$F #ford - Ford Motor Co. reported better-than-expected earnings second-quarter profit higher ?

Ford Motor Company (Ford) operates in the global automotive industry. Ford operates in two sectors: Automotive and Financial Services. The Company manufactures or distributes automobiles across six continents.Its shares rose 3 percent in premarket trading Wednesday.

Ford earned $1.23 billion in the April-June period, up 18.5 percent from a year ago.

Ford's results were propelled by a $2.3 billion profit in North America, a second-quarter record for that region. Pickup truck sales are booming in the U.S., where construction companies and other businesses are rapidly replacing the fleets they held onto during the recession. Sales of Ford's F-Series pickup truck — which has long been the best-selling vehicle in the U.S. — jumped 26 percent in the second quarter, or more than three times the average industry increase.

Ford's total U.S. sales rose 15 percent during the quarter, according to Kelley Blue Book.

Ford also reported a best-ever profit of $177 million in Asia. Ford's sales jumped 47 percent in China the first six months of this year, compared with total industry sales growth of 17 percent, as the company introduced new vehicles like the EcoSport and Kuga SUVs.


Its automotive brands include Ford and Lincoln. The Company's Automotive sector includes Ford North America, Ford South America, Ford Europe, and Ford Asia Pacific Africa regions. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company sold approximately 5,668,000 vehicles at wholesale worldwide. Other Financial Services includes a range of businesses, including holding companies and real estate. The Company and its subsidiaries are also engaged in other businesses, including financing vehicles. Ford provides financial services through Ford Motor Credit Company. The No. 2 U.S. automaker reported pretax second-quarter profit of 45 cents per share. Analysts, on average, expected 37 cents per share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.

The stock rose 3.1 percent to $17.47 in premarket trading.

Second-quarter revenue rose 15 percent to $38.1 billion.

Global vehicle prices, excluding the impact of incentives, rose $1 billion in the quarter. Prices increased in every region except Europe, where an economic downturn sent sales to 20-year lows in the first half.

The automaker reported a pretax profit of $2.3 billion in North America, its largest market and main source of profits. Truck sales were on a tear in the first half, which helped boost profits.

Outside North America, Ford also improved.

"I think we're at the beginning of the phase where over the next several years you'll start to see the operations outside North America take on more and more significance," Chief Financial Officer Bob Shanks told reporters in Dearborn, Michigan. "You're starting to see what's possible."

Best 2012 hot stocks to buy ? NFLX,F,RIMM,AAPL,UAL,NFLX,DAL,GRPN,GCI,S,BAC

1. Ford

The No. 2 U.S. automaker's stock is down almost 50% this year, from $18.97 to $10.24. That's despite the fact that its revenue and American vehicle sales continue to rise. The U.S. car and light truck market recovered substantially this year and may be up as much as 15% from 2010. There is a great deal of evidence to suggest that as the consumer sentiment recovery proceeds and interest rates remain low, buyers will re-enter the car market. Yet Ford (F) shares have been caught in the downdraft created by fears of a possible second recession. The chances of that, however, continue to recede.

In addition, Ford has particular strength in the SUV and light truck sector, which is where a great deal of the sales growth in the U.S. has come from. It has the best selling pickups in the U.S. -- the F-series -- and the Explorer SUV. Ford is also strong in the rapidly growing markets of Latin America and Asia.

The final factor in Ford's favor is that the average car owned by American households is now 5 years old. That's well above the historic average, and many analysts think this huge pool of aged cars will soon start being replaced.

2. Research In Motion

RIM (RIMM) is on most analysts' lists of takeover targets. Its recent problems, including slow subscription sales, the lackluster reception of its Playbook tablet, and late product launches, have pushed the stock to a seven-year low. It's troubles are so severe that some analysts think RIM is no longer a valuable acquisition. That's not true. RIM's remaining strengths are great, and in some ways, unique.

First, the company has 75 million subscribers, a large portion of them are overseas in places that Apple (AAPL) has been slow to build its iPhone distribution, particularly in China.

