Contre toute attente ( je suis dans l'erreur aussi ), l'Or va aller tester son dernier support vers 1230$....en bas de ça c'est le désastre pour les "goldeux"....certain analystes parlent même d'un oz en bas de 1000$ dans le 4em trimestre de 2014...
Et dire que plusieurs grosses minières ont un prix de revient aux alentours de 1800$

EnteroMedics Inc. (NASDAQ: ETRM) may be a largely unknown microcap stock to most investors. The company is in the development stages of making medical devices using neuroblocking technology to treat obesity, metabolic diseases and other gastrointestinal disorders. A new research report has shares rising handily.Canaccord Genuity reiterated its Buy rating, but where the big boost is coming from is that the firm doubled its price target to $3.00 from $1.50 on Tuesday. The prior price target already implied upside of about 28% from the $1.17 close on Monday. This new $3 price target implies upside of a whopping 150% if the call turns out to be correct.

Investors do need to understand that there is risk here. Shares were recently lower on a concern over the FDA decision in the first half of 2014 after it formally responded to the company’s premarket approval application. At $1.17, the 52-week range is $0.81 to $3.70, and we would caution that the market cap is a mere $65 million.

Canaccord Genuity’s William Plovanic and Kyle Rose made the research call here after traveling with EnteroMedecs’ management team. The analysts were quoted in the report as saying:

EnteroMedics expects to respond to those questions within the next 30 days, and an FDA panel meeting is now expected late in the fourth quarter of 2013, or more likely the first quarter of 2014. Given the relative safety of the device, moderate weight loss, and lack of alternatives for obese patients, we believe the likelihood of a positive panel result is high. As such, we are raising our price target and believe the risk/reward is favorable for investors with a speculative risk profile.

The analysts are basing this value on a post-approval valuation of the Maestro System for obesity. The firm is putting a system price at $10,000 to $12,500, and the assumption of $10,000 per implant.

Ford Motor Company  announced on Monday that it is set to launch its expansion of the company’s global flexible manufacturing business.

By 2017, Ford states that it will increase its global flexible manufacturing to produce an average of four different models at each of its plans around the world. The automaker also plans to have 90% of its plants running on a three-shift or crew model by 2017, which could increase production by more than 30%. Ford also plans to have all of its vehicles built in nine core platforms, as opposed to its 15 platform building model now.

Commenting on the expansion, Ford Executive Chairman Bill Ford noted “One hundred years ago, my great-grandfather had a vision to build safe and efficient transportation for everyone. I am proud he was able to bring the freedom of mobility to millions by making cars affordable to families and that his vision of serving people still drives everything we do today.”

Dîner d'affaires...

Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL), made the odd move of having dinner with ancient raider Carl Icahn, who owns between $1.5 billion to $2 billion in the consumer electronics giant. Apple’s market cap is just below $450 billion. Icahn had the audacity to press Cook hard for a $150 billion share buyback. It is a wonder Cook heard Icahn out at all when he should have avoided the meeting.The encounter shows two things. The first is that Cook is at least willing to go through the motions of having conversations with shareholders — even ones with relatively modest holdings. The second is Apple wants to defend its extraordinary balance sheet, which was built up over the years by Steve Jobs. Jobs was not willing to discuss the cash balance, although, as it increases, there became fewer and fewer defenses for its magnitude. It is too large for M&A purposes. Like cash balances at most public corporations, it is likely to be invested in fixed income instruments that yield next to nothing.

Apple’s board certainly has discussed the future of the company’s cash hoard, which balloons more and more each quarter. What the board has to avoid is the perception that any outside investor can jar the money loose, causing the board to look weak, and subject to the demands of investors with modest ownership. It is one thing for Icahn to own less than $2 billion in shares. It would be quite another if he owned $20 billion. A much larger stake would, at least buy him a seat at the table.

