WILL OBAMA BE A ONE TERM PRESIDENT BECAUSE APPLE’S STEVE JOBS SAID SO? $AAPL

October 18, 2012

AAPL is a symbol of American innovation, but it has created more jobs in China than in America. “IPad, the Macs, the iPhones, they are all manufactured in China,” Candy Crowley asked in the presidential debate Tuesday night. “One of the major reasons is labor is so much cheaper. How do you convince a great American company to bring that manufacturing back here?” As Crowley asked the question my thought immediately went to Steve Jobs‘ account of a meeting with Obama as described in his biography by Walter Isaacson. Jobs told Obama that he was headed for a one term presidency.

FREEDOMPOP SHOWS HOW APPLE AS WE KNOW IT MAY DIE SOMEDAY $AAPL

October 17, 2012

FreedomPop is a new start-up that plans to challenge AT&T (T) and Verizon (VZ) by providing free mobile data–500 MB per month. Both AT&T and Verizon have huge margins on mobile data because of the lack of competition. AT&T and Verizon use these big margins to subsidize Apple‘s iPhone, Google‘s Android and other devices. The big carriers provide a higher amount of subsidies on iPhones than on Android devices. An iPhone that costs the consumer $199 may cost a carrier $500 to $700 even though they may be buying millions of these devices. The carriers more than make up for the upfront subsidies over the life of the

GOLD AND SILVER INVESTORS, TAKE NOTICE: CORE PPI FALLS $GLD $SLV $GDX $SLW $ABX $NEM

October 15, 2012

This up-leg in gold and silver was first initiated by speculation about QE3, and then gathered steam after QE3 was announced. The announcement of the bond buying program from the European Central Bank (ECB) helped stoke the fires of the precious metal bulls. Gold and silver investors should take notice of how the metals reacted to the announcement of Producer Price Index (PPI) data by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The BLS releases PPI separately for finished goods, intermediate goods and crude goods. For each processing stage, the BLS releases data for total PPI, foods PPI, energy PPI,

CLWR NOT PART OF SPRINT DEAL $CLWR $S

October 15, 2012

This post was just published on ZYX Buy Change CLWR is not part of the Sprint (S) deal with Softbank of Japan. The rationale of Softbank investing in Sprint is that it will build more value added services. To do so, it will require more spectrum. Our thesis for holding CLWR is the large amount of spectrum that CLWR owns. However at this time, for the short-term the risk has increased. The stock can as easily go under $2 as it can go over $3. What To Do Now? For tracking purposes a 10% tranche is being exited in the pre-market right here around $2.69. The remaining will

CLWR TARGET IN A SPRINT BUYOUT $CLWR $S

October 12, 2012

This post was just published on ZYX Buy Change Our analysis shows that CLWR target between $3.5 to $5.00 will be considered fair based on the prevailing valuation standards. Of course there is always the possibility that Sprint will try to low-ball. In our estimation if there is a low-ball offer it will probably be challenged in the courts by CLWR shareholders. The bad news in CLWR being acquired here as opposed to staying independent is that the price may be about half or less of the long-term $10 value. We also caution against getting carried away with enthusiasm because there
