| theflyonthewall.com: | Eastman Kodak to appeal ruling on patent infringement action against Apple, RIM | | Eastman Kodak (EKDKQ) announced that it has received notice of the Administrative Law Judge’s initial determination in the U.S. International Trade Commission action brought by Kodak against Apple (AAPL) and Research In Motion (RIMM). The ALJ concluded that the Apple iPhone 3G and the accused RIM BlackBerry devices infringe Kodak’s patent, although his recommendation is that the patent claim is invalid, Kodak said. The final decision of the ITC, based on the deliberation of the full Commission, is expected by September 21. Kodak said, “We are pleased the ALJ has concluded that Kodak’s patent is infringed by Apple and RIM. We expect to appeal to the full Commission his recommendation on validity. The ALJ’s recommendation represents a preliminary step in a process that we are confident will conclude in Kodak’s favor. In a previous ITC investigation, a different ALJ found this same Kodak patent to be valid and infringed by Samsung, whose products are similar to those offered by Apple and RIM.” The patent at issue, US Patent No. 6,292,218, relates to a technology invented by Kodak for previewing images on a digital camera-enabled device. :theflyonthewall.com |

| theflyonthewall.com: | On The Fly: Closing Wrap | | Stocks on Wall Street were lower on the day. Stock futures traded around fair value for most of the pre-market trading session, leading to a relatively quiet open for the broader market. The nearly in line jobless claims data had little effect on the market. The averages dropped following worse than expected data on manufacturing from the Philly Fed and an unexpected decline in the leading economic indicators. The averages never really gained any upside momentum as the market’s losing streak continued for another day… ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., the number of people seeking unemployment benefits was unchanged last week at 370,000, versus expectations for a decline to 365,000. The leading economic indicators declined 0.1%, versus an expected increase of 0.1%. The Philly Fed survey had a reading of -5.8, versus expectations for a reading of +10.0. In Europe, worries about the health of Spain's banks resurfaced on a report that customers at Bankia had withdrawn more than EUR1B from their accounts in the past week. Meanwhile, Fitch ratings agency downgraded Greece deeper into junk territory... COMPANY NEWS: Wal-Mart (WMT) surged 4.21% higher after its earnings and revenue beat expectations and its forecast for next quarter was about in line with consensus at the mid-point... MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers were Ctrip.com International (CTRP), up $1.26, or 6.41%, to $20.91, after it posted a sharp rise in its Q1 revenue, and SunPower (SPWR), up 51c, or 10.04%, to $5.59, as Apple (AAPL) got approval for a major solar project in North Carolina and the U.S. set duties on Chinese solar imports... Noteworthy losers included Advance Auto Parts (AAP), down $13.93, or 16.97%, to $68.17, after its earnings missed estimates and the company said it sees 2012 same store sales growth in the low single digits, and MEMC Electronic Materials (WFR), down 47c, or 22.07%, to $1.66, following the resignation of its Chief Financial Officer... INDICES: The Dow lost $156.06, or 1.24%, to $12,442.49; the Nasdaq fell $60.35, or 2.10%, to $2,813.69; and the S&P 500 dropped $19.94, or 1.51%, to $1,304.86. :theflyonthewall.com |

| theflyonthewall.com: | Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" | | Jim Cramer noted that housing is coming back "and it's going to take a lot of sectors with it." Cramer said the housing market may have bottomed out in 2007, but things are finally beginning to change as homebuilders like Toll Brothers (TOL) and Lennar (LEN) are up 31% and 40% for the year, respectively. Home builders need materials, said Cramer, so why not look into a Masco (MAS) or Sherwin-Williams (SHW) or Owens Corning (OC)? All of these stocks are cheap, Cramer says. Home buyers will need loans, so that's good news for Wells Fargo (WFC) and US Bancorp (USB), said Cramer. They will also need insurance, think Travelers (TRV). While those may be the obvious plays, Cramer said there are plenty of other companies that benefit as well. Time Warner (TWX) will provide cable service to many new homes while Verizon (VZ) and AT&T (T) will provide phone service. Cramer also touted retail, which does well when homes are increasing in value. He likes Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY), along with Home Depot (HD) and Costco (COST). EXECUTIVE DECISION: Cramer once again sat down with Richard Pops, chairman and CEO of drug maker Alkermes (ALKS), a company that expects to see double-digit revenue growth next year. Pops said that Alkermes is now in the sweet spot; it's large enough that it has all of the resources it needs to make medicines, get them approved and manufacture them, but it's also not too big that bureaucracy slows its pace of innovation. One of Alkermes' most promising treatments is for alcoholism. And, it also has a promising drug in phase III testing for schizophrenia. Cramer said he continues to like the innovation and growth at Alkermes, even if the company remains a speculative play, as it still has no earnings. OFF THE CHARTS:The technicals are warning investors to be more cautious going forward, as another 5% drop to the downside could be looming. "Keep your eye on the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX)", Cramer concluded. NO HUDDLE OFFENSE: While everything is going right inside Cisco (CSCO), outside factors, including decreasing government spending, are an issue that every technology company will need to address in the near future, Cramer says. Next, Cramer revisited the Hospitality Index, a group of stocks created by restauranteur Danny Meyer in 2009. The Hospitality Index consisted of 17 stocks including Whole Foods (WFM), Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG), Apple (AAPL), Costco (COST) and Amazon.com (AMZN). Since its introduction in 2009, the S&P 500 has delivered a 65% return while the Hospitality Index returned a stellar 257% return with only one stock, DreamWorks Animation (DWA), posting a loss. Cramer said the same things that have made these companies a success over the past three years still hold true today. LIGHTNING ROUND: Hewlett-Packard (HPQ): Cramer doesn't like the stock at all and says "it can go lower, much lower." Pan American Silver (PAAS) is the best house in a shaky neighborhood. Cramer doesn't want to own any miners, they're too dangerous. Hercules Offshore (HERO) If you consider it a speculative stock, Cramer blesses it as a long-term bet on oil. Prudential (PRU) Cramer likes it, but is cautious as the stock doesn't have yield protection. Zipcar (ZIP) Cramer said he would look again when the stock is between $6 and $9 a share. Chesapeake Granite Wash Trust (CHKR) Cramer thinks you can buy it lower. Deere & Co.(DE): "It's a good company but the commodities are weak". Cramer wants to be 'careful'.
