&quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;&quot;&gt;The Beijing-based company has come out of nowhere this year to become the biggest threat to&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://topics.time.com/apple/&quot; style=&quot;color: black; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Apple&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;&quot;&gt;, Samsung and other smartphone makers.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;The company’s private valuation is already estimated to have&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-08-23/xiaomi-director-says-valuation-reaches-10-billion.html&quot; style=&quot;color: black; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;surpassed $10 billion&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;— double the valuation of BlackBerry and half that of Sony. &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;&quot;&gt;&quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;&quot;&gt;Xiaomi sold 7 million handsets last year and just as many in the first half of this year, putting it on track to sell 20 million in all of 2013. &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;In these days and especially in the previous months the technology industry has been shaken by a new and disruptive product: Xiaomi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Everybody knows that from the death of Steve Jobs, Apple hasn&#39;t been the same company that he used to conduct and spread around the world, maybe because his charismatic and challenging character has not been replaced by Tim Cook, or maybe ,in a worst scenario, Apple has lost her ability to create innovation in a &amp;nbsp;not anymore &quot; game-changer &quot; mode.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Probably that is the reason why, in a industry so competitive like the hi-tech, Apple has lost lots of opportunity and tons of market shares in favour of Samsung, HTC, and in these days to Xiaomi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&quot; Have you heard of Xiaomi yet? If you haven’t, you probably will pretty soon. If you have, you know the Beijing-based company has come out of nowhere this year to become the biggest threat to&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://topics.time.com/apple/&quot; style=&quot;color: black; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Apple&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;, Samsung and other smartphone makers. &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 16px; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;The Time is right, Xiaomi will become for sure the real threat to Apple and Samsung, because it&#39;s able to match high technologies ( but not at the same level of Apple and Samsung) with low prices and a network of salers very capillar, and that is the clue factor to be succesfull in China and, of course, in every part of the world.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Xiaomi’s popular Mi3 handset — including a Nvidia Tegra 4 chip, a 13-megapixel&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://topics.time.com/sony/&quot; style=&quot;color: black; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Sony&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;camera and 2-gigabit RAM — sells for&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.phonearena.com/news/Xiaomi-Mi3-unveiled-Tegra-4-and-top-shelf-specs-at-half-the-price_id47116&quot; style=&quot;color: black; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;$327&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;. In comparison, in China, Apple’s iPhone 5S retails for $866 without a service plan, while the Samsung’s 32GB Galaxy Note 3 retails for $884.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 16px; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Xiaomi has been founded in the 2010, and in circa 3 years of activity, now it is estimated of more than $10billion, that means more than two times of Blackberry and circa half of Sony!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Outside of China, Xiaomi began to gain notice in July, when research firm Canalys said that the company’s market share in China&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9241389/Xiaomi_overtakes_Apple_In_China_s_smartphone_rankings&quot; style=&quot;color: black; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;surpassed Apple&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;for the first time in the second quarter. Apple’s share fell from 8% to 5% in a single quarter.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 16px; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Those numbers are very appealing and if you add on that Xiaomi has recently hired Hugo Barra, who has been the head of product development at Google&#39;s Android division, is easy to understand what aims this firms has for its future.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 16px; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;And it doesn&#39;t finish here!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 16px; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Infact, Xiaomi has an exclusive contract with China Mobile ( the state-owned telecom giant) as Samsung, that helps the firm to compete even better against Apple that can&#39;t count on this key factor asset.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 16px; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Another main difference between Apple, as the Time reports, is that&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;while the Cupertino, giant ran iTunes for years at little or no profit — using its music, movies and apps as a way to sell higher-margin devices — Xiaomi’s approach is&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304441404579120901140934562.html#articleTabs=article&quot; style=&quot;color: black; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;similar to Amazon&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;. Amazon sells its Kindle devices at or below cost to expand market share, using apps and content revenue to shore up slim margins.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-size: 16px; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;In conclusion, the rise of Xiaomi has left the market wondering about how Apple will respond to a company thriving by using strategies very different from its own. In a&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cnbc.com/id/101032056&quot; style=&quot;color: black; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;research note&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-size: 16px; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;, Sanford C. Bernstein &amp;nbsp;called Xiaomi a “new disruptive force” that “particularly stands out to us as a potential game-changer.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-size: 16px; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;For its part, Xiaomi sounds a little more confident &amp;nbsp;about its prospects against Apple. &lt;b&gt;“They [Apple] don’t really care about what the users want&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-size: 16px; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;. They imagine what the users want.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;It&#39;s a news of yesterday evening that Warren Buffett, with his associate
Jorge Paulo Lemann, has bought with an IPO of about&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;background: white;&quot;&gt;$23 billion Heinz Co., but the tranzactionis valued at
about $ 28 billion because in the deal between the parts, buyers have included
the assumption of debt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;The IPO is based on an offer of $72.50 per share,
compared with&amp;nbsp;yesterday’s closing price of $60.48 that underlines the
great interest that the Oracle of Omaha feeds for this company.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;One of the main motivation of this move is due to the
fact that&amp;nbsp;Heinz benefits from “very powerful consumer goodwill in the
developed markets and a very early start in China and India, two of the largest
developing markets”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;The other key factor of this deal is the sinergy that
could be create between Heinz and Burger King &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;(that is one
of the most successfull business in 3G&#39;s portfolio) in the fast food market of
the emerging economies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Bloomberg.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;E &#39;una notizia di ieri sera
che Warren Buffett, con il suo socio Jorge Paulo Lemann, ha acquistato con una
IPO di circa 23 miliardi dollari Heinz Co., ma l&#39;operazione ha un valore di
circa 28 miliardi dollari inquanto nell&#39;accordo tra le parti è previsto che gli
acquirenti si assumano l&#39;intero importo del &amp;nbsp;debito societario.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;L&#39;IPO è basata su un&#39;offerta
di 72,50 dollari per azione, rispetto al prezzo di chiusura di ieri di 60,48
dollari, sottolineando in tal modo il grande interesse che l&#39;Oracolo di Omaha
nutre per questa società.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;Una delle motivazioni
principali di questo movimento è dovuto al fatto che Heinz può contare su un
