      <title>Overvalued Stocks: Don’t Touch These Bloated Investments With A 10-Foot Pole</title>

      <description><![CDATA[To celebrate my parents’ anniversary, I took the family to see Grease last weekend. As musical theater buffs, I figured that they’d love the seeing the show, especially with my kids who had never seen a Broadway quality production.
Unfortunately, they still haven’t. The show stunk. The “actor” who played Danny Zuko couldn’t act. And American Idol winner Taylor Hicks was so bad as Teen Angel, it was laughable.<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/3647583>[More...]</a>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Stock averages hit new highs inside the final hour of trading and end with 1.5% gains. The blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average closed above 10,000, a line it hadn't crossed in a year. Better-than-expected results from Intel (INTC) and JP Morgan (JPM) have inspired a new leg higher for what most analysts have said is an overbought rally, especially now that the DJIA has pierced 10,000.<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/3552016>[More...]</a>]]></description>

      <title>Biggest Declines Among S&amp;P</title>
      <guid>http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/3408989</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[The following is a list of the S&amp;P 500 firms where the analysts have been cutting their expectations for the current fiscal year the most over the last month. Most likely these firms reported disappointing earnings or gave negative guidance on their conference calls.    Historically, you have not wanted to be invested in companies where the analysts who follow them most closely see the earnings prospects diminishing. Also, estimates in motion tend to remain in motion. The first bit of bad news is rarely the last (the cockroach theory). This means that the current expectations, even though down from last month, are probably still to high for these firms.      To weed out anomalies, only those firms that are currently expected to earn more than $0.50 in 2009 are included and only those firms where there are a minimum of three estimates in the system.      If you have these stocks in your portfolio, you might want to reconsider<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/3408989>[More...]</a>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Nov. 2--AS THE LOW-PROFILE races for district attorney and city controller come to an end, the Republican hopefuls aren't acting like hopeless losers in a city where Democrats hold a 6-to-1 registration edge. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;GOP controller candidate Al Schmidt last week mailed more than 40,000 handwritten postcards to targeted voters and made thousands of personal phone calls seeking support. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Republican D.A. hopeful Michael Untermeyer yesterday mounted a Harley-Davidson to ride in the Toys for Tots parade, and spent countless hours at transit stops, neighborhood gatherings and door-to-door canvassing.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;ul&gt;<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/3596998>[More...]</a>]]></description>

      <title>Metro jobless rates fall as more workers drop out</title>

      <description><![CDATA[&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;WASHINGTON - The unemployment rate fell in September in most metro areas for the second straight month, although that's largely because more people gave up on job searches than found new work.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The September unemployment rate fell in 223 of 380 metro areas, or about 59 percent. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A third of metro areas will still have jobless rates above 10 percent in the fourth quarter of 2010, according to a forecast by IHS Global Insight, about the same proportion as last month.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;ul&gt;<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/3588586>[More...]</a>]]></description>

