      <description><![CDATA[Despite the recent commodity-price induced weakness that has helped improve valuation, we are keeping our Hold recommendation unchanged for Hess Corp. (HES) shares at this stage. The near-term outlook for the stock in particular and the overall group in general remains unfavorable.       We will revisit our outlook for the stock once early signs of stability emerge in the crude oil market, which we believe will be sooner than later. We continue to see upstream momentum at Hess on the back of the company's leverage to high crude oil prices and a large inventory of projects in Brazil, Australia Libya and Ghana.      On September 4, Hess Corporation announced that the Nimblefoot-1 exploration well on Australia's Northwest Shelf discovered natural gas. The well encountered 93 feet of net gas pay. Nimblefoot-1 is the third of four initial exploration<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/2629684>[More...]</a>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;WASHINGTON - Federal regulators took an important step Thursday toward prohibiting broadband providers from favoring or discriminating against certain kinds of Internet traffic.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Despite the concerns of the agency's two Republicans and prominent telecommunications companies, the Federal Communications Commission voted to begin writing so-called &quot;network neutrality&quot; regulations. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski said the rules are needed to ensure that broadband subscribers can access all legal Web sites and services, including Internet calling applications and video sites that compete with the broadband companies' core businesses.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;ul&gt;<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/3571944>[More...]</a>]]></description>

      <title>Washington Federal Reports Net Income of $2.5 Million for Its Third Fiscal Quarter</title>
      <guid>http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/3368769</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[SEATTLE, WA -- -- 07/23/09 -- Washington Federal, Inc. , parent company of Washington Federal Savings, today announced earnings of $2,500,000 or $.03 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, compared to $33,169,000 or $.38 per diluted share for the same period one year ago. Earnings decreased by $30,669,000 or 92%, primarily as a result of higher credit costs and FDIC insurance premiums. The provision for loan losses was $52.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, a $39.0 million increase over the $13.2 million provided for the same quarter one year ago. FDIC premiums increased by $6.6 million over the same period one year ago. During the quarter, the Company also repurchased $200 million of preferred stock held by the U.S. Treasury under the TARP, resulting in a charge of $2.0 million. The Company has decided not to repurchase the 1.7 million warrants issued in conjunction with the preferred stock at this time due to the contractual restrictions on negotiating the value of such warrants. As of June 30, 2009 the ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets was 9.64%, significantly above regulatory requirements to be classified as well capitalized.<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/3368769>[More...]</a>]]></description>
