Secret Projects At Google

By MoneyMorning.com.au

Lately, Google’s (Nasdaq: GOOG) Mountain View, CA-based headquarters have looked more like the clandestine lair of a Bond villain than a business centre.

The company has poured more than $120 million dollars into construction projects that are fit to house testing labs and top-secret initiatives with names like “Project X.”

One theory about what’s going on at the Googleplex involves the development of a driverless car.

And that may well be true – but the more immediate and practical use for the renovation would be to expand the base from which the company competes with rival Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL).

Google’s war with Apple continues to escalate as the two companies fight for ground in three major consumer markets: mobile devices, Internet search and digital media.

Google fired its first salvo at Apple with the introduction of its Android operating system, which has come to dominate the smartphone market.

Apple recently retaliated by introducing Siri – the voice-activated search engine that has been a major selling point for the latest iPhone.

Still, the biggest clash is set to take place in your living room.

Google and Apple are fighting to be the company that supplies your media at home, stores it for you in a cloud drive, and then distributes it to your wireless devices.

Google has even expressed interest in bringing other appliances into the fold, connecting things like lighting, heating, and air conditioning via the Android operating system – a seamless integration dubbed “Android@Home.”

The goal is to let you control every electronic device in your home through a smartphone or tablet.

This is a battle for what futurists call the “digital living room.”

And it’s just getting started. Here’s a sneak peak at what’s in store.

GOOG and the Digital Living Room

In addition to the Android, Google recently launched an online music store, a social media Website (a la Facebook), and a television platform called Google TV.

And this year, the company is set to launch two more game-changers – a cloud storage service called Google Drive, or G-Drive, and a yet-to-be-named home entertainment system capable of streaming music and other media to your living room.

G-Drive will have to compete with Apple’s iCloud and Amazon.com (Nasdaq: AMZN) storage service in the still-fledgling cloud computing market.

Some $830 million was spent on cloud services worldwide last year, and that figure is expected to grow by 47% to $1.2 billion this year, according to research firm Gartner (NYSE: IT). Gartner projects that the market for cloud-related services will reach $148 billion by 2014.

With its online store and cloud service, Google is in position both to sell and store music, video, and e-books. But to truly gain a foothold in the digital living room, the company must also control the electronic devices that enable consumers to enjoy these things.

Google has already partnered with companies like Samsung and Sony to incorporate its Android operating system into television sets. But now the company appears ready to cut out the middleman and create its own hardware.

People familiar with the matter told the Journal that Google is developing a home-entertainment system capable of streaming music from G-Drive. Down the road, the new device could also stream video.

These days, the market for home audio equipment isn’t very big. Tom Cullen, co-founder of Sonos – a company that makes such hardware – says the total global value of the market is about $8 billion.

Sonos’ annual sales last year totaled about $200 million, compared to $38 billion in revenue for Google. Of course, the market for streaming video figures to be much bigger.

Streaming video on demand is becoming increasingly popular since online video-rental company Netflix (Nasdaq: NFLX) began streaming unlimited content to subscribers in 2008.

Netflix now has 21.67 million streaming subscribers worldwide.

Still, this would be a huge shift in strategy for Google, as it would be the first time it’s ever attempted to build market hardware – something Netflix doesn’t do, either. Up until this point, Google has relied on other companies to build and brand hardware that uses the Android OS.

A New Direction for Google Inc.

Rolling out its own device would mean corralling hardware suppliers, manufacturers, and retailers. It might also put Google at odds with the electronics manufacturers that have made Android the world’s most widely used operating system in smartphones.

That’s a risk Google is willing to take to make Android your home’s operating system. It’s also a challenge for which the company is better equipped since paying for Motorola Mobility – the market leader in cable set-top boxes.

The recent renovations to Google HQ figure to be another asset. The San Jose Mercury News managed to dig up public records that shed some light on the company’s plans.

The highest-profile project that Google is working on is the “Google Experience Center” – a 120,000-square-foot private museum that will house the company’s most avant-garde innovations. The purpose of the centre will be to “to share visionary ideas, and explore new ways of working” with up to 900 guests, including prospective business partners and clients.

