Its Tuesday May 9, 2006, and late yesterday Dell Computer (NASDAQ: DELL) announced that it would miss their own sales and profits targets due to Pricing Decisions. What that means is that the company is trying to compete with other PC makers and have to sell their products cheaper. The stock should take a nice tumble in todays trading session as it has already traded down over 5% in after hours trading. This is just the beginning of the slow down for Dell as competition stiffens in the coming quarters, with companies like Lenovo spinning out cheaper PCs at a rapid rate.

Political Front

Recently Irans President sent a letter to President Bush outlining a plan to resolve the tension but according to reports it doesnt provide a diplomatic solution, so the tension continues and crude oil goes on the rollercoaster ride once again.

It looks like Newscorps (NYSE: NWS) Rupert Murdoch will be putting together a little fundraiser for New York Senator Hillary Clinton as she is widely considered to be a contender for the democratic nod for the 2008 U.S. Presidential Election.

According to reports former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani has been making stops in certain cities across the country that would be great supporters of Giuliani if he chooses to run for the office of U.S. President in 2008. No official word has come out of the Giuliani camp but the duckies are possibly being lined up.

Al Gore has not made an official word either but he is taking full advantage of the speculation garnering as much media attention for his projects as he can, hes an opportunist and who could blame him.

Tid Bits

Disney (NYSE: DIS) will be announcing their earnings this morning and they may miss the mark but investors should look at any pullback as an opportunity because they just completed the deal with Pixar, and with the new vision that is coming out the team of Iger and Jobs, you can expect the company to post better than expected numbers for fiscal year 2006 and beyond. So its one to take a close look at.

Airbus just signed contracts that are valued in the vicinity of $1.4 billion to secure the titanium that they will need. This could be a push for Titanium as metals continue to rise.

Wachovia Corp (NYSE: WB) may have made history by making the biggest acquisition in the banking industry but was it a big mistake? The housing market is cooling which means less mortgages being originated, Golden West (NYSE: GDW) is a mortgage originator, so well see how this pans out as they try to go head to head with the likes of Citigroup (NYSE: C) and JP Morgan Chase (NYSE: JPM).

General Motors (NYSE: GM), turns a profit as the company is looking to rise from the ashes, we have been bullish on the stock in the $19 range. So expect for numerous upgrades from analyst in the coming days.