      <title>Harley-Davidson Rolls out Nine New Models for 2010</title>
      <guid>http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/3371989</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[Harley-Davidson roars into 2010 with nine new motorcycle models, the most expansive new-product introduction in the history of the Motor Company. Across six model platforms, Harley-Davidson achieves a fusion of tradition and technology in a motorcycle product line that offers more power, luxury, and style, and more value.'This ambitious new motorcycle launch reaches to our riders with the incredible passion that Harley-Davidson has inspired for more than a century,' said Bill Davidson, Harley-Davidson Vice President of Core Customer Marketing. 'We are thrilled to offer our customers nine new models and a full selection of products for 2010 that lets their enthusiasm for enjoying great motorcycles continue at full throttle.'Highlights of the 2010 Harley-Davidson line include:As the new king of the Harley-Davidson Touring line, the Electra Glide Ultra Limited model delivers the performance upgrade of a Twin Cam 103 engine, and features standard equipment items previously offered only as accessories on regular-production Harley-Davidson Touring models.The new Road Glide Custom model looks lean and mean, with a slammed suspension, 18-inch front wheel and a new 2-into-1 exhaust system.The Wide Glide returns as an all-new Dyna model done in old-school chopper style, with black laced wheels, a chopped rear fender, black 'wire' sissy bar, 2-1-2 Tommy Gun exhaust and an optional flame paint scheme. Priced starting at $14,499, the Wide Glide is also a great new value.The new Street Glide Trike brings stripped-down, hot-rod styling to the three-wheel category, and joins the Tri Glide Ultra Classic in an all new Trike family for 2010.Dressed in satin chrome and denim black, the new Fat Boy Lo presents a darker and lower interpretation of the motorcycle that still defines the fat-custom segment.The 2010 Street Glide model gets even more hot-rod soul, with updates that include a larger front wheel, slimmed-down exhaust, and a new tail light assembly. Street Glide takes a classic Harley-Davidson Touring profile to a low, light and lean extreme.No motorcycle on the road today matches the modern street attitude of the three exciting models in the Harley-Davidson VRSC family: V-Rod, Night Rod Special and V-Rod Muscle. The explosive performance of the liquid cooled Revolution V-Twin engine keeps VRSC at the top of the power cruiser food chain in 2010.The American motorcycle legend that is Harley-Davidson Sportster features six models for 2010, including the $7,999 Iron 883 introduced mid-year 2009 and four others priced less than $10,000.Harley-Davidson Custom Vehicle Operations ), masters of shimmering chrome and bold paint, offers four new limited-production models for 2010. The CVO Softail Convertible is a versatile urban touring motorcycle, while the CVO Street Glide is a high-performance hot-rod bagger. The CVO Ultra Classic Electra Glide and CVO Fat Bob models are refreshed for 2010 with new paint schemes and styling details. All CVO models are powered by a Twin Cam 110 engine, the largest displacement V-Twin offered by Harley-Davidson.Harley-Davidson Motor Company, the only major U.S.-based motorcycle manufacturer, produces heavyweight motorcycles and a complete line of motorcycle parts, accessories and general merchandise.

During Women's Day, the Motor Company will offer special seminars focused on teaching women how to customize their motorcycle for fit, function and style; healthy eating tips while out on the road; and best practices for conducting a pre-ride safety check.

