Stocks May Open Sharply Higher On Chinese Rate Cut - U.S. Commentary
The major U.S. index futures are trading on a mixed note on Wednesday, with sentiment likely to be weighed down by investors' uneasiness over the overbought levels. The rally set in motion by recent domestic data points and the Federal Reserve's upgraded economic assessment may stall for lack of any positive triggers. Some consolidation is likely, as traders digest the recent gains and also hope that the string of positive data continues. Across the Atlantic, stocks are higher, led higher by financial stocks.
U.S. stocks skyrocketed on Tuesday, thanks to a solid U.S. retail sales report and the U.S. central bank's economic assessment along with an announcement by J.P. Morgan (JPM) concerning a $15 billion stock buyback program and a dividend increase.
The major U.S. averages opened modestly higher and moved sideways in early trading. Thereafter, the indexes climbed steadily and legged up further in late trading before closing notably higher. The Dow Industrials ended 217.97 points or 1.68 percent higher at 13,178, the highest closing level since December 31st, 2007, and the S&P 500 Index climbed 24.86 points or 1.81 percent before closing at 1,396, while the Nasdaq Composite Index closed up 56.22 points or 1.81 percent at 3,040. The S&P 500 Index closed at its best level since June 5th, 2008 and the Nasdaq ended at an 11-year high.
All thirty of the Dow components closed higher, with J. P. Morgan Chase (up 7.03 percent), Bank of America (BAC) (up 6.26 percent), Alcoa (AA) (up 4.46 percent), Caterpillar (CAT) (up 4 percent), Disney (DIS) (up 3.94 percent) and United Technologies (UTX) (up 3.07 percent) leading the gains.
The Fed released the results of the latest stress tests, which showed that 15 of the 19 biggest banks subjected to the tests boasted adequate capital to weather a severe recession. The results were released 2 days ahead of schedule and showed that some banks such as Citigroup (C), Sun Trust (STI), MetLife (MET) and Ally Financial did not make the grade in the tests, which assessed the health of banks under adverse situations such as when the unemployment rate climbs to 13 percent and house prices drop by 21 percent.
Separately, the Federal Reserve held a monetary policy meeting. The post-meeting policy statement noted a moderate expansion in overall economic activity, further improvement in labor market conditions and a notable drop in the unemployment rate. The central bank also made a reference to rising crude prices while discussing inflation. The Fed's assessment of economic growth over the coming quarters was upgraded to 'moderate' from 'modest.'
As expected, the central bank maintained the fed funds target rate at 0-0.25 percent and repeated its intention to maintain rates at exceptionally low levels at least until 2014. The Fed also expressed its commitment to continue with its asset purchase program.
The Commerce Department reported that retail sales rose 1.1 percent month-over-month in February, while the previous month's 0.4 percent increase was upwardly revised to 0.6 percent. Auto sales climbed 1.9 percent, offering support to the headline number. Gas station sales climbed 3.3 percent. The strength was broad based, with clothing & accessories and building materials also showing firmness. On the other hand, furniture sales slid 1.2 percent. Core retail sales, excluding autos, gas and building materials, which is used in GDP calculations, rose 0.5 percent.
A separate report released by the Commerce Department showed that business inventories rose 0.7 percent month-over-month in January and were up 7.6 percent from a year-ago. Meanwhile, business sales rose 0.4 percent compared to the previous month and accordingly, the business inventories to sales ratio was at 1.27 compared to 1.26 in January 2011.
Currency, Commodity Markets
Crude oil futures are receding $0.45 to $106.26 a barrel after rising $0.37 to $106.71 a barrel on Tuesday. The American Petroleum Institute's inventory report showed that crude oil stockpiles rose by 2.8 million barrels in the week ended March 9th. Meanwhile, gasoline and distillate stockpiles fell.
An ounce of gold is currently trading at $1,645.60, down $48.60 from the previous session's close of $1,694.20. On Tuesday, gold fell $5.60.
