| Fellow Investor,
Fellow Investor, For the first time in over two weeks, the U.S. economy is back in focus. First we got 2Q earnings reports from Dell (Nasdaq:DELL) and Target (NYSE:TGT). Dell missed revenues slightly and offered a weak revenue forecast.
There was a time when Dell was an important measure of consumer and corporate spending. (It's sales mix is roughly 75% consumer and corporate, 25% government.)
And while the company did say the economic environment was challenging, Dell has also missed important trends, like data storage and tablets.
We have to think some of the weakness in Dell's numbers are a direct result of Apple's (Nasdaq:AAPL) success.
One analyst noted that 45% of Dell's business is vulnerable to Apple. And Apple is even showing success in getting small and medium businesses to buy its Mac computers.
There was a debate between chip-maker Intel (Nasdaq:INTC) and research firm IDC about PC shipments this year. IDC has forecast weak sales, Intel has said PC sales, and hence chip sales, would be solid.
IDC notes that in the second quarter, PC shipments were up 2.6%. That's even less than the 2.9% growth IDC had expected.
I think Intel might be wrong. Keep an eye on the stock. It was down 1% early on but appears to be recovering.
As further testament to Apple's success, Mac sales were up 15% in the quarter. It now has 10.7% market share.
Why am I talking so much about computer sales?... [continue reading at WyattResearch.com] |

| The I.R.S. Will Hate This, But it's Perfectly Legal
 U.S. Treasury TIPS are virtually a scam. They're supposed to be indexed to inflation, but considering that the government's "official" inflation numbers don't include energy and food, they're always woefully too low. And since TIPS adjust with official inflation and not real inflation, investors fall behind more and more every year.
The world's wealthiest investors have known this for years and use their own "Privatized TIPS". They've enjoyed a steady stream of income from their own Privatized TIPS program.
This has been their secret...until now.
A new guide shows you exactly how to set up your own Privatized TIPS program, no matter how much money you have to start with.