elevato incremento di consumatori soprattutto nei mercati occidentali e un
inizio molto promettente in Cina e in India, due dei più grandi mercati in via
di sviluppo&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;L&#39;altro fattore chiave di
questo accordo è la sinergia che si potrebbe creare tra Heinz e Burger King
(che è uno dei business di maggior successo nel portafoglio del fondo
brasiliano di private equity 3G) nel mercato dei fast food delle economie
emergenti.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;Grazie a Warren e il suo
socio, le azioni Heinz sono salite del 20% toccando i 72,50 dollari alle 4:15
pm di New York &amp;nbsp;e le &amp;nbsp;Berkshire sono avanzate del 1% a $ 149.240.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;L&#39;accordo è il più grande mai
avuto nel settore alimentare mondiale, e non a caso gli acquirenti in questa
operazione pagheranno Heinz circa 14,6 volte gli utili al lordo di interessi,
imposte, ammortamenti, secondo i dati compilati da Bloomberg.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;Il sempreverde Warren Buffett
non vuole andare in pensione, ma sempre fare soldi a palate!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

New products such as the iPad mini are also being priced at relatively lower points, eating into margins.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;As all we know Apple is slowly losing her leadership due to the constantly increasing competition, and as a confirm of that statement you can easily notice how the Cupertino&#39;s firm unveils and launchs &quot;new&quot; products in a shorter temporal distance than a couple of years ago.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Competitors like Samsung, HTC and others, thanks to lower retail prices, are eating up market shares to Apple, that due to premium prices, is unable to reach.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;In fact sale volumes of the Iphone, that alone accounts for the 56% of revenues, are slowing down mostly due to an high retail price added to a no more tech-leadership.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;All those factors lead Apple to a drop of 33% in value shares, making the worst performing&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;stock in the Standard &amp;amp; Poor’s 500 Index in the period.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Why Apple is struggling so hard?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Here is the catch: competition and it&#39;s best ability to cut costs and prices is slowly but constantly eroding Apple&#39;s margins.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;Apple&#39;s margins&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;are falling back to levels not seen since sales took off after the 2007, due to the inability to launch a new product game-changer like the eldest Iphone, and the &quot;constriction&quot; to low retail prices in order to defend market&#39;s positions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;&quot; The latest quarter’s drop in gross margin to 39 percent from 45 percent a year earlier was caused by the introduction of the iPad mini, other products with higher costs and price cuts for existing products.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Unless Chief Executive Officer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://search.bloomberg.com/search?q=Tim%20Cook&amp;amp;site=wnews&amp;amp;client=wnews&amp;amp;proxystylesheet=wnews&amp;amp;output=xml_no_dtd&amp;amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;amp;oe=UTF-8&amp;amp;filter=p&amp;amp;getfields=wnnis&amp;amp;sort=date:D:S:d1&amp;amp;partialfields=-wnnis:NOAVSYND&amp;amp;lr=-lang_ja&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border: 0px; color: #0066cc; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: initial; vertical-align: baseline;&quot; title=&quot;Search News&quot;&gt;Tim Cook&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;unveils a revolutionary new gadget with premium pricing, Apple shares will remain under pressure.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;If you are an Apple&#39;s fan don&#39;t worry, there are rumors that affirm that it will be probably launched a new watch (yep you have read well)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;that also makes phone calls, accesses the Web and provides location- tracking services, and it will be sold at circa 200$ each generating a &amp;nbsp;margin of about 50%( t&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;hat’s about twice the margin Apple might earn by making a TV or selling an inexpensive phone for less-affluent shoppers).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Analysts say that if Apple doesn&#39;t do something real in a short time, at the end of the year her margins could easily shrink to 35%.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Tim, seriously, don&#39;t let competitors eat your succulent Apple...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;ITA:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;Come
tutti ben sappiamo, Apple sta lentamente perdendo la sua leadership a causa di
una concorrenza in costante aumento, e a conferma di tale affermazione può
essere notato come la società di Cupertino sveli e lanci &quot;nuovi&quot;
prodotti in una distanza temporale più breve rispetto ad un paio di anni fa.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;Concorrenti
come Samsung, HTC e altri, grazie alla riduzione di prezzi di vendita al
dettaglio, stanno sottraendo quote di mercato ad Apple, che a causa di prezzi più
elevati, non è in grado di raggiungere e soddisfare.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;Infatti
i volumi di vendita dell&#39; Iphone, che da solo rappresenta il 56% dei ricavi,
stanno rallentando per lo più a causa di un &amp;nbsp;prezzo al dettaglio elevato
abbinato &amp;nbsp;ad una non più leadership
tecnologica.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;Tutti
questi fattori portano Apple ad un calo del 33% in termini di valore azionario,
marcando &amp;nbsp;la peggiore performance nel periodo delle società dell&#39;indice
Standard &amp;amp; Poor 500.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;Perché Apple sta operando così faticosamente?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;Ecco il punto: la concorrenza e la sua migliore capacità di tagliare i
costi e prezzi sta lentamente ma costantemente divorando ed erodendo i margini
di Apple.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;I margini di Apple sono in calo e su livelli che non si vedevano sin dal
debutto dell&#39;Iphone nel &quot;lontano&quot; 2007, in quanto a causa dell&#39;
incapacità di lanciare un nuovo prodotto davvero game-changer, come il primo
Iphone, la società di Cupertino è &quot;costretta&quot; ad applicare prezzi al
dettaglio &quot;bassi&quot; al fine di difendere le posizioni di mercato.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&quot;Nell&#39;ultimo trimestre il margine lordo è sceso al 39 per cento dal 45
per cento di un anno prima a causa sia dell&#39;introduzione dell&#39; iPad mini e di
altri prodotti, che hanno dato vita ad &amp;nbsp;un incremento dei costi, e sia
alla riduzione dei prezzi per i prodotti esistenti. A meno che il buon Ceo Tim
Cook non sveli un &amp;nbsp;nuovo e rivoluzionario gadget con prezzi premium, le
azioni di Apple rimarranno sotto pressione &quot;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

sarà lanciato molto probabilmente un nuovo orologio (sì avete letto bene),
capace anche di effettuare chiamate, accedere al Web e fornire la posizione di
localizzazione GPS, che &amp;nbsp;sarà venduto a circa 200 $, generando un margine
di circa il 50%/pezzo (che è circa il doppio del margine che Apple potrebbe
guadagnare fproducendo una TV o vendendo un telefono economico per gli
acquirenti meno abbienti).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;Gli analisti dicono che se Apple non faccia qualcosa di reale e concreto in
breve tempo, alla fine dell&#39;esercizio i suoi margini potrebbero facilmente
ridursi fino al 35%, e così anche il valore dei titoli azionari.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&quot; Chrysler Group LLC reported an 80% jump in its third-quarter profit over a year ago amid strong demand for its cars and pickup trucks and a continuing recovery in the U.S. auto market. &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 8px; margin-right: 8px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&quot; The Auburn Hills, Mich.-based auto maker said it earned $381 million, up from a profit of $212 million for the same period last year. Revenue climbed 18% to $15.5 billion in the quarter ended Sept. 30. &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;&quot; The company reaffirmed its full-year guidance for Chrysler income of $1.5 billion for 2012, and expects free cash flow to be well in excess of $1 billion. &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

U.S. market share for the third-quarter was 11.3%, up from 8.9% at the end of 2009. &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; line-height: 1.5em;&quot;&gt;&quot; Together, Fiat and Chrysler hope to sell 6 million vehicles globally by 2014, up from 4.1 million cars and trucks that Fiat and Chrysler sold last year. &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Is a news of this days that Chrysler reported an 80%
jump in profit for the third quarter of the 2012 due to a new strong U.S.
