Its a testament to how well-made Amazon s (NASDAQ: AMZN ) flagship website is
that it barely has changed during the past decade. It has been built upon, of
course. In the past two years alone, Amazon.com has grown to incorporate
cloud-based music service Cloud Player, and Amazon Prime has brought streaming
video to the site . There have been cosmetic upgrades, security updates and
improvements to once-revolutionary features like product recommendations. But
despite those many shifts, Amazon.com looks and operates very similarly today as
it did in 2001. This fall, though, Amazon finally will change. And while change
is necessary, the company is taking a real risk in altering its main stage.
According to a Monday report in The Wall Street Journal , Amazon is deep in the
testing process of a new version of its Web home that will bring the stores
design in line with more contemporary design. The text-heavy and dense layout of
current Amazon pages, littered with tiny print and links to other parts of the
site, will be replaced by a more open design with more white space, a larger
search window for finding products, and revamped shopping cart and wishlist
tools. While theres no specific opening date for the new Amazon yet, it will
come this fall as the company introduces new features and changes gradually. The
cosmetic shift is a welcome one, but its secondary to the redesigns true
purpose: rebuilding Amazon for the tablet age. The new layout is intended to
make all of Amazons services from buying shampoo to reading e-books through the
Kindle store easier to access on a 7- to 10-inch touchscreen. Now that Amazon
is preparing to take on Apple s (NASDAQ: AAPL ) iPad with a tablet of its own ,
its more important than ever that the companys retail operation is the best
around. That is precisely why it is so risky for Amazon to redesign its website
this fall. Amazon might be a $94 billion company with more than 30,000 employees
and a stellar customer service record, but it still could be doing too much at
once. Its a given that almost all technology releases are hampered with glitches
and mistakes new websites crash under the strain of too much traffic, new
services suffer unforeseen errors. Even if it is only incorporating one new
feature at a time, rather than introducing a full-featured overhaul all at once,
Amazon could experience gaps in time when customers orders are completed. Access
to paid services like the aforementioned Amazon Prime and Cloud Player could go
down, resulting in frustrated customers. Amazon is no stranger to technical
troubles. The companys Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) service and Relation Database
Service suffered performance issues at Amazons data centers in April. Beyond the
technical jargon, that meant other websites and business like Reddit and
Foursquare that use Amazons hosting services were offline for a significant
period of time. The incident didnt affect Amazons website or retail operation,
but it demonstrates that even a company as big and reliable as Amazon isnt safe
from the inherent failings of technology. Amazon has a lot going for it heading
into the holiday season and 2012. It has spent heavily throughout the year to
expand and develop new services. At a rumored $250, Amazons Google (NASDAQ: GOOG
) Android-powered tablet is priced perfectly to take on Apples iPad. But the
companys retail business and its smooth operation is more important than any of
its other initiatives. Change is good, but Amazon needs to tread carefully. As

With Bartz Fired, Only a Buyout Can Save Yahoo Now
Yahoo Inc . (NASDAQ: YHOO ) hired Carol Bartz in early 2009 to right the
struggling media giant. The hard-charging Bartz moved quickly, upending the
Yahoo org chart, imposing a near-secretive culture on the Silicon Valley company
and slashing 675 jobs or 5% of staffers on top of the 1,600 laid off the year
before she took the helm. The result? Yahoo is no better off than when Bartz
took over. Yahoo stock traded at $12.10 on January 13, 2009, when Bartz took
over. As of yesterday's close (before Wall Street cheered the CEO's firing
and bid up shares), YHOO was at $12.91 for a nearly 6% loss. The Dow is up about
23% by contrast in the same period. Revenue has also seen a slow decline
year-over-year from fiscal 2009 to 2010, with another projected slide for this
year too. Not surprisingly, Carol Bartz is out despite a year left on her
contract. But now the question on everyone's mind now is, "Can anyone save
Yahoo?" It is admittedly a difficult task. Yahoo stock had briefly traded for
over $40 a share in 2005 and by 2008 had slumped into single digits as low as $9
a share. That would have been bad enough, had YHOO not spurned what now appears
to be the deal of the century – a $31-per-share buyout offer from Microsoft
(NASDAQ: MSFT ), based on pre-Lehman Brothers valuations, that would have
totaled $44.6 billion. Related Article:

