Intel Goes Mobile – Again
Founded over 40 years ago, Intel (NASDAQ: INTC ) long had an uncanny ability to
catch the big trends. But in the past few years, the company has fumbled
especially with smartphones and tablet PCs. Its offerings have been mostly too
expensive and cumbersome. And keep in mind that no smartphones use Intel
processors. Yet Intel still has tremendous research-and-development capabilities
as well as an extensive global manufacturing infrastructure. Certainly, the
company should be able to get some traction in the mobile industry, right? Well,
it finally looks as if there may be some hope. At the Consumer Electronics Show
this week, Intel CEO Paul Otellini gave a presentation about the companys new
Medfield processor. It integrates a CPU, RAM, storage and graphics capabilities
on one chip. In all, it can provide five hours of 3G Net access as well as six
hours of 1080-pixel video. Now, while the technology is strong, its not a
standout. But that may not matter because Intel has a lot of market power to
push things forward. In fact, its first deal is in China: Lenovo will sell
Intel-based devices. Then theres a deal with Motorola Mobility (NYSE: MMI ). The
plan is to launch phones and tablets in the second half of 2012. The reach could
be significant since Google (NASDAQ: GOOG ) is acquiring Motorola. While these
steps are encouraging, they are really just experiments and so will likely have
only a minimal impact on Intel's revenues and profits. It will probably take a
few years to move the needle. The problem is that growth will continue in the
mobile space, benefiting players such as ARM (NASDAQ: ARMH ) and Qualcomm
(NASDAQ: QCOM ). No doubt, they will continue to consolidate their market
positions, making things even tougher for Intel. Keep in mind that Qualcomm is
taking a shot at the Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT ) Windows mobile market with its
Snapdragon S4 processor. So for investors, its hard to see any near-term
positive catalysts for Intel. If anything, the core PC business is likely to
remain stagnant which could be a drag on the stock price. Tom Taulli runs the

Solar Stocks Flare Up — Wednesday’s IP Market Recap
XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
tdp2664 InvestorPlace Winter, schminter. The sun ignored the calendar and came out full force Wednesday, with a number of solar stocks booming to double-digit gains amid newfound optimism for the sector. Deutsche Bank released a report saying that while it expected losses from solar companies in their Q4 earnings reports, demand could increase in the next month. Combined with already-low estimations, that could "likely drive upside sentiment surprise," DB's Vishal Shah wrote in the report. Axiom Capital's Gordon Johnson removed sell ratings on five solar stocks, as reported by The Street , citing the possibility of short-term benefits from a boom in German demand. While Johnson also reiterated his long-term negativity for the sector, much-battered solar stocks still had all the nearby positivity they needed. Down the line, large-scale gains were made by JinkoSolar Holding (NYSE: JKS , +32%), ReneSola (NYSE: SOL , +30.8%), Trina Solar (NYSE: TSL , +29.2%), Suntech Power (NYSE: STP , +27.3%),
Gold Price Pierced the $1,630 Resistance and Has $1,680 Firmly in its Sights
XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
DG365FD46564GFH654FU898 Gold Price Close Today : 1642.00 Change : 8.20 or 0.5% Silver Price Close Today : 2993.50 Change : 7.50 cents or 0.3% Gold Silver Ratio Today : 54.852 Change : 0.137 or 0.3% Silver Gold Ratio Today : 0.01823 Change : -0.000046 or -0.2% Platinum Price Close Today : 1491.90 Change : 73.90 or 5.2% Palladium Price Close Today : 644.30 Change : -22.95 or -3.4% S&P 500 : 1,292.48 Change : 0.40 or 0.0% Dow In GOLD$ : $ 156.73 Change : $ (0.77) or -0.5% Dow in GOLD oz : 7.582 Change : -0.037 or -0.5% Dow in SILVER oz : 415.88 Change : -1.03 or -0.2% Dow Industrial : 12,449.45 Change : 0.40 or 0.0% US Dollar Index : 81.31 Change : 0.503 or 0.6% The GOLD PRICE pierced that ($1,630) resistance level and ratcheted to the next resistance level, $1,640. Closed today $8.20 higher at $1,639.20, but high came at $1,646.97. Gapped up on the open and never traded lower than $1,633.49, higher than yesterday’s close. Strong, solid gain. GOLD has $1,675-$1,680 firmly in its sights and is marching that way with resolute dedication. The SILVER PRICE met opposition today that muffled its enthusiasm. It gained only 7.5c to 2985.8c and with at a 3027c high failed to penetrate that resistance. Should do so tomorrow, as today it built an even-sided triangle, which tells us SOMEthing will happen tomorrow. Must-hold level remains 2960c. Look for silver at 3100c soon, maybe tomorrow. Get out of its way! Buying U.S. 90% SILVER coin rather than Silver Eagles over the last few years has saved investors from $3.25 to $2.25 PER OUNCE. You can buy more than 10% MORE silver by dodging the Eagles and purchasing 90% instead. And don’t let anybody fool you about recapturing the premium when you sell at market peak. I’ve been there, and you won’t. At the peak nobody asks, nobody asks, “What KIND of silver do you have?” They only ask, “How MUCH silver do you have?” Always buying the least expensive (but still liquid) form of silver or gold greatly increases your investment’s leverage, because it increases the ounces you own. TODAY silver and gold kept up their advance, the US dollar resumed its role as Big Bully Of Filthy Fiat, and stocks seem to be hovering at their arc’s top preparatory to an earthward plunge. Some stock indices rose, some fell today, reflecting fear and indecision. Dow fell 13.02 to 12,449.45, S&P500 gained a flea-bite 0.4 to $1,292.48. Charts have look and feel of a dying advance. US dollar index bellied up to the table and chug-a-lugged another 50.3 basis points (0.65%) to end at 81.308. This takes the buck back to where this bar-fight started over the weekend with a new high at 81.50. Tomorrow the dollar will finish this fight by breaking beer bottles over its opponents heads, pitching them out of the bar, and closing the doors higher. Dollar rally continues. Euro and yen both closed lower. Yucky yen closed 130.12c/Y100 (-.04%) and scrofulous euro closed at 1.2709, down 0.52%. For the moment, the dollar has ‘em licked, but it’s every bit as sorry as they are. Well, that’s not quite right, but it’s still plenty sorry.