demand for cars. Chrysler seams to live a new youth after the crysis of 2008,
infact the group earned&amp;nbsp;$381 million and revenues&amp;nbsp;climbed 18% to
$15.5 billion in the quarter ended Sept. 30.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;Those records, that helped Chrysler&#39;s performance, are due to the 12%
increase in vehicles sold world-wide. The auto maker, infact , sold 556,000
cars and trucks globally in the quarter ending Sept. 30, up from 496,000 in the
same period a year ago.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

forecasts and provide details on new measures to cut Fiat&#39;s cost and excess
plant capacity in Europe. It &amp;nbsp; will certainly effects Chrysler in her near
future, because one of her main issue is the operating profit per vehicle, that
is the lowest of the big U.S. car makers: $1,267 per vehicle. In

&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Due to Fiat&#39;s troubles in Europe, and the recently&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-10-22/fiat-faces-brazil-challenge-as-hyundai-threatens-profit.html&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;decrease in sales in South America&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, Chrysler has
become the financial engine for the Fiat-Chrysler partnership. For the first
three quarters of the year, Chrysler has earned $1.29 billion and sales have
climbed 22.3% so far this year, outpacing the industry&#39;s growth of 14.5%.&amp;nbsp;Fiat
also is working to increase its stake in Chrysler, which now stands at 58.5%,
because without at least 80% ownership in Chrysler, Fiat can&#39;t touch Chrysler&#39;s
earnings.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;As all readers could see, Fiat’s competitiveness is strictly influenced by
Chrysler’s records, because in the recent past the Italian automaker has seen a
strong reduction of margins on profits, dues to the increase in competition by
Asian automakers and the dropped demand caused by the strong increased gas’s
price all over Europe.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Asia, their strong positions are melting down.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;E &#39;
notizia di questi giorni che Chrysler ha registrato un incremento dell&#39;80% dei
profitti nel terzo trimestre, dovuto ad una forte e rinnovata domanda di automobili
degli Stati Uniti nel 2012. Sembra che Chrysler possa vivere una nuova
giovinezza dopo la crisi del 2008, infatti il &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;​​&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;gruppo ha guadagnato 381 milioni di dollari
e i ricavi sono saliti del 18% a 15,5 miliardi dollari nel trimestre chiuso al
30 settembre.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Questi
numeri che rispecchiano le notevoli prestazioni di Chrysler, sono dovuti
all&#39;aumento del 12% dei veicoli venduti in tutto il mondo. Il produttore americano,
infatti, ha venduto 556.000 automobili e camion a livello globale nel trimestre
chiuso al 30 settembre, contro i 496.000 dello stesso periodo di un anno fa.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;In
questa settimana Marchionne si aspetta di rivedere le vendite e altre
previsioni per fornire dettagli sulle nuove misure per ridurre i costi di Fiat
e la capacità in eccesso degli impianti in Europa. Certamente tutto ciò avrà
effetti anche sul prossimo futuro di Chrysler, in quanto una delle sue problematiche
principali è il profitto operativo per veicolo, che è il più basso tra tutte le
grandi case automobilistiche degli Stati Uniti: 1.267 $ per veicolo. Al
contrario, General Motors GM e Ford Motor Co. ottengono circa $ 2,000 - $ 3,000
ogni veicolo che producono in Nord America.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Gli
Stati Uniti continuano ad essere il mercato più importante e redditizio per Chrysler.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;A
causa dei problemi di Fiat in Europa, e al recente calo delle vendite in Sud
America, Chrysler è diventato il motore finanziario principale per la partnership
&amp;nbsp;Fiat-Chrysler. Per i primi tre trimestri
dell&#39;anno, Chrysler ha guadagnato 1,29 miliardi dollari e le vendite hanno
subito un incremento del 22,3% dall&#39;inizio dell&#39;anno, superando l’intera
crescita del settore che si attesta al 14,5%. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Fiat
sta inoltre sta analizzando e operando per aumentare la sua partecipazione in
Chrysler, che ora è pari al 58,5%, in quanto senza detenere almeno l&#39;80% di
Chrysler, Fiat non può accedere al cash flow derivante dai profitti di Chrysler.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Come
tutti i lettori potevano vedere, la competitività della Fiat è strettamente
influenzata dai risultati di Chrysler, in quanto nel recente passato la casa
automobilistica italiana ha visto una forte riduzione dei margini sui profitti,
dovuti soprattutto all&#39;aumento della concorrenza delle case automobilistiche
asiatiche e il calo della domanda causato dal forte aumento del prezzo del carburante
in tutta Europa.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;In
un recente articolo, Bloomberg sottolinea come Fiat e Volkswagen stanno lottando
ma lentamente riducendo le proprie quote di mercato in Brasile, che per molti
anni è stato il loro mercato principale in Sud America, e ora grazie ad una
nuova &#39;&quot;ondata&quot; di concorrenza, in particolare proveniente dall&#39;Asia,
le loro posizioni di forza si stanno lentamente sgretolando.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;E’
indubbiamente un periodo difficile per Fiat ... forse con Chrysler le
automobili italiane potrebbero avere nuove &quot;ali&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Georgia&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;Most readers know how nowadays China is
slowly down, losing the huge boost in terms of growth of GDP per year of
previous years; it means no more &quot;double digit&quot; growth, but
&quot;only&quot;a single one, which amounts to about 7.4%.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;But what
many don&#39;t know is the fact that since three years, China lives lots of
troubles due to the credit crunch done by the institutions, which led to the
birth and expansion of an illegal private financing way called Shadow Banking.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;We can
therefore speak of real Ghost Banks, that is a kind of well hidden network of
&quot;institutions&quot; of credit which continue to fund illegally an economy
in an&amp;nbsp;evident downturn.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;Those &quot;institutions&quot;
are so widespread along the Chinese territory, ranging from simple pawn shops,
from illegal&amp;nbsp;banks, to the guarantors of credit for any highly risky
borrower.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;Analyzing
this illicit system, it has been noted the operation and the consequences of
this&amp;nbsp;sick&amp;nbsp;credit system.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;The Chinese
system in this way turns out to be highly leveraged, infact many people who
enjoy a high reputation of solvency, borrow large sums of money from Chinese
banks at a given rate of interest, and then reshoot these sums to risky
subjects in exchange for high interest rates paid on credit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;This is one
of the most used methods in China, and not surprisingly there are guarantors of
credit in about 19,000 different businesses, making the phenomenon of a
monstrous entity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;If the
situation will continue to be so, China risks to be soon under the same
conditions of Western economies characterized by a Debt / GDP exaggerated.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;But let&#39;s go
