			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" title="Stock Market Image" src="http://247wallst.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/stock-market-image.jpg?w=200&#038;h=133" alt="" width="200" height="133" data-id="82326" data-caption="" />US stock markets rallied on the first morning of trading in the new year. Index futures were up sharply and trading zoomed past the mark to rise more than 2%. Strong manufacturing data from Asia gave US markets a nice boost, as did a better-than-expected report on the ISM index and a rise in US construction spending. The S&amp;P 500 could not overcome a technical barrier, causing the market to move mostly sideways in the afternoon. Crude oil rose steeply on a weaker dollar and on the better economic news. WTI crude is up more than 4% at $103.00/barrel and Brent crude is up 4.76% at $112.14. Gold is also stronger today, up about 2.5%, at $1,605.80.</p>
<p>The unofficial closing bells put the DJIA up nearly 180 points to 12.397.46 (1.47%), the NASDAQ rose more than 43 points (1.67%) to 2,648.72, and the S&amp;P 500 rose 1.55% or more than 19 points to 1,277.05.</p>
<p>There were several <a title="Top Analyst Upgrades &amp; Downgrades (AKAM, ANGI, AAPL, CBE, FIO, GGP, GES, PETD, PMCS, PLD, REG, RS, UA, PANL, VTR, WSM)" href="http://247wallst.com/2012/01/03/top-analyst-upgrades-downgrades-akam-angi-aapl-cbe-fio-ggp-ges-petd-pmcs-pld-reg-rs-ua-panl-vtr-wsm/">analyst upgrades and downgrades today</a>, including Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) had its target price lowered to $513 at Morgan Keegan; General Growth Properties Inc. (NYSE: GGP) cut from ‘outperform’ to ‘neutral’ at Credit Suisse; Under Armour Inc. (NYSE: UA) raised to ‘outperform’ with a target price of $90 at Baird; Prologis Inc. (NYSE: PLD) started as ‘outperform’ at Wells Fargo; Akamai Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: AKAM) cut from ‘buy’ to ‘neutral’ at Janney Capital Markets; and Williams-Sonoma Inc. (NYSE: WSM) cut to ‘sell’ at Janney.</p>
<p>There were no earnings reports of note scheduled today. Progress Software Corp. (NASDAQ: PRGS) is scheduled to report earnings at 4:30 p.m. today.</p>
<p>Orchard Supply Hardware Stores Corp. (NASDAQ: OSH) completed an IPO today. Shares were initially priced at $25 and rose as high as $60 during the day before settling to $27.05, up more than 8% with less than half an hour of trading time left.</p>
<p><strong>Other standouts from today include the following stocks:</strong></p>
<p>Aveo Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: AVEO) is down more than -19% at $13.90. The pharmaceutical maker reported that its liver cancer drug performed better than a competitor in late-stage trials, but investors were expecting a larger improvement.</p>
<p>Kior Corp. (NASDAQ: KIOR) is down more than -10% at $9.12. The alternative fuel maker had no news, but is likely getting bashed on the expiration of US ethanol subsidies.</p>
<p>Avino Silver &amp; Gold Mines Ltd. (AMEX: ASM) is up nearly 17% at $1.66. The junior miner is riding the coattails of an overall upsurge in materials stocks today, which have been leading the markets higher all day.</p>
<p>A123 Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: AONE) is up more than 24% at $2.00. The battery maker is a partner with Satcon Technology Corp. (NASDAQ: SATC) in a demonstration project on micro-grid energy storage for the US Department of Defense.</p>
<p>American Realty Investors Inc. (NYSE: ARL) is up more than 12% at $2.10. The real estate investment company has no news, but continues to rise on upbeat news about the housing market.</p>
<p>Stay tuned for Wednesday. Automakers are scheduled to release sales data throughout the day. US seasonally adjusted annual sales are expected to remain at 13.6 million cars and light trucks. Here are the noteworthy events on the schedule (all times Eastern):</p>
<ul>
<li>7:00 a.m. &#8211; Mortgage Bankers Association purchase applications</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://247wallst.com/2011/01/19/the-ten-public-companies-americans-are-most-interested-in/bull-4/" rel="attachment wp-att-92759"><img class="alignleft" title="Bull" src="http://247wallst.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/bull.jpg?w=200&#038;h=150" alt="" width="200" height="150" data-id="92759" data-caption="" /></a>Canaccord Genuity and other brokerage firms have been publishing their best ideas lists in 2012 for equity investors.  The picks from consumer analyst Camilo Lyon show that the top picks for 2012 are Under Armour, Inc. (NYSE: UA) and Foot Locker, Inc. (NYSE: FL).</p>
<p>For Under Armour, the pick is Visible outlet square footage growth, as well as new line extensions, and even its move away from sweat repellent form-fitting materials into the cotton-based market.  The firm expects over 25% top-line growth as a result.</p>