Boomers continue to get old and retire. And, since that trend isnt going to end
anytime soon, I expect the trend to continue well into the decade. However, its

companies with my Portfolio Grader tool, ranking companies by a number of
fundamental and quantitative measures. This week, Ive got eight Pharma stocks to
buy. Here they are, in alphabetical order. Each one of these stocks gets an

ratcheted to the next resistance level, $1,640. Closed today $8.20 higher at
$1,639.20, but high came at $1,646.97. Gapped up on the open and never traded
lower than $1,633.49, higher than yesterday's close. Strong, solid gain. GOLD
has $1,675-$1,680 firmly in its sights and is marching that way with resolute
dedication. The SILVER PRICE met opposition today that muffled its enthusiasm.
It gained only 7.5c to 2985.8c and with at a 3027c high failed to penetrate that
resistance. Should do so tomorrow, as today it built an even-sided triangle,
which tells us SOMEthing will happen tomorrow. Must-hold level remains 2960c.
Look for silver at 3100c soon, maybe tomorrow. Get out of its way! Buying U.S.
90% SILVER coin rather than Silver Eagles over the last few years has saved
investors from $3.25 to $2.25 PER OUNCE. You can buy more than 10% MORE silver
by dodging the Eagles and purchasing 90% instead. And don't let anybody fool you
about recapturing the premium when you sell at market peak. I've been there, and
you won't. At the peak nobody asks, nobody asks, "What KIND of silver do you
have?" They only ask, "How MUCH silver do you have?" Always buying the least
expensive (but still liquid) form of silver or gold greatly increases your
investment's leverage, because it increases the ounces you own. TODAY silver and
gold kept up their advance, the US dollar resumed its role as Big Bully Of
Filthy Fiat, and stocks seem to be hovering at their arc's top preparatory to an
earthward plunge. Some stock indices rose, some fell today, reflecting fear and
indecision. Dow fell 13.02 to 12,449.45, S&P500 gained a flea-bite 0.4 to
$1,292.48. Charts have look and feel of a dying advance. US dollar index bellied
up to the table and chug-a-lugged another 50.3 basis points (0.65%) to end at
81.308. This takes the buck back to where this bar-fight started over the
weekend with a new high at 81.50. Tomorrow the dollar will finish this fight by
breaking beer bottles over its opponents heads, pitching them out of the bar,
and closing the doors higher. Dollar rally continues. Euro and yen both closed
lower. Yucky yen closed 130.12c/Y100 (-.04%) and scrofulous euro closed at
1.2709, down 0.52%. For the moment, the dollar has 'em licked, but it's every
bit as sorry as they are. Well, that's not quite right, but it's still plenty
sorry. Argentum et aurum comparenda sunt -- -- Gold and silver must be bought. -