puking in wastebaskets. No matter how carefully you scope out the market, in the
end all currencies are wholly manipulated, and when any government finds its
currency with its toe in the wringer, it will throw a "Surprise Party." Surprise
parties are often thrown after the close on Fridays, to catch as many incapable
to act as possible. And when they throw a surprise party, you might be trapped,
and watched your carefully planned trade turn into a massive loss that threatens
to take not only all your money but also some of your internal organs. Witness
the Swiss Franc today. Switzerland's economy exports heavily to Europe, but the
Swiss Franc has been (until recent years) far better managed than any other
currency, so all the Eurolanders fleeing the Euro have been swapping Euros for
Swiss Francs, driving the Franc up against the Euro, raising the price of all
Swiss exports, and sending Swiss industry into a non-competitive swoon. Thus the
Swiss National Bank announced today that it would henceforth sell as many francs
as necessary to keep the franc at 1.20 euros. Swiss franc dropped 7% on that
news. That's a puke in the wastebasket fall, which for the owners of futures
contracts on Swiss francs would pretty much clean out their bank accounts and
theirlife expectations for the next couple of centuries. Now let us ponder what
the Swiss did to the rest of the currencies. First the Franken-currency, the
euro. Been warning y'all to watch those gaps, because they're just like
rattlesnakes, they travel in pairs. Friday the euro gapped down below its 50 and
20 day moving averages, traded lower today, then gapped down AGAIN today. Closed
at 1.3995, down a gargantuan 1.4% today. Nor was the sky clear on the other side
of the globe. Japanese yen closed down 0.72% at 128.79c/Y100 (Y77.645/$). Now
has the look of a rounding top that had done rounded, and needs only a close
below 128.73 and the 50 dma (now 127.90) to launch into free-fall. The US DOLLAR
profited largely from the Swiss Franc's demise. Yesterday and Friday the US
dollar index had pushed to the top of the narrow short term range (74.75), and
today simply exploded to 76, slicing clean through resistance at 75.40 that has
imprisoned it since mid July. Dollar has now left far behind its 20 and 50 dmas
(74.27 and 74.52) and nearly reached its 200 dma (76.29). I've been warning
y'all a dollar rally is coming. Dollar needs only close above that 200dma and
then thru the last (July) intraday high at 76.72 to scatter the minions of
Dollar-doubt and rally a long while. Dollar index today closed 75.909, up 120
bps from Friday. STOCKS are now bare tiny points from breaking out downside from
their uptrend line established since 8 August. Against the backdrop of trading
since July, that promises to unfold as a very strong and painful plunge, with
weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth. Dow hit a low today at 10,932.53, but
recovered enough to close at 11,139.30, down only 100.96 points (0.9%). S&P500
lost 8.73 (0.74% to close 1,165.24. Mercy, if any of y'all are standing in the
way of this steamroller by virtue of owning stocks, you might ought to sell
them. Stocks must now fall enough to terrorize Ben Bernancubus, which won't be
much farther. The Philadelphia bank stock index, BKX, gapped down the last two
days and is fixin to make a new low. So is the Dow in Gold Dollars, today
closing at G$123.15 (5.957 oz). Once the Bernancubus gets scared, he'll start
pumping out the money till the banks burst. Stocks -- they are the giant suction
hose sucking money out of Main Street and depositing it on Wall Street. Reckon
that makes them the suckers and us the suckees, or is that th'other way round?
The US dollar rally did not hurt the GOLD PRICE as badly as one might expect.
Overnight in Europe it hit $1,920 and dropped all that gain to close today on
Comex at $1,869.90, down $3.80 from Friday's close. Still, that looks like first
half of a key reversal, breaking into new high territory then closing lower.
Needs a lower close tomorrow to confirm that. Forming a floor and support under
gold are the 20 and 50 dmas ($1,811.72 and $1,675.80). Gold's overnight high
sufficed to form a double top with the August high, but time has to make that
clear. Stands to reason gold would have to hit that $1,920 ceiling twice to
break through, and back off a little on the 2nd try. Long as the GOLD PRICE
holds $1840 its mind is still set on higher things. My suspicious mind, which
remembers that the heads of the big central banks or their lackeys all meet once
a month at the Bank for International Settlements in Basel for supper, suspects
that the Swiss National Bank did nothing before informing the rest of its
criminal network of central bankers. Methinks the Bernancubus would welcome such
a move, since it might be calculated to wound gold and momentarily (at least)
boost the dollar. Remember, the time horizon of central bankers and Nice
Government Men is -- five o'clock. They only have to keep the system from
blowing up TODAY. If they reach 5:00 without a blowup, they've succeeded.
Schizophrenic SILVER took a much bigger hit today than gold. The SILVER PRICE
yesterday climbed over 4300c, and remember Friday rose 153.8c. High today was
4323c, but when the Swiss wound their watch, bottom dropped out of silver all
the way to 4150c. Comex closed near the bottom at 4181.8c, down 120.2c. That's
the first half of a key reversal, but don't open a vein just yet. 20 DMA, first
tripwire of a decline, stands at 4086c. 200 dma lies at 3528c. However, the
uptrend from the May low remains intact;, whole, and unbroken. Twill stay that
way as long as the SILVER PRICE floats above 4000c. Watch tomorrow to see if the
SILVER PRICE will post the second half of that key reversal. Watch 4100c as
well. Today's drop scared GOLD and SILVER dealers so much they raced to sell US
90% and the buy side premium dropped to 170c below spot. Never been a better
buy. Also, I have neglected to notice that as SILVER has climbed, US pre-1936
silver dollars have lost their premium, and fallen to about 3% over melt at
retail. Rather than buy those rotten, overpriced silver American Eagles, buy US
silver dollars. They are sticky to the downside, that is, if the bottom drops
out of silver, they tend to stay about the same place, so there's a little less
risk buying them. And I'd rather have silver dollars than silver American Eagles
any day. Something happened last week I can't quite make up my mind to tell
y'all about yet, but it leaves me thinking that the time may be drawing nigh --
or may have arrived -- when you want to trim down all bank deposits to an
absolute minimum and keep unused cash balances in silver or gold. Banking system
is UTTERLY corrupt, and will steal from you before you can say, "Deposit slip."
For them a "deposit slip" happens when they slip up and let you get your money
out of their bank. Listen: I try hard to look on the sunny side and look for the
best outcome, but there just ain't one with banks, any more than there is with
fever blisters. It's about time for y'all to take the money and run, before they
take it from you. Our Bodacious Hoedown was an unqualified success on Saturday.
We had an old time band and a dance caller named Tee Claw with a magnificent
neckbeard, first I've ever seen. Nobody turned up his nose at the food and
everybody danced till their feet like to have fallen off. On the grass. Under
the stars. Thanks to y'all who honored us with your attendance. Argentum et

