Why Seaspan, voxeljet, and Direxion Daily Gold Miners Bull 3x Plunged Today

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over daily movements, we do like to keep an eye on market changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.

The stock market suffered another up-and-down day, again finishing on the losing end as investors saw their fear levels rise dramatically after the Fed's latest minutes were released. With less clarity than ever about the Fed's eventual plans to end its quantitative easing program, investors are justifiably concerned. But big losses for Seaspan (NYSE: SSW  ) , voxeljet (NYSE: VJET  ) , and Direxion Daily Gold Miners Bull 3x (NYSEMKT: NUGT  ) showed how vulnerable some investments are to the uncertainty. Let's look more closely at what happened to push these share prices down.

Hot Warren Buffett Stocks To Buy Right Now

Seaspan fell 10% as the shipping company announced a secondary offering of 3.5 million shares, raising $77 million. The company said it would use the proceeds for purposes that could include acquiring vessels. After a long period of terrible conditions in the shipping industry, Seaspan has started to rebound recently as investors get more optimistic, but it's still too early to tell whether better conditions will last.

For voxeljet, a 32% plunge was the latest in a long series of big moves in both directions since the 3-D printing company came public just last month. Some traders attributed the big move to a report from Citron Research, which included its "realistic price target" for voxeljet of just above $12 per share. With Citron having been involved in several other high-profile short-selling campaigns, momentum investors apparently took the report seriously, although the stock remains above its first-day closing price even after losing more than 40% from its peak levels just two days ago.

Direxion Daily Gold Miners Bull 3x fell 10%, as the Fed minutes prompted a $30-per-ounce drop in the price of gold. For mining stocks, gold's poor performance earlier this year was already enough to create problems, with even major producers Barrick Gold (NYSE: ABX  ) and Goldcorp (NYSE: GG  ) suspending operations or exploration efforts at key properties due to poor market conditions. Precious-metals investors have worried that higher interest rates resulting from the Fed's easing back from its bond purchases could draw investors away from gold, and the leveraged Direxion ETF's performance only magnifies the impact of gold's drop had today.

Eight Big Retailers Open Thanksgiving

Holiday shoppers are expected to spend about 3.9% more this year than they did last year, according to a National Retail Federation estimate. And in order to facilitate the shopping experience, retailers are pulling out all the stops.

Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, has traditionally represented the start of the holiday shopping period. Over the past few years, a kind of arms race has developed among retailers, and stores have opened their doors earlier and earlier each Friday. In fact, Black Friday may soon be a thing of the past. Many of the biggest retailers are even going to open on Thanksgiving Day in an effort to combat a shopping season that is nearly a full week shorter than last year.

It is possible that the earlier opening hours will not have the desired effect. Instead of increasing sales, they could just be pushing the spike in sales forward. Last year, many companies began selling on Thanksgiving for the first time. This reduced sales on Black Friday, and overall holiday spending had its smallest increase since 2009.

Holiday retail sales a year ago were up about 3.5% from the year before, despite the longer shopping hours. In 2011, they were up 5.6% over 2010. These figures certainly make it harder to argue that more Thanksgiving hours provide any boost in overall holiday sales.

Here is our rundown of opening hours at eight top retailers for the Thanksgiving-Black Friday weekend.

McDonald's 3rd Quarter: Why Investors Aren't Lovin' It

Fast-food colossus McDonald's (NYSE: MCD  ) reported third-quarter earnings this morning, and it proved to be a mixed bag. Investors bid the stock down at the open, but shares have mostly recovered since.

McDonald's earnings per share topped estimates, but revenue came in below what analysts were expecting. As Motley Fool analyst Jason Moser sees it, it was a middling report. Performance in Asia was less than stellar, and the company's forward guidance was also uninspiring.

Jason believes that one of McDonald's biggest challenges comes from secular changes in consumers' eating habits. The company is trying to address changing food-consumption habits by putting an increased emphasis on somewhat healthier items like salads. But McDonald's doesn't see strong sales for those items.

Jason sees McDonald's as an income investor play. The stock has a 3.4% dividend yield, and it holds a coveted position on the S&P 500's Dividend Aristocrats list.

Morgan Stanley suffers big client asset loss in 3Q as advisers split

Bloomberg

Morgan Stanley Wealth Management, the nation's largest brokerage by adviser head count, lost $8.4 billion in client assets during the third quarter, as some of its major producers took their business to competing firms.

In the three-month period ended Sept. 30, the average assets under management of advisers who moved also jumped nearly 25% from the previous year, to $402.2 million, according to preliminary data from InvestmentNews' Advisers on the Move database.

The breakdown of Morgan Stanley's reported 3Q adviser exits.

The IN database on adviser movement is not exhaustive, as firms only report a portion of the advisers they recruit and none disclose advisers who leave. Generally speaking, the moves of advisers with small books of businesses are not tracked by the data, and advisers do not necessarily take all of their business to the new firm.

But the data indicate continued recruiting challenges for Morgan Stanley, which completed its acquisition of Citigroup Inc.'s Smith Barney unit earlier this year. Morgan's wealth management division lost a net 11 adviser teams in the third quarter, the most of any firm tracked by IN.

Four of the 10 largest departures from Morgan Stanley in the third quarter were to other wirehouses. Three teams managing $7.9 billion in assets moved to UBS Financial Services Inc., while a $1 billion team in the New York area switched to Wells Fargo Advisors LLC.

Morgan Stanley had 16,321 advisers and $1.8 trillion in assets at the end of the second quarter, according to the company's regulatory filings, making it the largest wirehouse by advisers and the second largest by assets.

“In my case, it was a personal choice,” said Elaina S. Spilove, who oversaw $2.5 billion in assets at Morgan before moving to UBS. “I'd rather be one of 7,000 than one of 17,000; much more hands-on management.”

Christine Jockle, a spokeswoman for Morgan Stanley Wealth Management, said the firm's attrition is at a near-historic lows and average revenue at an all-time high. She said the IN data does not include the number of advisers who joined the firm who did not want to disclose their data publicly. She declined to elaborate on how the firm calculates attrition or to provide an overall number of unreported assets that have come into the firm.

Morgan did add some major advisers last quarter. Robert Finan and Anthony LaFonte, who managed $400 million, left Bank of America Merrill Lynch to join the firm in Red Bank, N.J., and Scott Siegel moved his New York City-based SKOC team, which! managed $1.5 billion, from J.P. Morgan Securities LLC.