On the currency front, the U.S. dollar is trading at 83.556 yen compared to the 82.96 yen it fetched at the close of New York trading on Tuesday. Against the euro, the dollar is valued at $1.3055 compared to yesterday's $1.3083.
Most Asian markets, with the exception of the Chinese and Hong Kong markets, advanced, drawing comfort from the fairly positive U.S. bank stress test results and the Fed's positive commentary on growth.
Japan's Nikkei 225 average opened notably higher and moved roughly sideways for the rest of the session. The index closed up 151.44 points or 1.53 percent at 10,051, the highest closing level since July 26th 2011. The market witnessed broad based buying interest, with only defensive utility and pharma stocks moving to the downside.
Australia's All Ordinaries ended up 39.10 points or 0.90 percent at 4,376. Material stocks led from the front on a day when most sectors moved modestly higher. Meanwhile, Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index closed 31.81 points or 0.15 percent lower at 21,308, with Cathay Pacific, which issued a profit warning, pacing the declines. The Chinese market retreated, as property stocks served as a drag after Chinese premier Wen Jiabao said measures announced in a bid to cool the housing market will not be rolled back.
On the economic front, a survey by Westpac and the Melbourne Institute showed that the consumer confidence index based on the survey fell 5 percent month-over-month in March. Consumer confidence took a hit from the impact of a stronger Australian dollar.
Japan's industrial output rose at a downwardly revised monthly rate of 1.9 percent in January, a revised report from the Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry showed.
The major European markets opened higher and are advancing further. The French CAC 40 Index is rising 0.75 percent and the German DAX Index is gaining 1.08 percent, while the U.K.'s FTSE 100 Index is moving up 0.33 percent.
In corporate news, German re-insurer Hannover Re reported a full year operating profit of 841.4 million euros, lower than 1.2 billion euros in the year-ago period. However, fourth quarter operating profits rose 11 percent to 350.6 million euros. Meanwhile, U.K. insurer Legal & General reported a higher annual operating profit for 2011 and also raised its dividend by 35 percent. Tullow Oil also reported strong profits and revenues for the full year.
German utility E.ON reported a loss for 2011, hurt by Germany's decision to exit from nuclear power and lower power prices. That said, the company said it expects profits to increase in the coming year.
A report released by the U.K. Office for National Statistics showed that the U.K.'s claimant count rose by 7,200 in February. The unemployment rate based on ILO standards for the three months ended January was unchanged at 8.4 percent.
Eurostat confirmed the eurozone annual February consumer price inflation at 2.7 percent, while month-over-month, consumer prices were up 0.5 percent. A separate report showed that the eurozone's industrial output rose a less than expected 0.2 percent month-over-month in January. The annual change in industrial output was a negative 1.2 percent compared to a negative 0.8 percent expected by economists.
U.S. Economic Reports
U.S. import and export prices both increased in the month of February, according to a report released by the Labor Department, with the increase in import prices largely due to a notable jump in fuel prices.
The report showed that import prices rose by 0.4 percent in February after coming in unchanged in each of the two previous months. Economists had expected import prices to increase by 0.6 percent. Excluding a 1.4 percent increase the price of fuel imports, import prices actually fell by 0.1 percent in February compared to a 0.1 percent increase in January.
Export prices also increased by 0.4 percent in February following a following a 0.2 percent increase in January. The increase in export prices compared to economist estimates for a 0.3 percent increase.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke is scheduled to speak to the Independent Community Bankers Association conference in Nashville at 9 am ET.
The Energy Information Administration is scheduled to release its weekly petroleum inventory report for the week ended March 9th at 10:30 am ET.
Crude oil stockpiles rose by 0.8 million barrels to 345.7 million barrels in the week ended March 2nd. Inventories were in the upper limit of the average range.

