Present share of Global IT Market

infov.pardeepchauhan@gmail.com (Pardeep chauhan) — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 23:58:43 PST

Global IT major DELL, which posted a 12% rise in net income at $983 million for 3rd quarter against $875 million a year ago, has said its full year revenue can be impacted by the uncertain macroeconomic environment and an industry wide shortage of hard drives.
There may be a slowdown in personal computer manufacturing thru 2012 after the flood in Thailand severely disrupted the production of hard drives. Dell lost market share to Asian rival Lenovo which moved up to the No.2 slot.
HP was the largest vendor with 17.7% market share followed by Lenovo at 13.5%. Dell had an 11.6% share of global PC shipments during the quarter.
Revenues from the Asia Pacific & Japan grew 10% led by a 23% growth in China and 13% rise in Australia/New Zealand. Revenue generated by BRIC countries increased 14%

Sure shot plan
NSC (National Savings Certificate) & PPF (Public Provident Fund) are the popular small savings schemes. Because they provide tax deductions. If the tax benefit from NSC goes it will be dead instrument. PPF investors stand to be the biggest beneficiary of the changes in the small savings schemes. It has been proposed that the max. investment limit in PPF will be increased to 1lakh, that is the exemption limit available under section 80C of the income tax act.
The interest rate on PPF is also likely to go up from 8% at present. This is because long-term money is always costlier tha short term funds. Any tightening of interest rates by the Reserve Bank affects the short end of the G-sec yield curve the most- the long term yield curve remained almost flat since march 2010 when the apex bank began the tightening of the interest rates.
It also means that the rate volatility in PPF will be much less than in small savings instruments.
PPF cn give many tax saving equity options a run for their money in the new tax regime

Here dhanteras is a occasion where people buy gold or some items as a good wish. tz a sort of investment. Now inflation is so high and market so volatile that middle class people face hard time to decide the way of investment. With all the thinking I find the best way of investment is to invest in Gold. Its an asset for future but then theres a also question of its quality so my dad gave a gud advice. I agree to dad and went straight to HDFC bank to buy gold. Bank provide certificate which gurantees its quality and moreover its not only an asset but also in future I can avail loan any time and too in less hassles.......

What RBI has done?
The RBI raised the reverse repo by 100 basis points to 7% and marginal standing facility (MSF) rate to 9% maintaing a 200 basis point corridor with the repo bang in the middle.The banks set the benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points to 8%. The hike is much sharper than the expected 25 basis points. In 16 months the RBI has raised rates by 325 basis points. the RBI is hoping that it will put a lid on inflation by moderating demand but concedes that the strategy may not work effectively unless appropriate action is taken to deal with supply bottlenecks. Uncertainty over crude oil prices, foreign capital flows, food prices, the vagaries of monsoon, a rising subsidy bill and recent tax cuts on petro products will ensure inflation will remain elevated at least during the second quarter which ends on Sept 30.
Result: The EMIs of home or auto loan will automatically go up immediately.
For industrialist, cost of borrowings will go up leading to project delays.
For depositors, its a profit news as will earn more interest.

The Central Bank of India feels India is not in a slowdown mode and believes a little bit of growth can be sacrificed to deal with imperative of tackling inflation.
( repo is the rate at which the central bank provides short term cash to banks)

This news is so big that it made many like us to make many calls to our bankers, brokers, and accountants. This repo factor has changed the view of investment for sure specially for my kinda middle class investors & savers.

Battle against Inflation- India

infov.pardeepchauhan@gmail.com (Pardeep chauhan) — Sat, 30 Jul 2011 23:21:09 PDT

THE ECONOMIC BOOM HAS LED TO A SURGE IN WAGES BUT SUPPLY OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES HAS NOT KEPT PACE WITH SUCH DEMAND- CREATING A CLASSIC WHERE TOO MUCH MONEY CHASES TOO FEW GOOD, SPARKING INFLATION.
The RBI believes that centre now faces a huge challenge in setting its finances in order and may slip up on its target of capping fiscal deficit at 4.6% of GDP this year. "It is important to recognize that in the absence of appropriate actions for addressing supply bottlenecks, especially in food and infrastructure, questions about the ability of the economy to sustain the current growth rate without significant inflationary pressures come to the fore," RBI governor Duvvuri Subbarao said while presenting the first quarter review of the monetary policy in Mumbai.
"the large fiscal deficit has been a key source of demand pressures. Fiscal consolidation is therefore critical to managing inflation. While meeting quantitative targets, the govt. also need to focus on the quality of expenditure to sustain the fiscal consolidation process, which, in turn will help contain aggregate demand and raise potential output," the RBI said.

