Exxon Mobil: Profitability Analysis I have been analyzing big oil stocks that offer a good return on investment. My analysis here is based on the profitability ratios in the financial statements of Exxon Mobil (XOM) over the last five years. When a firm has strong profitability ratios, it portrays to an investor that it provides a good return on his or her investment. The profitability numbers that I came across for Exxon were very encouraging. Keep in mind, however, that this is just one of the many ways to analyze a stock. Recently, Exxon Mobil was surpassed as the world's largest publicly-traded oil company by Russia's Rosneft (OJSCY.OB). Oil and gas companies keep the world running and will do so for many more years. There are none better than Exxon which manages hundreds of billions of dollars of capital and generates excellent returns for its investors. A profitability analysis of a company involves looking at a class of financial metrics to determine a firm's capacity to generate profitable sales from the resources it has. Typically, higher ratio numbers translate to a higher investment value for the firm. The income statement numbers are far superior to its closest rivals, Chevron (CVX) and BP (BP). Exxon's figures for net income, sales and income before interest and income tax expense are double what it is for Chevron, BP and even Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A). XOM is up 3.5% over the last three months and it's getting close to its 52-week high of $93.67. Read the rest of the article: Exxon Mobil: Profitability Analysis - Seeking Alpha

These are some Bloomberg updates that I thought would be highly relevant here. Check out my thread: http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/market-analysis/15950-bloomberg-updates.html#post176979 1. Initial Jobless Claims in the U.S. Rose Less Than Forecast Last Week to 336,000 2. Congress Clears Spending Plan for FY2013, Averting Shutdown 3. Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Index for March Rises to 2 From -12.5 4. Sales of Previously Owned Homes in U.S. Climb to 4.9M Annualized Rate, a Three-Year High The weekend ahead will be important as this week we see continuously escalating situation with Cyprus and it is possible that this weekend we will see some important changes. I think Monday will be the most important day for the next week trading and for now everything is possible. No one prediction could be sure!

Mario Draghi: The Impact On The Euro The euro has been on a bumpy ride the last few months, sort of like the Japanese Yen. A lot of the stuff that I am about to discuss here is extremely relevant to forex traders that focus on the major currency pairs like the EUR/USD and the EUR/JPY, even though it will be about one man and his impact on a currency. Euro Minimum Bid Rate Announcement Before we go any further, I want to point out why you should continue reading this article. There is a big event at 12:45PM GMT today (Thursday) and it concerns the Bid Rate decision. This will then be outshone by the European Central Bank (ECB) Press Conference that will take place 45 minutes later. Speculators will be hanging on to every remark that ECB President Mario Draghi makes as history has proved him to be a big mover and shaker of the financial markets. And especially the euro. Past Performance: A Guarantee of Future Results? Fundamental analysts should note that Draghi's comments are of high value and impact the markets greatly like they did in the first week of February 2013. Draghi spoke then at the ECB Press Conference with a warning note about the euro that was soaring at the time. The comments were enough to send the euro tumbling within minutes.

Cyprus Bail Out became the Center of Attention On Monday morning after much angst during the weekend, investors braced up for the proposed bail out of the banking system in a slightly lesser known and seldom talked about country called Cyprus. The banking sector in Cyprus lacks funds and needs a large amount of assistance. The current proposal is to tax depositors and this was a bad one at that as it resulted in a major run on the banks in the island nation. The tax, as it is so called, is targeted for savings and checking accounts and is a method for Cyprus to raise money from depositors overseas. The newest unfolding story in the Euro debt crisis The plan was amended and voted on this afternoon Cyprus time and it has managed to improve the Cypriot standing as a banking center. For instance, Japanese stock markets after initially taking a dive when the news came out have since rebounded. The same could be said for indices across the globe. So this too has come to pass. Now we will have to shift our focus from the island of Cyprus to the serious issues in Greece, Spain and Italy.

My analysis on large cap tech stocks that offer a good return on investment for a value investor continues. My analysis here is based on the profitability ratios in the financial statements of Cisco Systems, Inc. (CSCO) over the last 5 years. When a firm has strong profitability ratios, it portrays to an investor that it provides a good return on his or her investment. The profitability numbers that I came across for Cisco were very encouraging. Keep in mind, however, that this is just one of the many ways to analyze a stock. Cisco Systems is on a roll coming off a patent victory and many Wall Street analysts are upgrading the stock's price target. This article is further proof as to why CSCO is a great addition to your portfolio. A profitability analysis of a company involves looking at a class of financial metrics to determine a firm's capacity to generate profitable sales from the resources it has. Typically, higher ratio numbers translate to a higher investment value for the firm. Read the rest of this article here: Cisco Systems, Inc.: Profitability Analysis