Next, RIM has an operating system that has not been drawn into the large number of patent lawsuits that Apple, Samsung, and the Google (GOOG) Android based smartphones are embroiled in. By avoiding IP disputes, RIM can watch from the sidelines court battles that could cost the losers billion of dollars.

RIM's share price is $13, compared to a 52-week high of $70. It trades at an extraordinarily low of 0.35 times total sales. That makes it a fine target for several companies that will want to hedge their bets in the smartphone market -- among them Microsoft (MSFT), HTC, and Samsung -- the No.2 handset company in the world. The media has recently reported that Microsoft and Nokia (NOK) have considered a joint bid for RIM. Apparently, Amazon (AMZN) has as well. Any consideration these companies make a definite offer is likely only in early stages, if an official offer is to be made at all. These rumors have pushed RIM share up 10%.

3. Netflix

Netflix (NFLX) is also on a number of takeover lists, as it should be. The stock has dropped from $305 to $69 in a year. Wall Street is worried about Netflix's profitability because of its slow subscriber growth and high programming costs. But Netflix is viewed by many analysts who follow the content and content delivery industry as a de facto cable company: It has over 20 million subscribers; it has content deals to syndicate TV shows and movies from most of the major media companies; and it has a current annual sales run rate of over $3 billion and net income last quarter of $62 million. Shareholders who have abandoned the company think it may have a net loss next year. But Netflix has a strong balance sheet with $350 million in cash.

The most likely buyer of Netflix is one of the two satellite TV companies -- Dish Network (DISH) or DirecTV (DTV). AT&T (T) and Verizon (VZ) may also make offers as a way to bolster their fiber-to-the home products. Both the two big telecoms and satellite companies lack weapons for their battles with the cable companies. Netflix's huge content delivery system and its content licenses could change that

4. United Continental Holdings

The parent of these recently merged companies now operates the largest airline in the U.S. Fears of high oil prices and a new recession drove shares from nearly $30 last November to under $16 recently. The airline has three critical factors in its favor. The first is that it's still in the early stages of slicing out the labor, reservation system, and route redundancies left from the merger. If Northwest's marriage with Delta (DAL) is any guide, United Continental (UAL) will save tens of millions of dollars in costs per year. This will substantially improve operating margins and thus EPS.

The second factor is that the oil prices rally is over. A jet fuel cost increase of 20% or 30% from current levels is no longer a strong possibility. Finally, the AMR Chapter 11 should be a windfall for United Continental. The bankruptcy of a major carrier allows it to unload planes and cut routes. This lowers passenger capacity for the entire industry. And lower capacity means all carriers have a chance to raise ticket prices

This lowers passenger capacity for the entire industry. And lower capacity means all carriers have a chance to raise ticket prices.

5. Groupon

The argument that the Groupon (GRPN) phenomenon will turn out to have been a fad has driven its shares from an IPO price of $20 and a recent high of $31.14 back down to $22. But recent analysts calls on the company include three "buys" from Barrington Research, Hudson Square Research, and the Benchmark Company. Groupon's CEO recently wrote that "We sold over 650,000 Grouponicus deals between Black Friday and Cyber Monday -- an increase of over 500% from last year." The news caused the stock to rally more than 30% in two days.

The major concern about Groupon is that it will be flanked by direct competitor LivingSocial, or online coupon deals from large retailers such as Walmart (WMT). But that has not happened yet, and if there was ever a time for these companies to make a large push, it would have been during the holiday season. Groupon also has an important advantage in the e-commerce world. Like Amazon.com, it was the first significant company to enter its market and still holds a large lead over its rivals. In the stock market, first place usually means a premium price

6. Gannett

Gannett (GCI) trades for $13 now, but several newspaper analysts recently told Barron's they expect shares of the nation's largest newspaper chain to move to $16. These analysts also forecast Gannett will double its dividend. That prediction is probably too conservative. Consensus estimates are that EPS will increase next year to $2.18 from $2.12 this year. That is an impressive gain for a company in a dying industry.