<p>For Foot Locker, the firm does not expect a deceleration in the athletic footwear cycle that has been driving solid comp growth in running and basketball.  The firm is also looking at the company&#8217;s opportunity to improve its margin structure through changes to its apparel business that are less top-line dependent.</p>
<p>Both companies have some overlaps in the customer bases.  Canaccord Genuity sees several trends to watch during 2012: </p>
<ul>
<li>The firm expects broader price increases during 2012 as many companies are planning to pass on higher costs with some seeing no pushback and others being forced to mark down price.</li>
<li>The athletic cycle is expected to continue in 2012 with footwear trends in running and in basketball.  The new lightweight shoes for running, based on past new product cycles, could persist for three to five years and the current cycle is robust.  This is also believed to be a secular trend towards a more active and athletic lifestyle.</li>
<li>Tier 1 brands should dominate with brands having better pricing power than Tier-2 and Tier-3 retail stories.</li>
</ul>
<p>What is interesting is that the report starts out, &#8220;Heading into 2012, we are not assuming a significant improvement to the consumer spending environment, which will likely continue to be pressured by high unemployment and low wage growth. In addition, price increases from both apparel and footwear manufacturers will begin to flow through&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>As far as the targets&#8230;. The most recent Under Armour price target is $102.00 versus a Thomson Reuters consensus price target objective of $82.00 and versus a $73.00 price target today. Canaccord Genuity is the &#8216;Street High&#8217; price target objective in Under Armour.  The most recent Foot Locker price target is $30.00 versus a Thomson Reuters consensus price target objective of $27.00 and versus a $23.67 price target today.  The &#8216;Street High&#8217; price target is $34.00.</p>

(NASDAQ: ADBE); Carnival Corporation (NYSE: CCL); ConAgra Foods Inc. (NYSE: CAG); Jefferies Group Inc. (NYSE: JEF); Oracle Corporation (NASDAQ: ORCL); Bed Bath &amp; Beyond Inc. (NASDAQ: BBBY); General Mills Inc. (NYSE: GIS); Red Hat Inc. (NYSE: RHT); CarMax Inc. (NYSE: KMX); Discover Financial Services (NYSE: DFS); FedEx Corporation (NYSE: FDX); Nike Inc. (NYSE: NKE); and Rite Aid Corporation (NYSE: RAD).</p>
<p>We have broken these out by day and included consensus earnings and revenue estimates from Thomson Reuters.  We have also added in a price and recent trading activity and even added in the consensus analyst price targets.  Many of these also have some added color for traders to consider about the earnings reports.</p>
<p><strong>Monday</strong></p>
<p><strong>Lennar Corporation (NYSE: LEN)</strong> has estimates of $0.10 EPS and $810.2 million in revenues; next quarter estimates are $0.19 EPS and $908.35 million in revenues.  Shares are trading around $13.90, the 52-week trading range is $12.39 to $21.54.  Wait a minute&#8230; EARNINGS rather than losses?  Go figure.</p>
<p><strong>Tuesday</strong></p>
<p><strong>Adobe Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: ADBE)</strong> has estimates of $0.54 EPS and $1.03 billion in revenues; next quarter estimates are $0.59 EPS and $1.07 billion in revenues.  Shares are trading around $25.50, the 52-week trading range is $22.67 to $35.99.  Analysts still have a consensus target above $34.00, which seems a bit optimistic in the new normal where Apple&#8217;s mobility service is still crimping Flash.</p>
<p><strong>Carnival Corporation (NYSE: CCL)</strong> will show the cruise industry who is boss, maybe.  The estimates are $1.63 EPS and $4.91 billion in revenues; next quarter estimates are $0.36 EPS and $3.89 billion in revenues.  Shares are trading around $33.50, the 52-week trading range is $28.96 to $48.14.  Keep in mind that this report is the King-Maker quarter that dictates the earnings for the full year due to the summer travel months.  With an estimate of $1.63 EPS for the quarter, the full year is expected to be $2.46 EPS.  Analysts have a consensus target of $almost $44.75.</p>
<p><strong>ConAgra Foods Inc. (NYSE: CAG)</strong> has estimates of $0.31 EPS and $2.96 billion in revenues; next quarter estimates are $0.46 EPS and $3.3 billion in revenues.  Shares are trading around $24.00, the 52-week trading range is $21.02 to $26.60, and the consensus analyst target is $28.13.</p>
<p><strong>Jefferies Group Inc. (NYSE: JEF)</strong> has estimates of $0.26 EPS and $665.6 million in revenues; next quarter estimates are $0.36 EPS and $746.1 million in revenues.  Shares are trading around $14.65, the 52-week trading range is $13.85 to $27.12, and the consensus target is $22.22.  Jefferies has not been immune from the market&#8217;s pounding of banks and brokerage firms, but this is one broker and i-banker expected to grow.</p>