Anthony Bourdain does the Hudson Valley
- applesauce23 Jan 16, 2010 04:27 AM
Seems like an interesting episode. I'm especially intrigued by the Ixtapa taco truck in Newburgh.
thanks for the link; bourdain's one of the few food related shows i watch....
but my thought was not the list i'd have selected. mohonk is a terrible choice, even with the view, for the food show. i don't know the polish place in goshen, but why not ellenville? you've even got the built-in background of former catskills place, with the jewish bakery place and abandoned campgrounds in north / west directions...
tacos in newburgh? if you're there, the better focus is peruvian (which is quite scarce) @machu picchu, come to poughkeepsie for the mexican fix.
and obv. kingston's got a bit of ethnicity to it as well.
just initial thoughts...
re: bob gaj
I agree. Mohonk is NOT a food destination, although they think they are. Lots of food does not good food make.
re: wincountrygirl
i think it's supposed to air on 2/8...probably at 10.
i was also very surprised that they chose to go to mohonk. definitely not my first choice...or my 10th. i'm not a fan of overpriced mediocre food...
re: applesauce23
Thanks for the info. We stayed at Mohonk a couple of years ago and opted for the "formal" dinner which was ok at best. Lunch, though was truly awful - very institutional tasting food.
re: bob gaj
The Polish place in Pine Island is fantastic. My fiance's family has been getting stuff from there for about 20 years. The article makes it sound like a restaurant but it's more like a deli with a few tables.
re: wincountrygirl
in regards to mohonk- the crew & tony need a free place to stay don't they? the nevele was booked I guess...
re: cubanat
I didn't see the episode yet, but I've got to say I'm astounded if he featured Mohonk Mountain House and didn't slam the food. It is horrible. Any place charging those prices and claiming to offer a 5 star experience should be too ashamed to open the dining hall with that dreck.
re: sbp
His visit to Mohonk was not about the food (unless you consider tea and canapes food). It was about the history of the place and the fact that the Catskills were once a center for such Victorian resorts where wealthy New Yorkers played. As I said in my other post on the subject, I am a bit suspicious that his visit was a covert advertisement: perhaps the Mohonk management offered him and his staff a few days, with spa services and the like.
BTW, I was at Mohonk recently and had a few darn good meals. Not gourmand, but good. And, the wine list is really respectable (an 05 Gigondas from a reliable producer for $60, would have been $100 in most NYC restaurants).
re: famdoc
We were at Mohonk and tea time was NOTHING like what was portrayed on this show.Cookies and long lines. The food was acceptable at diiner if you did the "fine dining" option and the wine list was ok. Breakfast was good, especially the coffee, but I found lunches to be absolutely disgusting. Lot of food,though! But the freshly carved turkey was very institutional tasting as were the other items. Barbeque option was a bit better.
re: famdoc
I highly doubt that the Mohonk scene was a advertisement in disguise. If it was I doubt we would have seen a wave of blood going down their hallway. There is no way the Mohonk house was happy with that. While I think he was complimentary of the place he also portrayed it more as a house of horrors then a luxury resort.
re: MsDiPesto
i realized after my post, when i mentioned it to my wife, there's one HUGE place he should have hit...
more like the catskills, but in the name - hudson valley foie gras.
given tony's love of the stuff, i can't believe that didn't make it in the show.
there's also the caviar place up the road in kingston as well...
yeah, i've heard coppola's used to be much better. in fact, it's where i went with my wife our first time out, back when the hudson valley's restaurants were REALLY sparse.
re: bob gaj
Yeah, they were in a storefront in Highland back then, if you asked, Vinnie would make a dynamite Vitello alla Piemontese. If you were a regular, he'd send out a plate of Zucchini Fritti Misto. The kind of place where you finished the meal wiht filtered coffee and a shot of sambuca.
re: bob gaj
Tony has been to Hudson Valley Foir Gras in a past episode. I'm pretty sure it was the Christmas special a few years back.
re: hudsonvalleyfoodblog
thanks for that...i try to avoid watching retrospective, christmas, thanksgiving shows if possible, so if it was in there, i'd liktely have missed it.
re: bob gaj
I missed it too when it first aired. It wasn't till I say it listed online that I checked it out. They actually called it a Hudson Valley episode so it got my attention. You didn't miss anything. It was a throw away episode.