One of the things about Gannett that is rarely mentioned is that its online properties had 43.6 million unique visitors in October. That is more than Twitter or LinkedIn. Yet Gannett has a market cap of $3 billion, while LinkedIn's is $6.4 billion, and Twitter was recently given a valuation of $7 billion. It is also lost on many investors that Gannett is a huge and profitable corporation that continues to cut costs and pick up revenue online. Last year, Gannett had total sales of $5.4 billion and net income of $622 million. Gannett has a proven track record. New Web 2.0 companies can't say the same, despite their high market valuations

7. Sprint-Nextel

The No. 3 cellular carrier will not be independent a year from now -- it has too much debt and too little traction as it tries to add subscribers in a saturated U.S. market that's dominated by AT&T and Verizon Wireless. However, Sprint (S) has several assets a larger company would find attractive. The first is its 50 million subscribers. The second is its 4G WiMax network. The company is also building a second 4G LTE network. To duplicate these assets would take billions of dollars. Korea-based SK Telecom approached Sprint about a buyout three years ago. Sprint's cash and debt position was better then, and the U.S. company was able to turn down the offer. And SK is only one of several large overseas telcos that would like to have a position in the world's second-largest cellular market.

Now that the T-Mobile buyout deal with AT&T has failed, parent Deutsche Telekom (DT) can use the AT&T $4 billion breakup fee to rebuild its presence in the U.S. But Deutsche Telekom knows that its No. 4 spot in the U.S. is not a viable position. But combine T-Mobile's 35 million subscribers with Sprint's 50 million, and it would have a number close to AT&T's total.

And it's a good time to buy: Sprint's shares have fallen from a 52-week high of $6.45 to $2.25, dropping its

8. Bank of America

The most troubled large bank in the U.S. has been on several lists of stocks that could double in 2012. That seems improbable ... until one carefully reviews the premises. B of A (BAC) has three severe problems. The first is that it is in too many low-margin businesses. Some of these are related to consumer banking and others to its large presence in the mortgage business. But the bank has announced 30,000 layoffs, and, as it looks for more inefficiencies, that number will grow.

The financial firm's second problem is that its large pool of mortgages has lost a great deal of its value. Still, much of that value has been written down already. Any recovery in the housing market will help the bank rebuild its balance sheet as these home loan assets appreciate. The third problem is that Bank of America is in litigation, or is about to be, with several states over how Countrywide Financial, which it purchased, packaged mortgage securities and sold them to other institutions. All of the other large U.S. banks are involved in similar suits. Once this litigation is settled, a large overhang that has pressed down on its stock will disappear.

Finally, lost in the conversation about Bank of America's share price is that the consensus estimates for EPS next year is $0.97 up from $0.02 this year. The smart money on Wall Street sees a huge recovery in earnings. B of A trades at $5.05, down from a 52-week high of $15.

In a great achievement in the history of the Indian unit of Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F), the company announced that it has reached the milestone of 100,000 sales for the recently released Figo, the company’s hatchback. The company said that it will celebrate the achievement with a Pan-India drive.Apple iPhone 3G 8GB - Black - Unlocked



Nigel Wark, executive director, Marketing, Sales and Service, Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) India, said that, “We are proud to have attracted 100,000 Figo customers in just 15 months. Through our 100-day road show, the Ford Figo ‘Bharat Yatra’, we will introduce the vehicle to even more Indian drivers, enabling them to see, first hand, what the buzz is all about”.

While all of the news surrounding June auto sales will not be known for another day, Ford (NYSE:F) has gotten the ball rolling with some positive results. The company announced sales of 194,114 units, up 14% from last year, and above the 192,000 sold last month. For Ford it would appear that the sales slump came to an end in May. The company recently gave indication that sales in the second half of the year will increase, which bodes well for Sirius XM Satellite Radio (NASDAQ:SIRI).




One thing that satellite radio investors always need to be sensitive to is the news cycle of the auto manufacturing channel. With close ties to the auto industry, Sirius XM will always be impacted by the news releases about car sales and production. By example, while the headlines for Ford are good, the headline for Honda is a warning that they expect to sell 36% less cars this summer when compared to last year.

Top 2nd half stock picks to buy in 2011

•Baidu (BIDU): The Chinese equivalent of Google (GOOG) owns 75% of the market in China.