Real time Drama- extraordinary exchanges between the US President and White House speaker John Boehner

infov.pardeepchauhan@gmail.com (Pardeep chauhan) — Sat, 30 Jul 2011 23:16:41 PDT

26.07: Obama urged Republicans to accept new revenues- a key sticking point in the negotiations as a way to balance the cuts that he said were serious,
"We can come together for the good of the country and reach a compromise; we can strengthen our economy and leave for our children a more secure future. Or we can issue insults and demands and ultimatums at each other, withdraw to our partisan corners and achieve nothing."
Republicans countered the emphasis needed to be cutting government spending.
"If we are going to avoid any type of default and downgrade- if we are going to resume job creation in America - the president and his allies need to listen to the people and work with Republicans to cut up the credit cards once and for all," said Representatative

Attractive rates

infov.pardeepchauhan@gmail.com (Pardeep chauhan) — Sat, 23 Jul 2011 01:38:44 PDT

Attractive interest

Interest rates have been rising for over a year now. and while investors have grappled with the fallout like rising loan rates. it's also a fact that investment options such as bank fixed deposits have turned attractive. But as financial advisers will tell you there are more attractive fixed income investments avenues than deposits alone.
One such avenue thats turned attractive is short term income funds. Short term income funds are looking good with interest rates increasing every quarter and as theses funds have low maturity and low duration portfolios currently- Mukesh Dedhia..
These funds currently have an avg yield to maturity, assuming an expense ratio of about 1% investors can expect a return of 9% over one year. Also FMPs (fixed maturity plans) are close ended debt funds that hold their investments to maturity thus eliminating the interest rate risk. Remember the RBI has been consistently raising the interest rates since March 2010. Rates have risen due to many factors like inflation, tight liquidity and economic growth. In recent weeks liquidity pressures have eased and so yields on one year papers have come off slightly.
Given the prevailing rates, one year FMPs should give pre-tax returns of 9.5%-9.6%, or post returns of 8.5%-8.7%. In comparison one-year bank deposits are currently offering 10% to-10.25% or a post tax return of 7%-7.2% at the highest slab

Global server hardware market:
TechNavio's analysts forecast that the Global Server Hardware Market will reach $57.8 billion in 2014. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is an increase in adoption of e-business model and IT applications by SMEs. The Server Hardware market has also been witnessing virtualization of servers. NFC (Near Field Communications) is making mobile phones transforming electronic wallets. Companies are therefore encouraging mobile payments and NFC technology. This has pushed POS systems to migrate towards mobile acceptance, hence demanding POS software that is flexible and incorporates new requirements.

Is Motorola mobiles is still on anybody's wishlist? Its splitting now......

infov.pardeepchauhan@gmail.com (Pardeep chauhan) — Sun, 05 Dec 2010 02:11:21 PST

Motorola, one of the dominant names in mobile handsets throughout much of the 1990s and 2000s. However, as technologies evolved and financial markets crashed, much of Motorola's fortunes were erased. With the split over the choice of cell phones, there is also much split in between the investors betting on Motorola company. Now even the company is about to split into two,Motorola Mobility and Motorola Solutions. Motorola Mobility, focused on its consumer business, and Motorola Solutions, its professional business. Motorola Mobility will focus on its cell phones and cable set-top boxes businesses, and Motorola Solutions will sell its police radios, barcode scanners and related technologies. The third division of Motorola, which produces network equipment for cell phone companies, won't be included in the split, and will be sold to Nokia-Siemens Networks, a Finnish-German joint venture.
For now the two companies are relatively safe for investment, though Solutions is much safer bet. .The company's Android handsets have helped it stay relevant in the smartphone marketplace. Buy MOT $4

A different approach of investment

infov.pardeepchauhan@gmail.com (Pardeep chauhan) — Fri, 03 Dec 2010 09:25:07 PST

With so much market in fluctuations its seems there is much more concern in the mind of investors to think of safer ways of investment. With commodities going high specially Gold and Silver its time to invest into something new yet profitable. Thats wat the current market trend showing with the big investors opting for Energy's which directs to price rise of Energys. Gas prices already on rise so comes solar energy, though its not new as its wide acceptance has been noticed in Europe, South korea and China and USA.
Solar cells and panel manufacturerrs are coming into much notice, the one stock for capital I set is Yingli Green Energy.
Yingli's primary global markets include Germany, Spain, Italy, Greece, France, South Korea, China and the United States. On November 19, the company announced a gross margin of 33.3%, above its original guidance of 31-32%, and well above the 22.5% it posted the same period last year. Operating margin was reported at 22.4%. The company reported a profit of 465.1 million CNY ($68.2 million USD) up from 120.8 million CNY last year. That's nearly a quadruple increase in profit, with earnings per depositary share rising from 0.79 the previous year to 2.92 this quarter. Total revenue increased 48% to 3.28 billion CNY ($490.9 million USD). These numbers beat the analyst consensus of $478.2 million USD in revenue.