The raider business in back in vogue, as it was in the 1980s. Icahn and his peers have bought pieces of a number of public companies and threatened managements unless they change their course. Some of these firms are susceptible to the pressure. Their market caps are small enough that raiders can force decisions on them through taking a substantial positions. Boards of directors cannot afford to ignore these raiders, because they can become huge investors.

Icahn cannot hope to buy 10% of the shares of Apple, and cannot afford to risk, if he could, a larger position than that. Cook needs to decline any more of Icahn’s invitations. The future of Apple’s cash is a matter for Apple’s board. It is one that should be the subject of private deliberations, and not a dinner out with Icahn.

Une surenchère pour Blackberry?

Blackberry on total call volume of 90K contracts (62K puts). October weekly call option implied volatility is at 79, October is at 65, November is at 62, December is at 53; compared to its 26-week average of 63 according to Track Data, suggesting large near term price movement on Cerberus and other investors interested in buyout, WSJ says.

The U.S. government began a partial shutdown at midnight for the first time in 17 years, putting as many as 800,000 federal employees out of work.

Satisfries $$$$

While French fries are a staple of the fast-food burger business, they have long been vilified by nutrition experts as little more than vehicles for adding fat, salt and calories to diets.

Now Burger King has come up with a fry that it says delivers about 40 percent less fat and 30 percent fewer calories than the fries sold by its archenemy McDonalds . Burger King says that 70 grams of its new fries, named Satisfries, has 150 calories, while the same amount of McDonald's fries has 226 calories.

"You live in Manhattan and might be having a kale smoothie on your way to work this morning," said Eric Hirschhorn, chief marketing officer for Burger King, the nation's No. 3 hamburger chain after McDonald's and Wendy's. "But a lot of people don't even know what kale is, and if they do, they don't want to eat it. You have to give people what they want."

Burger King, which has struggled as a series of owners traded it like a baseball card, was late to try to improve the nutritional quality of its food.

But under its newest owner, the private equity group 3G Capital, the chain has invested time and money in retooling its menu over the last two years, adding choices like cranberry apple salads and mango smoothies and taking one of two slices of cheese off its burgers in the biggest changes to its menu since opening in 1954.

"Behavior doesn't change as quick as attitudes," Mr. Hirschhorn said. "It's easy to put things on a menu and check off the box, but the reality is that nobody buys them."

Blackberry

BlackBerry Limited (NASDAQ: BBRY) (BB.to) is in serious trouble on its own. The company’s only hope is a buyout under its search for strategic alternatives, and now have the first summation of a deal. The company announced after another share halt on Monday that it has signed a letter of intent agreement with a consortium to be led by Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited to be acquired.

Be advised that this is subject to due diligence AND that shareholders are not getting any big premium here at all. In fact, the buyout is a cash offer of only $9.00 per share. The preliminary terms call for this transaction to be valued at a mere $4.7 billion. Another risk here is that the buyout group is seeking financing.

Fairfax owns approximately 10 percent of BlackBerry’s common shares. Of course the company did bother to mention that it intends to contribute the shares of BlackBerry it currently holds into the transaction.

Criteo / PUBLICITÉ WEB

Chiffre d'affaires

French online advertising firm Criteo aims to raise up to $190 million in a listing in the United States in the coming weeks, testing investor appetite for technology start-ups ahead of bigger debuts such as social network Twitter.

The company, which uses tracking technology to target ads at consumers surfing the web, filed the preliminary prospectus for its initial public offering to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Wednesday. (link.reuters.com/qax23v)

No details were given on how many American Depositary Shares Criteo aims to sell or their expected price on the Nasdaq. JP Morgan, Deutsche Bank Securities and Jefferies are the lead underwriters for the issue.

Criteo's move comes as investors pin their hopes that Twitter will reignite technology IPOs, dampened by Facebook's botched listing in May 2012.

There have been 118 IPOs in the United States this year, raising $27.9 billion, a 9 percent drop from the same period a year earlier, according to Thomson Reuters data.

Criteo, which will trade under the symbol "CRTO", was founded in 2005 in Paris and became a darling in the online advertising sector by boosting the rate at which Internet surfers click on display advertising.