•Gol Linhas (GOL): This airline should fly high on the rise of the Brazilian middle class, as well as upcoming soccer and Olympics events in the country.

•Freeport McMoRan (FCX): For a commodity play, it's hard to find better than the largest publicly traded copper miner in the world.

•Johnson Controls (JCI): This is a U.S. company with good exposure to China, since it makes auto interiors for manufacturers there. The auto industry was beaten down this year, but Johnson Controls is a good way to capture the chance it will ramp back up.

•Banco Bilbao Vizcaya (BBVA): Again, the strategy here is to jump in as the stock bounces back. This bank is making a big play for more share of the Spanish market.





When asked about his take on General Motors (GM) and Ford (F), Jubak said both automakers are on the upswing, with GM specifically one of the best-positioned to sell more cars in China. But a better way to profit from the recovery in the auto industry is at the supply level, with stocks such as Johnson Controls, he The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy (Extended Edition + Digital Copy) [Blu-ray]added.

Boeing (BA) would be on Jubak's list for all of 2011, but he said the stock has already appreciated in the first half of the year. It may continue to appreciate through the end of 2011, but a better strategy would be to look at suppliers, such as Precision Castparts (PCP).

next time they're in-store; maybe it's a free Android app that makes the product easier to use or more valuable in a substantive way (i.e., upload the photo of a wine stain on your table cloth to a website and get back in minutes a detailed—and guaranteed—expert treatment for its safe removal); perhaps it's an invitation to participate in an 'open innovation' focus group for non-trivial compensation.


An inflationary gap, in economics, is the amount by which the real Gross domestic product, or real GDP, exceeds potential GDP.[1] The real GDP is also known as GDP "adjusted for inflation", "constant prices" GDP or "constant dollar" GDP, because it measures the aggregate output in a country's income accounts in a given year, expressed in base-year prices. On the other hand, the potential GDP is the quantity of real GDP when a country's economy is at full-employment.




When an initial increase in aggregate demand produces inflation (so called demand-pull inflation) and real GDP increase, the price level and real GDP are determined at the point where the new aggregate demand and the short-run aggregate supply meet. This point is known as above full-employment equilibrium[1], since the short-run aggregate supply is above the long-term aggregate supply, i.e. above the aggregate supply at full employment. The gap created between real GDP and potential GDP is the consequence of inflation, this is one of the reasons this type of gap is called an inflationary gap.



Obviously, this situation cannot last forever, because there is a shortage of labour. The shortage of labour produces the rise of wage rates, which makes the short-run aggregate supply decrease, until it reaches the full-employment level. The short-run aggregate supply decrease makes an upward pressure on the price level, consequently causing inflation. The once created gap between real GDP and potential GDP was the sign of forthcoming inflation, this is another reason this type gap 12 Warning Signs of U.S. Hyperinflation


by , National Inflation Ass.

Ford Motor Co. (F)


June 2011 $17 put options

Purchase Price: $1.15



NIA’s President just sold his 250 Ford (F) June $17 put options at $1.72 for a gain of 50% from his January 19th purchase price of $1.15. He made a profit of $14,250 in just seven trading days.



NIA is 2 for 3 with options suggestions during the past 12 months. Our first options suggestion, January $20 SLV calls, gained as much as 1,023% from NIA’s suggestion price.





One of the most frequently asked questions we receive at the National Inflation Association (NIA) is what warning signs will there be when hyperinflation is imminent. In our opinion, the majority of the warning signs that hyperinflation is imminent are already here today, but most Americans are failing to properly recognize them. NIA believes that there is a serious risk of hyperinflation breaking out as soon as the second half of this calendar year and that hyperinflation is almost guaranteed to occur by the end of this decade.



In our estimation, the most likely time frame for a full-fledged outbreak of hyperinflation is between the years 2013 and 2015. Americans who wait until 2013 to prepare, will most likely see the majority of their purchasing power wiped out. It is essential that all Americans begin preparing for hyperinflation immediately.