But high-profile losses, particularly $4.8 billion adviser John F. Rasweiler's moving to UBS in Florham Park, N.J., appeared to offset Morgan's recruitment successes last quarter.

“They are a firm under siege,” said Danny Sarch, an industry recruiter who has been critical of Morgan Stanley. “The smaller, non-wirehouses have preyed on them very successfully.”

Danny Sarch asks where is the next generation of adviser going to come from?

Robert Alpert moved his namesake firm, which includes three other advisers, to a Woodbury, N.Y., branch of Wells Fargo Advisors last week after being affiliated with Morgan Stanley since its 2009 merger with his previous firm, Smith Barney.

He said Morgan's increased fees were a burden for his smaller and intermediate-sized clients.

“We felt that, philosophically, the client was not being put first,” Mr. Alpert said.

In a statement, Ms. Jockle said Morgan Stanley's former advisers, “who always forget to mention the big checks they took to leave,” will put their spin on events.

Morgan Stanley on Oct. 18 will announce its third-quarter earnings, which will give a broader picture of their overall recruitment levels.

Bank of America Merrill Lynch, the nation's largest wirehouse by assets, gained seven large teams last quarter, but the size of the four teams who left the firm in the same quarter caused a net loss of some $555 million in client assets, according to the data.

In one major deal, the $500 million Guth-Fordyce team in New Haven, Conn., left Merrill for Snowden Capital Advisors LLC, a firm launched last year by two former Merrill executives.

Wells Fargo, the third largest brokerage, netted three advisers and $1.5 billion in new assets.

UBS, the smallest of the four wirehouses by assets and advisers, gained $6.8 billion in assets despite adviser head counts remaining stable. Those gains were driven by attracting three big teams from Morgan St! anley: Mr! . Rasweiler; Ms. Spilove, in Princeton, N.J., who focuses on institutional clients; and the husband-and-wife duo of Bruce and Bernadette Lanser, who managed $600 million in Milwaukee. The total between those three teams is $7.9 billion.

The strong asset totals are based on a strategic choice by UBS to focus its recruitment efforts on wealthier advisers, an executive from the brokerage said.

“One of the criteria that we look at is that the [financial adviser] has a significant portion of their book in high-net-worth and ultrahigh-net-worth clients,” said Paul Santucci, head of national sales for UBS. “We focus on the best [financial advisers] in their respective marketplaces.”

UBS is the fourth-largest wirehouse

3 Stocks That Blew the Market Away

Don't settle for ordinary quarterly reports.

Every week, I take a look at three companies that beat market expectations, since I believe that it's the biggest factor in a stock beating the market. Leaving Wall Street's pros with stunned expressions can be a good thing. It usually means that the companies have more in the tank than analysts figured. Capital appreciation typically follows.

Let's take a look at a few companies that humbled the pros over the past few trading days.

We can start with Ciena (NASDAQ: CIEN  ) . The optical networking solutions provider was supposed to post a small loss in its latest quarter, but the shares closed out the week hitting a fresh 52-week high after surprising investors with a modest profit of $0.02 a share. With revenue growing and gross margins widening, Ciena is sneaking up on naysayers who figured that optical networking wasn't anywhere close to staging a turnaround. Ciena's rosy near-term outlook is also encouraging, with its revenue target for the current quarter perched well above what analysts were forecasting.

It wasn't a surprise to see Ciena's stock soar 18% higher on the week after its impressive report.

Bazaarvoice (NASDAQ: BV  ) was another big winner, soaring 27% higher on the week after posting better-than-expected financial results. Bazaarvoice's adjusted net loss of $0.12 a share was slightly better than the $0.13 a share in red ink that the pros were projecting.

Bazaarvoice gives brands and retailers the ability to act on social online data, but it's been a harder sell for investors. Even after last week's pop, the stock is trading well below last year's IPO of $12 a share. It's a shame because Bazaarvoice's popularity as a platform is growing. Revenue has climbed 38% over the past year. Bazaarvoice has also beaten Wall Street's bottom-line estimates every single quarter since going public.

Finally, we have Hovnanian (NYSE: HOV  ) taking a page out of the Ciena playbook by posting a small profit when the market was bracing itself for a quarterly deficit. The homebuilder's return to profitability comes after posting back-to-back quarterly losses.

Hovnanian is benefiting from the welcome tailwinds currently aiding the housing industry. It's been able to raise prices -- new contracts for homes during the quarter rose 10%, but the value of those deals spiked 22% -- as low mortgage rates and an improving economy are turning renters into buyers again.

Show Me the Money, Multi-Fineline Electronix

Although business headlines still tout earnings numbers, many investors have moved past net earnings as a measure of a company's economic output. That's because earnings are very often less trustworthy than cash flow, since earnings are more open to manipulation based on dubious judgment calls.

Earnings' unreliability is one of the reasons Foolish investors often flip straight past the income statement to check the cash flow statement. In general, by taking a close look at the cash moving in and out of the business, you can better understand whether the last batch of earnings brought money into the company, or merely disguised a cash gusher with a pretty headline.

Calling all cash flows
When you are trying to buy the market's best stocks, it's worth checking up on your companies' free cash flow once a quarter or so, to see whether it bears any relationship to the net income in the headlines. That's what we do with this series. Today, we're checking in on Multi-Fineline Electronix (Nasdaq: MFLX  ) , whose recent revenue and earnings are plotted below.

Source: S&P Capital IQ. Data is current as of last fully reported fiscal quarter. Dollar values in millions. FCF = free cash flow. FY = fiscal year. TTM = trailing 12 months.

Over the past 12 months, Multi-Fineline Electronix burned $5.3 million cash while it booked a net loss of $11.7 million. That means it burned through all its revenue and more. That doesn't sound so great.

All cash is not equal
Unfortunately, the cash flow statement isn't immune from nonsense, either. That's why it pays to take a close look at the components of cash flow from operations, to make sure that the cash flows are of high quality. What does that mean? To me, it means they need to be real and replicable in the upcoming quarters, rather than being offset by continual cash outflows that don't appear on the income statement (such as major capital expenditures).

For instance, cash flow based on cash net income and adjustments for non-cash income-statement expenses (like depreciation) is generally favorable. An increase in cash flow based on stiffing your suppliers (by increasing accounts payable for the short term) or shortchanging Uncle Sam on taxes will come back to bite investors later. The same goes for decreasing accounts receivable; this is good to see, but it's ordinary in recessionary times, and you can only increase collections so much. Finally, adding stock-based compensation expense back to cash flows is questionable when a company hands out a lot of equity to employees and uses cash in later periods to buy back those shares.

