Market Overview

Many investors have lost value in their stocks and bonds due to the increasing interest rate and inflation. Looking at the DJIA, NASDAQ, SP500, we see that they are falling behind. DJIA has fallen 62.59 points (0.59%), NASDAQ is down 15.47 points (.74%), and SP500 is behind 8.38 (0.71%). The overall market is not doing very well. If this phenomenon continues to exist, investors will lose a great deal of money.

There are several interesting facts about some of the companies out there. Let’s take a look them real quick. Analysts suggest that there are certain stocks that are doing well now such as CTI Molecular (NASDAQ: CTMI), Steris Corp. (NYSE: STE), and Delta Natural Gas Company (NASDAQ: DGAS). Investors should buy and invest in these stocks for the long-term according to analysts. There are also several companies that people should stay away from, at least for the moment due to their underperformance: People’s Bank (NASDAQ: PBCT), Sigma Tel (NASDAQ: SGTL), Fidelity National (NYSE: FNF).

The bond marker at this time is optimal in relation to the stock market. It has gone up to 42.08 from 41.9 (Nov 16, 2004), up .43%. It is not a big increase, but a better option compared to equities. A general rule to remember is when the stock market is doing well, the bond market is not. And the reverse is also true. When the stock market is not doing well, the bond market is doing better.

In addition, people are concerned that the real estate market is overvalued. Unlike the stock market, real estate is local, and most people buy houses to live in. Very few people buy investment properties. Overvaluation of people’s principal asset can have profound effects on the overall economy.

Thus the Federal Reserve decided to double its key short-term lending rate, the federal funds rate, in little more than four months. The Fed wants to keep the overall rate of inflation from accelerating. Of course, there is a risk of deflation, but it is only a slim probability. At the moment, housing remains strong and attractive to many people. Short-term rates are still relatively low, while the long-term rate has dropped since last June. These low interest rates make housing more affordable, thus increasing demand in the short run. In turn, this pushes up home prices, since the housing supply does not respond all that quickly. It is certain that rising interest rates will puncture the housing bubble. The critical fact is that we do not know when it will happen. We have to wait and see how the market will respond in the upcoming months.

Advantages of Small Cap Stock Volatility

Though investors might not always appreciate it, smaller stocks' greater volatility is an advantage. Because of that greater volatility, for example, buy limits entered in well below the market not-infrequently get eventually filled, just as is the case with sell limits that are well above the market. Investors in large-cap stocks are rarely so lucky.

Client, U.S. BioDefense, Steals the Show at Project T2

Financial News USA client U.S. BioDefense (OTCBB: UBDF) sponsored the event alongside Southern California Edison, Latham & Watkins, Morrison & Foerster, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Canadian Consulate General, and Genzyme.

U.S. BioDefense was extremely happy with the results and sees many positive relationships developing from the contacts made at the conference.

Public Companies Need Investor Relations, Need Investor Awareness

Not well-known companies smaller than Microsoft, Google and Wal-Mart can benefit significantly from financial public relations to get exposure to investors who are looking for new investment opportunities. Without this critical component a small public company can miss tapping the full potential of its public entity. The company's news must reach the right audiences in order to maximize shareholder value.

Financial News USA is keenly aware of the benefits of a properly executed investor awareness program. Our client, AirRover Wi-Fi (OTCBB: AVWF), has recently benefited from one of our campaigns by having their news of a pending acquisition (http://www.financialnewsusa.com/release.php?rlsid=859) reach the right people. This was accomplished with our Industry News press release program along with having the company featured in ValueRich magazine (http://www.financialnewsusa.com/release.php?rlsid=877), a leading small-cap and lifestyle magazine.