theirlife expectations for the next couple of centuries. Now let us ponder what
the Swiss did to the rest of the currencies. First the Franken-currency, the
euro. Been warning y'all to watch those gaps, because they're just like
rattlesnakes, they travel in pairs. Friday the euro gapped down below its 50 and
20 day moving averages, traded lower today, then gapped down AGAIN today. Closed
at 1.3995, down a gargantuan 1.4% today. Nor was the sky clear on the other side
of the globe. Japanese yen closed down 0.72% at 128.79c/Y100 (Y77.645/$). Now
has the look of a rounding top that had done rounded, and needs only a close
below 128.73 and the 50 dma (now 127.90) to launch into free-fall. The US DOLLAR
profited largely from the Swiss Franc's demise. Yesterday and Friday the US
dollar index had pushed to the top of the narrow short term range (74.75), and
today simply exploded to 76, slicing clean through resistance at 75.40 that has
imprisoned it since mid July. Dollar has now left far behind its 20 and 50 dmas
(74.27 and 74.52) and nearly reached its 200 dma (76.29). I've been warning
y'all a dollar rally is coming. Dollar needs only close above that 200dma and
then thru the last (July) intraday high at 76.72 to scatter the minions of
Dollar-doubt and rally a long while. Dollar index today closed 75.909, up 120
bps from Friday. STOCKS are now bare tiny points from breaking out downside from
their uptrend line established since 8 August. Against the backdrop of trading
since July, that promises to unfold as a very strong and painful plunge, with
weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth. Dow hit a low today at 10,932.53, but
recovered enough to close at 11,139.30, down only 100.96 points (0.9%). S&P500
lost 8.73 (0.74% to close 1,165.24. Mercy, if any of y'all are standing in the
way of this steamroller by virtue of owning stocks, you might ought to sell
them. Stocks must now fall enough to terrorize Ben Bernancubus, which won't be
much farther. The Philadelphia bank stock index, BKX, gapped down the last two
days and is fixin to make a new low. So is the Dow in Gold Dollars, today
closing at G$123.15 (5.957 oz). Once the Bernancubus gets scared, he'll start
pumping out the money till the banks burst. Stocks -- they are the giant suction
hose sucking money out of Main Street and depositing it on Wall Street. Reckon
that makes them the suckers and us the suckees, or is that th'other way round?
The US dollar rally did not hurt the GOLD PRICE as badly as one might expect.
Overnight in Europe it hit $1,920 and dropped all that gain to close today on
Comex at $1,869.90, down $3.80 from Friday's close. Still, that looks like first
half of a key reversal, breaking into new high territory then closing lower.
Needs a lower close tomorrow to confirm that. Forming a floor and support under
gold are the 20 and 50 dmas ($1,811.72 and $1,675.80). Gold's overnight high
sufficed to form a double top with the August high, but time has to make that
clear. Stands to reason gold would have to hit that $1,920 ceiling twice to
break through, and back off a little on the 2nd try. Long as the GOLD PRICE
holds $1840 its mind is still set on higher things. My suspicious mind, which
remembers that the heads of the big central banks or their lackeys all meet once
a month at the Bank for International Settlements in Basel for supper, suspects
that the Swiss National Bank did nothing before informing the rest of its
criminal network of central bankers. Methinks the Bernancubus would welcome such
a move, since it might be calculated to wound gold and momentarily (at least)
boost the dollar. Remember, the time horizon of central bankers and Nice
Government Men is -- five o'clock. They only have to keep the system from
blowing up TODAY. If they reach 5:00 without a blowup, they've succeeded.
Schizophrenic SILVER took a much bigger hit today than gold. The SILVER PRICE
yesterday climbed over 4300c, and remember Friday rose 153.8c. High today was
4323c, but when the Swiss wound their watch, bottom dropped out of silver all
the way to 4150c. Comex closed near the bottom at 4181.8c, down 120.2c. That's
the first half of a key reversal, but don't open a vein just yet. 20 DMA, first
tripwire of a decline, stands at 4086c. 200 dma lies at 3528c. However, the
uptrend from the May low remains intact;, whole, and unbroken. Twill stay that
way as long as the SILVER PRICE floats above 4000c. Watch tomorrow to see if the
SILVER PRICE will post the second half of that key reversal. Watch 4100c as
well. Today's drop scared GOLD and SILVER dealers so much they raced to sell US
90% and the buy side premium dropped to 170c below spot. Never been a better
buy. Also, I have neglected to notice that as SILVER has climbed, US pre-1936
silver dollars have lost their premium, and fallen to about 3% over melt at
retail. Rather than buy those rotten, overpriced silver American Eagles, buy US
silver dollars. They are sticky to the downside, that is, if the bottom drops
out of silver, they tend to stay about the same place, so there's a little less
risk buying them. And I'd rather have silver dollars than silver American Eagles
any day. Something happened last week I can't quite make up my mind to tell
y'all about yet, but it leaves me thinking that the time may be drawing nigh --
or may have arrived -- when you want to trim down all bank deposits to an
absolute minimum and keep unused cash balances in silver or gold. Banking system
is UTTERLY corrupt, and will steal from you before you can say, "Deposit slip."
For them a "deposit slip" happens when they slip up and let you get your money
out of their bank. Listen: I try hard to look on the sunny side and look for the
best outcome, but there just ain't one with banks, any more than there is with
fever blisters. It's about time for y'all to take the money and run, before they
take it from you. Our Bodacious Hoedown was an unqualified success on Saturday.
We had an old time band and a dance caller named Tee Claw with a magnificent
neckbeard, first I've ever seen. Nobody turned up his nose at the food and
everybody danced till their feet like to have fallen off. On the grass. Under
the stars. Thanks to y'all who honored us with your attendance. Argentum et

XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
dow2664 Most anticipated a rough start to the abbreviated trading week in the U.S. The stock market ended last week on a negative note with the weaker than expected jobs data that posted. Debt crisis concerns in eurozone markets also plaged the global marketplace today. Stock futures this morning set up for the lower open and trending was negative for the majority of the session today in the U.S. Indices plummeted upon opening bell this morning but since then, they have slowly climbed higher. Initial trends were most likely continued ramifications pertaining to the weaker than expected jobs data that posted on Friday. Noteworthy economic posts today have been a better. The Institute for Supply Management services report posted better than expected at a reading of 53.3 in August. This reading was an upswing from the previous month and above the benchmark of 50 that most economists see as positive. As close finalized today, the primary indices were higher but still trending in the red. The Dow Jones Average was still negative by 1.36 percent at 11,087.53. The Nasdaq was still red by .88 percent at 2,462 and the S&P 500 was still red by 1.12 percent at 1,161. Frank Matto