So how does the cash flow at Multi-Fineline Electronix look? Take a peek at the chart below, which flags questionable cash flow sources with a red bar.

Hot Growth Stocks For 2014

Source: S&P Capital IQ. Data is current as of last fully reported fiscal quarter. Dollar values in millions. TTM = trailing 12 months.

When I say "questionable cash flow sources," I mean items such as changes in taxes payable, tax benefits from stock options, and asset sales, among others. That's not to say that companies booking these as sources of cash flow are weak, or are engaging in any sort of wrongdoing, or that everything that comes up questionable in my graph is automatically bad news. But whenever a company is getting more than, say, 10% of its cash from operations from these dubious sources, investors ought to make sure to refer to the filings and dig in.

With questionable cash flows amounting to only 3.2% of operating cash flow, Multi-Fineline Electronix's cash flows look clean. Within the questionable cash flow figure plotted in the TTM period above, stock-based compensation and related tax benefits provided the biggest boost, at 6.0% of cash flow from operations. Overall, the biggest drag on FCF came from capital expenditures.

A Foolish final thought
Most investors don't keep tabs on their companies' cash flow. I think that's a mistake. If you take the time to read past the headlines and crack a filing now and then, you're in a much better position to spot potential trouble early. Better yet, you'll improve your odds of finding the underappreciated home-run stocks that provide the market's best returns.

Fortune hails Tesla's Elon Musk as next Steve Jobs

Fortune magazine has named Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk as its Businessperson of the Year. But what's more surprising is a well-reasoned comparison of Musk to the late Apple CEO Steve Jobs.

The article refers to their "shared genius."

It's not just that Musk and Jobs are "serial disrupters," among those who think differently and can create huge change within an otherwise relatively stale industry. It's that they think big.

They don't just figure out how to develop single products, but mull how those products will fit into a larger "ecosystem." It's about an entire system. "Most innovation is like a new melody. For Jobs and Musk it's the whole symphony," writes Chris Anderson in the story.

In fact, he asserts Musk is having a bigger impact on the world than Jobs ever did. SpaceX has found a way to slash the cost of rocket launches and Tesla could become the first successful large-scale automotive startup in decades.

While Musk is leading the electric car revolution, his brilliance isn't just about giant things, but the nuances -- such as something as simple as a door handle.

Musk really wanted outside door handles on the Model S that sensed a driver walking up to the car and extended out. It was a devilishly hard engineering problem, since they handles need to work thousands of times in all kinds of weather. Engineers didn't want to do it, but Musk push and they got it done.

Anderson quotes Musk as saying, "There were numerous conversations where I had pushback from the engineers. And it's not like they were saying, 'Oh, this is a challenge.' More like, 'This is the stupidest thing ever.' But we did it in the end, and yes, I think it's cool -- one of the car's signature features."

We'll Have Flying Cars in 3 Years, but Not Like 'The Jetsons'

TerrafugiaTerrafugia's first flying car model, the Transition. The term "flying car" brings to mind images from "The Jetsons" and "Blade Runner," where the skies are crowded with vehicles and the average driver spends more time aloft than on the ground. That reality remains in the distant future, but it's hardly unimaginable. Real flying cars should be on the market in the next few years, but the first wave will be designed for pilots who sometimes want to drive -- not ordinary drivers who want to fly above traffic. The Driving Plane

Leading the way is Terrafugia, founded in 2006 by five MIT-trained engineers, all of them pilots. In an interview, co-founder and CEO Carl Dietrich said they started off by identifying the biggest problems with flying as a hobby. They came up with four, he said:

Small aircraft can't fly in bad weather. For multi-day trips, that means taking the risk that you may not be able to get home if a storm crops up. It takes a lot of money to own a plane. Beyond the purchase price, there's jet fuel and the cost of safely storing the plane at an airport. It can take awhile to travel from one's home to the airport. That's time when you can't be in the air. Options for ground transportation tend to be limited or non-existent at the small airports used by private aircraft, so once you land somewhere, it's hard to keep going on the ground.

These are all serious limits to the practicality and enjoyment of flying as a hobby. And they're solved by Terrafugia's first model, the Transition. The Transition is a small aircraft whose wings can fold up so it can drive on the road. Its price is comparable to that of other small planes, but Dietrich says the cost of ownership will be significantly reduced. It uses automotive gasoline, so more expensive aviation fuel isn't necessary. It's efficient: Flying at 100 mph, it gets an outstanding 20 miles per gallon. Plenty of cars get the same rate at significantly lower speeds. Terrafugia says that on the ground, the Transition gets 35 mpg, also impressive. With the wings folded, it can fit in the average garage, so there's no more need to pay to keep it at an airport. The ground transportation problem is solved, since you just drive it home after landing. If the weather's bad, you don't have to fly. Just drive instead. Terrafugia isn't the only company in this market, and there's more than one way to get a car in the air. The Flying Motorcycle

Best Warren Buffett Companies To Watch For 2014

PAL-VThe PAL-V ONE in driving mode.

Dutch company PAL-V was founded in 2001. Unlike the Transition, the three-wheeled PAL-V ONE is more motorcycle than car, and more helicopter than plane. But it still drives and flies. It's actually a gyrocopter (also called an autogyro), which uses an engine-powered propeller to create thrust and an unpowered rotor to create lift. Slower than a helicopter, it's also simpler to fly. PAL-V CEO Robert Dingemanse said it's easy to learn to use, and there's no real risk of stalling. Unlike the Transition, the PAL-V ONE can avoid airports altogether, thanks to short takeoff and landing capability. It flies at a max speed of 112 mph and stays below 4,000 feet, out of commercial airspace. Common Ground Despite their different designs, the Transition and the PAL-V ONE have a lot in common in how they will be used. The PAL-V One started "more as a driving airplane than flying car," Dingemanse said, and the key customer is the person who already knows how to fly. The vehicle will remain a "very small part of the car market for a long time," Dingemanse said. Terrafugia's Dietrich agreed that the Transition will be used more as a driving plane than a flying car, but said he sees a market beyond existing pilots. It is "mostly for pilots today," he said, but it's an obvious way to bring more people into aviation. The company has taken over 100 deposits for the Transition, each for $10,000. Of those customers, a quarter are not pilots. Serious Hurdles

TerrafugiaWith its wings folded, the Transition can fit in the average garage.