-Gold and silver were up in Asia Thursday after what was a mostly a quiet session, while palladium broke to a new 9-year high.
Traders said the gold market was relatively quiet but prices ratcheted higher as there were few willing sellers ahead of the European Central Bank meeting.
The ECB meeting results, due at 1245 GMT, could include a signal that the bank is willing to extend its bond-buying program, a move which would be greeted with glee by gold bulls, some of whom suspect the ECB will eventually be forced into quantitative easing.
At 0725 GMT, spot gold was at $1,393.10 a troy ounce, up $6.50 from Wednesday's New York close, with Tocom October 2010 gold up Y25 at Y3,773 a gram.

RIMM reached to compromise

infov.pardeepchauhan@gmail.com (Pardeep chauhan) — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 11:49:07 PDT

Research in Motion seems to have reached a compromise with India, Saudi Arabia and several other governments in Persian Gulf area who were threatening to shut down many Blackberry services if Research in Motion did not give local officials greater ability to monitor electronic communications between the handheld devices.

Stock Analysis

Based in Canada, Research in Motion is a world leader in phone, especially smartphone technology. The company's signature product, the Blackberry, was the first mobile phone to offer textually-based communication, particularly e-mail. Since then, Research in Motion has continued to produce cutting-edge smartphones that come with capabilities of all kinds. Research in Motion is holding its own in the exploding smartphone market, but competitors such as the Apple iPhone and Google Android systems have pulled a large amount of business away from the iconic Blackberry.

The smartphone market in North America has become increasingly saturated and all handheld technology manufacturers are turning their attention to the east. Both Arab states and Asia hold great promise for technology manufacturers, but as Google has learned, opportunities in those areas of the world can come with complications, particularly government complications.

Matters came to a head at the beginning of August when several governments expressed concern that Blackberry's encrypted messaging systems hampered efforts on the part of law enforcement and security officials to collect data. Much of the discussions have centered on the fact that Blackberry servers almost exclusively reside in Research in Motion's home country of Canada. Indonesia requested that Research in Motion build servers in Indonesia the idea being that the Indonesian government would have greater freedom to perform wire taps, decrease service charges and increase non-tax income. United Arab Emirates threatened to ban Blackberry services such as e-mail, web browsing and instant messaging unless the government was given greater access to encryption codes. Saudi Arabia threatened to ban many Blackberry services as a means of hampering the communications of militants and terrorists. India requires phone companies to place lawful monitoring services in place in order to help with its battles with Muslim insurgencies and would like to force Research in Motion to comply.

Encrypted Blackberry messenger services are not only used by entities planning acts of violence, but also by groups who pursue political activism through more peaceful means. The encrypted communications offered a kind of "free speech zone" to those who might disagree with government policy in a part of the world, where any dissent, even the written word is not often tolerated. Nabeel Rajab, a spokesman from the Bahrain Center for Human Rights has used Blackberry service to communicate with a few thousand followers. He said, "It [Blackberry Messenger] brought us new people we hadn't reached before. Not everybody uses the Internet but everyone uses the phone." Ahmed Mansour, and UAE blogger said, "When BlackBerry came, I started to get messages criticizing the government from people I'd never seen involved in activism. Regular people started discussing taboo subjects. It widened the circle of interest."

Much of the discussion centers around how much access to secret information has been given to other governments, such as the United States and China. The eastern and Asian countries believe that both of the bigger governments have access although there seems to be no proof and furthermore, even R.I.M. itself claims that they themselves do not have the key with which to "unencrypt" the messages.

The latest news is that it seems that most of the governments in question have either come to an agreement with Research in Motion or delayed their impending bans. Most observers believe that some sort of compromise will be reached in most of the countries. The bottom line is that Research in Motion cannot afford to stop doing business in this part of the world and they will most likely do whatever is needed in order to get along.

Fear Of Deflation tilting towards US now

infov.pardeepchauhan@gmail.com (Pardeep chauhan) — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 12:25:58 PDT

Recent data are responsible for the worries. The consumer-price index rose 1.1% in June compared with a year earlier. Friday's report on second-quarter gross domestic product showed the underlying inflation rate—which excludes volatile moves in food and energy prices and is closely watched by the Fed—increased 1.1%, the lowest reading since the first quarter of 2009. St. Louis Fed President James Bullard last week warned of a Japan-like period of deflation and slow growth. Investors Giants are piled their bets on golds majorly and dumped US Treasurys.
So as market shouting be alert and start reshaping our portfolios.........BEST OF LUCK!!!