Stop $3.25. 10:44am EST Bought 2k AOL at $14.52, might ditch 1k to be safe and buy it back tomorrow. Goal $2 per share. 12:35pm EST Covered GLUU at $3.14 for $144 profit, nothing great but still falling here. 1:58pm EST Bought 9k EMBA at $.61 on ask. Seems to be holding up here, small position see if i can get a nice win. 2:46pm EST Sold EMBA up here for a solid an quick 10-15% profit. Congrats guys!
An Easy Play On EMBA
XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
tdp2664 Penny Stock Live Fantastic!!! Alerted today at $.61 in chat, text and email EMBA was just another solid score for my subscribers and I. In and out for a quick 21% into the close it doesn’t get much better than that. Last week I tried to short EMBA but never found an entry I liked, even after paying a hefty fee to my broker to reserve my shares. So heading into this week I had moved EMBA from my short list to my buy list, just because it hasn’t been fallling apart. Usually if a crap stock like this isn’t falling apart, it could mean a round of promotion is coming up down the road. Right out of the gate I suspected eMamba International Corp. (EMBA) was going up based on the chart action so I grabbed a small position just to be safe, 9k shares at $.61 and alerted my subscribers. Sure enough, EMBA just kept on moving up the chart as volume spiked into the close. Up about 15% I was forced to cash my shares in and happy to hear the guys in chat made easy money on this one too. Will it gap and run come Wednesday, possibly, but I’m not the type of trader to hold these plays overnight once I’m up 10% anyway so I’ll rest comfortable with about $600 plus in profits. Add that to a successful GLUU short alert today and I’d say we’re off to a good start this week, wouldn’t you?

XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
dow2664 Precious metal gold and silver finished out last week’s closing trading session in the green. Economic data posting last Friday was weaker than expected and thus investors moved towards safe haven assets. Today, stock futures set up for the negative open, and upon opening bell, the primary stock indices fell off significantly. The drop off was perceived by most to be the continued aftermath of the weak jobs data. In addition to this, investors continue to worry about eurozone markets and the debt crisis playing out in Greece. Stocks composites stayed red. As the end of day finalized, the primary stock indices were still negative. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was lower by just over 100 points at 11,136. Gold hit an intraday record earlier in the trading session at 1923.70 per troy ounce but had dropped lower as close finalized. Gold contract was lower by .19 percent at 1873.30 per troy ounce. Silver contract was lower by 2.79 percent at 41.87 per troy ounce. Spot gold and spot silver were mixed. Spot gold per gram was higher by .13 at 60.37 and spot silver per ounce was higher by .85 at 42.17 at this point. Camillo Zucari

Rigged 401(k) Plans Exclude Gold
People with 401(k) plans have been sold a great investment tale. This tale
includes long-term growth, investment diversification and a source of retirement
income that will keep 401(k) owners smiling just like the happy people in the
marketing brochure. The only thing people need to do is sock away as much money
as humanly possible into their 401(k) plan, and great riches will follow. But is
it true? The Diversification Farce Most 401(k) plans purport to offer a
diversified menu of investment choices that complies with the U.S. governments
Employee Retirement Income Security Act. Some of these 401(k) investment choices
may include U.S. stocks, small-cap stocks, international stocks, emerging
markets, bonds, money market and probably even a few target dated retirement
funds. The claim is made that a portfolio of stocks, bonds and cash offers
adequate diversification. But missing from your 401(k) mix are other notable
asset classes like gold (NYSE: GLD ), silver (NYSE: SLV ), precious metals
(NYSE: GLTR ), commodities (NYSE: GSG ) and global real estate (NYSE: RWO ). How
can a 401(k) menu make the false claim that its diversified if it lacks coverage
to all major asset classes not just stocks, bonds and cash? Regardless of these
petty atrocities, ERISAs distorted diversification standard is good enough. So
long as 401(k) providers comply with ERISA, they can make the technical claim
they offer a diversified investment menu to 401(k) participants. Why Does it
Matter? An estimated 72 million people have 401(k) plans or something similar
with an aggregated sum of $3 trillion, according to the U.S. Department of
Labor. Now more than ever, 401(k) investors need to have a complete set of
investment choices to combat instability in government and the global economy.
And a straight portfolio of stocks, bonds and cash wont cut it. The only product
structures that accommodate asset classes like physical bullion and commodities
are exchange-traded funds. But since the 401(k) industry has a bias against ETFs
in favor of mutual funds, they refuse to give their 401(k) customers a complete
investment solution. Instead, they favor the status quo. A recent study by the
U.S. Government Accountability Office proves this. It showed how the 401(k) and
mutual fund industry has spent much of its efforts not on issues to improve
401(k) plans, but on fee splits with business partners, marketing and defending
their bureaucracy. A GAO study revealed that revenue sharing, whereby a mutual
fund company shares its fee income with the 401(k) plans administrator, is a
common practice. The actual compensation can range from 0.05% to 1.25%. Why is
it a problem? Because it creates a hidden incentive for the 401(k) service
provider to recommend investment choices with higher fees, some of which may
even include funds with substandard performance. In this slimy environment, how
could a precious metals ETF that offers no hidden B-52 fees or other subversive
fee payments ever make it onto a 401(k) menu?