Both Terrafugia and PAL-V ONE have solved the basic technological challenges of building a vehicle that drives and flies capably, as their testing proves. But there's a large gap between developing that technology and bringing it to market, especially in the U.S. and Europe, where the auto and aviation industries are carefully and heavily regulated.

Although both vehicles can fly, each has several more years of testing and development before any customers can take them for a spin.

The current transition is a second generation prototype, and is being used for flight testing. The third generation will be used for crash testing, and misuse testing (like driving on cobblestones). The Terrafugia will make tweaks based on the results, build a conforming prototype, and repeat the initial flight testing. That should all be done in two and a half to three years, Dietrich said. All told, the process will have taken a decade. PAL-V is on a similar schedule. The company has a proof of concept, and now there's a "lot of engineering work" to do, Dingemanse said. He expects deliveries to begin in late 2015 or early 2016. Both are serious projects that have already well on their way to certification. Terrafugia has received a key weight exemption from the FAA, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration allowed it to bypass a few regulations that would delay development but not impact safety. The PAL-V, which is backed partly by the Dutch government, is classified as a motorbike, not a car. That gives the company "much more freedom in design," Dingemanse said, partly because European auto safety standards are especially strict. Filling The Skies

PAL-V The PAL-V ONE in flight.

If these vehicles are really designed to make pilots' lives easier, when will we get to a point where the average driver gets to fly? We're nowhere near life in "The Jetsons" or "Blade Runner," but we're headed in the right direction. Terrafugia and PAL-V ONE are serious companies with products we expect to see make it to market, if in limited numbers. From there, it's a question of improving the technology (largely to make flying easier than it is now), ramping up production, getting people interested, updating regulations, and building infrastructure. That's a lot of work, but it's been done before. The auto and aviation industries were both in their infancy a century ago. Now we have millions of cars on the road and 30,000 daily flights in the U.S. Terrafugia is already working on a second model, the TF-X, which will take off and land vertically, and fly at 200 mph. Dietrich says customers could learn to operate it in just five hours, though regulatory changes will be needed to make it available. Some technologies and capabilities that autonomous flying cars will depend on are included in the Next Generation Air Transportation System, which is being slowly implemented by the FAA, Dingemanse explained.

  1. SodaStream will close higher on the week
  It's time for SodaStream (NASDAQ: SODA  ) to get busy with the fizzy. Shares of the Israeli company behind the popular beverage-making appliance soared earlier this summer when it became the subject of buyout chatter. The rumors have subsided, but now the stock is trading for less than it was when the frenzy began.

  2. SodaStream (NASDAQ: SODA  )
  The Israeli company behind the namesake soda-making system has made a big splash in the U.S. in recent years, but it's been toiling away in the U.K. for decades.

  Briefly in the news
  And now let's take a quick look at some of the other stories that shaped our week.

  8x8 (NASDAQ: EGHT  ) moved higher after posting better-than-expected revenue growth in its latest quarter. The provider of PBX telephony, video conferencing, and other Web-based communication services did miss on the bottom line, but it was still another period of margin expansion and explosive earnings growth. SodaStream (NASDAQ: SODA  ) popped to a fresh 52-week high last week after its well-received Analyst Day, but an analyst this week was feeling more flat than fizz on the company behind the carbonated beverage maker system. J.P. Morgan downgraded the stock but also boosted its price target from $56 to $70 to keep pace with the bubbly share price. Tesla Motors (NASDAQ: TSLA  ) continues to do all of the right things. The electric-car maker on Wednesday wired a payment that zeroes out the federal loan it received four years ago. Tesla claims to be the first American company to fully repay its government loan, but Chrysler disputed the claim. Take it outside, you two.

Hot Blue Chip Companies To Own For 2014

After a tumultuous two days, the markets calmed down today, seeming to come to terms with the Fed's announcement that it's bond-buying program could end within a year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI  ) gained 41 points, the first session in nine that it's had less than a 100-point swing, finishing up 0.3%. The recovery, coming after yesterday's bloodbath, seemed to indicate that there was still bullish sentiment among investors, as there were no economic reports released today to further influence investors. Notably, a Wall Street Journal report said the Fed's taper may not come as soon as expected, which also helped stocks recover. Treasury rates continued to claim as the 10-year T-Note yield rose again, hitting 2.51%. The rising yield could put pressure on the housing market by pushing up mortgage rates.

Leading all Dow stocks today was Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG  ) , gaining 2.9%. There was no major news out on the consumer goods giant today, but on Wednesday, the company announced a new partnership with fashion designer Alexander McQueen, wherein its P&G Prestige division will produce and sell designer fragrances under the Alexander McQueen label. P&G may also be benefiting today form its position as a defensive stock, as any slowdown in the economy from the Fed's taper will affect it less than other blue chips. Coca-Cola, another defensive stock, was the Dow's second-biggest gainer, moving up 1.6%.

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Tamara Rutter]

  McDonald's (NYSE: MCD  ) is already a household name in about 118 countries around the world. However, the stock has been under pressure lately because of dismal sales projections for the restaurant industry at large. In fact, sales at fast-food restaurants such as McDonald's are estimated to grow less than 4% over the next 10 years, according to The New York Times. Yet, despite this tough environment, McDonald's stock could prove the bears wrong, thanks to rising comps and fresh menu innovations.

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Dan Caplinger]

  Still, IBM (NYSE: IBM  ) has shown that such a transformation can be done. The former hardware giant has done a stellar job of moving into higher-margin server and IT services businesses. In particular, by focusing itself on the big-data needs of businesses seeking to mine voluminous amounts of information for business-enhancing knowledge, IBM managed to get an early jump on its similarly sized competitors and remain at the forefront of innovation in tech.

• [By Dan Caplinger]

  The Dow suffered greater losses than the overall market largely because of the influence of IBM (NYSE: IBM  ) , which fell 2.6%. Rival Accenture (NYSE: ACN  ) , which is the major competitor against IBM in the lucrative information-technology consulting business, gave reduced guidance for full-year results when it reported earnings last night. Pointing to weakness in its consulting business, Accenture cut the midpoint of its earnings forecast range by about 2% and pushed down its expected range for revenue growth to just 3% to 4%. Accenture fell 13% on the news, but investors concluded that prospects for the entire industry were weak and therefore bid IBM down in sympathy. Since IBM's share price is by far the largest in the Dow, the loss had a big overall impact on the entire average.

• [By Jim Jubak]

  This quarter, big economic bellwether stocks such as IBM (IBM) and Kellogg (K) have shown signs that the days of being able to use stock buybacks and cost cutting to generate growth in earnings per share, even when revenue isn't growing, may be numbered. Or, at least, that the market's enthusiasm might be waning.

