The availability of high end merchandise, generous return policies, free shipping and the convenience of online shopping has started to change several sectors radically. These are the e-retailers stealing customers.

As always, here are the top major media headline summaries from WSJ, FT, Bloomberg, and more. Today’s top analyst upgrades and downgrades were in shares of AGN, CRZO, XRAY, DWA, ERTS, IAG, GOOG, LLTC, ONXX, STX, SIG, VRSN, YHOO, DGI and GEOY.  The most important financial developments that will affect the day ahead (Yahoo! Japan, EU PMI).

Disney goes big on dividend hike (DIS).

Potential upside among chip maker stocks (INTC, AMD, BRCM, ARMH, QCOM).

The difference between the prospects of United Continental and AMR over the last few days shows how much the airline industry has splintered.

Notebook PC demands expected to rise in 2012. (AAPL, MSFT, DELL, HPQ)

Time Inc has added a digital executive as CEO. The move comes too late. Print costs are still too high and will last too long

Unemployment rose in Europe again in October. Some nations now have jobs problems so great that it is difficult to see how they can be resolved.

Have a great day!