back to the origins of this phenomenon, who are these banks ghost and when didi
they born?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;It all began
in late 2009 early 2010, when the Chinese government, concerned about the
potential danger of the phenomenon of credit booms, inflationary pressures and
the risk of a property bubble, tried to curb many of the activities of
provision of loans to risky subjects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;Such a contraction,
however, took different sectors of the economy to use the &quot;shadow
banking&quot;, ie financing channels not approved by the authorities, which now
correspond to &amp;nbsp;circa 25% of the total loans disbursed in the country.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;The fear
that haunts Beijing is the concern that the economy of the Great Wall &amp;nbsp;is
relying more and more on debt to develop new growth, as did Japan during the
years of his boom. And it is well known to all that the Rising Sun holds the
Debt / GDP ratio at the highest level in the world.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Sooner or
later, the great Locomotives of Growth end coal, and China could start to be
short...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;La maggior parte dei lettori saprà come oramai la
Cina stia lentamente perdendo l&#39;enorme spinta a livello di crescita di Pil
annuo degli anni passati; si parla infatti non più di crescita a &quot;double
digit&quot;, ma ad una &quot;sola&quot;cifra, la quale si attesta a circa il
7,4%.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;Quello che però molti non
sapranno sta nel fatto che da tre anni a questa parte, la Cina &amp;nbsp;vive non
pochi problemi a livello di credit crunch da parte delle istituzioni, cosa che
ha portato alla nascita ed espansione di un sistema illegale di finanziamento privato
chiamato Shadow Banking.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;Si può dunque parlare di vere e
proprie Banche Fantasma, ovvero di una sorta di rete ben nascosta di
&quot;istituti&quot; di credito che continuano a finanziare un&#39;economia in
evidente fase di contrazione: tutto ciò, in modo tutt&#39;altro che trasparente e
legale.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Tali &quot;istituti&quot; sono presenti in modo capillare lungo il territorio cinese, e vanno dal semplice banco del pegno, passando da banche illegali, giungendo infine ai garanti di credito per soggetti altamente rischiosi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Analizzando questo sistema illecito di finanziamento si è potuto notare il funzionamento e le conseguenze di tale sistema di credito malato.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Il sistema cinese in questo modo risulta essere altamente leveraged, in quanto molti soggetti, che godono di un&#39;elevata reputazione di solvibilità, prendono a prestito elevate somme di denaro dalle banche cinesi ad un dato tasso d&#39;interesse, per poi rigirare tali somme a soggetti rischiosi in cambio di tassi di interesse elevati sul credito corrisposto.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Questo è uno dei metodi più utilizzati in Cina, e non a caso&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;sono presenti garanti di credito in circa 19000 business differenti, rendendo tale fenomeno di entità mostruosa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Se
la situazione continuerà ad essere tale, la Cina rischierà di trovarsi presto
nelle medesime condizioni delle economie occidentali caratterizzate da un
rapporto Debito/Pil esagerato.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Ma cerchiamo di risalire alle origini di questo
fenomeno; chi sono queste banche fantasma e a quando risalgono ?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Tutto ha avuto inizio alla fine del 2009 inizi 2010 quando il governo cinese,
preoccupato per il pericolo potenziale del fenomeno di boom del credito, le
pressioni inflazionistiche e per il rischio di una bolla immobiliare, tentò di
mettere a freno molte delle attività di erogazione dei prestiti a soggetti
rischiosi.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Una tale contrazione portò tuttavia diversi
settori dell&#39;economia a ricorrere allo &quot;shadow banking&quot;, ovvero a
canali di finanziamento non riconosciuti dalle autorità, che oggigiorno corrispondono al 25% del totale dei crediti erogati nel paese.&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;La paura &amp;nbsp;che
tormenta Pechino è la preoccupazione che l&#39;economia della Grande Muraglia stia
facendo affidamento sempre più sul debito per sviluppare nuova crescita, così come
fece il Giappone durante gli anni del suo boom. Ed è cosa nota a tutti come il
Sol Levante detenga il&amp;nbsp;rapporto Debito/Pil più elevato al mondo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Prima o poi anche le grandi Locomotive della Crescita finiscono il carbone, e la Cina potrebbe iniziare ad esserne a corto...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;&quot; Impact Media Value, as defined by General Sentiment, counts favorable and unfavorable mentions as equal in value on the “all news is good news” theory of publicity. So the lingering bad vibes directed at&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Mark Zuckerberg&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;amp; Co. in the wake of May’s mishandled IPO are responsible for its rise to the top. &quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;&quot; Despite the maps debacle, or because of it, Apple held steady at No. 2, with $657 million in IMV in the third quarter. &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Molti dei lettori si interrogheranno sul motivo di tale giudizio in quanto IL social network per eccellenza, nonostante la sua deludente IPO, e la difficoltà a creare ricavi derivanti dal traffico ed in particolare dall&#39; advertising, sia riuscito ad ottenere un riconoscimento di cotal spessore in ambito mediatico ed economico.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;One of the most criticized banks after the financial collapse of the 2008, is back in business, and in a huge way for the weak financial period that we live.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;In fact Goldman scored a strong profit, more than expected by analysts, after bouyant bond markets helped boost its investment banking and trading divisions. Now net revenues in investment banking have jumped 49%t to $1.16bn, and income from &amp;nbsp;currency and commodities have jumped 28% to $2.22bn in the period.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;Thank to this trend that Goldman has posted a&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;net income of $1.46bn, that compared with a loss of $428m in the same period last year, means an huge break from the past and&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;a clear &amp;nbsp;reversal trend.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;As we all know this is a tough time for banks, and for those reasons that&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;Wall Street banks are still struggling to redefine their ways to do business with muted markets and new regulations which limit their ability to make money.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;Is that the indicator for a new recovery of the global economy? We hope so&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Una delle banche più criticate dopo il crollo finanziario del 2008, è tornata in business, e in maniera pesante tenuto conto del periodo di debolezza finanziaria che viviamo da quattro anni a questa parte.