• [By Dan Burrows]

  Rival Colgate-Palmolive (CL) has different concerns, namely sluggishness in emerging markets where it enjoys commanding market share and derives more than half its revenue.

• [By Dividend Growth Investor]

  In a previous article, I outlined that it is getting more difficult to find quality dividend paying stocks to buy. Most of the usual suspects like Kimberly-Clark (KMB) or Colgate-Palmolive (CL) are very overvalued today, which prevents me from adding to my positions there. Other companies like Chevron (CVX) are attractively valued today, but unfortunately my portfolio is overweight in them. Currently I find the oil sector to be cheap and have some of the lowest P/E ratios in the market. However, I would hate to be concentrated in one sector which is exposed to the fluctuating prices in its commodity products.

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Jonas Elmerraji]

  Surprisingly, one of the names that's correlating the highest with the S&P 500 right now is oil and gas supermajor Chevron (CVX). Just like the S&P, Chevron is trading in a very well-defined trend channel. The key difference is that the Chevron trade is further along; this stock is bouncing off of trendline support this week. That means it's time to be a buyer.

  Commodities and materials stocks are seeing some buoyancy this week, but Chevron's price action is different -- it's been more sustained over the course of 2013. This stock's proximity to trendline support right now makes it the best-in-breed oil name in my view. As geopolitical risks propel oil prices, the real story at CVX is the fact that support is just a few points away. That makes Chevron a great setup from a risk management perspective.

  Speaking of risk management, if you decide to jump into shares here, I'd recommend keeping a protective stopprotective stop just above the 200-day moving average.

  Dow movers
  Oil has been on quite the run over the past two days. Yesterday, light crude rose 3.25% and today it was up 1.72%. Not surprising, the Dow's big oil companies also moved higher. Shares of Chevron (NYSE: CVX  ) closed the day higher by 1.19%, while ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM  ) moved higher by 1.57%. Today's moves followed yesterday's performance when Chevron increased by 1.47% and Exxon by 1.28%. While the two have recently been moving in line with each other, year to date Chevron is up more than 14% while Exxon has only increased by a little more than 4%. A number of analysts have stated that they believe Chevron will outperform Exxon over the next five years, and so far their predictions look good.�

FCC Chairman: Cellphone Calls on Planes Up to Each Airline

Top 10 Blue Chip Companies To Buy Right Now

Getty Images WASHINGTON -- As one part of the U.S. government looks to remove restrictions on making phone calls from airplanes, another agency is apparently considering its own prohibition. Federal Communications Commission Chairman Thomas Wheeler told members of Congress that while his agency sees no technical reason to ban calls on planes, Department of Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx told him Thursday morning that the DOT will be moving forward with its own restrictions. Wheeler called his proposal to rescind the ban "the responsible thing to do." Calls have been prohibited for 22 years over fears that they would interfere with cellular networks on the ground. Technological advances had resolved those concerns. "When the rationale for a rule doesn't exist, the rule shouldn't exist," Wheeler told members of the House Communications and Technology Subcommittee during his 39th day in office. Wheeler said he has called the chief executives of major airlines, telling them that the government isn't requiring them to allow calls. Ultimately, the decision will rest with individual airlines. "I understand the consternation caused by the thought of your onboard seatmate disturbing the flight making phone calls. I do not want the person in the seat next to me yapping at 35,000 feet any more than anyone else," Wheeler said. "But we are not the Federal Courtesy Commission." The DOT, which includes the Federal Aviation Administration, wasn't immediately available for comment. The FCC proposal comes just weeks after the Federal Aviation Administration lifted its ban on using personal electronic devices such as iPads and Kindles below 10,000 feet, saying they don't interfere with cockpit instruments. An Associated Press-GfK poll released Wednesday found that 48 percent of Americans oppose allowing cellphones to be used for voice calls while flying; just 19 percent support it. Another 30 percent are neutral. Among those who fly, opposition is stronger. Looking just at Americans who have taken more than one flight in the past year, 59 percent are against allowing calls on planes. That number grows to 78 percent among those who have taken four or more flights. Delta Air Lines (DAL) is the only airline to explicitly state that it won't allow voice calls. Delta says years of feedback from customers show "the overwhelming sentiment" is to keep the ban in place. American Airlines (AAL), United Airlines (UAL) and JetBlue Airways (JBLU) all plan to study the issue and listen to feedback from passengers and crew. Most Middle East airlines and a few in Asia and Europe already allow voice calls on planes. Southwest Airlines on Wednesday started allowing passengers to use iPhones to send and receive text messages while on board for $2 a day. The largest U.S. flight attendant union opposes a change, saying cellphone use could lead to fights between passengers. The Telecommunications Industry Association, the cell phone providers' trade and lobbying group, is in support of the change. The association notes that in other countries that allow phone use, calls typically last one to two minutes and only a handful of people are using their phones at the same time. Additionally, many of the calls involve checking voicemail, with no speaking by the passenger.

Japan stocks extend losses, with electronics down

LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) -- Japanese stocks opened lower Thursday, as gains for the yen and losses for Wall Street conspired to drive the Nikkei Stock Average (JP:NIK) down 1.2% to 15,333.35, extending Wednesday's 0.6% loss. The Topix fell 0.7%, with the U.S. dollar (USDJPY) slipping to 102.46 yen, down from around ¥102.80 at the start of the previous session, but off its lows in late Wednesday trade. Electronics firms and other techs helped lead the loss, with Sony Corp. (JP:6758) (SNE) falling 1.4%, Nikon Corp. (JP:7731) (NINOF) off 2.4%, and Alps Electric Co. (JP:6770) 1.8% lower. The Nikkei Asian Review reported Thursday that Japan looked set to post its first trade deficit for electronics goods this year. Shares of Yahoo Japan Corp. (JP:4689) (YAHOF) lost 1.4%, even as Bloomberg reported the firm was offering its stake in market-research firm Macromill Inc. (JP:3730) to U.S. private-equity firm Bain Capital at a premium to its most recent close. Shares of Macromill were untraded. Among gainers, Nippon Telegraph & Telephone Corp. (JP:9432) (NTT) rose 2.1%, following a 1.1% gain for its U.S.-listed shares.

Teen Retailers: Trouble in Paradise?