Dell Teams With Baidu to Take on Chinese Consumer Market
The mobile market shuffle continues. Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) is extending its
reach into every corner of the world, selling the iPad and iPhone to every man,
woman, child and business-savvy dog on the planet at the same time as it is
suing every company with a similar device to block them from getting to market.
Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ ) is ducking out of the mobile business entirely one
minute, then hopping back in as fickle consumers flock to its moribund but cheap
TouchPad tablet. Research in Motion (NASDAQ: RIMM ) is clinging to life as its
share of the U.S. market sinks, Google (NASDAQ: GOOG ) bought Motorola (NYSE:
MMI ) as a defensive maneuver, and the world is wondering just when Nokia (NYSE:
NOK ) and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT ) are going to show their collaborative hand.
Its scary out there. Rough seas, stormy skies, you name it. But while the rest
of the industry rages against Apple and the gang in Cupertino, Calif., whips
them back in response, Dell (NASDAQ: DELL ) has struck out on a new venture that
might make it a very real force in the mobile device market. A Tuesday report in
Reuters said the computer company has entered into an agreement to develop both
smartphones and tablets for Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU ), the search and Web services
company so often called Chinas Google. While Dell has increasingly distanced
itself from the U.S. consumer market it dominated last decade, its now poised to
take on a market thats 900 million consumers strong and growing. Baidu is,
unsurprisingly, pulling a Google by developing its own mobile operating system
in the Android mold. The platform, Baidu Yi, sports its very own app store and
other amenities that Apples iOS devices and Googles Android have made standard
issue in the mobile market during the past three years. Dell in turn is making
new devices specifically for Baidu Yi, including a redesigned version of its
Streak 5, the 5-inch tablet device that just recently was discontinued in the
U.S. Dell wont be the only manufacturer making Baidu Yi devices, but it will be
a flagship of sorts, much in the way that Motorolas Droid line of devices were
for Google when Android first was released. The strength of Baidus brand in
China cant be underestimated. The company controls an 80% share of the countrys
search market. Yet some analysts arent convinced this will be enough to help
either Baidu or Dell in the Chinese market. Technology consultancy RedTech
Advisors managing director Michael Clendenin said, Ultimately in China, (its)
Apples game, still for the iPad and iPhone. Apples numbers are hard to argue.
Its revenue in the region has skyrocketed in recent months, totaling $3.8
billion in the second quarter of 2011, six times that of the same period in
2010. Baidu and Dell also will be taking on Lenovo (PINK: LNVGY ), whose primary
business comes from China, totaling $2.8 billion last quarter. The smartphone
and tablet market in China is comparatively uncrowded, though. And provided it
can undercut Apple on price, Dell stands a great chance of making a place for
itself in the country. This partnership with Baidu might give Dell precisely
what it needs to secure a stronger place in the connected device market than
competitors like Nokia, Google and RIM. As of this writing, Anthony John Agnello
did not own a position in any of the stocks named here. Follow him on Twitter

Todays gold price per ounce silver price per ounce; spot gold per gram spot silver prices; Dow Jones Market Close Review
Precious metal gold and silver finished out last weeks closing trading session
in the green. Economic data posting last Friday was weaker than expected and
thus investors moved towards safe haven assets. Today, stock futures set up for
the negative open, and upon opening bell, the primary stock indices fell off
significantly. The drop off was perceived by most to be the continued aftermath
of the weak jobs data. In addition to this, investors continue to worry about
eurozone markets and the debt crisis playing out in Greece. Stocks composites
stayed red. As the end of day finalized, the primary stock indices were still
negative. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was lower by just over 100 points at
11,136. Gold hit an intraday record earlier in the trading session at 1923.70
per troy ounce but had dropped lower as close finalized. Gold contract was lower
by .19 percent at 1873.30 per troy ounce. Silver contract was lower by 2.79
percent at 41.87 per troy ounce. Spot gold and spot silver were mixed. Spot gold
per gram was higher by .13 at 60.37 and spot silver per ounce was higher by .85
at 42.17 at this point. Camillo Zucari

Tuesday Apple Rumors: Free Fox Download — For a Limited Time
XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
tdp2664 InvestorPlace Here are your Apple news items and rumors for Tuesday: Free Fox Shows on iTunes: News Corp. ( NASDAQ : NWS ) is unpredictable when it comes to the digital availability of Fox television programming. One second, it’s restricting access to its content on Hulu , and the next it’s giving shows away for free before they’ve even aired on television. According to a Tuesday report at All Things Digital , Fox is giving away a free download of the first episode of The New Girl , a new sitcom starring Zooey Deschanel. The show will be available through Apple ‘s ( NASDAQ : AAPL ) iTunes as well as Hulu and Fox’s homepage until Sept. 28 when the show premieres on regular television. After that, the free downloads will expire and new episodes won’t be available online until eight days after their air date. It’s a strong promotion, but News Corp. is underestimating just how short its audience’s attention span is. Offering something instant and free to the customer and then making them wait for more is a guaranteed way to invite the audience to find entertainment elsewhere. iPhone 4 Keeps it Real Ahead of iPhone 5: If the rumors are true, the iPhone 5 might hit stores in just one month. Big product releases, especially from Apple, are usually preceded by a slow down in purchasing of older products. The iPhone is bucking that trend, according to T. Michael Walkley, an analyst with Canaccord Genuity. In a Tuesday note to investors (via Apple Insider ), Walkley said that even with two new models of iPhone coming out this fall, the iPhone 4 still is the leading smartphone in sales with both Verizon (NYSE: VZ ) and AT&T (NYSE: T ). Not only that, but the entry-level iPhone 3GS, a model now two years old, remains the second-best-selling device with AT&T. Ultrabooks on the Down Low: Intel ( NASDAQ : INTC ) and its numerous manufacturing partners are hoping to give the portable PC market a jolt with its new ultra-light, ultra-slim Ultrabook laptops. A Tuesday report at DigiTimes (via TUAW ) said the MacBook Air’s popularity might be limiting a number of Ultrabook debuts . Just 50,000 Ultrabook models from Lenovo, Asustek, Acer and Toshiba will ship this fall. Apple, meanwhile, is expected to ship around 15 million MacBook Air laptops by the end of the year.

