Google Purchase of Motorola Mobility

Google Purchase of

Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) announced yesterday it offered Motorola Mobility Holdings (NYSE:MMI) 12.5 billion dollars in a buyout offer.  This is good for $40 a share and the offer was accepted by the board.  It was a 60% premium over the current trading price.  The Android Platform appears to have solid footing even more so now.  What does this mean for the cell phone space?  Does this move have media and other technological competitive implications?  Where does this lead us in 2 years?  5 years?  Will Sirius XM Radio (NASDAQ:SIRI) be affected by this in any way?  What about Research In Motion (NASDAQ:RIMM) and HTC?  Should Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) worry?  Is this a showdown between Google and Apple?  Who wins?

Join KOAT Blog Talk Radio, tonight at 9 PM Eastern Time as we attempt to answer these and other questions in the media and technology spaces.  Callers welcome for questions or comments as the investor community works together to answer these questions and more.   Here is the link for tonight’s show.

Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Nokia (NYSE:NOK): A Fit or a Disaster?

In the past week, Nokia lowered its forecast and expectations for the coming quarters as well as full year.  Since then, the stock has been steadily spiraling downward aggressively and losing even more value. Nokia put out guidance that sales at its devices and services division in the second quarter would fall below its forecast range of $8.9 billion because it is selling fewer handsets at lower prices than previous expectations.  Analysts feel the miss could be by as much of a margin as 20%. The company totally discarded its guidance for the rest of the year. Nokia’s ADR shares, which closed Friday at $6.66, have shed 35% in value since the start of 2011 and are trading around their 13 year low, giving it a market capitalization of about $ 24 billion. The balance sheet for Nokia is in pretty good shape; however the company could quickly burn through cash during its current transitionary period.

Sirius XM (NASDAQ:SIRI) Quietly Mounting Improving Internet Radio Campaign

By

As Sirius XM reached a new post economic collapse high over the course of Thursday April 21st trading activity, closing at $ 1.93 a share, I was searching for a reason for the recent upward momentum. Upon doing so I was surprised to find that ZUNE marketplace, the counter from Microsoft(NASDAQ:MSFT) to Apple’s (NASDAQ: AAPL) App store, has an application which was released on April 1st and updated on April 14th, that allows Windows 7 phone users who subscribe to premium Sirius XM internet to listen to their Sirius XM internet service thru their Windows 7 phone. The application has terrific graphics that are very similar to the XMp3 display graphics.  The application has over 100 Sirius XM stations available to listen to on your phone. It also allows you to tag your favorite stations and create a short list just like the online player. There is a trial version of the application and then a full version which costs .99 cents.

After listening to the trial version, I immediately purchased the full version because it sounded that good. I can now listen to my XM satellite radio service in my car, on my XMP3, on my laptop or desktop and on my Windows 7 phone, which I always have on me as most people do. The sound was exceptionally better than I had expected compared to the sound quality I had with my previous Blackberry phone and the Blackberry app for Sirius XM.  It seems quite obvious that Sirius XM is mounting a big push and adding both value and ease of operation with their internet version of the service and applications like this to make your Sirius or XM internet radio easily portable without the need for proprietary equipment, though the internet service does not have as many channels as the satellite service, it still provides over 100 channels of diverse music, talk, comedy, entertainment and sports related content. This Windows 7 application is more than worth the .99 cents it costs and I suggest folks check it out.

Disclosure: Long Siri and no position in AAPL or MSFT

Relmor’s Pick of the Week: Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)

By

Apple Inc. stock has broken resistance at the $258 price and is looking to make an upward move this week.  Bringing up our chart of Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) it appears a new up wave is forming.  Looking at the posted chart you will see Apple has been making new lows on their declines.  Notice the price points for the following dates: 5/7 the low was $225;  5/21 the low was $231; 6/10 the low was $242; 7/2 the low was $243.  If you notice the same chart you will see I am running a trendline right now that is holding support at around $249 area.  

Aggressive traders can find this trendline a nice buy, or an aggressive sell, depending on where you bought, your risk tolerances, and your expected direction.  As a short term trade, you will want to hold over the fibanocci retrace support of $258 level, mentioned above.  Medium term traders will want to hold over that trendline, knowing that breaks do occur.  So to be safe, were going to set up our stop losses right at that $242 support area for medium or even long term traders.  These will be your two support areas to watch.  If that support breaks, I would step aside for now.  Take a step back and reevaluate the chart at a latter date.  For resistance were looking at a nice sell target possible of $275.  Possible this leg will test the $280 level.  No time targets for these prices right now.

Fibanocci retrace resistance at $258 has broken, opening up the possibility of another test to $280 price.  Should be a good week for Apple if the main markets stay flat or advance.  This information is of course news neutral.