Gold Undeterred by Beige Book’s Improved Economic Outlook
Gold futures held onto their gains Wednesday afternoon despite encouraging
economic news from the Federal Reserves latest Beige Book. COMEX gold for
February delivery settled higher by $8.10, or 0.5%, at $1,639.60 per ounce, and
the yellow metal later climbed to $1,642.00 in electronic trading. The Beige
Book, which is made up economic reports from each regional branch of the Fed,
noted that the reports on balance suggest ongoing improvement in economic
conditions in recent months, with most Districts highlighting more favorable
conditions than identified in reports from the late spring through early fall.
Other highlights from the Beige Book included: - Consumer spending picked up in
most Districts, reflecting significant gains in holiday retail sales compared
with last years season, and activity in the travel and tourism sector expanded
in most areas - Demand strengthened further for nonfinancial services, including
professional and transportation services - Manufacturing activity generally
continued to expand, although the pace of growth has slowed for selected
subsectors such as technology products - Activity stayed sluggish in residential
real estate markets, and conditions in commercial real estate markets remained
somewhat soft overall but showed signs of ongoing improvement in several
Districts - Reports from financial institutions generally indicated a slight
uptick in loan demand by businesses, along with improvements in overall credit
quality The full version of the Feds Beige Book is available at the link below:

Sell GOOG, AAPL, C Options to Make a Fast Buck
One of the more challenging, yet potentially rewarding, types of option trades
is trading around either a long position or no position in a stock thats about
to report earnings. Many investors tend to stay away from earnings season, as it
can be a bit more volatile than they care to try to stomach. But not only is
this a great time to make directional plays (by buying calls or puts), you also
have the opportunity to put cash in your pocket now and come out a winner either
way whether the underlying stock moves (much) or not. I like those kinds of
odds! As we head into another earnings season, here are five options trades that
could offer fast profits on three big-name stocks. Trade #1 Sell Citigroup Puts
Citigroup (NYSE: C ) has potential in the long run, or so thinks hedge fund
manager Bill Ackman, who holds a huge stake in Citi. The stock is trading well
below what he (and I) believe is where it should be trading. Citi closed right
at $30 on Tuesday, so if you dont hold it and youd like to because its a value
play, I say sell the C Feb 30 Put for $1.75. Thats almost a 6% premium to take
the risk, which is much higher than what I usually target. Trade #2 Sell
Citigroup Covered Calls For those who are long Citi and are concerned about its
upcoming earnings report and want to hedge their bets, the C Feb 30 Calls are
also going for $1.75, so youll get 6% downside protection while collecting that
premium. Just dont sell calls without owning the underlying stock the risk
usually isnt worth the reward, no matter what the underlying stock is. For this
Citi trade, you can buy the shares and sell the calls, or simply sell those C
Feb 30 Puts instead. Trade #3 Sell Google Puts I like option trades on Google
(NASDAQ: GOOG ) because I believe the company is still in its infancy of world
domination. Its simply the most innovative, amazing technology play in existence
outside of Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ). If you dont own Google but love it right here
at the $623 stock price, then sell the GOOG Feb 600 Puts for $15.40. Thats a
fantastic income stream of $1,540 per contract. And if Google sells off after
earnings, youre effectively in at $585. And if not, youve just collected a nice
paycheck. Trade #4 Sell Google Calls For those who own Google and think it has
had its run and want to generate some coin off of it without giving up too much
upside, sell the GOOG Feb 645 Call for $16.50.

