Top 10 Stock Issues Review of This Week (July 6, 2007)

Stock Tickers: CME, BOT, DFS, RIMM, AAPL, AA, RTP, AL, AMD, MOT, ALU, MPEL, GM, TM, BIDU, INTC, DELL, MSFT

If the CME (CME) and CBOT (BOT) doesn’t get approved next week, then what will it take?

What price do investors like the Discover Card (DFS) owner at?

The whole darn world in the palm of your hand: Is a cheaper iPhone already on the way? Research-in-Motion (RIMM), finally headed to China…..

Alcoa (AA), Rio Tinto (RTP), Alcan (AL)…..who is buying whom?

Cramer makes a new list of 3 CEO’s to go (AMD, MOT, ALU).

Did Melco PBL Ent. (MPEL) really find a bottom?

Detroit is shivering…..When GM (GM) loses to Toyota (TM) on trucks, what’s in its future?  Maybe they should head to China like Chrysler.

Baidu.com (BIDU) is entering a time warp back to 1999/2000 Web 1.0 valuations.  Calling a stock too high just because of valuations can be painful sometimes, but when these parachutes catch fire there is no reserve chute.

PC’s aint dead! Here’s the evidence: Intel (INTC) hits another 52-week high, and a high close on Friday.  Dell (DELL) even hit a new 52-week high Friday, although the shares didn’t hold it.  Microsoft (MSFT) Vista sales are about to be smoking hot, or so some think; if they weren’t, the Xbox 360 $1 Billion PLUS charge would have hurt the stock more than the whole $0.02 it lost the day after that announcement.