Here are NIA's top 12 warning signs that hyperinflation is about to occur:



1) The Federal Reserve is Buying 70% of U.S. Treasuries. The Federal Reserve has been buying 70% of all new U.S. treasury debt. Up until this year, the U.S. has been successful at exporting most of its inflation to the rest of the world, which is hoarding huge amounts of U.S. dollar reserves due to the U.S. dollar's status as the world's reserve currency. In recent months, foreign central bank purchases of U.S. treasuries have declined from 50% down to 30%, and Federal Reserve purchases have increased from 10% up to 70%. This means U.S. government deficit spending is now directly leading to U.S. inflation that will destroy the standard of living for all Americans.



2) The Private Sector Has Stopped Purchasing U.S. Treasuries. The U.S. private sector was previously a buyer of 30% of U.S. government bonds sold. Today, the U.S. private sector has stopped buying U.S. treasuries and is dumping government debt. The Pimco Total Return Fund was recently the single largest private sector owner of U.S. government bonds, but has just reduced its U.S. treasury holdings down to zero. Although during the financial panic of 2008, investors purchased government bonds as a safe haven, during all future panics we believe precious metals will be the new safe haven.



3) China Moving Away from U.S. Dollar as Reserve Currency. The U.S. dollar became the world's reserve currency because it was backed by gold and the U.S. had the world's largest manufacturing base. Today, the U.S. dollar is no longer backed by gold and China has the world's largest manufacturing base. There is no reason for the world to continue to transact products and commodities in U.S. dollars, when most of everything the world consumes is now produced in China. China has been taking steps to position the yuan to be the world's new reserve currency.



The People's Bank of China stated earlier this month, in a story that went largely unreported by the mainstream media, that it would respond to overseas demand for the yuan to be used as a reserve currency and allow the yuan to flow back into China more easily. China hopes to allow all exporters and importers to settle their cross border transactions in yuan by the end of 2011, as part of their plan to increase the yuan's international role. NIA believes if China really wants to become the world's next superpower and see to it that the U.S. simultaneously becomes the world's next Zimbabwe, all China needs to do is use their $1.15 trillion in U.S. dollar reserves to accumulate gold and use that gold to back the yuan.



4) Japan to Begin Dumping U.S. Treasuries. Japan is the second largest holder of U.S. treasury securities with $885.9 billion in U.S. dollar reserves. Although China has reduced their U.S. treasury holdings for three straight months, Japan has increased their U.S. treasury holdings seven months in a row. Japan is the country that has been the most consistent at buying our debt for the past year, but that is about the change. Japan is likely going to have to spend $300 billion over the next year to rebuild parts of their country that were destroyed by the recent earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear disaster, and NIA believes their U.S. dollar reserves will be the most likely source of this funding. This will come at the worst possible time for the U.S., which needs Japan to increase their purchases of U.S. treasuries in order to fund our record budget deficits.



5) The Fed Funds Rate Remains Near Zero. The Federal Reserve has held the Fed Funds Rate at 0.00-0.25% since December 16th, 2008, a period of over 27 months. This is unprecedented and NIA believes the world is now flooded with excess liquidity of U.S. dollars.



When the nuclear reactors in Japan began overheating two weeks ago after their cooling systems failed due to a lack of electricity, TEPCO was forced to open relief valves to release radioactive steam into the air in order to avoid an explosion. The U.S. stock market is currently acting as a relief valve for all of the excess liquidity of U.S. dollars. The U.S. economy for all intents and purposes should currently be in a massive and extremely steep recession, but because of the Fed's money printing, stock prices are rising because people don't know what else to do with their dollars.



NIA believes gold, and especially silver, are much better hedges against inflation than U.S. equities, which is why for the past couple of years we have been predicting large declines in both the Dow/Gold and Gold/Silver ratios. These two ratios have been in free fall exactly like NIA projected.



The Dow/Gold ratio is the single most important chart all investors need to closely follow, but way too few actually do. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) itself is meaningless because it averages together the dollar based movements of 30 U.S. stocks. With just the DJIA, it is impossible to determine whether stocks are rising due to improving fundamentals and real growing investor demand, or if prices are rising simply because the money supply is expanding.