Wednesday Apple Rumors: Will T-Mobile Finally Get Some iPhone Love?
XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
tdp2664 InvestorPlace Next iPhone Ready for T-Mobile’s Network?: AT&T (NYSE: T ) sold 6.1 million iPhones over the holiday quarter. Verizon (NYSE: VZ ) sold 4.2 million. Even Sprint (NYSE: S ) sold 1.2 million iPhones. How many did T-Mobile USA sell? Zero. None whatsoever. Despite persistent rumors that the Deutsche Telekom-owned company will get an iPhone of its very own one day—even without becoming an AT&T subsidiary—Apple’s device remains elusive for T-Mobile. The iPhone 5 could change that, if comments made on Tuesday to CNET by T-Mobile’s chief technology officer, Neville Ray, are any indication. One of the factors keeping the iPhone off of T-Mobile in the U.S. is the phone’s incompatibility with the Advanced Wireless Services, or
Why Most Investors Overreact, Buy High and Sell Low
XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
tdp2664 InvestorPlace “I really have to test your knowledge of behavioral finance,” Andrew wrote. ” Why is it that during losses sellers are aversive to sell whereas during gains, sellers are more encouraged to sell?” That, my friends, is one of the great Zen koans for investors. I don’t pretend to know precisely how or why this occurs, but here’s a shot at an explanation: It's plain old human emotion that prompts folks to sell during a crash and buy at the top of a meteoric run – the very opposite of buy low and sell high. Here are the best analogies I can come up with: On the sell side it's kind of like the fact that when you see a Grizzly Bear in the wilderness. Boy Scout guides say you're supposed to stay calm and walk away slowly, but most folks run away screaming. They are too damn scared to think rationally. Or put simply: Human beings

That Pain in Your Leg? It’s Called a Value Trap
XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
tdp2664 InvestorPlace Some stocks are cheap for a reason. Of course, as an investor, you hope that tromping through the woods will yield a cheap but tasty stock that has gone overlooked by the other hunters and will yield you a fortune. But sometimes you think you’ve found a bargain only to find that you’ve stepped on a trip wire and now have steel jaws clamped on your leg! Ouch — that’s a value trap. One such trap is GameStop Corporation (NYSE: GME ). Common sense would suggest that with all the young folk out there staring at their wide-screen TV’s with Xbox’s in hand that the gaming industry is making a fortune. Well, gaming manufacturers are, but retailers aren’t. The company just reported a 1.5% same-store sales decline for Q4 . The stock trades at a P/E of 8, which is why it’ll show up on value screens. But the point of a value stock is that its growth rate exceeds its P/E, giving a PEG ratio that’s quite a bit under 1.0. The problem is that the trend for gaming retailers is flat to down and not big-time growth. So while the company is hardly about to go bankrupt, it isn’t a value, either. ITT Corporation (NYSE: ITT ) might normally attract me because it’s a boring company in a boring industry. Yet its business has been very inconsistent, with revenue and earnings behaving in roller-coaster fashion. Yes, it trades at an attractive 12 times earnings, with solid gross and net margins, good cash flow, and net cash of $1 billion. Yet it’s hard to tell if the company is growing given the aforementioned roller-coaster financials. That’s another thing you want to look for in a low-P/E stock — is the P/E low because this year’s earnings are making it attractive, while next year’s may take a hit? Think of this as looking under the brush before taking a step. Did you find some old newsprint in the forest? It wouldn’t surprise me. Sometimes a value trap can be an entire industry, and thus, newspapers are not the place to invest . That’s why I think of Gannett Co. (NYSE: GCI ) as another type of value trap. The company trades at a mere 7 on the P/E scale, yet analysts forecast only 6% earnings growth annually over the next five years. And the way I see it, that’s an overestimate. Newspapers are so 20th century. We are all getting our news online and via mobile devices. That trend is only going to continue.