Popular Posts: 6 High-Yield Bank Stocks to Buy Now4 Big, Safe Dividend Plays for the Long Haul3 Best ETF Investments for Growth Stocks Recent Posts: Teen Retailers: Trouble in Paradise? Why Lululemon Stock Could Get Crushed On Earnings 4 Big, Safe Dividend Plays for the Long Haul View All Posts

Teen retail is having a brutal year. Revenues, profits and stock prices have all been hit hard. Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF), Aeropostale (ARO) and American Eagle Outfitters (AEO) have seen their stock prices drop by 25%, 30% and 19%, respectively, through Dec. 5.

What the heck is going on?

Is it possible that Zara, Forever 21 and H&M have permanently stolen their thunder? Can ANF, ARO and AEO get their mojo back? I'll look at all the possible scenarios facing all three teen retailers in a very competitive teen market. By the end you'll know if any are worth owning.

Teen Market Changing

Teens seem to be going anywhere where clothing innovation has a pulse, and lately, that hasn’t been the major teen retailers. Wendy Liebmann, CEO of WSL Strategic Retail says it best in a CNBC article from August: "There isn't a lot of innovative clothing out there for anyone, and there are plenty of other places to buy clothes if you want."

Consider Gap (GPS) for a moment. It was stuck in a major rut until 2012 when structural changes implemented by CEO Glenn Murphy and his team delivered better merchandise leading to same-store sales growth in seven consecutive quarters through the end of October. Since the end of 2011, Gap's stock has doubled in value, compared to a 49% gain for the SPDR S&P 500 (SPY). Retail is a cyclical game. Some analysts are downgrading GPS stock, figuring a slowdown is ahead despite the fact its November comps were much better than analyst expectations. Gap stock will be fine.

And Gap’s not alone. As mentioned previously, Zara, Forever 21 and H&M have all seen revenues increase at the expense of teen retailers like Aeropostale who've been forced to sell more expensive fashionable items, moving away from its traditional logo business. Firms like Japan's Uniglo continue to innovate their way into American pocket books. By 2020 Uniglo expects to have 200 stores open, most of which will be quite a bit smaller than its 89,000 square-foot 5th Avenue shop but still doing plenty of business.

When you take all the new retail options available in the U.S. from other parts of the world and combine this with an insatiable demand by teens for electronics, it's obvious that something had to give — unfortunately, the 3A's suffer the brunt of these changes.

Faint Hope

InvestorPlace’s Kyle Woodley believes ANF's best option right now is to let CEO Michael Jeffries contract expire at the beginning of February and turn the page on a tumultuous 25-year run. That's not a new idea, but this time there's enough ammunition to give institutional investors like Engaged Capital the rope they need to finish the job.

Top Financial Stocks To Invest In 2014

Jeffries has two failed brands on his watch — Ruehl and Gilly Hicks — along with an international expansion that Belus Capital Advisors' Brian Sozzi believes has been far too aggressive. If any company needed to fix itself away from the bright lights of Wall Street, Abercrombie would be it. Jeffries has to go, and the company must be taken private before anything changes at ANF. This brand is too strong to wade aimlessly.

Meanwhile, ARO stock has dropped by almost a third in 2013 for good reason — its business is in disarray. Its Q3 report produced a loss of 29 cents per share — five cents worse than analyst expectations, along with a 15% decline in same-store sales. In the fourth quarter, it expects to lose at least 24 cents per share, double what analysts were expecting.

The Fly on the Wall reports that BMO Capital Markets sees ARO stock price providing good long-term value. I tend to agree. ARO’s stock hasn't consistently traded below $10 since 2005. CEO Thomas Johnson has significant experience at several retailers other than ARO, so I wouldn't be surprised if this teen retailer was making money once again in 2014.

Lastly, there's American Eagle. AEO stock delivered Q3 earnings December 6, that while bad, were still positive, unlike Aeropostale. Adjusted earnings per share of 19 cents met analyst estimates. In Q4 AEO expects EPS between 26 cents to 30 cents, well below the 39-cent consensus estimate. While it's currently having a hard time coping with the highly promotional retail environment teen retailers are facing, there are signs its future will brighten. AEO announced in its earnings release that its new chief merchandising officer is Chad Kessler, former head of merchandising for Urban Outfitters' (URBN) namesake brand who also spent 16 years in various positions with Abercrombie.

Kessler should be a welcome addition. Also lost in the bad news is a 17% increase in same-store sales growth for its online business. In 2012, AEO generated approximately $476 million in e-commerce revenue and looks to do  more than $500 million in fiscal 2013. Of the trio, AEO stock looks like the best of the teen retailers for the long haul. With today's drop, investors should be considering pulling the trigger.

Bottom Line

If you're looking to own one of these teen retailers long-term, the smartest bet in my opinion is AEO stock. Despite moving through some very choppy waters, it has the best business of the bunch.

As of this writing, Will Ashworth did not own a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

Week's Winners & Losers: Apple Goes to China; Microsoft Gets Spurned

Alamy Companies can make brilliant moves, but there are also times when things don't work out quite as planned. From a software giant's dream CEO candidate telling them to keep dreaming, to the world's consumer tech leader at last getting its smartphone into the hands of the world's largest wireless carrier, here's a rundown of the week's best and worst results in the business world. Amazon.com (AMZN) -- Winner The leading online retailer was a loser in last week's column after its reputation took a hit in Europe. But it bounced back this week after Jeff Bezos went on "60 Minutes" Sunday and offered up a future of drone-shipped deliveries. We need to be realistic. A fleet of unmanned drones delivering shiny new Kindle Fire tablets isn't going to happen anytime soon. However, Bezos has once again positioned Amazon.com on the leading edge of e-tail. The maneuver got the media talking about Amazon, and that's free advertising during peak shopping season -- even if the drones never land on your doorstep. J.C. Penney (JCP) -- Loser The struggling department store chain can't seem to catch a break. It had initially encouraged investors by posting a 10.1 percent improvement in comparable-store sales for the month of November -- only the chain's second positive month since the end of 2011. However, investors lost their enthusiasm when comparing that showing to the nearly 32 percent plunge in comparable-store sales during last year's holiday quarter. In short, J.C. Penney still has a long way to go. Things got even more complicated on Thursday when the retailer revealed that it had received a letter of inquiry from the SEC. The trading regulator wants to take a closer look at J.C. Penney's liquidity and financial statements. It's just an inquiry, but it only creates more uncertainty. Chinese Internet Stocks -- Winners Investing in China's expanding Internet naturally carries a fair amount of political risk, but the world's most populous nation became a bit more attractive this week when it approved the rollout of its first commercial 4G wireless network. China's move from 3G to the faster 4G led to a boost in the shares of several Internet stocks, particularly the ones with popular streaming video websites including Youku Tudou (YOKU) and Sohu.com (SOHU). Sohu also announced a deal to stream popular Nickelodeon shows for free in China, a move that should benefit Sohu and Nickelodeon parent Viacom (VIA). Yes, "SpongeBob SquarePants" is about to get dubbed into Mandarin. Microsoft (MSFT) -- Loser Ford (F) head Alan Mulally had been at the top of the public's wish list to be Microsoft's next CEO, but reports this week find Mulally claiming he will stay at the automaker through at least the end of 2014. It may not play out that way. Microsoft has the resources to make anyone consider its offers. However, if Microsoft settles for Stephen Elop or any other internal hire at a time when the software giant is so clearly in need of an outsider to carve a new path, the market's not going to like it. Apple (AAPL) -- Winner The consumer tech giant's stock hit a new 52-week high this week after The Wall Street Journal reported that a deal would be announced later this month to have China Mobile (CHL), the world's largest wireless carrier, offer the iPhone. China Mobile had 759.3 million mobile customers at the end of October. Yes, that's a big number, and most of them are using older feature phones. China Mobile could quickly become Apple's biggest iPhone customer.