      <title>Harley-Davidson Reports Second Quarter 2009 Results, Lowers Full-Year Shipment Plans, and Provides Restructuring Update</title>
      <guid>http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/3354200</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[Harley-Davidson, Inc. reported decreased revenue, net income and diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2009 compared to the year-ago period. Net income of $19.8 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.08 were primarily affected by the planned 27.6 percent reduction in motorcycle shipments compared to the year-ago period and by two non-cash charges related to HDFS: a $72.7 million credit loss provision for a one-time reclassification of motorcycle loan receivables; and a one-time $28.4 million charge to write off the total goodwill associated with HDFS. Worldwide retail unit sales of new Harley-Davidson motorcycles were down 30.1 percent compared to the year-ago quarter. Retail new Harley-Davidson motorcycle sales in the U.S. were down 35.1 percent and declined 18.2 percent in international markets compared to last year's second quarter. Industry-wide retail sales of heavyweight motorcycles in the U.S. declined 48.1 percent for the same period.'While the underlying fundamentals of the Harley-Davidson brand remain strong and our dealers' retail motorcycle sales declined less than our competitors, it is obviously a very tough environment for us right now, given the continued weak consumer spending in the overall economy for discretionary purchases,' said Harley-Davidson, Inc. President and CEO Keith Wandell.In light of the decline in retail motorcycle sales, the Company also lowered its 2009 shipment expectations for Harley-Davidson motorcycles. The Company now plans to ship between 212,000 and 228,000 Harley-Davidson motorcycles to dealers and distributors worldwide in 2009, or 25 percent to 30 percent fewer than the 303,479 shipped in 2008. Prior 2009 guidance was for shipments of 264,000 to 273,000 motorcycles. In the third quarter of 2009, the Company expects to ship 52,000 to 57,000 Harley-Davidson motorcycles. As a result of the lowered shipment volume, the Company will implement a further reduction this year of approximately 700 positions in the hourly production workforce. Harley-Davidson will also be reducing the non-production, primarily salaried headcount by an approximate 300 additional positions, including a reduction at HDFS. The Company plans to offer a voluntary separation incentive package to eligible salaried employees. Earlier this year, the Company had announced workforce reductions totaling about 1,400 to 1,500 hourly production positions in 2009 and 2010 and about 300 non-production, primarily salaried positions. 'We continue to take these difficult actions to manage through the current challenges and we also continue to take major steps in creating the operational effectiveness that is essential to our long-term future,' said Wandell. 'We are committed to doing what is required to enable Harley-Davidson to operate as a competitive business and employer over the long haul.'The Company continues to expect full-year gross margins to be between 30.5 percent and 31.5 percent. Details of Harley-Davidson, Inc. Second-Quarter and Six-Month ResultsSecond Quarter. Net income for the quarter was $19.8 million, compared to $222.8 million in the second quarter of 2008, on revenue of $1.15 billion compared to $1.57 billion in the year-ago period. Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter were $0.08, compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.95 in last year's second quarter.A key factor affecting earnings was the one-time reclassification of finance receivables from held-for-sale to held-for-investment and the related $72.7 million non-cash provision to establish the related initial credit loss allowance. In addition, as a result of Harley-Davidson's lower shipment volume projections, the Company recorded a non-cash, one-time $28.4 million impairment charge to write off the goodwill recorded in connection with the 1995 purchase of HDFS. The Company believes HDFS continues to have significant strategic value despite the write-off of remaining goodwill caused by the current economic environment.Six Months. For the first six months of 2009, Company revenue totaled $2.44 billion, a 15.1 percent decrease from the year-ago period. Diluted earnings per share were $0.59, a decrease of 66.1 percent compared to the same period last year. Net income was $137.1 million, compared to $410.4 million in the first half of 2008. Strategy for the Current Economic EnvironmentIn early 2009, Harley-Davidson announced a three-part strategy for managing through the global economic downturn and strengthening its operations and financial results going forward. That strategy consists of: 1) investing in the brand; 2) creating the appropriate cost structure; and 3) obtaining funding to support the lending activities of HDFS. Brand InvestmentReductions in Harley-Davidson's motorcycle shipment plans for 2009 reflect the Company's intense focus on maintaining brand strength. 'When it comes to protecting and enhancing the brand, managing supply in line with demand is one of the most important things we can do. We plan to ship fewer Harley-Davidson motorcycles worldwide this year than we anticipate dealers will sell at retail,' Wandell said. At the same time, Harley-Davidson continues to make significant investments in product development and marketing, and the Company is more focused than ever on making those investments work harder and smarter, according to Wandell. 'We've got a great lineup of motorcycles and one of our top priorities is to reduce complexity and improve efficiency throughout our product development and manufacturing processes,' said Wandell.On July 25, 2009, Harley-Davidson Motor Company introduces 2010 model year motorcycles at its Summer Dealer Meeting in Denver.Cost StructureThe Company earlier this year announced plans to consolidate its two Milwaukee-area powertrain plants into one facility; consolidate paint and frame operations at its York, Pa. facilities into one plant; and close its Franklin, Wis. Parts and Accessories distribution center and consolidate those operations with General Merchandise distribution through a third-party logistics company. In April, the Company completed the transition of its U.S. transportation fleet operations to a third-party provider as part of its restructuring initiatives.Powertrain Consolidation Accelerated. Production shutdowns and line rate adjustments will be implemented at Harley-Davidson powertrain operations in Menomonee Falls and Wauwatosa, Wis., and at motorcycle assembly operations in York, Pa. and Kansas City, Mo., to achieve the newly-announced unit volume reduction. As a result of the volume reduction