Stock market index composite trending today will benefit from the positive
trending that took place in the market during the last open trading session in
the United States. All three major index composites ended the last trading
session higher. The Dow Jones Industrial Average moved higher by over 80 points
on the day yesterday. Stocks were pulled higher overall by positive action
observed with energy and tech shares. Yesterdays positive action was just what
the doctor ordered after three previous days of negative close results for the
Dow Jones and the S&P 500. Stocks have been in a slump due to the negativity
felt in the market place regarding the closure of the Federal Reserves $600
billion bond buying program. It will end in June and investors have pulled back
as they prepare for the affects on the economy. Investors on Wall Street will
hope to see the positive momentum from yesterdays trading session carry over
into todays market trading session. Scheduled for today will be data pertaining
to first time jobless claims. Also scheduled to post will be data stemming from
the Philadelphia Federal Reserves survey and Leading Indicators index and
existing home sales statistics. The last several weeks of weekly jobless claims
have been moving higher and analysts expect this weeks claims to drop. Existing
home sales are expected to rise. The Federal Reserve Index report is expected to
post lower and the Leading Indicators report is expected to be little changed
from the previous months data. The major index composite movement in the U.S. on
Friday will trend according to momentum that built over the last several trading
sessions as there is little economic news scheduled to post this day. Author:

IBM’s Market Cap Surge Shows Leadership Counts
About a year ago, Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL ) surpassed Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT ) as
the world's largest tech company by market cap. It's hard to believe that
back in 1997, when Steve Jobs returned to Apple, bankruptcy was a possibility.
In fact, he had to get an investment from Microsoft to stay afloat. Things can
certainly change quickly. For example, Microsoft may fall further behind the
tech pecking order as IBM (NYSE: IBM ) is poised to take the No.2 spot (it had
held that spot about 15 years ago). IBMs market cap of $302 billion is about $3
billion behind Microsoft. Granted, the market-cap game is somewhat trivial.
But it does highlight some important lessons for investors. First of all, a
fallen tech company can return to greatness. Keep in mind that besides Apple
IBM was also a basket case during the early 1990s. Both companies had little
strategic direction and were living off their old technologies. What made the
difference? Of course, it was leadership. In the case of IBM, it hired Lou
Gerstner. A former top McKinsey & Co. consultant and savvy corporate
executive, he knew how to streamline an organization and make the right
strategic bets. To this end, he bolstered the global services business and
acquired so-called middle-ware software companies. This focus continues
today. Interestingly enough, IBMs massive scale and back-end technologies are
likely to make it a huge beneficiary of cloud computing, which is a massive
growth opportunity. As for Jobs? We all know the story. He leveraged his
consumer expertise to rethink products like the MP3 player, cell phone and
tablet. But he was also fanatical in instilling discipline in the
organization, which was badly needed. Then there is Microsoft. Where is the
strategic focus? It's vague, because the company wants to dominate all tech
industries. And while it has franchise businesses such as in server tools,
productivity products and operating systems it has other efforts that look like
distractions. A prime example is its search engine. Do you really think it
can make a real dent in Googles (Nasdaq: GOOG ) market share? In other words,
Microsoft needs new leadership, someone who is not afraid to spin off
businesses, cut costs and bring back some focus. The problem is that there is
no urgency to do these things, as the company continues to generate huge amounts
of cash flows. If anything, Microsoft is doubling down on its failed consumer
Internet strategy with its recent $8.5 billion deal for Skype. Basically, as
with Apple and IBM, Microsoft will not truly make serious changes until it faces
a real crisis. And that can be a long wait for investors. Tom Taulli's
latest book is " All About Short Selling " and he has an upcoming book
called " All About Commodities ." You can find him at Twitter account