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Infatti Goldman ha ottenuto un profitto decisamente elevato, battendo le stime effettuate dagli analisti, dopo che i mercati obbligazionari hanno aiutato ad incrementare pesantemente aumentare le sue attività di investment banking e le divisioni commerciali. Ora i ricavi netti del periodo relativi all&#39;investment banking sono balzati del 49% ,toccando quota $ 1.16bn, e i ricavi derivanti da valute e commodities sono incrementati &amp;nbsp;del 28% per cento a $ 2.22bn.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Grazie a questo andamento positivo Goldman Sachs ha ottenuto un utile netto di $ 1.46bn, che a fronte di una perdita di $ 428m nello stesso periodo dello scorso anno, dando il via ad una evidente inversione di tendenza.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;Come tutti sappiamo questo è un momento difficile per le banche e per il business in generale, ed è per questi motivi che le banche di Wall Street stanno lottando duramente per ridefinire i loro modi di fare affari con mercati tenui e caratterizzati da nuovi regolamenti che limitano la loro capacità di creare profitti.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;Potrà essere l&#39;indicatore per una nuova ripresa dell&#39;economia mondiale? Lo speriamo assolutamente&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;Near the end of 2011, two hot Internet companies conducted rich initial public offerings that seemed to inaugurate a new Internet stock boom. Groupon, a daily deals web site, raised $700 million and was valued at $13 billion. Online game maker Zynga raised some $1 billion and was valued at nearly $9 billion. &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;Any long-term shareholders of Zynga and Groupon would have been better off investing in the stock of any other major U.S. company in 2012. With the shares of Groupon and Zynga down 74.4% and 74%, respectively in 2012, their stocks are now the worst-performing shares among U.S. companies with market capitalizations greater than $1 billion &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;&quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;No matter how the year ends, Groupon, Zynga, and the ongoing Facebook stock debacle have made sure that the 2012 stock market, which has performed incredibly well, will also be remembered for this second wave of Internet IPO busts.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;&quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;When you look at the recent IPO of Facebook, when you look at Zynga, when you look at Groupon, there is no question that these companies have been very volatile &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;ENG:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;October, month that as we all know is the month when the leaves fall, the trees get naked and show their nudity and essence: their majesty flew away together with their leaves.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;This description fits perfectly in the situation of Groupon and Zynga, which after their &amp;nbsp;massive initial public offers, now they reveal themselves as how they really are: weak and naked, and theirs share are volatile like leaves in autumn.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;Poor investors,certainly &amp;nbsp;when they bought those shares they didn&#39;t think that after circa one year only their value would have sunk of circa the 75%, scoring the worst performance &amp;nbsp;of the 2012 in the stock market of company capitalised with over $ 1 billion!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;We think that those trends will affect sooner or later Facebook because all those three companies have shown similar characteristics in capitalisation and stock market trend.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;No matter how this year will end, this is the year, certainly with an lower impact than the 2000&#39;s one, of the return on the bubble of &amp;nbsp;internet based companies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;This is because when you look at the trends in the stock market of the shares of those companies, you can see how they are volatile and the real value of the IPO was unreal, pumped up only for speculation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;Are you an investor of those companies?... I would rather not&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Ottobre, mese che come tutti sappiamo è il mese in cui le foglie cadono, gli alberi si spogliano e mostrano la loro nudità ed essenza: la loro maestosità è volata via insieme alle rigogliose e fitte foglie.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Questo &quot;quadretto&quot; si adatta perfettamente alla situazione di Groupon e Zynga, che dopo le loro importanti Offerte Pubbliche Iniziali, ora si rivelano come in realtà sono: deboli e nude, e le loro azioni volatili come foglie in autunno.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Poveri investitori, certamente quando acquistarono quelle azioni non pensavano che, dopo circa un anno, il loro valore sarebbe affondato di circa il 75%, segnando la peggiore performance del 2012 nel mercato azionario di società capitalizzate con oltre $ 1 miliardo!&amp;nbsp;Riteniamo che tali tendenze interesseranno prima o poi Facebook in quanto queste tre società hanno dimostrato di avere caratteristiche simili in termini di capitalizzazione e andamento del titolo nel mercato azionario.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;In realtà non importa come quest&#39;anno si concluderà, perché questo è l&#39;anno, certamente con un impatto inferiore a quello del 2000, del ritorno alla bolla dei titoli internet based.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;La motivazione di tutto ciò la si ottiene guardando l&#39;andamento del mercato azionario degli share di queste società, infatti è possibile vedere come essi siano volatili e quanto il valore reale dell&#39; IPO fosse surreale, pompato solo per una speculazione finanziaria.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Sei un loro investitore ? ... Spero di no&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;To reach the aim of increase our international visibility that, starting with this post, we will write articles and comments in English and Italian. This decision is matured with the statistics scores which show that our second nation in terms of site visions are the United States of America, followed by Germany and Russia.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Is not ended only with this features, in fact we started our Facebook Fan Page where we will share our articles and comment them with people with ours same passions : be update and international.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Con lo scopo di raggiungere ed incrementare la nostra visibilità internazionale che, iniziando da questo post, scriveremo articoli e commenti ad essi in Inglese ed Italiano. Questa decisione è maturata con i dati statistici alla mano, nei quali risulta come la seconda nazione a livello di visite (ovviamente preceduta dall&#39;Italia) sono gli Stati Uniti, seguiti a ruota rispettivamente da Germania e Russia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot; L&#39;Olanda è un &quot;porto sicuro&quot; per i mercati finanziari. Amsterdam ha recentemente collocato 1,92 miliardi di euro di titoli ventennali con cedola al 2,5% con un rendimento molto basso (2,497%). Ad oggi il titolo decennale rende l&#39;1,84 % &quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;&amp;nbsp;Il Paese è uno dei pochi in Europa a vantare una tripla A, giudizio di massima affidabilità creditizia. &quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;&amp;nbsp;Dietro la stabilità di facciata di un paese a tripla A, si nasconde tuttavia un tallone d&#39;Achille che si chiama bolla immobiliare.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;&amp;nbsp;Il livello dei mutui immobiliari è passato così dal 50% del Pil del 1995 all&#39;attuale 111%, il livello più alto in Europa.