The Dow/Gold ratio illustrates the cyclical nature of the battle between paper assets like stocks and real hard assets like gold. The Dow/Gold ratio trends upward when an economy sees real economic growth and begins to trend downward when the growth phase ends and everybody becomes concerned about preserving wealth. With interest rates at 0%, the U.S. economy is on life support and wealth preservation is the focus of most investors. NIA believes the Dow/Gold ratio will decline to 1 before the hyperinflationary crisis is over and until the Dow/Gold ratio does decline to 1, investors should keep buying precious metals.



6) Year-Over-Year CPI Growth Has Increased 92% in Three Months. In November of 2010, the Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS)'s consumer price index (CPI) grew by 1.1% over November of 2009. In February of 2011, the BLS's CPI grew by 2.11% over February of 2010, above the Fed's informal inflation target of 1.5% to 2%. An increase in year-over-year CPI growth from 1.1% in November of last year to 2.11% in February of this year means that the CPI's growth rate increased by approximately 92% over a period of just three months. Imagine if the year-over-year CPI growth rate continues to increase by 92% every three months. In 9 to 12 months from now we could be looking at a price inflation rate of over 15%. Even if the BLS manages to artificially hold the CPI down around 5% or 6%, NIA believes the real rate of price inflation will still rise into the double-digits within the next year.



7) Mainstream Media Denying Fed's Target Passed. You would think that year-over-year CPI growth rising from 1.1% to 2.11% over a period of three months for an increase of 92% would generate a lot of media attention, especially considering that it has now surpassed the Fed's informal inflation target of 1.5% to 2%. Instead of acknowledging that inflation is beginning to spiral out of control and encouraging Americans to prepare for hyperinflation like NIA has been doing for years, the media decided to conveniently change the way it defines the Fed's informal target.



The media is now claiming that the Fed's informal inflation target of 1.5% to 2% is based off of year-over-year changes in the BLS's core-CPI figures. Core-CPI, as most of you already know, is a meaningless number that excludes food and energy prices. Its sole purpose is to be used to mislead the public in situations like this. We guarantee that if core-CPI had just surpassed 2% and the normal CPI was still below 2%, the media would be focusing on the normal CPI number, claiming that it remains below the Fed's target and therefore inflation is low and not a problem.



The fact of the matter is, food and energy are the two most important things Americans need to live and survive. If the BLS was going to exclude something from the CPI, you would think they would exclude goods that Americans don't consume on a daily basis. The BLS claims food and energy prices are excluded because they are most volatile. However, by excluding food and energy, core-CPI numbers are primarily driven by rents. Considering that we just came out of the largest Real Estate bubble in world history, there is a glut of homes available to rent on the market. NIA has been saying for years that being a landlord will be the worst business to be in during hyperinflation, because it will be impossible for landlords to increase rents at the same rate as overall price inflation. Food and energy prices will always increase at a much faster rate than rents.



8) Record U.S. Budget Deficit in February of $222.5 Billion. The U.S. government just reported a record budget deficit for the month of February of $222.5 billion. February's budget deficit was more than the entire fiscal year of 2007. In fact, February's deficit on an annualized basis was $2.67 trillion. NIA believes this is just a preview of future annual budget deficits, and we will see annual budget deficits surpass $2.67 trillion within the next several years.



9) High Budget Deficit as Percentage of Expenditures. The projected U.S. budget deficit for fiscal year 2011 of $1.645 trillion is 43% of total projected government expenditures in 2011 of $3.819 trillion. That is almost exactly the same level of Brazil's budget deficit as a percentage of expenditures right before they experienced hyperinflation in 1993 and it is higher than Bolivia's budget deficit as a percentage of expenditures right before they experienced hyperinflation in 1985. The only way a country can survive with such a large deficit as a percentage of expenditures and not have hyperinflation, is if foreigners are lending enough money to pay for the bulk of their deficit spending. Hyperinflation broke out in Brazil and Bolivia when foreigners stopped lending and central banks began monetizing the bulk of their deficit spending, and that is exactly what is taking place today in the U.S.



10) Obama Lies About Foreign Policy. President Obama campaigned as an anti-war President who would get our troops out of Iraq. NIA believes that many Libertarian voters actually voted for Obama in 2008 over John McCain because they felt Obama was more likely to end our wars that are adding greatly to our budget deficits and making the U.S. a lot less safe as a result. Obama may have reduced troop levels in Iraq, but he increased troops levels in Afghanistan, and is now sending troops into Libya for no reason.



