NEW YORK, February 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

APPLIED MATERIALS INC. Research Report
Applied possesses the "idea," and with that, bright ideas to produce innovative and leading solutions for the industry. Its portfolio includes services and software for semiconductors, flat panel displays and solar photovoltaic equipment. Applied's portfolio is promising as it leads to providing real solutions for future generations. But, its portfolio cannot buoy the company from bear inflection during an economic crisis. What Applied needs to do is to develop its portfolio during this opportune time. Analysts and investors are expecting the second half of 2013 to be brighter for the US economy, and that is presumably a bull time for Applied. But, just waiting around for bullish days won't do any cyclical business any good. Applied needs to keep its executives busy. A new marketing plan that applies the strengths of Broadcom's effective strategy may give Applied its well-deserved buoyancy.

THE GOLDMAN SACHS GROUP, INC. Research Report
Goldman remains rated as "neutral" by Zacks even after surpassing their estimated earnings per share at $5.60 compared to Zacks' $3.47 estimate. It also posted record revenue of $9.24 billion and client activity saw some improvement. What got the company pulled down are the increased operational expenses. Zacks adds that Goldman will bounce back with the help of its "well-managed global franchise, strong capital base, and recent investments in the near future." An investor place report suggests the company's stock "looks to have plenty of room to run and earn profits" for investors since Goldman "knows how to make money". Reports also indicate that the company has managed to beat the system by ignoring the recently signed Volcker Rule, a law intended to prevent banks from gambling their own money, including in areas like private equity and hedge fund investing. This generated a truckload of profit for Goldman, after raising a $20.3 billion private equity fund and not investing its interest in the fund.
