2007-07-26 11:30:07
Cramer has really changed his tune on this one. He doesn't feel that there is any value to the satellite radio industry. Since many cars have an Apple facility, there is no need to use satellite radio unless one forgets his iPod at home.
"Satellite radio is not indispensable, even though they claim that it is, and their balance sheets are the balance sheets from hell," Cramer said. "So this is the death mill for these companies if they can't get together." ...

The DJIAs Best Performing Stocks
2007-07-25 16:11:26
As of yesterday's close, 62% of S&P 500 stocks had beaten analyst EPS estimates for the second quarter.

Room to grow at Radvision and Ceragon
2007-07-25 15:39:32

Having climbed 147% since the beginning of the year, some people will no doubt be selling their shares, regardless of the company's second quarter results.
I, on the other hand, think that Ceragon could still climb eve ...

That's the gist of a Federal Reserve region-by-region survey, released Wednesday, which also showed the economy clearly has emerged from a rut at the beginning of the year and is now growing, albeit slowly.
On the inflation front, consumer prices continued to increase "at a moderate rate," the Fed report said. "Almost every region said that oil and gasoline pri ...
