January 12, 2010

Paul A. Ebeling, Jnr. Analyst

The recent Candle Stick analysis is: Neutral.

There are four Gap open up between October 15, 2009 and January 11, 2010 at 42.77/58.16, the near term resistance is NIL, support at 59.29 and the 50 day (EMA) exponential moving average is 52.74.

This is Deere & Company (DE): The company, one of the world's two largest makers of farm equipment (CNH Global is the other), is also a leading producer of construction, forestry, industrial, and lawn-care equipment. It is famous for its "Nothing Runs Like A Deere" brand marketing campaign. While the global financial crisis dented the company's sales in commercial and consumer equipment, Deere's agricultural equipment sales continued strong and remained highly profitable. Deere makes 60% of its sales in North America.

Competitive Landscape

Demand is driven by demographics. The profitability of individual companies depends on the correct assessment of repayment likelihood and effective collections activities. Large companies have an advantage in using computers to serve large portfolios of mortgage and credit card loans and also have access to cheaper sources of funds, but small companies can compete effectively in the cash lending or sales finance segments, where personal contact is more important.

Monday’s Market Action Close 4.03 +.04 Volume 700,000/shrs

There is a DOJI on January 11, and one Gap open down on September 2, 2009 at 5.07/4.32 , the near term resistance is 4.25, support at 3.93, and the 50 day (EMA) exponential moving average is 3.90.

This is DHT Maritime (DHT): The Company has a single business focus: marine transportation of Crude Oil. The company's fleet of about 10 tankers has an overall carrying capacity of more than 1.6 million deadweight tons (DWT). The fleet includes very large crude carriers (VLCCs), Suezmax tankers, and Aframax tankers, all double-hull. (Double-hull tankers, which have become the industry standard, are less spill-prone than their single-hull counterparts.) Spun off from Overseas Shipholding Group (OSG) in 2005, DHT Maritime acquired its fleet from its former parent that year in conjunction with an IPO. The company's vessels are chartered to OSG entities.

Competitive Landscape for DHT Maritime, Inc.

Demand is driven by macroeconomic trends in global imports and exports. The profitability of individual companies depends on efficient operations and a good safety record. Large companies have advantages in fleet size and port access. Small companies can compete effectively by chartering services out of smaller ports and transporting unusual cargo. Average annual revenue per worker for a typical company is nearly $500,000. The global shipping industry transports over 90 percent of the world's total commerce, according to the International Shipping Federation (ISF). Deep sea shipping is a highly competitive industry; however, competition from other forms of transportation is limited.

There is a Bullish Engulfing Candle on January 8, 2010 and no Gaps open up or down on the chart, the near term resistance is 21.26, support at 20.78, and the 50 day (EMA) exponential moving average is 20.02.

This is Intel Corporation (INTC): Intel is #1 in semiconductors. The company holds the lion’s share in the market for microprocessors that go into desktop and notebook computers, and also into computer servers. For a time rival AMD took some of Intel’s market share, but Intel fought back with faster processors and advanced manufacturing technology and ate AMD. Intel makes embedded semiconductors for the industrial equipment and networking gear markets. Most computer makers use Intel processors; PC giants Dell (18% of sales) and Hewlett-Packard (17%) are the company’s largest customers. The Asia/Pacific region generates more than half of Intel’s revenues.

Competitive Landscape

The industry depends highly on demand from the computer industry and makers of telecommunications products, which can vary sharply from year to year. Companies can be successful producing standard parts at low cost or by producing highly specialized components. Small companies can compete effectively with large ones by producing specialized products or developing new applications. Technological expertise is extremely important. The industry is highly automated: average annual revenue per employee is about US$250,000.

This is Las Vegas Sands Corp. (LVS): The Venetian Casino Resort (owned by Las Vegas Sands) brings a touch of Venice to the Las Vegas Strip. Replete with gondoliers and a replica of the Rialto Bridge, the Venetian offers a 120,000-sq.-ft. casino and a 4,000-suite hotel, as well as a shopping, dining, and entertainment complex. Las Vegas Sands also operates the Congress Center conference facility that links the casino to the nearby Sands Expo Center trade show and convention center. In addition, the firm operates The Sands Macao casino in China, and The Palazzo Casino next door to the Venetian in Las Vegas. Chairman and CEO Sheldon Adelson and trusts for his family own nearly 70% of the firm.

The Competitive Landscape

Growth in consumer income and state spending has driven expansion of the US gambling industry. The profitability of individual companies depends on efficient operations and effective marketing. Large operators have the financial resources to make large investments in facilities and efficient computer operations, and have cross-marketing opportunities. Small gambling facilities can thrive by catering to a local clientèle. The industry is fairly labor-intensive: annual revenue per employee is US$90,000.

Gambling Operations Industry Forecast

USA personal consumption expenditures for participant amusements and pari-mutuel net receipts, which include gambling operations, are forecast to grow at an annual compounded rate of 5 % between 2008 and 2013.
