We continue to rate Acxiom Corporation (ACXM) a Hold with a target price of $12. Management's guidance for fiscal 2008 remains lackluster and essentially suspended long-term financial guidance due to lack of visibility.

Finally a Winners list with more than gold on it... it's been a while.As mentioned throughout the week, if you were very nimble this was the week to buy retail, homebuilders, and some financials. The most troubled, bounced the most this week (short covering definitely - real buying? who knows). In terms of fund holdings - it was coal and fertilizer week (along with Mercadolibre); again I lightened up on all these positions as they bounced so strongly. In this volatile of a market, it's the only prudent thing to do.Criteria (as always)>$2 Billion Market Cap>$10 Stock Price>100K daily trading VolumeGreen we own, Blue we have owned or discussed[More...]

Barron's Summary (AAPL, S, AVT, UA, )

Mon, 28 Jan 2008 02:49:39 GMT

Barrons’ “The Trader” column discusses Apple (AAPL), whose shares are down 35% in a month. At 130, shares trade at 20.7x forward earnings, the cheapest in a while. Stripping out its big cash stash, the stock trades at about 13x FCF. While the Street frets about slowing iPod sales, it's easy to forget Apple’s range. Mac revs grew 47% last qrtr. Unit sales are expected to increase at a pace more than double the industry's 11.6%, and Apple continues to gain share in the computer and phone mkts. Investors moaning about the 4m iPhones sold so far forget that Apple had no mobile-phone presence just a yr ago. Margins near 35% should improve with cheaper component prices, and Apple is rolling out its new operating system and iPhones overseas. In fact, Apple's knack for packaging aspiration and creating things ppl feel compelled to own will stand it in good stead in a spending slowdown. The new "MacBook[More...]