slow down in purchasing of older products. The iPhone is bucking that trend,
according to T. Michael Walkley, an analyst with Canaccord Genuity. In a Tuesday
note to investors (via Apple Insider ), Walkley said that even with two new
models of iPhone coming out this fall, the iPhone 4 still is the leading
smartphone in sales with both Verizon (NYSE: VZ ) and AT&T (NYSE: T ). Not only
that, but the entry-level iPhone 3GS, a model now two years old, remains the
second-best-selling device with AT&T. Ultrabooks on the Down Low: Intel (NASDAQ:
INTC ) and its numerous manufacturing partners are hoping to give the portable
PC market a jolt with its new ultra-light, ultra-slim Ultrabook laptops. A
Tuesday report at DigiTimes (via TUAW ) said the MacBook Airs popularity might
be limiting a number of Ultrabook debuts . Just 50,000 Ultrabook models from
Lenovo, Asustek, Acer and Toshiba will ship this fall. Apple, meanwhile, is
expected to ship around 15 million MacBook Air laptops by the end of the year.

Dunkin’ Brands Too Sweet for Goldman
When a company has an IPO, it must abide by a variety of arcane securities
regulations. One of the most common is the "quiet period." Basically, a
company cannot talk up its prospects. In fact, the quiet period also applies to
the Wall Street underwriters. They cannot disclose their research until 45 days
after the offering. So, as should be no surprise, investors actually trade on
these windows. After all, it is common for the analyst research reports to be
upbeat. Just take a look at Dunkin Brands (NASDAQ: DNKN ). This week, Robert W.
Baird put an "outperform" rating on the stock as well as a price target of
$33. As for JPMorgan (NYSE: JPM ), it has an "overweight" rating and a price
target of $30. Keep in mind that Dunkin' currently is trading at $26. So there
is some upside, right? Not necessarily. Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS ) is not as
sanguine on Dunkin'. Actually, the firm placed a "sell" rating on the
stock, with a price target of $23. This certainly is a gutsy call. No doubt,
IPOs are a lucrative business for Wall Street firms. So why anger a client?
Thus, it is important to take note of Goldman's call. It should be a warning
to investors. Now, Goldman still thinks Dunkin' is a solid company with decent
growth prospects. Yet the fact is it is selling at a valuation higher than
rivals like Yum! Brands (NYSE: YUM ) and McDonalds (NYSE: MCD ). Consider that
Dunkin' is selling at a premium to even Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX ). For the
most part, it is not uncommon for brand-name IPOs to sell at frothy valuations.
Short-term traders usually generate lots of enthusiasm. Then again, there
usually is a small amount of shares on the market, which makes it easier to move
the stock price. But over time, the float will expand, and yes, there will be
more downside pressure. So unless Dunkin' can accelerate growth which seems
unlikely the stock could be vulnerable at current levels. Tom Taulli is the

Todays Dow Jones Average DJIA Index DJX DJI, NAsdaq, S&P 500 Stock Market News Mid-Day Review Today
Prior to opening bell this morning, stock futures were set for the lower open.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average futures were red by just over 1 percent and the
Nasdaq and S&P 500 futures were posting even lower. Investors on Wall Street
prepared to open the week by continuing to experience the fall out from last
Fridays negative jobs data. In addition to the pressure stemming from the
negatively skewed jobs data, the market will also feel the weight of the
eurozone crisis relating to sovereign debt problems and stability of banks in
Europe. European shares dropped off again today as investors worry that the debt
problems may affect other eurozone nations besides Greece. As trading reached
the mid-day mark in the U.S., the primary indices were still trending in the
red. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was lower by 1.91 percent at 11,041 at
this point. The Nasdaq was lower by 1.56 percent at 2,442 and the S&P 500 was
red by 1.73 percent at 1,154. The ISM report today posted and was a relative
bright spot. The Institute for Supply Managements services report notched higher
over Julys reading. The August reading posted at 53.3 which was better than
expected. The dollar dropped to the euro today and gold prices are still
trending in the green. Frank Matto

Gold Price Per Ounce Today; Spot gold price per gram; Spot silver price per ounce Mid-Day News
Various stock market pressures should continue to help push precious metal gold
prices in a positive direction. Gold and silver contracts closed out the last
trading session in the U.S. green as investors began to position less with
riskier stock options and more with safe havens. Stocks ended in the red last
week and the negative ramifications pertaining to the weaker than expected jobs
data will continue to plague the stock market today. In addition, the recent
sell off in Europe due to sovereign debt worries will also overflow into the
U.S. trading session today. Global investors are now worried that the debt
crisis in Greece will overflow and negatively affect other larger nations
nearby. Safe havens like gold will climb higher as investors on Wall Street
further ponder the potential for another recession here in the U.S. As the
trading session reached the mid-day mark, the primary stock indices in the U.S.
were all posting red. The Dow Jones was lower at this point by 215 points at
11,025.21. Contract gold for December delivery was still green at this pint by
1.60 percent at 1907 per troy ounce. Spot gold and spot silver were posting red
at this point however. Spot gold price per gram was red by .10 at 60.14 and spot
silver price per ounce was red by 1.19 at 41.83. Camillo Zucari