Additionally, new testing labs – some that screen out radio frequency and others with blacked-out windows – are being built to cater to other top-secret initiatives such as the aforementioned Project X.

So while Apple is dominating the headlines, Google is quietly plotting to steal them.

Monetary Policy Week in Review – 31 March 2012


The past week in monetary policy saw 5 banks announcing reductions to their official interest rates: Morocco -25bps to 3.00%, Belarus -200bps to 36.00%, Romania -25bps to 5.25%, Albania -25bps to 4.25%, and Kazakhstan -50bps to 6.50%.  The Bank of Zambia also announced its new benchmark interest rate would be set at 9.00%.  Those that held monetary policy settings unchanged were: Israel 2.50%, Turkey 5.75%, Hungary 7.00%, Georgia 6.50%, the Czech Republic 0.75%, South Africa 5.50%, and Uruguay 8.75%.


Looking at the central bank calendar, the week ahead sees the central banks of Uganda, Australia, Kenya, Poland, the EU, and UK meeting to review monetary policy settings.  The main market moving banks will be the RBA, ECB, and BoE, though none are likely to make any major moves.  Elsewhere the US Federal Reserve’s FOMC releases its March meeting minutes on Tuesday, and the Swiss National Bank puts out its annual report on Thursday.

Bank of Zambia Introduces New Policy Rate at 9.00%


The Bank of Zambia announced it would set its new monetary policy benchmark interest rate at 9.00%. The move marks a transition in the Bank’s monetary policy, from money supply targeting to an interest rate target system.  The overnight lending facility rate is due to be set at 250 basis points higher than the policy rate.  The new interest rate level represents significant tightening, and compares to previous interest rate levels of around 6 percent.  The Bank of Zambia’s adoption of a monetary policy benchmark interest rate follows similar moves by Uganda and Angola last year.

Banco Central del Uruguay Holds Interest Rate at 8.75%


The Banco Central del Uruguay held its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 8.75%.  The Bank said [translated]: “In the Monetary Policy Committee, the Central Bank of Uruguay noted that the inflation rate has begun to sag, but still holds, as well as agents’ expectations, well above the target range. Therefore, in order to provide a fee structure that preserves the contractionary bias of monetary policy, the Central Bank of Uruguay understood best not to change the monetary policy rate, which remains at 8.75%.”

Previously the Bank increased the interest rate by 75 basis points in December, and 50 basis points in June, and raised reserve requirements for banks on peso deposits by 300 basis points to 15% and 300 basis points on foreign currency deposits to 18% during its May meeting.  The Bank also increased its interest rate by 100 basis points to 7.50% at its March meeting.  Uruguay reported inflation of 8.4% in November, compared to figures earlier in the year of 8.53% in May, up from 8.34% in April, and still above the Bank’s 4%-6% inflation target range (as set by the Macroeconomic Coordination Committee).


The Uruguayan peso (UYU) is more or less flat against the US dollar, with the USDUYU exchange rate last trading around 19.50; having traded as low as 18.30 around the middle of last year. The Central Bank of Uruguay next meets in June this year.

South African Reserve Bank Holds Policy Rate at 5.50%


The South African Reserve Bank [SARB] kept its monetary policy interest rate, the repo rate, on hold at 5.50%.  The Bank said: “Domestic economic growth is expected to remain below potential. In light of this and the expected medium-term inflation trajectory, the Committee is of the view that at this stage the current stance of monetary policy is appropriate to support the real economy while at the same time maintaining its commitment to achieve the inflation target over the medium term. The Monetary Policy Committee has therefore decided to keep the repurchase rate unchanged at 5,5 per cent per annum.”

Previously the SARB also held the repo rate unchanged at its January meeting this year, the Bank last cut the repo rate by 50bps to 5.50% in November 2010.  South Africa reported annual inflation of 6.1% in December, compared to 5.7% in September, 5.3% in August and July, 5% in June, 4.6% in May, and 4.2% in April this year, compared to its official inflation target range of 3-6%. 