and production shutdowns, the Company expects to accelerate and substantially complete the planned consolidation of the powertrain operations by mid-2010. Sportster and V-Rod motorcycle final assembly operations and V-Rod motorcycle powertrain production in Kansas City, and production of Sportster motorcycle powertrains in Wauwatosa will be shut down for approximately 14 weeks in 2009, including the entire fourth quarter. The Company anticipates that other production operations will be shut down for a total of approximately five weeks over the rest of 2009.On a combined basis, Harley-Davidson now expects the volume reductions and restructuring activities to result in one-time charges of approximately $160 million to $190 million over the course of 2009 and 2010, an increase of $40 million from earlier estimates, including $50.0 million incurred during the first half of 2009. The Company now estimates ongoing annual savings of approximately $140 million to $150 million, or $70 million greater than previously estimated, upon completion of the announced restructuring actions. Savings in 2009 are now estimated to be $70 million to $85 million. York Study Underway. Since the announcement of the original consolidation plans in January, Harley-Davidson has determined that the Company's York operations are not currently competitive or sustainable. The Company has undertaken a 'two path' study to determine whether major, additional restructuring at York can achieve cost and efficiency targets to make the operations viable, or alternatively, whether the Company will relocate the York operations to another U.S. location. The Company expects to make a decision on the status of the York operations later this year.HDFS Funding Harley-Davidson continues to focus intently on the funding needs of HDFS and, utilizing a variety of funding paths, has provided liquidity for expected HDFS lending activities through the end of this year and into 2010. The Company continues to evaluate additional funding actions to diversify funding sources and balance long-and short-term HDFS debt needs, as well as provide sufficient liquidity for new loan originations.Business Segment Second-Quarter and Six-Month ResultsMotorcycles and Related Products Segment Second Quarter. Revenue from Harley-Davidson motorcycles during the second quarter of 2009 was $808.7 million, a decrease of $375.7 million or 31.7 percent versus the same period last year. The Company shipped 58,179 Harley-Davidson motorcycles in the second quarter of 2009 compared to 80,326 motorcycles shipped in the year-ago period and within the Company's guidance for this year's first quarter.Revenue from Parts and Accessories , which consists of Genuine Motor Parts and Genuine Motor Accessories, totaled $231.5 million, a decrease of $34.2 million or 12.9 percent versus the year-ago quarter. Revenue from General Merchandise, which includes MotorClothes apparel, totaled $69.6 million, a decrease of $7.2 million or 9.4 percent from the year-ago quarter.Gross margin for the second quarter of 2009 was 33.5 percent of revenue compared to 35.7 percent for the second quarter last year. Operating margin was 14.5 percent, compared to 20.1 percent in the second quarter of 2008. Gross and operating margins were adversely affected during the quarter by the shipment volume reduction.Six Months. Through the first six months of this year, shipments of Harley-Davidson motorcycles were 132,849 units, a 12.7 percent decrease compared to last year's 152,194 units. Harley-Davidson motorcycle revenue through six months was $1.82 billion, down 17.2 percent compared to last year's $2.20 billion. Six-month P&amp;A revenue totaled $401.2 million, a 10.4 percent decrease from last year's $447.6 million. General Merchandise revenue totaled $144.8 million, a 10.0 percent decrease compared to $160.8 million during the same period in 2008. Gross margin through six months was 35.3 percent and operating margin was 16.2 percent, compared to 36.1 percent and 20.1 percent respectively in last year's first half.Motorcycle Retail SalesSecond Quarter. During the second quarter, worldwide retail sales of Harley-Davidson motorcycles decreased 30.1 percent compared to the prior-year quarter. In the U.S., retail sales of Harley-Davidson motorcycles decreased 35.1 percent from the year-ago period. Industry-wide retail sales of heavyweight motorcycles in the U.S. declined 48.1 percent during the quarter. In international markets, retail sales of Harley-Davidson motorcycles decreased 18.2 percent during the second quarter of 2009 compared to the second quarter of 2008.Six Months. For the first half of 2009, worldwide retail sales of Harley-Davidson motorcycles declined 23.6 percent compared to the prior year. U.S. retail sales of Harley-Davidson motorcycles declined 26.1 percent for the first half of the year while the U.S. heavyweight market segment was down 40.0 percent for the same period, compared to the year-ago period. International retail sales of Harley-Davidson motorcycles decreased 17.8 percent for the first six months of 2009 compared to 2008.First half data are listed in the accompanying tables.Financial Services SegmentHarley-Davidson Financial Services recorded an operating loss of $62.1 million for the second quarter, compared to operating income of $37.1 million in the year-ago quarter. In addition to the effects of the finance receivables reclassification HDFS recorded $15.0 million in writedowns on retained securitization interests due to expected higher credit losses compared to a $6.3 million write-down in the year ago period. For the first half of 2009, HDFS reported an operating loss of $50.9 million, compared to operating income of $72.1 million for the prior-year period. In addition, the Company wrote off $28.4 million of goodwill associated with HDFS.Income Tax RateThe Company's second-quarter effective income tax rate was 71.6 percent, compared to 36.0 percent in the same quarter last year. This increase was due primarily to the non-deductible goodwill write-off and the tax implications of MV Agusta, which the Company acquired in August 2008. The Company expects its full-year 2009 effective tax rate to be approximately 55 percent due to the items listed above as well as the previously reported one-time tax charge of $22.5 million in the first quarter of 2009 and the implications of reduced shipments on earnings for the remainder of the year.Cash FlowCash and cash equivalents totaled $1.03 billion as of June 28, 2009, compared to $803.4 million at the end of the year-ago period. Cash used by operations was $164.4 million and capital expenditures were $57.3 million during the second quarter of 2009. For the full year, capital expenditures are now expected to be $145 million to $175 million, including $20 million to $30 million related to restructuring activities.