The U.S. is now beginning to occupy Libya, when Libya didn't do anything to the U.S. and they are no threat to the U.S. Obama has increased our overall overseas troop levels since becoming President and the U.S. is now spending $1 trillion annually on military expenses, which includes the costs to maintain over 700 military bases in 135 countries around the world. There is no way that we can continue on with our overseas military presence without seeing hyperinflation.



11) Obama Changes Definition of Balanced Budget. In the White House's budget projections for the next 10 years, they don't project that the U.S. will ever come close to achieving a real balanced budget. In fact, after projecting declining budget deficits up until the year 2015 (NIA believes we are unlikely to see any major dip in our budget deficits due to rising interest payments on our national debt), the White House projects our budget deficits to begin increasing again up until the year 2021. Obama recently signed an executive order to create the "National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform", with a mission to "propose recommendations designed to balance the budget, excluding interest payments on the debt, by 2015". Obama is redefining a balanced budget to exclude interest payments on our national debt, because he knows interest payments are about to explode and it will be impossible to trul y balance the budget.



12) U.S. Faces Largest Ever Interest Payment Increases. With U.S. inflation beginning to spiral out of control, NIA believes it is 100% guaranteed that we will soon see a large spike in long-term bond yields. Not only that, but within the next couple of years, NIA believes the Federal Reserve will be forced to raise the Fed Funds Rate in a last-ditch effort to prevent hyperinflation. When both short and long-term interest rates start to rise, so will the interest payments on our national debt. With the public portion of our national debt now exceeding $10 trillion, we could see interest payments on our debt reach $500 billion within the next year or two, and over $1 trillion somewhere around mid-decade. When interest payments reach $1 trillion, they will likely be around 30% to 40% of government tax receipts, up from interest payments being only 9% of tax receipts today. No country has ever seen interest payments on their debt reach 40% of tax receipts without hyperinflation occurring in the years to come.






The details of the added value are far less important than its presence: inflationary pressures create innovationary pressures. Many industries became quite skilled in process innovations as their media for assuring economic efficiencies. Global enterprises have become astonishingly good at cost-cutting. But with inflation defined by monetary policies and commodity shortages, those process efficiencies preserve competitive advantage more than creating it. Questions about using the cloud to wrap old data, new information, and innovative services around product offerings to add value become more urgent. When prices rise for everyone, diligent consumers recognize that shopping for the lowest prize makes less sense than looking for the highest value. It's this inflation-driven shift from lowest price to higher value that becomes the innovation invitation for enterprises world-wide. Yes, you still have to compete on price. But when inflation puts everyone at an increasing disadvantage, being innovative about being innovative isn't just the most logical organic growth investment, it's arguably the only real
Oil-based products and food most clearly cost more. Procter & Gamble and Kimberly-Clark say disposable diaper prices will jump by 7%. Toilet paper will be more expensive, too. The cost of throwing out all this more expensive stuff is rising, too. Clorox will lift prices of its Glad trash bags by almost 10% in May. Accelerating commodity inflation is as big a concern in Europe and China as in North America.

A macroeconomic condition that describes the distance between the current level of real gross domestic product (GDP) and full employment (long run equilibrium) real GDP. The inflationary gap is so named because the relative increase in real GDP causes an economy to increase its consumption, which causes prices to rise in the long run

The EBT margin improved to 16.23% from 10.84%. In 2011, analysts expect non-GAAP EPS to be between $3.48 and $6.02. In 2010, non-GAAP EPS was $3.05. The next earnings release is on April 19, with analysts expecting between $0.46 and $0.73. In comparison, Q1 2010 produced $0.52 for non-GAAP EPS. BTU shares also trade with a P/S multiple of 2.6. From 2004 to 2010, those multiples were 1.4, 2.4, 2.1, 3.6, 0.9, 2.0, and 2.5, respectively. Double digit revenue growth and EPS doubling should raise multiples to near 3.0x. The company also has a debt to equity ratio of 0.58. This is an established company, and we believe that it ought to be a part of your portfolio, if you seek to shed some risk. BTU shares trade slightly above our fair value estimate, and we believe it will outperform the market.



