CLEARWIRE CORPORATION (CLWR): RISK HAS GONE UP

October 7, 2011

We continue to see the spectrum owned by Clearwire Corporation (CLWR) as very valuable. Our thesis has been that mobile devices will continue to proliferate requiring more and more spectrum. Sooner or later, a bigger firm requiring spectrum will turn to Clearwire. Sprint (S) owns 54% of Clearwire. Sprint relies on Clearwire for its 4G network.

SPRINT NEXTEL (S): OUR TAKE FROM SPRINT CONFERENCE CALL

October 7, 2011

Sprint Nextel (S ) says on the conference call that the reason for the churn was lack of iPhone. Sprint further adds that iPhone will be huge for cash flow and will be very profitable. Sprint stock has moved up on these predictions. We agree that iPhone will reduce churn. However it is difficult to see Sprint taking any market share away from AT&T (T) and Verizon (VZ). There are also reports that Sprint has made a $20 billion commitment to Apple (AAPL). There are no details, so it is difficult to analyse

APPLE (AAPL) GREETING CARD APP: NEGATIVE FOR SHUTTERFLY (SFLY) AND AMERICAN GREETINGS (AM)

October 4, 2011

Shutterfly (SFLY) and American Greetings (AM) derive signicant revenues from letting consumers print their greeting cards. Apple (AAPL) has just introduced an app that allows consumers to print greeting cards. We expect similar apps to proliferate on Android and Windows. This is a negative development for Shutterfly and American Greetings. Our plan is to short sell Shutterfly and American Greetings but only after the over all market moves up from here. We will provide real time actionable signals on these stocks in ZYX Buy Change Alert and ZYX Short Sell Change Alert.