South Africa’s economy grew 1.3% in the June quarter, and 1.4% in the September quarter of 2011.  Meanwhile the South African Rand (ZAR) has weakened by about 10% against the US dollar over the past year, with the USDZAR 
exchange rate last trading around 7.66

Ceska Narodni Banka Holds Repo Rate at 0.75%


The Ceska Narodni Banka held the two-week repurchase rate at 0.75% as expected, and kept the discount rate unchanged at 0.25% and Lombard rate at 1.75%.  The Bank said: “As regards the reasons for the decision, they are quite obvious. According to the forecast, monetary-policy relevant inflation will be close to the inflation target. Headline inflation is currently rising above 3%, but it should fall later on. Monetary-policy relevant inflation, of course, remains near the target for the whole period up to the horizon we influence.”

The Czech central bank also kept the repurchase rate unchanged at its February meeting this year; its last change was a 25 basis point cut in May 2010.  The Czech Republic reported annual inflation of 3.7% in January this year, up from 1.8% in September, compared to 1.7% in August and July, 1.8% in June, 2% in May, 1.6% in April, and 1.7% in March this year, and within the Bank’s official inflation target of 2%.  


The Czech economy contracted -0.1% in Q3, and grew 0.1% in Q2 (0.9% in Q1) last year, placing annual GDP growth at 1.2% in Q3, 2.2% in Q2 (2.8% in Q1).  The Czech Republic’s currency, the Koruna (CZK) has weakened about 8% against the US dollar over the past year, and the USDCZK exchange rate last traded around 18.57

How You Can Profit from an Unexpected End to the Energy Crisis

By MoneyMorning.com.au

For years, the United States has feared an energy crisis.

That one day the U.S. would have to import nearly all its oil and gas from overseas.

If there was a disruption to the supply lines, it would lead to rising fuel prices and severe shortages. That would mean higher costs for businesses. And higher prices for consumers.

All of which could push the world’s biggest economy into recession. And cause mass civil unrest.

It would be the 1970s “oil shock” all over again. But this time… it would be much worse…

Energy Crisis Over?


But, despite those fears, the U.S. energy crisis never really happened.

Why?

Well, it may seem counter-intuitive, but it’s thanks to $100 oil.

That’s not something you’ll read anywhere in the mainstream press. But it’s true.

When oil prices were low, it was too expensive for explorers and producers to reach hard-to-get oil reserves. And the harder it is to get, the tighter the supply. And the more the West had to rely on the Middle East.

That was just fine for the Middle East oil cartel. It had plenty of easy-to-get oil.

And when oil prices soared from 2001 onwards, it seemed as though it would provide riches to the Middle East, while dooming the West (especially America) to economic depression.

In fact, some have argued the crash in 2008 was partly due to high energy costs. That may be true.

But sometimes it’s hard to look past the short term and focus on the long term. Short term, a high oil price was great for Saudi Arabia, Iran and the rest of OPEC. But it wasn’t great for the U.S. and the West.

But in the long term, the opposite will be true.

In fact, we believe the high oil price of the past 10 years has actually secured America’s energy future. And soon, it could do the same for the rest of the Western world too…

The Energy Future for Investors

You see, while high oil prices have caused short-term pain, long term it means hard-to-get energy reserves became viable.

This is where entrepreneurial and risk-hungry energy companies have started to exploit the high oil price.

In the U.S., this has mostly happened with the exploration of shale oil and shale gas reserves. 20 or 30 years ago, these resources were too expensive to consider.

That’s changed. To the extent that according to global energy giant, BP, the U.S. is set to be energy self-sufficient by 2030. And soon after it will become a net energy exporter.

That’s an amazing shift from where the U.S. was just a few years ago.

And so now, the race is on to sideline Middle Eastern influence in energy markets.

You see, while a high oil price is good news for big producers in the Middle East, it’s also bad news. Simply because a high oil price makes other projects viable.

And that means more price and supply competition. It explains why Saudi Arabian oil minister, Ali al-Naimi is so keen to make sure the market still knows who’s in charge.