Peabody Energy is the world’s largest private-sector coal company and a global leader in clean coal solutions. Peabody fuels 10% of US power and 2 % of worldwide electricity.



Continental Resources (CLR) is up by 5.5%, since the March 15 close. In 2010, revenues grew by 33.99% to $839 million, and GAAP EPS shot up by 135.71% to $0.99.

In comparison, Q1 2010 produced $0.43 and $248.268 million, respectively. Given higher oil and gas prices, we recommend CLR for our readers. However, keep your portfolio diversified. If you already have oil and gas stocks, avoid this. This is a good opportunity for one looking to add oil and gas exposure.



The company is an independent oil and natural gas exploration and production company. It is now the third largest crude oil producer in the Rocky Mountain region, the largest leaseholder and driller in the Bakken Shale and the largest leaseholder in the Anadarko Woodford in Oklahoma, with additional operations in the South and East regions of the US. The company’s exploration activities in large new or developing plays provide the opportunity to acquire undeveloped acreage positions for future drilling operations.



Caterpillar (CAT) is +8.2%, since the March 15 close. In 2010, GAAP EPS jumped by 190.21% to $4.15, after falling by 74.74%. Revenues grew by 31.46% to $42.58 billion, after dropping by 36.88% in 2009. The EBT margin also improved to 8.81% from 1.76%. In 2011, analysts expect non-GAAP EPS to be between $5.49 and $6.90. In 2010, the actual non-GAAP EPS was $4.15. The next earnings release is on April 29, with the Street forecasting between $0.97 and $1.52. In comparison, Q1 2010 produced $0.36. CAT shares trade with a price to sales multiple of 1.7. This is the high multiple, if looking at the period from 2001 to 2010. These shares should be trading 1.5 times sales. The company also has a debt to equity ratio of 1.89. The company is aiming for $8.00 to $12.00 in non-GAAP EPS in 2012, and we believe that it will get there.



Ford (F) is up by 1.3%, since the March 15 close. In 2010, revenues grew by 9% to $128.95 billion, and the EBT margin improved to 5.54% from 2.56%. GAAP EPS increased by 93.02% to $1.66. In 2011, analysts expect non-GAAP EPS to be between $1.15 and $2.25, or a decrease between 39.7% and an increase of 17.8% from $1.91 in 2010. Revenue estimates range between $117.6 billion and $132.3 billion.

The company also has $103.98 billion in long term debt ($19.26 billion for the automotive sector and $85.112 billion for the financial services sector). Ford trades at a significant discount to our fair value estimate. Interested buyers should look at taking a position in shares now.

This level is the highest since the 2005-06 era, when EPS had triple digit percentage increases and revenues grew 20-35%. This company also has a debt to equity ratio of 0.26.

Community Bank System (CBU) is up by 3.6%, since the March 15 close. Revenues grew by 8.61% to $270 million, and GAAP EPS shot up by 50% to $1.89.

We expect the company to post earnings above $0.48. CBU shares trade below our fair value estimate, and we believe that they have plenty of upside. The company is also a prime takeover or merger target. Buy CBU for the long run.



Headquartered in DeWitt, NY, Community Bank System has $6.3 billion in assets and approximately 170 customer facilities across Upstate NY, where it operates as Community Bank, and Northeastern PA, where it is known as First Liberty Bank & Trust.

The next earnings release is on May 2, with the consensus analyst estimate at $0.37. In comparison, the company produced $0.14 for non-GAAP EPS in Q1 2010. Palladium prices remain at high levels, and we expect production growth of 2%. This signals to us that SWC shares are undervalued, and should be a buy for those looking to diversify their mining holdings. SWC should outperform the general market.



Stillwater Mining Company is one of the world’s leading producers of platinum group metals and the only significant primary producer of palladium in the Western Hemisphere. The company’s 28-mile long JM Reef in Montana is the highest grade ore body containing platinum group metals. View the latest company presentation here.