Criteo's technology focuses on "re-targeting" - catching users who have visited a shopping website without buying anything, and then showing the ads for similar items on other sites in order to tempt them back.

Criteo's customers, including travel website Expedia, computer maker Lenovo and retailer Macy's, pay the start-up only when a web surfer actually clicks on the marketing message they were shown.

It is one of a slew of companies - from Google to Facebook - that is benefiting as major advertisers shift spending from television and print outlets to the Internet.

Through 2015, two-thirds of the growth in total advertising expenditures will be from the Internet, according to forecaster Zenith Optimedia. Some 24 percent of global ad spend will be online by 2015, compared with 40 percent on TV and 22 percent in newspapers and magazines.

Criteo said proceeds from the IPO would be used for general corporate purposes, including sales and marketing, product development and the acquisition and development of technologies.

La 'planche à billets' tourne dans le fond....BOOST MARKETS AND GOLD

Surprise mercredi PM. Malgré l'amélioration de l'économie américaine, la banque centrale américaine  a annoncé qu'elle maintenait intégralement son soutien exceptionnel, défiant ainsi les pronostics des analystes.

Selon le communiqué du Comité de politique monétaire (FOMC) réuni depuis mardi, la Fed va continuer d'acheter chaque mois pour 85 milliards de dollars d'obligations d'État, afin de faciliter le financement de la dette américaine, mais aussi de titres hypothécaires dans l'espoir de soutenir le marché de l'immobilier. Principale raison avancée : le resserrement actuel des conditions financières qui, "s'il continuait, pourrait ralentir le rythme de la reprise de l'économie et du marché du travail". Un resserrement des conditions financières pourtant déclenché par l'annonce d'un possible retournement de politique monétaire en juin par le patron de l'institution lui-même, Ben Bernanke...Liberté d'action

La Fed estime maintenant que les taux d'emprunt sur le marché immobilier ont trop remontés et attend davantage de preuves de la reprise économique avant de commencer à réduire son programme de rachat massif d'actifs. D'autant qu'une bataille politique s'annonce une fois encore d'ici à la fin de l'année sur le relèvement du plafond de la dette américaine.

TAKE-TWO INTERACT SOFTWARE

GTA V is a fitting tribute to the the seventh console generation and the game is set to break all sales records when it launches tomorrow. At the time of writing, GTA 5 is a matter of hours from release in the US and has seen busy midnight launches across Europe.

VGChartz estimates that total worldwide pre-order figures for Grand Theft Auto V for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 have reached unprecidented levels. Our data shows that the game has more than 7 million pre-orders worldwide breaking down to around 3.7 million for the Xbox 360 and around 3.4 million for the PlayStation 3.

Sales for the day one are expected to reach more than 10 million units and this number could grow to 14-15 million units by the weekend. To put that number into perspective, the current record holder, Call of Duty: Black Ops II sold just under 11 million units in its first five days on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Depuis le lancement de l'iPhone, il manquait à Apple quelque chose de capital, un accord avec China Mobile, le premier opérateur chinois, ayant 700 millions de clients. La faute en revenait pour l'essentiel au prix trop élevé de l'iPhone qui le rendait difficile à vendre en masse.

L'iPhone 5C aurait avant tout été conçu dans ce but et il se rapporte qu'Apple aurait trouvé un accord avec cet opérateur afin qu'il propose ce modèle subventionné. Pour Apple cela pourrait signifier des dizaines ou même des centaines de millions d'appareils vendus en plus, un vrai Graal.
Il reste maintenant à savoir à quel prix sera vendu l'iPhone 5C en Chine, si Apple le vendra aussi en occident (ce n'est pas acquis) et enfin, s'il est vendu partout dans le monde, à quel prix. Il y a en tout cas fort peu de chances que China Mobile le paye 450$, une somme encore trop élevée pour un opérateur qui a moins besoin d'Apple que le contraire.
