Steve Ballmer passe à la caisse


Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer has sold 49.3 million shares in the company worth some 1.33 billion dollars, according to a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Ballmer, 54, confirmed in a statement late Friday he is "selling some of his holdings of Microsoft stock to gain financial diversification and to assist in tax planning before the end of the calendar year."
He stressed that the move should not be seen as a lack of confidence in the software giant and he remained "fully committed" to the company.
Microsoft said Ballmer held approximately 408 million shares in Microsoft before the latest sale and plans to sell up to 75 million shares by the end of the year.
According to the SEC filing, Ballmer sold 21.87 million shares, 14.35 million shares and 13.12 million shares between Wednesday and Friday.
He currently holds 358.91 million shares in Microsoft worth some 9.64 billion dollars, or 4.2 percent of the company.

OPEP


La demande mondiale de pétrole pourrait revenir à ses niveaux de 2007, la reprise augmentant la consommation d'or noir mais l'Opep n'envisage pas d'accroître ses capacités de production. Son secrétaire général Abdallah al Badri a dit que les cours du pétrole ne devraient pas renouer avec un prix de 100 dollars le baril l'an prochain, en soulignant que le degré de spéculation était aujourd'hui inférieur à celui observé en 2008, quand les cours avaient alors atteint leur pic historique à près de 150 dollars le baril.

If you can’t beat them, join them !


Electronic Arts Inc. ERTS.q has announced a five-year strategic relationship with Facebook. EA noted that more than 200 million people play games every month on Facebook and EA has already expanded efforts in Apps and social media, so today’s news seems a logical extension of its efforts which will likely be followed by more deals to come.
The goal is to create a simple and accessible experience for those who play games and purchase virtual goods on Facebook, and the Facebook Credits will become the exclusive payment method.
----------------------------------
ERTS.q va sortir ses résultats après la fermeture des marché aujourd'hui. Selon certains analystes , le géant du "gaming" avait besoin d'une bonne news pour adoucir les mauvaises nouvelles...
EA is forecast to swing to a fiscal second quarter loss of 10 cents a share, according to a survey conducted by Thomson Reuters. Sales are expected to decline 30% to $815 million.

Morgan Stanley Says


Apple Inc. may triple revenue from China over two years as the maker of the iPhone expands its sales network in the country and Chinese consumers become increasingly affluent, Morgan Stanley said.
China may contribute more than $9 billion of sales to Apple in the year ending September 2012, compared with $2.9 billion last fiscal year, Morgan Stanley analysts Katy Huberty and Mathew Schneider wrote in a report yesterday. Growth of Apple’s earnings from Asia will outpace other regions, they wrote.
Apple last month started taking orders from customers in China via its website as the world’s most valuable technology company steps up efforts to market its products in the world’s fastest-growing major economy.

George


Billionaire investor George Soros is evidently bullish. According to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, he recently raised his stake in Platinum Group Metals PLG.amex - PTM.tsx to 9.7%.
Soros Fund Management now owns 15.5 million Platinum Group shares, up from just 1.5 million shares in his last disclosed quarterly portfolio, and significant enough for it to become the company's largest shareholder.
Platinum Group chiefly looks for platinum resources and has mineral rights in Canada and South Africa. It recently raised C$125 million to increase its stake in a platinum mine expansion project to 75%.
The company also recently said it's open to various "strategic" options, including a potential sale or merger, partnerships and the creation of a platinum stream, which might have also prompted an investment from the hedge fund titan.
Platinum and palladium have been rallying along with other precious metals. While gold has received the most interest because of its status as a safe haven, platinum is in demand as sales of automobiles in emerging markets continue to rise.

La Chine se hissera au deuxième rang des économies mondiales cette année, les chiffres trimestriels du produit intérieur brut augurant d'un dépassement imminent du Japon. Directeur des investissements de Robeco Asie, Arnout van Rijn souligne que l'Empire du milieu est devenu un pays a revenus moyens, après trois décennies de croissance moyenne à deux chiffres, alors qu'il souffrait d'un dénuement extrême à la fin des années 1970. En dépit de signes de surchauffe, il ne s'attend pas à un atterrissage brutal. Il ne juge pas les actions chinoises survalorisées, mais considère que d'autres marchés asiatiques sont moins chers, à l'image de Taiwan et de la Corée du sud.
Pékin encourage les augmentations salariales, un vecteur de développement de la consommation intérieure et de réduction des inégalités et le gouvernement est conscient des enjeux environnementaux ...il a pris des mesures pour brider la pollution des entreprises.La Chine n'est qu'à mi-parcours de son long cycle d'expansion".