As Bloomberg News reports:

“Saudi Arabia said it could potentially raise output capacity to 15 million barrels a day, from 12.5 million barrels a day, using new oil fields if needed.”

That’s all talk.

Saudi Arabia doesn’t really want to knock down the oil price. It just wants to make investors, explorers and producers think it can knock down the price.

Because while lower oil prices are actually better for the Middle East in the long term (because it makes competing oil fields less viable), in the short term, Middle East dictators like high oil prices because they can buy more trinkets (football teams, London and New York property, and so on).

And because they’re afraid of what could happen if prices fall and they can no longer afford the handouts they’ve promised their oppressed citizens.

Under-Explored East Africa


The effect is that explorers are pushing the boundaries of the exploration frontier. For years, when oil was just USD$20 per barrel, certain areas of the world were no-go zones. They were politically unstable…geologically inaccessible… or just plain not worth the risk.

But with oil at USD$100 per barrel, the reward has started to offset the risk. Of course, it’s still risky. Very risky.

But the risk is now worth taking. Norwegian oil company, Statoil is exploring in an almost untouched area – the east coast of Africa. To highlight just how risky it is, Statoil has hired armed security guards to patrol its offshore assets to protect them from pirate attack!

But even machine-gun toting pirates can’t keep the explorers away.

And why would they? The east African coastline is almost completely unexplored when it comes to oil and gas.

That’s highlighted by these amazing numbers from U.K-based explorer and producer, Afren plc…

low relative drilling coverage


Source: Afren plc

For every 70 wells drilled in North, West and Central Africa, only one well has been drilled in East Africa.

Oil company, Africa Oil, makes a similar comparison. This time comparing the triangle of Kenya, Somalia and Ethiopia with the North Sea and the Suez Basin:


Source: Africa Oil Corp

Fewer than 200 wells drilled, compared to 7,706 for the North Sea and Suez Basin. That’s just 2.5% the number of the wells drilled, in an area 10-times larger!

Despite the risks (including from pirates), exploring this untouched frontier is already starting to pay off. As the Financial Times recently reported:

“Statoil set the oil industry abuzz late last month when it announced it had found large volumes of natural gas off the coast of Tanzania, confirming east Africa’s reputation as one of the energy world’s most promising new frontiers.”


The Biggest Energy Shake-Up in 20 Years


The idea of frontier energy plays (whether it’s a geographical or technological frontier) is something we’ve focused on in Australian Small-Cap Investigator.

The idea that explorers and producers are doing things and going places that could shake up the entire world energy market.

This is attractive, because as a speculative investor, you want to be at the turning point of change. Because if you can identify a change in direction early – or as it happens – that’s where you can potentially make your biggest returns.

And as we see it, one of the biggest changes in direction is happening in energy markets right now. If you’re quick, there’s still time to get involved.

How?

We’re preparing a special report on the subject. So look out for it over the next couple of weeks.

Cheers.

Kris.

Investing in Frontier Markets


Investing in Frontier Markets

The Guggenheim Frontier Markets ETF (NYSE: FRN) provides an easy and diversified way to capture growth in frontier markets.

Of the 26 countries I’ve visited, one memory in particular stands out in my mind.

I was in China. Not in Shanghai or Beijing, mind you, but far out west in a rural area where I was called “foreigner” as if it were my name.

One day, at the junction of two dirt roads, I saw the usual activity you found all over the Middle Kingdom during the first decade of the twenty-first century. Saws whizzed and hammers banged as laborers walked around a work site on bamboo scaffolding.

But these guys weren’t putting up fancy skyscrapers or even repairing an old house.

They were building the town’s first street corner – just a couple of two-story buildings – and I was witnessing the beginning of a city.

Strangely, the scene was somehow familiar…

My mind immediately flashed to countless western movies I grew up watching. I’m sure you’ve seen them, too.

But this wasn’t “Tombstone” and this wasn’t the Old West. This was a different type of frontier.