Just got back from Mohonk, where we spent a weekend. Agree, this is not a food destination, but we enjoyed a few items that were quite good: house-cured salmon (Sunday brunch) was excellent, creamy lentil soup (Saturday lunch), fried clam strips (Saturday dinner...before you extol the virtues of this dish on the CT coast, these were actually fresh, moist and tasty), striped bass (Friday dinner).
Of course, for the money, Mohonk should be a gourmet's dream. However, for what it is
(a family resort and a place for rich New Yorkers to get away for a weekend), the kitchen is acceptable and tries very hard to please. I was quite impressed with the wine list and found a few real values (a 2004 Gigondas from Domaine de Gayas, $60).
I hope this was taped way in advance...the best time to hit the Hudson Valley for local food and fantastic foliage is autumn...not the grey of winter. Rhinebeck would've been a better choice than Mohonk. Maybe he's tired from all the traveling and just wanted to chill in the rocking chairs on the balcony.
re: CarolynHV
Yeah I almost get the impression that they needed an easy to shoot (cheap) episode. Each season seems to include one like that. One year it was Food Porn, another it was the Street Food. While those were compilations using old footage at least this is new.
I still don't think are doing the Hudson Valley justice based on the list. I wish they would feature the area the way Istanbul was done.
Thanks for the link. I saw the episode preview last night and was wondering where he would visit. I have to say I'm a bit disappointed. It doesn't seem like he's going to many places. While a visit to the CIA is to be expected he did this in a past episode so I don't see the need for a repeat visit.
Mohonk, while beautiful, is a waste of time for a food show.
Does anyone have a picture of that taco truck? There used to be one in Wappingers Falls on rt. 9 but it disappeared. I wonder if its the same one.
re: hudsonvalleyfoodblog
I haven't seen the previews but could it be the taco truck on Warren Street in Hudson?
re: priscilla56
I'm not familiar with that one. Either way I'm looking forward to the show.
re: hudsonvalleyfoodblog
Na man, im fairly sure its not the same truck, i don't have a pic of it but ill try to grab one tomorrow and post it.
re: Giant_Cosmonaut
thanks, was just curious
re: applesauce23
It was a shame that he did not go to any of the nice restaurants in Kingston, Woodstock or Saugerties. It should have been called the Lower Hudson show, followed by a Mid-Hudson episode.
re: Fred19
I agree, I don't think it really showcased the food of the Hudson Valley. Seemed like a lost opportunity. I also don't know why Indian Point had to be such a promonate part of the episode and each commercial break had to include a radioactive crab? It made the Hudson Valley look really bad.
The show really only featured two food destinations.
re: hudsonvalleyfoodblog
And, his visit to Mohonk was not really about the food.
Historic? Yes. A food destination? Not really.
Why waste time in the broadcast there with so many other food destinations available?
I have to think that someone in the Mohonk management knows someone at the Travel Channel, since it was little else than a commercial for Mohonk.
The program is slipping, I believe. The recent episode on Brittany also missed much of the point of Breton cuisine (although he covered crepes and shellfish).
re: famdoc
i *hugely* disagree.
first, although it's not the show i'd have shown, it was watchable. people north of kingston would have a better gripe than others; the hudson valley, for better or worse, is considered westchester up to albany. and there was nothing about the area north of there.
it's the travel channel, and so it's a show which revolves around food but also is about travel. in that context, mohonk fits in perfectly. it IS a travel destination. it is unique, viewable once you get to the edge of new paltz. from the travel perspective, it's perfectly logical to include it - and doesn't require any payoffs or anything like that. seemed to me that mohonk was drinks and small stuff and scenery, and that focused on the strengths, wasn't like the X2O setup.
my main criticism was the backyard cooking in new paltz, even if his daughter provided comic relief. when he does that in a foreign country, it makes perfect sense - get out of the main area, see how the locals live, etc. but new paltz? you've got a great chef, but not food / cooking that is unique to the region.
re: bob gaj
I agree, the Mohunk segment made sense. However I don't think he showed the place in a very positive light.
