Are Intel (INTC) (MSFT) (HPQ) (DELL) (NOK) (RIMM) (CSCO) Tech Dinosaurs?
According to Berenberg Bank analyst Adnaan Ahmad, tech giants like Cisco Systems (CSCO), Intel (INTC), Microsoft (MSFT), Nokia (NOK), Hewlett Packard (HPQ), Dell (DELL) and Research in Motion (RIMM) may be the next dinosaurs of the tech world.
Ahmad said, “Intel, Microsoft (MSFT), Hewlett Packard (HPQ), Dell (DELL), Nokia (NOK), Research in Motion (RIMM) and Cisco Systems (CSCO) et al could face the same plight as the tech dinosaurs (née titans) of yester-year.”
He wasn't completely negative on the sector, noting the turnarounds by IBM (IBM) and Apple (AAPL), which faced similar problems in the past.
Especially worrisome for Ahmad were RIM, Intel and Dell, which he says RIM and Intel are in denial or Dell has no idea where it's going.
On why some of these tech companies have been able to survive against past failures, Ahmad said this:
Some failures Ahmed pointed out were Sun, Yahoo (YHOO), Lotus, Polaroid and Kodak (EK).

On why some of these tech companies have been able to survive against past failures, Ahmad said this:
My take is that the tremendous cash balances and cash flows of these companies have allowed them to survive in ways that DEC and Tandy, and Commodore and Data General and Wang Labs could not. Also, the rise of leverage in the last two years has allowed them to merge and acquire, and thereby morph, in ways never dreamed of when tech companies were primarily driven by a single product or product family.I also think Nokia is making the right decisions, and even though they're going through a tough transitional stage, lowering costs and commiting to Microsoft's platform for their smartphone should make them a much stronger competitor. A strong balance sheet has helped them navigate through the choppy waters as well. The question is execution for them, and if they can, the stock could take off again. It appears investors are ready to push it up once they start releasing new smartphones into the market.
Some failures Ahmed pointed out were Sun, Yahoo (YHOO), Lotus, Polaroid and Kodak (EK).
Peabody (BTU) (CNX) (CLD) Top Coal Picks of Credit Suisse (CS)
Credit Suisse (NYSE:CS) says among coal firms they like those with more thermal exposure, such as Peabody Energy (BTU), Consol Energy (CNX) and Cloud Peak Energy (CLD).
The giant bank cited an improving thermal market in the U.S. as the catalyst behind their assertion.
Coal companies like Alpha Natural Resources (ANR) and Arch Coal (ACI) are less desirable in the eyes of Credit Suisse, as they have more exposure to metallurgical coal.
Credit Suisse noted that the drawdown in inventory of 18 million tons in the U.S. was the highest since 1995.
They see the thermal coal market in the U.S. to continue to be strong.
Peabody was trading at $34.44, down $1.54, or 4.28 percent, as of 11:01 AM EDT. Consol Energy was at $34.52. down $0.50, or 1.43 percent. Cloud Peak Energy was at $17.37, falling $0.38, or 2.14 percent.

Gold Prices Jump as Bargain Hunters Return
Several elements have contributed to the recent sell off in gold, with the primary one being investors covering losses in other investment vehicles.
Bargain hunters are circling gold today as options expiration has them looking for deals after the 12 percent four-day sell off.
Gold for December delivery was adding $67.40 at $1,662.10 an ounce at the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. It almost reached $1,800 an ounce before the markets opened in New York.
Those unfamiliar with gold are questioning whether the run is over, showing they completely misunderstand the reasons behind the decade-long soaring of gold prices.
The endless pouring of money into the market by the Federal Reserve, and the enormous debt crisis the Western world faces are the primary motivators behind the support of gold prices, and absolutely nothing has changed in that regard, so gold prices will continue to rise for a long time to come, as the Obama recession continues.
Barrick Gold (ABX) was trading at $48.42, gaining $1.03, or 2.17 percent, as of 12:24 PM EDT. Newmont Mining (NEM) was at $64.75, up $0.36, or 0.56 percent. Eldorado (EGO) was at $18.22, jumping $0.46, or 2.59 percent. Yamana (AUY) was trading at $14.50, up $0.34, or 2.40 percent. Novagold (NG) was trading at $7.34, up $0.06, or 0.82 percent.
