Android: Handset Makers Are at Google's Mercy	By John Biggs When the Motorola Droid launched this month everyone was amazed that a company so down on its luck was able to put together a well-designed phone running a powerful, “brand new” OS. The whole package – hardware, software, and marketing – seemed flawless. In fact, phones running Android 1.5 now look hopelessly outdated and with 2.0’s gesture, CDMA, and search support you’d wonder why handset manufacturers like HTC, LG, Kyocera, and Samsung are usi...

Skyworks Solutions: Demographics, Innovation Should Drive Revenues Higher	Share prices of most companies in the semiconductor industry have seen significant gains since the March lows, with some shares climbing 100, 200, and even 300 percent. Many of these companies have also experienced significant revenue growth, primarily driven by increased sales with the easing of the recession. In the absence of any major tech boom, revenue growth will undoubtedly slow and the share prices in the industry will likely falter. However, some semiconductor companies will continue...

If This Is a Recovery...	If This is Recovery, Where Are the Taxes? Last Business Standing Stimulus, What Stimulus? The Reality of Unemployment Let the Good Times Roll The Quick Double-Dip Scenario No one goes into Wal-Mart (WMT) and asks to pay extra sales tax. Thus sales taxes are reasonable barometers for retail sales. This week we look at how taxes are doing in a period of economic recovery. Then we turn our eyes to a very interesting (and sobering) analysis of possible future unem...	November 15, 2009
Can Murdoch Shift the Balance of Power in Search from Google?	I’ve mostly been a spectator in this whole Rupert Murdoch de-indexing his news sites from Google (GOOG) circus. First because I didn’t really believe he even knew what he was talking about (or how much traffic he’d lose), and more recently because Erick Schonfeld took the story here at TechCrunch. But suddenly this is a fascinating story to me for a bunch of reasons. This may be less about the self destruction of traditional journalism and more about the search wars....	November 15, 2009
Wuhan General: Stock Worth Noting from the 'Chinese Boneyard'	As you know, I am an intrepid picker in what I call the Chinese boneyard of stocks. FINVIZ currently lists 154 China-based stocks. Pink Sheets lists 145 that trade on the pink sheets.I own this symbol: WUHN, Wuhan General Group. I wrote about them first here, on October 21, 2009. I bought them because I liked the chart, and I liked the space that they were in. Here's a current chart through EOD Friday:...	November 15, 2009
This Week in Videos: Retailers, EADS and Japan	The video clips below provide a handy summary of the reports expected on the economic, financial and corporate front around the globe during the week ahead. US: Retail results, economy in focus Retailers including Home Depot (HD) and Target (TGT) will report results and key economic data will include retail sales and industrial output. Meanwhile, nine speakers from the Federal Reserve will offer their views on the economy....	November 15, 2009
It's Time to Think About Shorting Open Table	Valuation alone is never a reason to short a stock - not even when it is 487 times current earnings. Slowing growth can be a reason for shorting a stock - a momentum stock that goes from a 100% to a 20% growth rate in less than two years. A secondary offering that sells no company shares but insider and private investors shares - is that a warning sign? Or how about a company touting international sales - that equal one million dollars (that is million with an M, not billion with a B)?The compan...	November 15, 2009
NSFW: ‘Tis Pity She’s A Success – Belle de Jour and the Impossibility of Anonymous Blogging	So Belle de Jour was real after all. The Internet’s most famous anonymous sex blogger – turned best-selling author – turned internationally successful TV series – has finally outed herself in the UK’s Sunday Times. And it turns out she’s a character straight from the pages of XKCD. From her interview with the Times’ India Knight, we learn that Belle is in fact Dr Brooke Magnanti a specialist in developmental neurotoxicology and cancer epidemiology who ra...	November 15, 2009
Dollar Weakness and Stock Market Strength -- the Data	Anyone who is following the market on a daily basis is paying attention to the strength of the dollar versus other currencies. It can be confusing. While a strong dollar might seem like a good thing, there is actually an inverse market relationship with stocks -- at least in recent times.I described the basics of the dollar debate here: Understanding the Debate on the Dollar. There are many opinions -- prescriptive, political, and descriptive. The next step is to consider some data.Dol...	November 14, 2009
You Can Go Home Again, Even If It Means Back To Yahoo While Rejecting Google (And Maybe Facebook And Twitter)	This past summer, Daniel Raffel was desired. Google was pushing hard to hire the product manager, we hear from a source. And there are whispers that Twitter and Facebook were also in pursuit of his services. Basically, it seems like he had his choice of the companies in Silicon Valley that everyone wants to work for. So where did he end up? Yahoo. Yahoo hasn’t exactly seemed like the ideal place to work over the past couple of years. Besides just the Microsoft acquisition offer distraction...	November 14, 2009