Contrarian Shopping among Retailers

A number of securities saw notable increases in short interest during the most recent reporting period, including two retailers that have been technical standouts and could ultimately benefit from this growing skepticism, observes Terri Stridsberg, contributing analyst with Schaeffer Investment Research.

Men's Wearhouse (MW) has been an outperformer, boasting a year-to-date advance of about 65% to trade at $51.41.

In fact, the security reached its own multi-year peak of $52.72 just last week, after the specialty retailer made a bid for rival Jos. A. Bank Clothiers (JOSB).

Nevertheless, MW saw a 37.1% surge in short interest during the first half of November, and now these shorted shares make up a healthy 7.3% of the security's float.

In other words, should the stock remain northbound, it could end up benefiting from a wave of short-covering activity.

The TJX Companies (TJX) has gained around 49% so far this year, to wink at the $63.28 level, while also tagging a record high of $64.09 on November 21, thanks to a well-received quarterly earnings report.

Nevertheless, short interest rose by 39.3% during the latest reporting period, bringing the number of shares sold short to 9.4 million—the most since early April.

If the stock continues along its upward trajectory, it could spark a mass exodus by the bears, which may add even more fuel to TJX's technical tank.

Bearish sentiment toward the discount retailer is also prevalent in the options pits; speculators have been scooping up puts over calls at a faster-than-usual clip lately.

Similarly, TJX's Schaeffer's put/call open interest ratio shows puts outweighing calls among options with a shelf-life of three months or less.

This accumulation of open interest—particularly at the out-of-the-money December 62.50 strike—could end up serving as options-related support over the next few weeks.

GenCorp Subsidiary Lands Air Force Nuke Engine Contract

Aerojet Rocketdyne is heading back to space ... with a bullet.

On Monday, the GenCorp (NYSE: GY  ) subsidiary announced that it has won a contract from the U.S. Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center Propulsion Applications Program to demonstrate a new Medium Class Stage III motor that could be used to refurbish America's aging arsenal of Minuteman III Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles.

Financial terms of the contract were not disclosed, but Rocketdyne noted that its role will be to develop, build and demo of a full-scale motor that, if successful, could replace the SR-73 third stage motors currently used on the Minuteman. Rocketdyne Vice President of Missile Defense and Strategic Systems Michael Bright called the contract "an important win" for this company, and a chance to help "maintain critical industrial base capability in solid rocket motor design and development" for the country.

The U.S. arsenal currently contains some 450 operational Minuteman III missiles.

In addition to the Minuteman program, Rocketdyne says its new engine could eventually become the basis for "a family of affordable, sustainable motors that can support a wide range of potential AF solutions," among them, powering drone missiles used for target practice by missile defense system interceptors.

U.S. Stocks Rise After Better-Than-Forecast Jobs Growth

U.S. stocks advanced, halting a five-day slide for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, as investors weighed better-than-forecast jobs growth to gauge the strength of the economy and timing of Federal Reserve stimulus cuts.

Intel Corp. gained 2.8 percent after Citigroup Inc. advised investors to buy the stock. Sears Holding Corp. (SHLD) climbed 2 percent after the retailer said it plans to spin off its Lands' End mail order business. Rite Aid (RAD) Corp. added 2.8 percent after November sales at stores open more than a year rose more than analysts' estimated.

The S&P 500 (SPX) rose 0.9 percent to 1,800.33 at 9:59 a.m. in New York. The advance trimmed the index's drop this week to 0.3 percent after it had retreated 1.2 percent over the past four sessions. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 136.40 points, or 0.9 percent, to 15,957.91. Trading in S&P 500 stocks was 8 percent above the 30-day average at this time of day.

"It appears that the market is getting increasingly comfortable with a taper scenario that parallels an incrementally stronger economy," Jim Russell, who helps oversee $112 billion as a senior equity strategist for U.S. Bank Wealth Management, said by phone. "The higher number could more easily be accepted because the market had traded down, anticipating what was likely to be a stronger number today, and of course we got that."

The 203,000 increase in payrolls followed a revised 200,000 advance in October, the strongest back-to-back gain since February-March, Labor Department figures showed today. The median forecast of 89 economists surveyed by Bloomberg called for a 185,000 advance. A report Dec. 4 from the ADP Research Institute indicated companies boosted payrolls in November by the most in a year.

Unemployment Rate

The pickup in employment, combined with faster wage gains and more hours, provides American workers with the means to spend and signals companies are confident that demand will improve. The jobless rate fell to a five-year low of 7 percent.

A separate report today showed consumer spending rose more than forecast in October, a sign the biggest part of the economy is gaining momentum from a firming employment.

Household purchases, which account for about 70 percent of the economy, climbed 0.3 percent after a 0.2 percent increase the prior month, the Commerce Department reported today.

The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan preliminary December consumer sentiment index rose to 82.5 from 75.1 in November, a report showed today. Economists forecast an increase to 76, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg survey.

"The knee-jerk reaction is all that data looks pretty good,"Stephen J. Carl, principal and head equity trader at New York-based Williams Capital Group LP, said in a telephone interview. "We're filing five down days so perhaps you see a rally. However, this could also instill a taper mindset."