&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Che oggigiorno le agenzie di rating la facciano da padrona, &amp;nbsp;e che grazie ad una loro valutazione, super partes o &quot;influenzata&quot;, possa essere deciso l&#39;andamento e l&#39;avvenire di una nazione è una notizia che non fa nemmeno più scandalo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;In un recente articolo pubblicato sul Sole 24 Ore viene messa sotto la lente d&#39;ingrandimento la Tripla A assegnata all&#39;Olanda.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Essa è una delle poche nazioni europee a poter vantare di tale giudizio di solidità economica e di affidabilità creditizia, che le consente di poter accedere al mercato finanziario collocando titoli ventennali e decennali a rendimenti molto bassi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Andrea Franceschi ha però fatto osservare come dietro a questa solidità di facciata si nasconda una minacciosa bolla immobiliare.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Già, perché il livello di mutui immobiliari è passato dal 50% del Pil del 1995 all&#39;attuale 111%; tutto ciò è stato possibile a causa dell&#39;impennata dei prezzi del mattone, che dal 1996 al 2001 ha visto il prezzo salire dell&#39;80%, innescata dal fatto che in Olanda le rate del mutuo sono&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;interamente&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;deducibili fiscalmente.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;A fine del 2011, infatti, il volume dei mutui richiesti era pari a 667 miliardi di Euro, pari a più del doppio dei depositi privati dei cittadini olandesi, rendendo in tal modo le banche &quot;Orange&quot; estremamente dipendenti da finanziamenti esteri.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&quot;&amp;nbsp;Ad oggi la situazione non desta preoccupazioni ma è possibile che questo accada se la situazione economica dovesse aggravarsi nei prossimi mesi. Specie se, come sembra, i prezzi delle case continueranno a scendere. L&#39;ultimo dato, relativo al mese di agosto, parla di un calo dell&#39;8% delle quotazioni immobiliari. Anche a luglio si è registrato una flessione. Ad oggi il 20% dei proprietari si trova a pagare un mutuo di importo superiore al valore della stessa casa.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Che Apple sia un caso di successo straordinario nel panorama economico-tecnologico mondiale non si discute, ma i rumors e le indiscrezioni nate dalla morte del suo fondatore Steve Jobs, non hanno fatto altro che aumentare, fino a sfociare in un&#39;intervista rilasciata da John Battelle a Bloomberg Tv, che potrebbe seriamente incrinare la splendida e luccicante immagine di uno dei brand più noto al mondo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Probabilmente la scomparsa di Jobs può essere vista come la causa di questa perdita in facilità di utilizzo del device, o forse è lo sviluppo stesso che non accetta ignoranza?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Indubbiamente i geek e i fan sfegatati della Mela mangiata non saranno d&#39;accordo, ma certamente questa è una dura spallata che il colosso di Cupertino è costretto a subire.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Tim forse è il momento di ritrovare la direzione di Steve...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_8QBxo9I41DBWi6Z00alJFpgr1ivkP-vGQR5HPTtbrJX44idcmDhzUNPbuXjzqcQQ7reD7zvlIU8vOH8uzLUcGS6zN3upCSsdyMXdXGH8O6Pk5z77PXSlus_peJTfNJQQDXKiIQcY0HA/s1600/ferrari-f430-logo.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;222&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_8QBxo9I41DBWi6Z00alJFpgr1ivkP-vGQR5HPTtbrJX44idcmDhzUNPbuXjzqcQQ7reD7zvlIU8vOH8uzLUcGS6zN3upCSsdyMXdXGH8O6Pk5z77PXSlus_peJTfNJQQDXKiIQcY0HA/s320/ferrari-f430-logo.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Marco Mattiacci, in una recente intervista a Bloomberg Tv, rivela come Ferrari, icona del lusso e dell&#39;italianità nel mondo, si sia dovuta adattare alle nuove tendenze del mercato per non perdere quote e posizioni strategiche.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&quot; In the first half of 2012 851 Ferrari were sold in USA, up+17% &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&quot;Indeed is a difficult moment, but &amp;nbsp;it&#39;s still a better moment compared to 2008-2009 &quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&quot; New York, New Jersey e Connecticut sono sempre stati il secondo mercato di riferimento per la divisione Nord America di Ferrari, ma a causa del crollo dei bonus pagati ai &quot;big boss&quot; della finanza la casa del Cavallino ha individuato nella Florida il suo rimpiazzo&quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Anche in una vettura come la nuova F12 Berlinetta potenzialmente capace di &quot;vendersi da sola&quot; grazie al fortissimo brand e immagine, Ferrari sta puntando in modo pesante sulla customization. Infatti:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&quot;Usa customers spend in avarage 15-20% in customization&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Mattiacci chiude con una frase ad effetto che riassume tutto quello che al giorno d&#39;oggi è fondamentale per ogni azienda di successo:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&quot; You need to do something more than displaying a picture of a product in a website, that&#39;s is different; you need to tell a story and establish a relationship &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

The Chinese government has blocked its citizens&#39; access to the site since 2009. &quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&quot; The longer Facebook waits to hammer out a China strategy, the more difficult it will become to break into it. And since Facebook&#39;s May IPO, the company&#39;s stock has lost half its value as users jump to mobile devices, where the Facebook app has been clunky and there are fewer advertising opportunities. &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 19px;&quot;&gt;Ovunque ci si trovi nel mondo la parola o meglio il fenomeno Facebook viene data per scontata, e persino parlando con chi oramai non è più giovanissimo si pensa di poter introdurre &amp;nbsp;un topic su cui scambiare qualche opinione personale davanti ad un drink.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Già perché è di comune pensiero ritenere Facebook il non plus ultra dei social network e della comunicazione via web, ma quello che molti non sanno è che così non è!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 19px;&quot;&gt;La mission di Facebook, la quale pone come obiettivo assoluto il divenire mezzo di comunicazione mondiale, intravede il termine delle proprie ambiziose mire lungo La Grande Muraglia che in antichità ha protetto fedelmente ed efficacemente la prosperosa civiltà cinese.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 19px;&quot;&gt;Tutto ciò ad oggi sembra molto difficile se non un miraggio, pioché il Governo Cinese, vista la tendenza &amp;nbsp;di Facebook&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; line-height: 19px;&quot;&gt;a favorire la comunicazione tra&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; line-height: 19px;&quot;&gt;masse e a &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; line-height: 19px;&quot;&gt;movimentarle verso la&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333; line-height: 19px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;rivolta contro i regimi politici, non intende consentire l&#39;accesso a&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Zuckerberg alla&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; line-height: 19px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;rete cinese mantenendo lo stato di censura al suo &quot;giocattolino&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 19px;&quot;&gt;In questi ultimi anni sono nate dozzine di social network che stanno sempre più prendendo piede, ed il numero uno a livello di traffico è Weibo il quale vanta 368 milioni di utenti ed un fatturato nel 2011 pari a $ 480 milioni. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 19px;&quot;&gt;Se ciò non bastasse è in arrivo un&#39;ulteriore batosta per Mr.FB: la piattaforma mobile in Cina è molto più avanzata e non risente della debolezza che Facebook riscontra in termini di entrate monetarie derivanti dalla pubblicità in esso pubblicata.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 19px;&quot;&gt;Facebook nel &quot;nostro&quot; mondo occidentale incarna e inquadra quasi del tutto la nostra vita: amici, ricordi, pensieri, pubblicità, moda e tanto altro.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; line-height: 19px;&quot;&gt;Chissà se mai riuscirà a conquistare la tanto ambita Cina, portando così a termine la propria missione di collegare e influenzare tutto il mondo?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; line-height: 19px;&quot;&gt;Riflettendoci su forse anche a noi servirebbe una sana e buona censura per poter ritornare alla comunicazione old style a &quot;quattrocchi&quot; ed all&#39;esprimersi non attraverso stati personali.

