drug Cubicin since 2003, when it created a buzz by becoming one of the first
really new antibiotics to hit the market in years. It also had a very different
mechanism of action than the standard therapies. To this day, Eli Lilly (NYSE:
LLY ) probably regrets giving up on the drug and selling it to Cubist. Cubicin
clearly is the company's workhorse. During the second quarter of the year,
sales of the drug accounted for almost all the company's revenue. Sales of the
product in the U.S. climbed 9% to more than $168 million; internationally, they
rose 17% to nearly $8 million. The company had other positive developments
during the quarter. For one, Cubist entered into a two-year agreement with

Gold Silver prices todays gold price per ounce silver price per ounce Spot gold gram spot silver prices; DJIA Index DJX Close Review
Gold and silver prices dropped lower during the last trading session. A big
rally on Wall Street helped stocks rebound with some significance and this
attracted attention away from gold and silver safe haven investments. The boosts
of confidence in the marketplace yesterday were contagious and stock index
trends climbed up the ladder at a steady and consistent pace. The Dow Jones
surged over 400 points to close out the last trading session. Gold and silver
sold off but gold hit an intraday high yesterday before falling back. Gold
prices moved as high as 1817.60 an ounce but prices ultimately settled lower
Thursday. Gold contract for December delivery moved lower by 1.84 percent or
32.80 to close at 1751.50 per troy ounce. Silver contract for September delivery
moved lower by 1.67 percent or .65 to close out at 38.67 per troy ounce. After
session close but prior to todays opening bell, spot gold per gram was trending
green by .54 at 56.77 and spot silver per ounce was green by .12 at 38.78. Gold
and silver are likely to hold onto some safe haven appeal as the week closes
out. The DJIA moved dramatically up and down this week and thus uncertainty
still plagues many investors. Safe havens are likely the direction they will
turn when volatility resumes. Camillo Zucari

EBAY MSN Money Stock Quotes E Bay DJIA Index DJX DJI Close Future Data Review
It has been an up and down week for stocks and the primary stock indices in the
United States. Yesterday, after futures swung back and forth prior to opening
bell, trends stabilized and moved with general consistency towards higher
ground. The Labor department reported better then expected news when it posted
the data for weekly jobless claims. The claims dropped lower from the previous
weeks numbers by 7,000. This news was well received and helped the pendulum
swing into the green once again this week. Stock trends have been choppy, to say
the least, this week. All three indices opened the week lower, the Dow losing
over 600 points opening day this week. A rebound hit Tuesday and then losses
across the board Wednesday. Wednesdays correction then led to more consistent
gains on Thursday. Now, this morning, futures are positioned for a flat open.
Fears are still brewing on Wall Street and investors are worried that a double
dip might be in store. The volatile trends are affecting individual stock shares
as well. Pre-market trading reveals that EBAY stock is posting lower according
to MSN money analysis. EBAY Inc stock is currently posting lower by .63 percent
at 30.01. Previous close for Ebay was 30.20. Frank Matto

Who would have expected gold to reach $1800 per ounce?
XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
min2664 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/ Personally, I don't think so…but then I am the cautious investor who didn't invest in gold when I should… So I will leave it to the experts – We are convening some of these key experts and gold mining companies at #CommoditiesWeekAsia and # AsiaMiningCongress this coming March. Do join us at the conferences to meet with these people face to face!

dow2664 This video, created by The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, puts a humorous spin on a true but terrible story about a couple who received a foreclosure notice from a major bank, even though they didn’t have a mortgage with the bank. As a matter of fact, they paid cash for the house. They got help from a rookie lawyer who had only been practicing for eight months, sued the bank, and won, and showed up at a branch office to take assets (Furniture, computers, etc.) in order to satisfy their claim against the bank.

DJIA Dow Jones Index DJX DJI Stock Market Today Finance Investing Close Review Todays Stock Market Overview
XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
dow2664 The stock market pendulum swung back to the positive side of breakeven last session. The major U.S. composites rebounded again as the DJIA, Nasdaq and S&P 500 closed out the last session in the green. The Dow Jones finished higher by 3.9 percent at 11,143.31. The Nasdaq closed out higher by 111.63 points to finish at 2,493 and the S&P 500 closed out higher by over 4.6 percent at 1,172. European stocks moved higher last session and this positive action carried over to help support stock index trends in the U.S. In addition, positive earnings data on the day paired with better than expected numbers from the Labor Department helped to boost investors’ confidence. According to the data from the Labor Department, weekly jobless claims dropped lower by 7,000 from the previous week. This helped to steady investor’s hands and pushed index trends higher at a more consistent pace. The positive consistency was contagious and by day’s end, the Dow had surged higher by over 400 points. Investors on Wall Street hope to see this positive action carry over into today’s trading session. On the docket for the day will be the consumer sentiment reading as well as the July retail sales data. JC Penney will release earnings data this day as well. Frank Matto

tdp2664 InvestorPlace Technical analysis doesn’t tell us everything about the future movements of the market. But, like tracks in the snow, technicians' charts graphically show the history of price movements and provide the ability to study and interpret the 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 highest volume of the year. Yesterday's 1.88 billion shares was the lowest of the last four days, with the others over 2.5 billion. Only computers programmed to automatically execute thousands of trades in minutes can account for such volume. This was confirmed by Dick Grasso, former NYSE chief, who yesterday said that less than 10% of NYSE volume came from the public. Note that two of the last four days closed
