| theflyonthewall.com: | Google's Super Bowl ad raises marketing strategy questions, WSJ says | | Google's (GOOG) decision to advertise its search engine during the Super Bowl may be more about marketing itself than the subject matter, according to the Wall Street Journal's "Heard on the Street". As it seeks a broader array of customers, its heretofore use of its own outlets for marketing will not be enough, and its focus would be better directed to its new products.

| theflyonthewall.com: | Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" | | Jim Cramer said, "The semiconductor stocks are back." They now have both cyclical and secular growth trends going in their favor, and the analysts haven't even noticed it yet. Cramer said he poured over the conference calls of dozens of semiconductor stocks over the weekend, and company after company delivered blowout earnings that were just too large to be written off as strength from a recovery global economy. He said the semis are clearly benefiting from both the cyclical economic trend as well as a long-term secular boom in digital gadgets, from cell phones to e-book readers and from smart electric power to smarter cars. Cramer said the analysts are dismissing the trend as routine growth, which is a mistake, and an opportunity for investors to get in ahead of the curve. Cramer said clearly that he doesn't care which semiconductor stock investors choose, as long as they choose at least one for their portfolio. Cramer interviewed Rep. John Sullivan (R., Okla.), about his efforts to bring natural gas into the mainstream of America's energy policy. Sullivan shared Cramer's view that natural gas needs to be the bridge fuel for America to ween itself from foreign oil until alternative energies like wind, solar and biofuels can come into fruition. Next, Cramer said, investors could've seen the earnings beat at toy maker Hasbro (HAS) coming, if they had been paying attention to the company's dividend boost last Thursday. Cramer explained that nothing shows a company's strength more than when it boosts its dividend. Hasbro is a lot more than just Monopoly, Cramer told viewers. That's why he recommended the stock on July 19 and is up 38% on that recommendation. Cramer said with several blockbuster movies like Iron Man 2 and Toy Story 3 on the horizon, Hasbro should continue to deliver the stock, and dividend, growth investors are looking for. MAD MAIL: Cramer told a viewer that Mattel (MAT) is not as good as Hasbro, but it's a good company. Cramer told another viewer that he's still a believer in Apple (AAPL), but he did lower his price target on Google (GOOG) because of the company's friction with China. Cramer told a third viewer that he does not like Atmel (ATML) as much as rival Skyworks Solutions (SWKS). Cramer told a final viewer that Nucor (NUE) remains his favorite steel stock and he'd continue to stick with it. LIGHTNING ROUND: (Bullish) NKE; GLD; EGO; GILD; V; CHD; CLX; CL; POT; TNH.

| theflyonthewall.com: | Google is working on speech translation for phones, UK Times reports | | According to Google's (GOOG) head of translation services, Franz Och, the company is working on software that translates languages spoken over the phone, the UK Times reports. It already has a voice recognition system that enables phone users to conduct web searches by speaking commands into their phones rather than typing them in and an automatic system for translating text on computers. Now, Google is working on combining the two technologies to produce software capable of understanding a caller’s voice and translating it into a synthetic equivalent in a foreign language.

| theflyonthewall.com: | Google levels to watch | | The shares continue their decline, with the 10-day moving average, last at $534.73, acting as downtrend resistance. There is round-number support at the $525 area. A breakdown below this level could see additional downside pressure. In that event, the following support levels could become additional downside objectives: $519, $510.88, $501.10. Longer term, it does appear likely that the shares could test down to the 200-day moving average, last at $493.02. It would take a sustained breakout above the 10-day moving average to turn the trend back to bullish. :theflyonthewall.com |

| theflyonthewall.com: | Google's deal with authors draws new criticism, WSJ reports | | Google Books (GOOG) has had two settlements with authors regarding digital books and now there's new criticism with the agreements, according to the Wall Street Journal's "Digits" blog. Amazon.com (AMZN) yesterday filed an objection to the revised agreement, including that the agreement violates the U.S. Copyright Act. “The (settlement) continues to give Google exclusive rights likely to lead to a monopoly,” it read. U.C. Berkeley Professor Pam Samuelson submitted an objection on behalf of a group of academic authors, saying: “We do not believe that the settlement of a class action lawsuit is a proper way to make such a profound set of changes in rights of authors and publishers, in markets for books, and procedures for resolving disputes as the (settlement) would bring about.” Reference Link :theflyonthewall.com |