German retail sales &amp;nbsp;fell for a second month in May. Unemployment climbed in June for the fourth month this year. “The German economy is clearly slowing down, and a contraction in the second quarter looks possible” &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 23px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

In China “the slowdown is concentrated in investment and heavy industry,” Germany’s specialty, says Andrew Batson &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 23px;&quot;&gt;La Germania, come molti dei lettori sapranno, oggi giorno riesce a &quot;dormire sogni relativamente leggeri&quot; grazie allo sforzo compiuto nel 2000 con l&#39;attuazione di riforme sul mercato del lavoro, incrementando così produttività, salario e soprattutto ottenendo un contenimento dell&#39;inflazione. Grazie a tutto ciò ha sfruttato la debolezza della moneta e della domanda europea, rivolgendosi con una elevata quota della propria capacità produttiva oltre i confini europei, in particolar modo verso quelli delle nazioni facenti parte del BRIC. Sfruttando le proprie industrie manifatturiere di maggior spessore, l&#39;elevato livello di tecnologia a disposizione, la Germania è riuscita a registrare una forte crescita, la quale a livello di export ha toccato costantemente negli anni la doppia cifra percentuale.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 23px;&quot;&gt;Come spesso accade però, essere i migliori entro una realtà difficile ed affannosa come l&#39;UE non vuol dire essere al riparo ed al sicuro da ogni problema, anzi si rischia di essere i primi degli ultimi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 23px;&quot;&gt;Ed è proprio quello che negli ultimi anni a questa parte abbiamo assistito; infatti, in una realtà dove Irlanda, Grecia, Spagna, Portogallo e sfortunatamente la nostra cara Italia, faticano e non poco, facendo addirittura parlare di una uscita dall&#39;Euro, che la Germania ha innalzato ritta nel cielo la propria bandiera, il proprio orgoglio e solidità cercando di guidare le altre nazioni verso la salvezza, seguendo il piano strategico fondato sulla famosa Austerity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 23px;&quot;&gt;La perdita di focus entro i propri confini e i trend oltre Europa, ha fatto si che anche la locomotiva trainante europea iniziasse a dare segni di affanno e di rallentamento.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 23px;&quot;&gt;Non a caso il settore manifatturiero tedesco è affondato in maniera pesante negli ultimi tre anni, portando con se la riduzione delle vendite retail, disoccupazione crescente, domanda in rallentamento per il settore automobilistico, e dei macchinari ad alta tecnologia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 23px;&quot;&gt;Seguendo sempre questo trend negativo le esportazioni verso la Cina,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 23px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 23px;&quot;&gt;primo paese partner a livello commerciale in termini di volumi,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 23px;&quot;&gt;sono calate precipitosamente fino al solo 6% in Cina.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 23px;&quot;&gt;E&#39; doveroso però aggiungere come questa contrazione sia dovuta in particolar modo al rallentamento dell&#39;economia cinese di questi ultimi due anni.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 23px;&quot;&gt;Detto questo, è da sottolineare che la Germania non sia ancora in crisi ed emergenza, a differenza di molti altri stati europei, ma che se nulla si smuoverà verso un cambiamento netto e definito, rischierà di essere risucchiata entro un vortice vizioso di inflazione, stagnazione e disoccupazione crescente.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 23px;&quot;&gt;Sempre grati saremo alla Germania per i tentativi di salvataggio dell&#39;Europa, ma se quello che si profila essere il leader non è altro che il primo degli ultimi, molti dubbi e incertezze iniziano a sorgere...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;&quot; The delay most likely reflects caution by the NTMA given renewed tension in European bond markets in recent weeks &quot; said Mr MacCoille.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;Notizia di questi giorni, che &quot;riecheggia&quot; nel tumultuoso e frenetico mondo finanziario europeo, è l&#39;imminente ritorno dell&#39;Irlanda nel mercato aperto dei titoli di stato.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;Sempre restando fedeli alla fonte, verranno emessi&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;€500 milioni in titoli, che matureranno interessi il 15 Ottobre, sfruttando così l&#39;iniezione di fiducia degli investitori dovuta alla buona riuscita del summit europeo avvenuto settimana scorsa, con il quale si è giunti alla formulazione di un nuovo fondo salva-stati.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;A causa del collasso finanziario che ha investito questo paese nel 2010, la banca centrale ha dovuto iniettare €64 miliardi nelle casse delle proprie banche, ed ora, passata la fase più nera di questa crisi, il governo irlandese sta spingendo per riuscire a ridurre il peso del debito dalle spalle dei propri contribuenti, per &quot;traslarlo&quot; verso i sottoscrittori europei di titoli statali irlandesi. In tal modo il governo spera di ridurre il proprio debito nazionale dal 117% del prodotto interno lordo ad un livello inferiore al 100% entro il 2013, rendendo così maggiormente appetibili i propri titoli nel mercato.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;Sarà l&#39;inizio di una nuova Irlanda quanto mai felice di essere sempre meno al verde?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 24px; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&quot; The Facebook (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ycharts.com/companies/FB&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;FB&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 24px; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;) fiasco has spooked a lot of tech investors, especially those holding shares of recently-launched social media companies with similarly unproven earnings streams.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit; line-height: 24px; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Come molti dei lettori sapranno ed avranno certamente appreso in molte delle fonti di informazione disponibili quotidianamente, Facebook si è resa protagonista nell&#39;ultima settimana dell&#39;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.businessweek.com/videos/2012-05-25/facebooks-ipo-flop-is-decades-worst&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;IPO peggiore degli ultimi dieci anni&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;nbsp;attestando il valore del suo titolo, quotato al Nasdaq, intorno al 19% meno dell&#39;offerta iniziale.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit; line-height: 24px; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;La disavventura del noto social network non è però un caso sporadico avvistato nell&#39;orizzonte delle IPO (avvenute soprattutto in questi ultimi due anni) appartenenti al settore informatico e social oriented.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit; line-height: 24px; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Si può notare, infatti, come molte startup divenute pubbliche dopo il proprio consolidamento, abbiano fatto registrare forti ribassi dei loro titoli quotati sul mercato globale.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;Si può partire da Groupon, per passare da Yelp, Zynga, Angie&#39;s List, per giungere infine alla stessa Facebook, notando che in ognuna di esse vi è un fattore che le accomuna : la difficoltà da parte di chiunque di poter valutare in modo congruo questo tipo di società, fondate su assets per lo più intangibili e di difficile stima.