I also think he completely missed the essence of the Hudson Valley. While X20 is a very good restaurant I'd hardly consider Yonkers the heart of the Hudson Valley. If he's going to include Yonkers why not the Bronx? I just wish he would have gotten a little further away from the city.
re: famdoc
He really only covered 2 food destinations. While I understand its more of a culture show than food, the Hudson Valley is a great food destination and I don't think he captured that.
re: famdoc
I watched this too and came away with the feeling that Mohonk Mountain House was the inspiration for "The Shining".
re: iluvcookies
Yup - I think that was the point. They mentioned Stephen King is a frequent visitor.
What happened to the taco truck in Newburgh? It wasn't in the episode! Did I accidentally fast forward through it or something?
I generally agree with everyone's comments. Indian Point shouldn't even have been talked about, Mohonk is certainly beautiful but not a food destination, they could've chosen better restaurants, etc. They could've gone to a local farm or something like that. I liked the Polish segment.
re: Solstice444
The taco truck scene was cut and also a visit to an apple orchard. The orchard scene is on their Travel Channel site if you'd like to see it. It also included an odd scene with an author.
Sometimes Bourdain does these oddball or freak shows. It got the impression that is what he did with this episode.
Here's a link to what I would have done. http://wp.me/pOdi8-1
re: hudsonvalleyfoodblog
I agree with you, they should've definitely visited a farm. And the high tea segment was definitely odd.
I have been a big Bourdain fan for a long time, but I think he's 'jumped the shark' since he got married, had a kid, quit smoking, and became worried about his mortality. I still love him.....but I'm just sayin'.
I've been a Bourdain fan since the beginning, but I must say this show was lame and boring. Almost as boring as the Romania show. The backyard segment in New Paltz should have been cut. In fact the whole show could have been left out. And Bourdain and Rhulman having high tea? WTF!!!! Highly disappointed!

When I was young I used to love collecting and reading R.L Stine Goosebumps books. Its fun, its adventurous and more over is the source of horror for young kids age 10-14 years old to enjoy reading.
I kept asking myself to why I stopped buying/ purchasing them when I was younger. Than I realized something struck in my mind… My parents said I had plenty of it already to open a small book sale.
See I told you so, I wasnt kidding. LMAO. Well I was thinking of still keeping it. Not sure when I will let it go,just not now I guess. I loved them to much. Meant to much to me. Childhood memories of reading after dark. Reading them under the blanket after midnight with only a small torchlight was actually fun to be recall..

Just Epic Salary Info Survey
John Lynn is the Founder of the HealthcareScene.com blog network which currently consists of 15 blogs containing almost 6000 articles with John having written over 3000 of the articles himself.

John is co-founder of InfluentialNetworks.com and Physia.com. John is highly involved in social media, and in addition to his blogs can also be found on Twitter: @techguy and @ehrandhit.
One of our most popular posts was one about Epic Salaries. Although, that was focused on what Epic payed its employees. Many people are interested in what Epic experts are getting paid as full time employees at hospitals or as Epic EHR consultants.
In an effort to better understand what Epic experts can expect to get paid, someone has put together a survey they call JESI (Just Epic Salary Information). I love transparency and so I want to support their efforts to gather as many Epic Salaries as possible. So, if you are an Epic expert, help us out and fill out the quick Epic Salary Information form. Don't worry. They don't ask for your contact information, organization name, or anything else.
The other reason I want to support this effort is that all of the aggregate information will be published for free on JustEpicSalary.info. I'll be interested to see the results of the survey.
Do you know of any other sources of Epic salary information? How do you decide what you pay your Epic experts?