Mixed Review for Consumers in August
After all the fireworks in the beginning of the month, August ended with a bit
of a whimper on the one hand, but a bang on the other. I loved the headlines
that spewed forth just minutes after the markets closed Thursday night: U.S.
stocks rise to close turbulent month, followed by, Major indexes drop for fourth
straight month, as well as, Stocks gain, end worst month since flash crash. Oh,
and S&P posts best eight-day gain since 2009. Wow! I just didnt have that
eight-day record in my head, did you? Of course, Thursdays 1%-plus decline for
the major market averages put an end to that. The ups and downs of the headlines
mimic the way the markets were moving in August as we had to contend with the
debt-ceiling debate (or food fight), the S&P credit downgrade, a monster week of
volatile market declines followed by a pretty good recovery, and daily
volatility that saw the Dow swing from high to low and back by 2% or more on all
but six of the months 23 trading days. Before August, wed had only three such
2%-plus days in the first seven months of the year. Heck, on Aug. 9, the Dow
went swinging more than 6%, or more than 662 points! Consumer confidence (not
surprisingly) stinks but, as I have said before, watch what consumers do, not
what the surveys say they say theyre doing. For one thing, theyre spending
money, apparently. We also learned that Dillards (NYSE: DDS ) and Ross Stores
(NASDAQ: ROST ) same-store sales were up 4% in August. Target s (NYSE: TGT )
were up 4.1%. Macys (NYSE: M ) were up 5%. Limited s (NYSE: LTD ) were up 11%.
Gap (NYSE: GPS ), on the other hand, was down 6%. But in general, retail sales
were strong in August. Who knew? Economic and market action provided further
grist for the mill of a constantly churning Wall Street. The retailers numbers I
just cited had the market in a tizzy, and when the ISM manufacturing number came
in lower in August but higher than anticipated, the stock market went tearing
higher until, once again, cooler heads began to take a look at the innards of
the report. Despite a slight rebound in activity at the end of August,
manufacturing, which has led this recovery, is not currently in great shape. The
markets ratcheted down after that bit of rationalization came to the forefront.
So, where are we? Fed chief Ben Bernanke gave no clues or even hopes for further
Fed action that might be thought of as QE3 or even QE2.5 when he last spoke. And
while the data on incomes and spending in July looked good, we still have more
data to come on what happened during the past month. Unemployment remains a big
problem, and its going to be the next big battleground as weve seen already just
in the scheduling of next weeks presidential address to Congress on that topic.
Its worth noting that the White House announced Thursday that it estimates
unemployment will go down a wee bit by years end to 8.8% and then to 8.2% by the
end of 2012. Thats hardly low, but it might simply be a case of the White House
setting low expectations that it can then beat, much the way companies now seem
to chronically underestimate future earnings.

6 Top Stocks to Sell in September
A Rough Month Ahead for Investors September is traditionally the worst month of
the year for stocks. And its first two days of trading, in which the S&P 500
fell 3.77%, seem to reinforce that belief. As we enter September, there have
been few positive changes in the U.S. and European economic and political
arenas, and the same old technical problems seem to haunt the bulls. The market
has turned down from the enormous resistance formed over a seven-month period
with a bearish daily reversal from the Dow Jones Industrial Average, and the S&P
500 is in the process of forming what appears to be a bearish flag. Dow Theory
has confirmed a bear market, and all of the major indices have flashed a death
cross. Despite the potential for near-term rallies, stocks show few signs of
technical strength, and the overall trend is down. So any up days should be
treated as opportunities to unload poor performers or enter short positions.

Death Crosses Flashed; Bear Market Confirmed
XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
tdp2664 InvestorPlace The month of September is traditionally the worst month of the year for stocks. But in just two days, the market fell 3.77%, marking this September as its worst start since 1974, according to The Wall Street Journal . The recent behavior of the market is in stark contrast with accepted trading theories that assume that the market has an upside bias at the end of each month and the beginning of a new month due to inflows of large deposits from IRA and 401(k) plans. But as Sy Harding of StreetSmartPost points out, this theory holds water only in bull markets and is "not reliable in serious corrections and disappears altogether in bear markets." The recent trigger for the selling, of course, was Friday's jobs report that showed no jobs created in the month of August, with June and July reports revised lower. The August unemployment rate was reported as 9.1%, unchanged from July. The technical position of the market prior to the jobs report was weak. The neckline break at 1,260 led to a sell-off that dropped the S&P 500 back to the top of last summer's trading range at 1,100. All of August was spent in a rebound and consolidation that now appears to be a bear market flag with its low at 1,100 and high at Thursday's reversal point at 1,230. Flags usually point in the opposite direction of their final break. In other words, upward pointing flags like this one usually break lower. Initial support for a lower break would likely result in a fall to last summer's trading range at 1,040 to 1,100. As we enter September, there have been few positive changes in the economic and political arenas of Europe and America, and the same old technical problems seem to haunt the bulls: The market has turned down from the enormous resistance formed over a seven-month period with a bearish daily reversal from the Dow Jones Industrial Average, and the S&P 500 is in the process of forming what appears to be bearish flag. And as previously noted, the Dow Theory has confirmed a bear market, all major indices have flashed a death cross.

dow2664 Gold and silver contract price per ounce rates closed out the last trading session in the green. Investors began to position more with the precious metal safe havens last week as the primary indices closed out in the red once again. Not only did stock indices close red on Friday, but the primary stock indices in the U.S. finished red once again for the week overall. Investor anxieties were already boiling higher and then the jobs data posted Friday. Jobs created in August were far below what many economists were expecting. This, paired with the continued rate of national unemployment above 9 percent, initiated a stock sell off last Friday. The negative ramifications should continue to play out in the marketplace as trading on Tuesday progresses. Ramifications were already felt in the global market session yesterday, and the signs were not positive. Data points towards continued struggles for stocks. Futures set up for the lower open this morning and thus investor interest in safe havens will push higher if trends stay negative. Gold ended the last trading session in the U.S. on a positive note as it closed higher by 2.61 percent at 1876.90 per troy ounce. Prior to opening bell this morning, spot gold was still pushing into the green. Spot gold price per gram was green by .81 at 61.05. Camillo Zucari

tdp2664 Penny Stock Live Stock futures down! So we’ll be short biased on trades today and finish by picking up some bargains for Wednesday’s probable bounce. Long STMicroelectronics (STM) which is a global leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications with innovative semiconductor solutions. Gap down this morning with futures expected, no real concern here as shares will trade similar to the SPY. My immediate goal is to take $3 per share long term, maybe more depending on how the market and STM play out. Added 7.5k EVGI to lower my average which is now $.80. This was a trade gone wrong based on a flawed trade alert from a NL I subscribe. Rumor of stock promotion coming which is what I’ll need to make this one work at this point. $.80 isn’t a bad average but I’m not thrilled about hold 15k shares on such light volume. Speculation can be very rewarding but it can also hurt you, it’s yet to be determined how this bet will unfold. Also speculating on AAGC at $.82. Up $242 on this trade I’m looking for a few thousand as always before cashing out.