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;Una delle poche società , che divenenedo pubblica, ha ottenuto un&lt;a href=&quot;http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2012/05/24/linkedin-facebook/&quot;&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;forte aumento&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; in termini di quotazione, è Linkedin, la quale ha ottenuto ad oggi un guadagno stimato del 130% rispetto all&#39;offerta iniziale. Questo dato può essere probabilmente fatto risalire alla maggiore semplicità di stima in termini di valore del titolo, in quanto il core business della società è fondato prettamente sul lavoro, attività concreta e valutabile economicamente in modo esatto.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;Cosa dire dunque? Beh certamente è ancora presto per dare un giudizio obiettivo su queste società, ma certamente non si può far notare come la &quot;foga&quot; nel diventare public company porti con se molti risvolti negativi, che se mal fronteggiati, possono portare a situazioni critiche e assai dolorose...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Nonostante gli impegni per gli esami incombenti, non smettiamo di riportare articoli importanti e interessanti, ma a causa del poco tempo a disposizione, oggi ci limitiamo a segnalare una questione di rilievo resa nota da Bloomberg Businessweek.&lt;br /&gt;
Buona lettura, ci scusiamo per il servizio &quot;ridotto&quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;&quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;L&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;uxury cars accounted for 24 percent of vehicles in Beijing in the first half of 2011, more than double the 11 percent U.S. average, according to the report. &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;La Cina è da tempo la nazione nella quale uno dei mercati più fiorenti, come quello dei beni di lusso, riesce ad ottenere la maggior parte del proprio fatturato annuale, utile sia allo sviluppo per molti dei players del settore, che per la sopravvivenza di altri in periodi di crisi come quella attuale.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;Negli anni precedenti l&#39;area ad est della costa cinese ha rappresentato per le case automobilistiche europee e non solo &quot; l&#39;Eldorado&quot;, in quanto zona ad alto potenziale di crescita unita ad una elevata densità di ricchezza.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;Oggi questa tendenza sta andando verso una fase molto più mitigata, in quanto la Cina sta lentamente &quot;rallentando&quot; la propria mostruosa crescita degli anni passati, ma a pari passo con questo trend si può assistere ad un graduale incremento di welfare nell&#39;intera nazione, cosa che precedentemente avveniva solo in aree delimitate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;Per le case produttrici di auto di lusso la nuova frontiera per lo sviluppo è rappresentata dalle aree interne, ed in particolare la regione dei deserti della Mongolia Interna. Questa regione infatti grazie alla concentrazione di risorse minerarie e di carbone, è considerata molto importante per lo sviluppo economico della Cina, la quale nel prossimo decennio, molto probabilmente, diverrà &amp;nbsp;il più grande mercato di beni di lusso a livello globale.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;Molte città di questa regione, aiutate mediante sussidi statali volti all&#39;incremento delle attività di produzione mineraria, hanno prosperato grazie a una media di crescita annua pari al 20%, la quale ha superato il livello medio nazionale per un periodo di circa 10 anni.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;Grazie a questo sostanzioso incremento di risorse e ricchezza monetaria, anche queste aree si stanno affacciando verso il mercato del lusso, ed in particolare verso le luxury cars europee.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;Se si pensa che solo nell&#39;area di Pechino il 24% delle auto in circolazione siano di questo segmento, e che la media statunitense si attesti &quot;solo&quot; all&#39;11%, si può intuire come l&#39;interesse di case come Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini ecc. sia estremamente legittimo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;La nuova fase di espansione è dunque l&#39;area interna della Cina, che vede sempre più l&#39;avvento di nuovi ricchi pronti a spendere cifre elevate in &quot;giocattolini&quot; da 300Km/h.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;Sarà forse la fine del comune insulto che tutti noi attribuiamo ad amici poco svegli?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;&quot;&lt;b&gt; Samsung also regained the lead from Apple as the world’s biggest vendor of smartphones in the first quarter&lt;/b&gt; &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;Non è una novità che Nokia, leader incontrastata del mercato della telefonia mobile per 14 anni, fosse in una profonda crisi da ormai parecchio tempo. Quello che sorprende è che nonostante questi anni bui, la società finlandese fosse ancora leader mondiale in volumi di vendita.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;In questi anni di crisi è riuscita a mantenere tale posizione grazie alla sua leadership in molti mercati emergenti, ma ha costantemente perso quote di mercato negli orizzonti occidentali come Europa e Stati Uniti.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;E&#39; di oggi infatti la notizia che Samsung sia diventata leader mondiale in termini di volumi di vendita di dispositivi telefonici mobili, portando a segno un incremento del 36% di vendite rispetto all&#39;anno precedente, attestandosi su 93,5 milioni di dispositivi venduti nel primo trimestre del 2012.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;Grazie a questo sostanzioso incremento trimestrale, Samsung ha totalizzato un utile netto di $ 4,5 miliardi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;E&#39; normale dunque aspettarsi che Samsung continuerà la sua corsa all&#39;erosione delle quote di mercato Nokia in Asia ed India, consolidando invece le posizioni ottenute in Europa e Usa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;Samsung,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;nel primo trimestre del 2012,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;ha inoltre ripreso il &quot;testimone&quot; di leader dalle mani di Apple &amp;nbsp;per ciò che concerne il volume di vendita di&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px;&quot;&gt;Che il colosso sudcoreano guadagnerà sempre più terreno a livello mondiale è fuor di dubbio, ma che ne sarà della casa produttrice di molti dei nostri primi cellulari avuti in gioventù?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Che Apple sia un colosso del mercato Usa è una informazione oramai del tutto superflua, ma ciò che la società con sede a Cupertino causa al mercato non risulta esserlo.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Nei precedenti 5 giorni &amp;nbsp;Apple ha fatto registrare perdite in serie, che hanno portato il titolo ad una quotazione pari a circa 580$ &amp;nbsp;per share (nella giornata di oggi il titolo ha superato nuovamente la quota &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bloomberg.com/quote/AAPL:US&quot;&gt;600$&lt;/a&gt; per share), portando alla luce la stretta relazione che intercorre tra l&#39;andamento del titolo e gli indici di mercato S&amp;amp;P 500, Nasdaq Comp., e Nasdaq 100. Si può notare infatti come la &quot;bad run&quot; di Apple abbia influenzato in modo pesante l&#39;intero andamento del mercato, sottolineando così il suo importante, ma forse eccessivo, ruolo all&#39;interno dell&#39;economia statunitense.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Tutto ciò porta a chiedersi : Apple è diventata il primo e &quot;unico attore del mercato&quot;?&lt;/div&gt;