Hecla Mining Sinks on Silver Shaft Closing; Gold, Silver Take a Breather
XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
tdp2664 InvestorPlace Shares of Hecla Mining (NYSE: HL ) were plummeting to the tune of almost 25% on news that the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration ordered closed the mile-deep Silver Shaft at its Lucky Friday mine in Idaho to remove sand, rock and debris that has built up as a result of a rock burst in mid-December. The mine is expected to remain under “temporary care and maintenance” through year’s end. Gold was slightly higher and silver marginally lower in Wednesday morning trading, as the market appeared to be taking a breather after Tuesday’s strong showing. Eurozone sovereign debt and a weaker euro/dollar forex rate were said to be weighing on risk assets — gold and silver included — as was U.S.-listed share prices’ run-up to a six-month high yesterday. Sovereign debt news out of Europe was positive, however. Bidding was strong at an auction of five-year German government bonds, and that also sent yields lower on weaker eurozone partners Italy and Spain. In the U.S., Federal Reserve chairman Bernanke announced that the Fed stands ready to “double down on a three-year bet” to revive the U.S. housing market that’s failed thus far, according to a Bloomberg report. Spot gold was trading some 0.3% higher at 10:30 a.m., with a bid price of $1,637.70 per ounce and an ask price of $1,638.70. Spot gold traded as high as $1,641.90 and as low as $1632.80. The London afternoon reference price fix came in at $1,634.50, $2.50 per ounce lower than Tuesday’s reference price, according to Kitco market data . Spot silver was down 0.2%, bid at $29.88 per ounce with an ask price of $29.98. The morning high as of time of writing was $30.04 and the low was $29.51. Wednesday’s reference price was set at $29.81 in the London a.m., 12 cents per ounce higher than Tuesday’s price fix. Gold prices hit a one-month high of just under $1,647 per ounce in London morning trading before giving back ground as the dollar rallied, according to BullionVault ‘s London Gold Market report. “While the dollar may not see a significant correction soon, and is likely to continue to gain against the euro as the eurozone crisis persists, the negative effects of a stronger dollar on gold are likely to be largely diminished in 2012, allowing the bullish macro drivers to dictate price action once again,” according to a market note from Societe Generale. Gold and silver trusts were moving higher in Wednesday morning activity on U.S. exchanges. The SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE: GLD ) was showing gains of nearly 0.7%. The iShares Gold Trust (NYSE: IAU ) was up more than 0.6%. The iShares Silver Trust (NYSE: SLV ) was up about 0.5%. Gold and silver mining ETFs were heading lower. The Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (NYSE: GDX ) was around 0.7% lower. The Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF (NYSE: GDXJ ) was down 0.3%.

tdp2664 InvestorPlace Stocks leapt forward at the opening yesterday following gains in Europe and better earnings here at home. The Stoxx Europe 600 Index rose 1.8% and Germany's DAX gained 2.4%, while France's CAC 40 gained 2.7%. The gains in Europe were attributed to rating agencies saying that the AAA ratings of France and Germany will not be cut. At the close, the Dow Jones Industrial Average had gained 69 points at 12,462, the S&P 500 rose 11 points to 1,292, and the Nasdaq gained 26 points to close at 2,703. NYSE volume was 840 million shares, and the Nasdaq traded 478 million shares. Advancers exceeded decliners on both exchanges by about 3-to-1. Click to Enlarge Quality dividend-paying stocks have been propelling the market since early December. Thus the Dow, with 30 quality stocks, has been finding the going a lot easier than more speculative indices. The breakout from the 12,300 line is not confirmed, setting up a new trading range at 12,300 to the July high at 12,800. Even at these relatively lofty levels the stochastic turned higher and issued another buy signal despite its overbought condition. Click to Enlarge Like the Dow, the S&P 500 has confirmed its break from the trading zone that had dominated trading since July. But the S&P 500 lacks the gusto of its higher-quality cousin, and its breakout lagged the Dow's confirmation by more than a week. The breakout sets up a new trading zone at 1,285 to 1,348. Click to Enlarge The Nasdaq, with the most speculative stocks, finally broke out with gusto yesterday, gapping through the bearish resistance line that has plagued it since October. But it has yet to exceed the October high at 2,753. Until it penetrates that high, the break to a new trading zone will not be confirmed. Like the other indices, its stochastic is also overbought. Conclusion: With all three of the major indices now in positive territory, and two with confirmed changes in direction, the path ahead is up. And so the phenomenon known as the "January Effect" has moved stocks forward as new IRA and 401(k) money is invested. And additional purchases are the results of investors who have sold stocks for tax reasons and institutions that have sold for window-dressing reinvesting the funds in the new year.