I Went Down to the Crossroads…

I know about junctions. My hometown of Kansas City gained importance because it sits where the Kansas and Missouri rivers meet. This new street corner I saw in China was also at a crossroads, and the locals knew that meant a promising future…

As long as they seized the opportunity, that is.

Are you ready to tap into frontier markets? Like the scene I saw, dozens of economies around the world find themselves where two roads meet – it’s the junction of the road to prosperity and the road to stability.

The road to prosperity is paved by entrepreneurs and visionary leaders. They’re folks who have ambition, but aren’t so selfish that they’ll hurt their country’s cause to preserve their own power.

To get on the road to stability, you need leaders with the maturity to lose an election and keep working hard to build the future. You also need the confidence of citizens to not riot in the streets every time bread prices change.

The Guggenheim Frontier Markets ETF (NYSE: FRN) does a nice job of picking countries and companies that allow you to benefit from those key trends.

In the fund we find:

  • Kazakhstan – represented by KazMunaiGas, the national natural gas company, and Halyk, a commercial savings bank. Right there we have plays on the central Asian country’s rich resources and its improving business climate.
  • Chile – FRN holds shares of Banco Santander Chile (NYSE: SAN), and for an interesting twist, the fund also threw in Vina Concha y Toro (NYSE: VCO), a quiet wine industry giant whose headquarters I’ve visited… after taking a bus through some of the capital city’s seediest suburbs. Chile’s ecological diversity and copper production make it a tourist and business magnet, and key driver of future Latin American growth.
  • Colombia – This country used to be synonymous with drugs and violence, but now two of its top companies trade on the New York Stock Exchange. National oil company Ecopetrol (NYSE: EC) and bank Bancolombia (NYSE: CIB) make this nation in transition FRN’s heaviest investment. Colombia totals around 15% of the ETF’s total value.
  • Egypt – Well, if you’ve been watching the news, you know Egypt is still dizzy from the wild Arab Spring of 2011. Nevertheless, this country is one of the most promising in the bunch. In fact, part of the reason for Egypt’s turmoil has been its large, young workforce, eager to make an impact and transform the nation. FRN profits from the young, online, energized next generation of Egyptians with investments in Orascom Telecom.

Orascom isn’t just a market force in the Arab world… The company has holdings in Bangladesh, Pakistan, Algeria and Zimbabwe.

Are those far enough off the beaten path for you?

To be frank, there are some countries on this list that I haven’t even thought of visiting! Good news is, I don’t have to go there to get in on the action, and neither do you.

The Frontier Markets ETF gives you a way to plant yourself at the crossroads in these places and reap the rewards of getting there before the crowd.

You may not hammer a nail into the first couple of buildings in town, but with FRN in your portfolio, you can be a pioneer in your own right.

Good Investing,

Europe Sets Firewall Kitty at 500 Billion


By TraderVox.com

Tradervox (Dublin) – European Finance Ministers have capped the firewall kitty at 500 billion Euros after Germany led a coalition to oppose a further expansion of the region’s firewall power.  This comes as a shock to traders who were expecting a consensus in building a larger firewall kitty. However, the 500 billion lending capacity excludes the 300 billion Euros already given to Ireland, Greece, and Portugal.

Therefore the overall size up to 2013 will be 800 billion Euros but after that the kitty will be at 500 billion Euros. The Finance Ministers did not approve the use of the remaining 240 billion Euros in the EFSF but they indicated that the money would be used to add to the ESM kitty to its full amount of 500 billion dollars.

Austrian Finance Minister Maria Fekter was the first to talk to the press at the meeting indicating that the European leaders have now acted as expected by the IMF and as agreed at the G-20 meeting. Maria Fekter was also quick to add that the sum fixed is important and now the EU is expecting the pledges from the IMF to follow. Euro zone is counting on the pledged amount and the 1 trillion Euros injected by the ECB as a stimulus package.

This new development will affect the bullish trend of the euro as it was expected that the European leaders would endorse an expansion of the kitty to 940 billion Euros. Dutch Finance Minister Jan Kees de Jager indicated that incase the 500 billion in fresh capital is not available the region guarantees the availability of the 240 billion Euros in the EFSF. In reality, this is the only amount that is available excluding the 308 billion Euros that have already been committed to Portugal, Ireland and Greece.