Gold and silver contract price per ounce rates closed out the last trading
session in the green. Investors began to position more with the precious metal
safe havens last week as the primary indices closed out in the red once again.
Not only did stock indices close red on Friday, but the primary stock indices in
the U.S. finished red once again for the week overall. Investor anxieties were
already boiling higher and then the jobs data posted Friday. Jobs created in
August were far below what many economists were expecting. This, paired with the
continued rate of national unemployment above 9 percent, initiated a stock sell
off last Friday. The negative ramifications should continue to play out in the
marketplace as trading on Tuesday progresses. Ramifications were already felt in
the global market session yesterday, and the signs were not positive. Data
points towards continued struggles for stocks. Futures set up for the lower open
this morning and thus investor interest in safe havens will push higher if
trends stay negative. Gold ended the last trading session in the U.S. on a
positive note as it closed higher by 2.61 percent at 1876.90 per troy ounce.
Prior to opening bell this morning, spot gold was still pushing into the green.

Death Crosses Flashed; Bear Market Confirmed
The month of September is traditionally the worst month of the year for stocks.
But in just two days, the market fell 3.77%, marking this September as its worst
start since 1974, according to The Wall Street Journal . The recent behavior of
the market is in stark contrast with accepted trading theories that assume that
the market has an upside bias at the end of each month and the beginning of a
new month due to inflows of large deposits from IRA and 401(k) plans. But as Sy
Harding of StreetSmartPost points out, this theory holds water only in bull
markets and is "not reliable in serious corrections and disappears altogether
in bear markets." The recent trigger for the selling, of course, was
Friday's jobs report that showed no jobs created in the month of August, with
June and July reports revised lower. The August unemployment rate was reported
as 9.1%, unchanged from July. The technical position of the market prior to the
jobs report was weak. The neckline break at 1,260 led to a sell-off that dropped
the S&P 500 back to the top of last summer's trading range at 1,100. All of
August was spent in a rebound and consolidation that now appears to be a bear
market flag with its low at 1,100 and high at Thursday's reversal point at
1,230. Flags usually point in the opposite direction of their final break. In
other words, upward pointing flags like this one usually break lower. Initial
support for a lower break would likely result in a fall to last summer's
trading range at 1,040 to 1,100. As we enter September, there have been few
positive changes in the economic and political arenas of Europe and America, and
the same old technical problems seem to haunt the bulls: The market has turned
down from the enormous resistance formed over a seven-month period with a
bearish daily reversal from the Dow Jones Industrial Average, and the S&P 500 is
in the process of forming what appears to be bearish flag. And as previously
noted, the Dow Theory has confirmed a bear market, all major indices have
flashed a death cross.

Gold and silver prices ended the week with sharp gains; during yesterday they
have also increased as major stock markets in Asia and Europe were traded down.
Due to the long weekend in the US (Labor Day) there were no trading yesterday
there, but there are expectations that there will be falls in US stock markets
as there were yesterday in other stock markets. If this trend will continue
today it will likely to provide backwind for gold and silver price to further
rise. There are reports of growing demand in India and China for gold. Today,
the US non-ISM manufacturing PMI report will be published; bank of Japan will
decide its rate and publish a monetary policy statement; Australian GDP for Q2
2011 will also be published, and finally Reserve Bank of Australia will decide
on its cash rate.

Investor anxieties are about to boil over as the shortened trading week
prepares to open in the U.S. today. Negative sentiment will carry through the
weekend as the primary stock indices in the U.S. finished last trading session
red across the board. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed out the session
lower by 2.20 percent at 11,240.26. The negatively skewed jobs data that posted
Friday, paired with the continued rate of national unemployment above 9 percent,
pushed many investors toward thoughts of recession. Investors on Wall Street are
preparing for a rocky start this morning. Overseas data that posted yesterday
sent reinforcing waves of negative data to those preparing for a negative open.
Several primary Asian market indices closed in the red. It is difficult to find
the silver market lining through the dark cloud hanging over the global
marketplace right now. Financial stocks will continue to suffer amidst the
continued debt crisis in the eurozone market as well. Greece is still in the
middle of a controversial review and problems with debt bailout will continue to
plague the nation into the near future. All of this, and more, will push
negatively on the U.S. stock indices as Tuesday trading progresses.
Ramifications from the jobs data on Friday should play a big part in trends this
day as well. The negative weeks are adding up for the primary stock indices in
the U.S. Frank Matto

Why the Sell-off May Not be Very Meaningful

. Sign up for his free weekly newsletter . Friday morning greeted us with lower
equity futures, and the S&P 500 closed the day down 2.53% bringing its two-day
sell-off to 3.7%. The weak August jobs report led more investors to again
embrace the "risk off" trade as they sold equities and piled into gold,
silver and bonds. August job growth was zero making it the weakest performance
for non-farm payrolls in almost a year. The rally in the 10-year U.S. Treasury
note pushed its yield below 2%, to 1.99%, and just a smidge off its all-time low
of 1.97% set last month. The S&P 500 found support right at the key 61.8%
Fibonacci retracement level of the rally from Aug. 26 to Aug. 31 (month-end
rally). While the index is holding on by a thread here, it is also noteworthy
that the MACD has not yet reached overbought territory and our 1,240-1,260 area
on the upside hasn't been met yet. By the way, that area corresponds with a
retest of the 50-day simple moving average from underneath, which is something
the S&P 500 has almost always done after breaking multi-year uptrend moves such
as it did in early August.
