Mines de cuivre au Chili...La grosse communiste Michelle arrive, faut partir
Many Chileans will cheer if Michelle Bachellet romps home as expected in a run-off presidential vote this month, but copper mining companies – the mainstay of the economy – are breaking out in a nervous sweat at the prospect.
The industry, which accounts for a third of global copper production and reserves, and a fifth of Chilean economic output, has seen production costs double over the past five years because of higher wage costs and energy bills and lower ore qualities.
And the new government is likely to add higher taxes to these woes.
Ms Bachelet, a left politician who has made free education one of her main campaign platforms, plans to raise corporate income tax from 20 per cent to 25 per cent.
In addition, Chile may bin a law that protects foreign investments in the sector from higher royalty fees, which may deter some projects.
In addition to a 30 per cent slide in copper prices since they peaked two years ago – analysts at Goldman Sachs predict prices will fall a further 12 per cent in 2014 – and a global copper surplus, Chile’s loss of competitiveness has helped reduce a pipeline of about $100bn of potential mining investments down to just $30bn, according to Joaquin Villarino, president of Chile’s mining council.
PLUG, un bon long shot ?
Plug Power is a speculative small cap fuel cell company that has exploded recently. This stock price is up almost 160% in the last three weeks and the stock price is up over 1700% from its 52 week low of 0.12 when the company was on the verge of bankruptcy. Plug Power has made some strides that merit some of the increase in stock price but this company has a history of over-promising and under-delivering and investors should take heed of the past.
Plug Power makes fuel cell modules that replace batteries for fork lifts. The fuel cell modules have several advantages over batteries but cost a lot more money. Several big companies have bought Plug Power's fuel cell fork lifts for their distribution centers/warehouses such as Walmart , Sysco, Coca Cola, and Whole Foods Market as well as other notable companies.
However, adoption has been slow and Plug Power has a history of heavy losses. In fact Plug Power was getting seriously close to having to declare bankruptcy this past year. The company managed to raise money at very unfavorable terms to existing shareholders and at heavy dilution. The share count ballooned from around 38 million diluted shares a year ago to around 125 million today which is serious dilution. In May Plug Power picked up a strategic investment from its partner Air Liquide. This was the catalyst that started Plug Power on its upward trend.
The biggest pop for Plug Power's share price has come in the past few days. The company gave a business update and announced they expect to be profitable in 2014. Their version of profitability is "EBITDAS" (net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and non-cash stock compensation expense) which is some late 90's tech boom version of profitability as opposed to GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles). However, the stock price has jumped from around $0.80 to $2.06 after the announcement.
Plug Power has made similar big predictions in the past that didn't pan out. In 2012 the company forecast revenue of 40 million and predicted gross margins of +10% in an investors presentation. The company actually booked 26 million in revenue, had gross margins of -57%, and a net loss of 32 million.

Apple n'avait pas besoin de réductions pour vendre durant le Black Friday
L'étude montre que les appareils qui ont vu leur présence le plus progresser sont l'iPad Air, l'iPad mini et l'iPhone 5C. Apple n'avait donc pas besoin de proposer de grosses promotions pour vendre plus de produits à cette occasion et les bons d'achat offerts (aux Etats-Unis) ont largement suffi à inciter les clients à franchir le pas. Il est toutefois possible également que des clients aient attendu ces promotions quelles qu'elles soient pour acheter ce qu'ils attendaient, mais Apple a toute façon fait mieux que nombre de ses concurrents qui ont fait de vraies réductions sur les tarifs.

Apple has completed its acquisition of PrimeSense, the Israel-based company focused on 3-D sensor technology, for a price sources said was around $360 million.
PrimeSense became widely known in the sensor technology space for its early work with Microsoft’s Kinect gaming product, which uses cameras and depth sensors to capture players’ motions and incorporate them into Xbox gameplay. (Microsoft now deploys its own homegrown sensor technology for the current generation of Kinect devices, which ship with the recently launched Xbox One.)
In subsequent years, PrimeSense has expanded its product line to include more hardware than the original large, stationary sensor seen in the Kinect, creating new, smaller sensors targeted at more compact devices. The company’s Capri model, for example, seems particularly well suited for the mobile market.
PrimeSense’s technology could be used in any number of Apple’s actual and hypothetical products in development, including the long-rumored Apple television set or an Apple-made smartwatch.

Sony and Microsoft are about to release their next-generation gaming consoles on Nov. 15 and Nov. 22, respectively. The launch will be the biggest console launch in video game history, with PS4 and Xbox One game pre-orders having already reached 725,000 and 525,000 units, respectively. The PS4 is slightly cheaper at $399 than the Xbox One at $499, which is partially because the Xbox comes with a Kinect, Microsoft's gaming camera.
With the next-generation console launch coming up, GameStop will likely see a positive spike in sales. When this is paired with a continued rise in margins the near future looks bright for the video game store. Expect a positive close to the year for GameStop and continued margin expansion as the company expands its mobile and digital business.

China’s PC juggernaut Lenovo might be the last desktop maker standing, so it makes sense that it buys BlackBerry, only insofar as both seem to be in an old tech business.
Lenovo with PCs and laptops, and BlackBerry quickly disappearing from the smart phone space after basically creating it in the mid-2000s.
Yang Yuanqing, chairman and chief executive officer of Lenovo said this weekend that the company was actively looking to get into mobile. His remarks follow Chinese media reports that the company is in talks with Waterloo, Ontario-based BlackBerry to acquire the brand for around $5 billion.