Forward-Looking Statements The Company intends that certain matters discussed in this release are 'forward-looking statements' intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements can generally be identified as such because the context of the statement will include words such as the Company 'believes,' 'anticipates,' 'expects,' 'plans,' or 'estimates' or words of similar meaning. Similarly, statements that describe future plans, objectives, outlooks, targets, guidance or goals are also forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated as of the date of this release. Certain of such risks and uncertainties are described below. Shareholders, potential investors, and other readers are urged to consider these factors in evaluating the forward-looking statements and cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included in this release are only made as of the date of this release, and the Company disclaims any obligation to publicly update such forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.The Company's ability to meet the targets and expectations noted depends upon, among other factors, the Company's ability to effectively execute the Company's restructuring plans within expected costs and timing, successfully achieve with our labor union partners flexible and cost-effective agreements to accomplish restructuring goals and long-term competitiveness, manage the risks that our independent dealers may have difficulty obtaining capital, and adjusting to the recession and slowdown in consumer demand, manage supply chain issues, anticipate the level of consumer confidence in the economy, continue to have access to reliable sources of capital funding and adjust to fluctuations in the cost of capital, manage the credit quality, the loan servicing and collection activities, and the recovery rates of HDFS' loan portfolio, continue to realize production efficiencies at its production facilities and manage operating costs including materials, labor and overhead, manage production capacity and production changes, provide products, services and experiences that are successful in the marketplace, develop and implement sales and marketing plans that retain existing retail customers and attract new retail customers in an increasingly competitive marketplace, sell all of its motorcycles and related products and services to its independent dealers, continue to develop the capabilities of its distributor and dealer network, manage changes and prepare for requirements in legislative and regulatory environments for its products, services and operations, adjust to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices, adjust to healthcare inflation, pension reform and tax changes, retain and attract talented employees, detect any issues with our motorcycles or manufacturing processes to avoid delays in new model launches, recall campaigns, increased warranty costs or litigation, implement and manage enterprise-wide information technology solutions and secure data contained in those systems, and successfully integrate and profitably operate MV Agusta Group. In addition, the Company could experience delays or disruptions in its operations as a result of work stoppages, strikes, natural causes, terrorism or other factors. Other factors are described in risk factors that the Company has disclosed in documents previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Many of these risk factors are impacted by the current turbulent capital, credit and retail markets and our ability to adjust to the recession.The Company's ability to sell its motorcycles and related products and services and to meet its financial expectations also depends on the ability of the Company's independent dealers to sell its motorcycles and related products and services to retail customers. The Company depends on the capability and financial capacity of its independent dealers and distributors to develop and implement effective retail sales plans to create demand for the motorcycles and related products and services they purchase from the Company. In addition, the Company's independent dealers and distributors may experience difficulties in operating their businesses and selling Harley-Davidson motorcycles and related products and services as a result of weather, economic conditions or other factors.

      <description><![CDATA[There are few things in American culture as iconic as sports cars and motorcycles, with each regularly topping the list of luxury items in our society. In fact, many would argue that for some Americans, the type of car or motorcycle owned is a personally defining characteristic. Most reading this will have just thought of a friend, co-worker, family member or perhaps themselves, who embody that remark. And so, the entry of a new superbike to the market comes as no quiet arrival.<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/3314143>[More...]</a>]]></description>