Taper Timing

The S&P 500 had fallen five straight sessions, its longest slump since September, as improving economic data fueled speculation the Fed will start paring its $85 billion in monthly bond purchases sooner than projected. The index has still surged more than 26 percent this year, heading for the biggest annual gain since 2003.

The Fed says it will consider slowing the pace of stimulus if the economy improves in line with its forecasts. In a Nov. 19 Bloomberg Global Poll, 80 percent of investors said they expected the central bank to delay a decision until at least March 2014. Policy makers next meet Dec. 17-18.

Data yesterday showed the economy expanded in the third quarter at a faster pace than initially reported, led by the biggest increase in inventories since early 1998. A separate report showed applications for U.S. employment benefits unexpectedly decreased last week.

Volatility Gauge

The monetary stimulus has helped propel the S&P 500 higher by as much as 167 percent since a bear-market low in March 2009. The rally has pushed valuations higher, with the gauge trading for about 16.8 times its companies' reported earnings, up 18 percent from the beginning of the year when it traded at 14.2 times profit.

The Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index (VIX), the gauge of S&P 500 options known as the VIX, plunged 7.7 percent, halting a record eight-day rally that had added 23 percent to the measure.

All 10 main S&P 500 groups advanced at least 0.4 percent. Financial and industrial stocks paced gains, rallying 1.1 percent. American Express Co. (AXP) jumped 1.5 percent to $85.82 and Boeing Co. gained 1.4 percent to $134.58.

Intel jumped 2.8 percent to $24.94 for the biggest gain in the Dow. Citigroup raised its recommendation on the shares to buy from neutral, saying stability in corporate demand for personal computers will benefit the world's biggest chipmaker.

Lands' End

Sears climbed 2 percent to $51. The unprofitable retailer controlled by Edward Lampert plans to spin off Lands' End by distributing the company to shareholders. The distribution is subject to the approval of the board and certain other conditions, the Hoffman Estates, Illinois-based company said.

Rite Aid gained 2.8 percent to $5.77. The drug-store chain operator reported November same-store sales advanced 2.8 percent, surpassing the 2.1 percent median forecast by analysts in a Bloomberg survey.

Ulta Salon, Cosmetics & Fragrance Inc. plunged 20 percent to $94.62. The cosmetics and hair-care products retailer reported fourth-quarter profit and revenue forecasts that missed analysts' estimates.

Mega Million's at $257 Million: Read This Before You Buy a Ticket

Best Biotech Companies To Own In Right Now

Stan Honda/AFP/Getty Images The lottery numbers are getting tempting again: Thanks to recent Mega Millions rule changes designed to build bigger jackpots faster, Tuesday night's lottery drawing could win somebody $257 million or more. If a single winner chose the cash prize option instead of the annuity (and the majority of winners do), he or she would cash a $139 million check, according to the Mega Millions website. The odds of winning that life-changing jackpot are less than 1 in 175 million, but the statistics will never discourage those who dream of instant wealth. But maybe they should. Let's do a quick review of what we know about lotteries, and lottery winners. It's Not the Jackpot You Think It Is: If you win the Powerball, you won't actually see the whole $257 million. Uncle Sam places heavy taxes on income that high, so a handsome chunk of your winnings will go to the government. Ironically, a majority of people -- even among the ones who say that the rich should be taxed more -- feel that those lucky souls who win the lottery shouldn't have to pay as much in taxes as people who make their money in more conventional ways. It's a Bad Deal for the Biggest Players: The thought of winning millions is attractive to everyone, but especially attractive to lower classes, who spend up to 9 percent of their income on lottery tickets. With personal debt and unemployment rates at painful levels, who can blame people for being hopeful? But the statistics show that the lottery is a sucker bet. Saddest of all, though the odds are vastly better that you'll get struck by lighting or die from flesh-eating bacteria than win a big lottery payout, 21 percent of American adults agreed with this entirely false statement: "Winning the lottery represents the most practical way [for me] to accumulate several hundred thousand dollars." Really Want to Win? Here's an Almost Guaranteed Way to a $50,000 Prize: A Powerball ticket costs $2. Let's say you're a regular player, who buys five tickets a week. That's $520 a year. Over the course of 30 years, that's $15,600. Our friends over at InvestingAnswers.com did the math on what you'd end up with if you invested that money simply. Result: In retirement, when you need it most, not buying those lottery tickets will likely "win" you more than $50,000! Congratulations! A Useful Analogy: Speaking of retirement, winning the lottery is a lot like retiring: Suddenly, you have all this money and you don't have to work anymore. It's easy to make some impulsive splurges, but remember, the longer your wealth lasts, the longer you benefit from it. And be warned: Major windfalls can attract a large number of new "best friends."

iPhone 5s Brings Apple Back On Track

While Apple Inc (APPL) is busy resolving supply chain/logistical issues, the iPad Retina mini production reached a brilliant 4 million. This is not the only good news for Apple. The production of iPhone 5s has also gone up significantly so much so that the company is shipping all variations of the smartphone within 3-5 days. This apart, Foxconn has further boosted production capacity for the iPhone5s as the expense of cheaper iPhone 5c on Apple's request.

Foxconn, the contract manufacturer based in Taiwan, has around one million workers in China. The company operates approximately 100 production lines across the country at full capacity. According to sources, approximately 3,00,000 workers are dedicated to making components for iPhone 5s which includes components like metal castings. It is also rumored that the company has arranged for about 600 workers for the manufacture of every iPhone 5s in their production facilities.

Top Financial Companies For 2014

Apart from Foxconn's contribution what went in Apple's favor could have been the following:

High performance in the stock market:
When it comes to performance of stocks, you cannot forget Apple. The tech giant, a normally high performer seldom upsets its investors. After averaging at $510-$530 a share the stocks have now powered their way up and have shown strong presence in the investor's list. This boost to the company's stock is what has done the trick.

Accuracy:
The A7 chip, which also features in the iPad Retina Mini, makes iPhone 5s faster than any of its predecessors. This chip costs the company only $16 - $20 per unit. Thus, A7 is the driving force behind iPhone 5s' speed. The A7, for the record, used 64 bit processor. This sets iPhone 5s apart from any other previous variant of the smartphone.

To Conclude:
With iPhone 5s becoming a huge success, the company must make it point to learn from thi! s success story. They could well apply these success stratefies in their upcoming products. So it won't be wrong to say that with all the success the company might be the best but for an investor Apple's continuous share market gains as well as iPhone 5s' brilliant perform and the company's dominating performance in the field of music sales must be the reasons enough for investing your money in the company's stocks.