The Chairman of the Finance Ministers meeting canceled his press briefing after the Austrian Finance minster talked to the press before him. Traders are looking forward to a formal statement from the Chairman of the Finance Ministers Jean-Claude Juncker.

Invest in Graphene with GrafTech International (NYSE: GTI)


Invest in Graphene with GrafTech International (NYSE: GTI)

Source: ScienceNews

What you’re about to discover could revolutionize everything from electronics and aerospace to transportation and energy.

It’s the thinnest, strongest material on earth. And in 2010, it won Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov, two scientists from the University of Manchester in England, the Nobel Prize in Physics.

This potentially game-changing material is none other than graphene.

The Highlights

In its most basic form, graphene is simply a single layer of graphite. It’s as thin as one atom.

Yet amazingly, The New York Times says, “…a sheet of it stretched over a cup of coffee could support the weight of a truck bearing down on a pencil.”

That’s not all that graphene has to offer, either…

  • Graphene is also the world’s first two-dimensional material.
  • It’s the lightest material in existence.
  • It has the best thermal conductivity of any material, which could lead it to replace copper in computer chips.
  • Graphene is the most impermeable material ever discovered.
  • It’s a very efficient electrical conductor that could also replace most uses of silicon in addition to copper.
  • It carries the highest intrinsic mobility of any other material on earth, which is set to pave the way for faster, more efficient transistors and other various electronic components and devices.
  • It’s transparent and completely bendable, potentially creating a brand new slew of tablets, smartphones, computers, printers, chips and much more.

If you’d like to learn even more about graphene, I found the video below well worth the watch.

Despite its promising characteristics though, there are certainly challenges.

The Roadblocks

One issue is that China currently supplies 80% of the world’s graphite supply. This could lead to price fixing on graphite and graphene in the future.

Another issue, and currently the biggest, is figuring out a way to move graphene from the research lab to the marketplace. That’s because no company has figured out a way to really manufacture it on a major scale yet. It’ll definitely be a few years before we can tell how marketable graphene is.

But a handful of companies are preparing to industrialize it. Some of them even trade right on the NYSE. And early-in investors could be in for the ride of a lifetime if graphene becomes the next big thing.

In fact, investment banking firm Jefferies Group (NYSE: JEF) even says one firm in particular is worth checking out at current levels: GrafTech International Ltd. (NYSE: GTI).

A Buying Opportunity?

Based out of Ohio, GrafTech is a company with 125 years of experience in the carbon and graphite industries.

In the late 1800s, it actually supplied arc carbons to Cleveland, Ohio, enabling the city to become the first in the world with electric street lamps.

Today, GrafTech’s products are used in a variety of industries including steel, energy, technology, chemicals, aerospace and transportation.

The company has 19 manufacturing facilities strategically located in over 70 countries spanning four continents. Jefferies expects the stock to pop 50% from current prices of $11.85.

But with the emergence of a potentially disruptive material such as graphene, this could be just the beginning of a massive run higher.

That’s because GrafTech is also the twelfth-largest patent holder for applications in the field of graphene. It currently holds even more patents for graphene applications than big name companies like General Electric (NYSE: GE), Bayer AG (ETR: BAYN) (FRA: BAYN) and Canon (NYSE: CAJ).

In 2011, sales hit a record high of $1.3 billion. The company is also in its eighth straight year of positive cash flow. And the future looks very bright.

It expects double-digit growth in the next three to five years in a number of key markets including…

  • Electronics… 30%
  • Aviation and transportation… 15%
  • Lubricants, coatings and additives… 10%
  • Lighting… 30%
  • High-temp furnaces… 20%
  • Energy storage… 20%

You can bet graphene is going to play more and more of a role in these markets, too. Those who produce graphite and graphene, like GrafTech, will see demand increase for their products as more and more people discover the extraordinary potential of graphene.

Good Investing,

Mike Kapsch