This also reminds me of a recent discussion I had. This hospital CIO told me that they were talking with their doctor about their Epic implementation. The doctor was complaining about how much time they were spending to get Epic working the right way. The doctor asked why some Epic consultants couldn't just do this for him. Turns out, the doctor was the cheap resource. Having an Epic consultant do it, would have been much more expensive. Doctors don't hear that very often.

Harbaugh irked by Gilbride's remarks
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP)
San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh is taking on another coach.
FUEL TO THE FIRENFL teams kick into gear during Week 6 and we have all the best images.
Less than a year after an on-field confrontation with Detroit Lions coach Jim Schwartz over a postgame handshake, Harbaugh is miffed with New York Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride.
Harbaugh accused Gilbride on Friday of making outrageous and incendiary comments about All-Pro defensive end Justin Smith in an effort to influence officials prior to Sunday's game between the teams that met in the NFC title game in January.
Harbaugh made his remarks in response to Gilbride's answer to a question Thursday about what makes the 49ers' front line so hard to block on passing plays. The long-time Giants coordinator started off by saying the linemen have ability and great, quick players who are tough.
What angered Harbaugh is what followed.
''Smith is a beast on the inside, he's strong, he does as good a job of grabbing a hold of offensive linemen and allowing those twists to take place. He never gets called for it so he gets away with murder,'' Gilbride said. ''That, in conjunction with the ability level they have, makes them as formidable as anybody we go against, and we go against some pretty good ones in Dallas' and Philadelphia's. They're as good as anybody up front.''
Harbaugh issued a statement through the team in response.
''Kevin Gilbride's outrageous, irrational statement regarding Justin Smith's play is, first, an absurd analogy,'' Harbaugh said. ''Second, it is an incendiary comment targeting one of the truly exemplary players in this league. It's obvious that the Giants coaching staff's sole purpose is to use their high visibility to both criticize and influence officiating.''
Smith had no reaction to Gilbride's allegation that he was getting away with holding.
''Hey, better than getting caught with it,'' he said. ''I mean, I really don't know what he's talking about, to be honest with you. But if he's trying to talk himself, get some bulletin board stuff, good for him. Whatever they need to do. It doesn't bother me. I'm going to have him look him up and see who it is.''
The more he talked, the more Smith seemed puzzled by Gilbride's comments, adding that what he does is nothing out of the ordinary. He was happy Harbaugh had his back.
''Hey hold me. I mean, they hold me,'' Smith said of offensive linemen. ''So, whatever. That's the first I've heard of it. That's the first time I've heard of an offensive coordinator complaining about it. I mean, they hold me. They just hold. They're born that way (laughs). I mean I really don't know what he's talking about.''
Niners offensive lineman Alex Boone felt it was wrong for Gilbride to call out Smith.
''A lot of people can get called out for a lot of things,'' Boone said. ''You just don't do it. It's not the way football's played. So I don't really care about it.''

Boone added that it is hard for a defensive lineman to get away with holding.
''If they're holding, it's pretty blatant and you see it. Everybody's always moving around and you can't really get away with stuff like that,'' Boone said.
The Giants and 49ers played twice in San Francisco last season in two very hard-fought games. The Niners won the first 27-20 and New York took the second 20-17 in overtime, earning a trip to the Super Bowl.
The Giants won their second title in five seasons, beating the New England Patriots 21-17 in the championship game.
In the offseason, a couple of San Francisco players said they felt they gave the game away more than the Giants won.
Harbaugh said Wednesday he wasn't bitter about the outcome and he didn't feel as if his team left something on the field in conference title game.
''In fact, I felt our team did what they had done all year, they played their hearts out,'' he said. ''They gave it their all and their all was good enough. That's how I felt.''

Robotory$12.99

Robots always move towards nearby spaces containing energy tokens, using it up in the process. The black robot can only use black energy and the white robot can only use white
energy. The red robot can use both. To replace used energy, players draw tokens from a common supply: these can be black or white or both, but they are limited to having only four in their hand at a time.

When the energy supply runs out, the player with two or three robots in their area wins.
