SKYWORKS SOLUTIONS, INC. Research
Report
Some are wondering if Skyworks Solutions will turn out fine this
year, after Apple reported a flat profit in its quarterly report.
Skyworks' shares tend to follow Apple's movements, since Skyworks
manufactures chips for Apple. 29% of Skyworks' sales go to Apple
products, while Samsung accounts for 17%. However, fortunately, the
company's strategic diversification across OEMs and chipset
partners may allow the company to deliver consistently, despite
Apple's results. Given that companies like Skyworks can rise up or
down depending on the demand for their products and how well their
clients perform, it is hard to find enough stability to invest in
them. There is no sure way to keep your money safe when investing
in companies like these, but as these companies continue to
diversify, they provide greater stability and assurance that they
will remain strong in the coming years. When it comes to the
high-risk tech wars, looking for absolute stability may be tough,
but with positive outlooks for the future, companies like Skyworks
may be the ones that can constantly deliver. The Full Research

CREE, INC. Research Report
The semiconductor industry may be seen as a growth venue, with
better-than-average expansion characteristics, thanks to intense
competition and product innovation fueled by aggressive R&D,
paving the way for increased profitability. All electronics need
semiconductors. With increase in demand for electronics and
requirements in new application areas, the industry is expected to
sustain high growth momentum. After reporting that the Q2 results
for FY 2013 were above analysts' estimates and forecasting an
optimistic outlook for its Q3 profit, the shares of Cree, market
leader in LED lighting, increases 22.05 percent and made a new high
of $41.20. For Q3, which runs through
March 31, the company forecasted
adjusted earnings of 30 cents to 35
cents per share on revenue of $325
million to $345 million. This exceeds the expectations of
analysts of only 28 cents per share
on $323 million in revenue. Cree is
featured on most analysts' stocks to watch for the long term.
According to CEO Chuck Swoboda, "we
see opportunities to move the market even faster than what has been
experienced to date," noting the continuously improving sales in
both the LED components and lighting fixture divisions of the
company. LED lights are going mainstream, as they last longer than
fluorescent lights. LED lights are also less energy consuming.
Demand for this product is seen to increase rapidly and to
eventually make fluorescent lights become obsolete. The LED
lighting penetration rate is expected to reach 25 percent in 2013,
and by 2020, the global LED lighting market is projected to grow by
32 percent. For semiconductor companies, both the technology and
the market drive each other. The willingness of investors to wager
the ups and downs of the business cycle may find semiconductor
stocks an interesting investment. The Full Research Report on Cree,

MELLANOX TECHNOLOGIES, LTD. Research
Report
Mellanox, provider of Ethernet and InfiniBand host bus adapters.
The Q4 earnings of Mellanox surged as the semiconductor company
recorded a double-digit increase in revenue. Compared to Q3, its
revenue grew significantly, as well as the GAAP earnings per share.
Looking forward, the next quarter's average estimate for revenue is
$131.2 million and the average EPS
estimate is 75 cents. Analysts
upgraded the company's stock from a neutral rating to a buy rating,
resulting to an increase of 3.56 percent to $52.31. The semiconductor industry is highly
cyclical. This cyclicality can be seen as a degree of comfort for
investors - they can be sure that the semiconductor market will
turn at some point in the future. Demand for semiconductor devices
will not go away anytime soon. As a commodity business, its end
markets are so numerous, from computers to cars and everything in
between. 2013 analyst forecasts for this industry range from 4.2
percent on the low side to 16.6 percent on the high side. The Full

FORD MOTOR COMPANY Research Report
Online automotive information provider Edmunds.com expects a 15
percent rise in US car sales this month compared to the same period
last year, with an estimated 1.05 million new cars to be sold. Ford
responded to tough sales numbers by selling loss-making and
non-core operations, temporarily suspending dividend payouts, and
strived to improve its balance sheet. Ford, doubled its quarterly
dividend to $0.10 from $0.05, resulting in almost a 3 percent dividend
yield. In addition, the company streamlined operations by selling
of non-core businesses and brands, known as the One Ford strategy.
Every single person on Ford's payroll around the world is now just
squarely focused on supporting the core Ford brand. Ford's generous
quarterly dividend will still encourage more buyers and keep the
stock price up. The Full Research Ford Motor Company - including

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY Research
Report
Today, GM is showing tremendous upside compared to four years
ago, and is set to buy back 200 million shares from the US Treasury
and continue buying the remaining 300 million shares. This is also
because the company is frustrated by how the government controls
the GM, like salary caps that prevent new hires from the market,
and company executives want to change the bureaucratic nature. GM
is experiencing dismal sales in Europe amid the ongoing Eurozone crisis, with
a plan to close down a factory in Germany two years ahead of schedule in 2014.
GM subsidiary Opel posted losses between $1.5 billion and $1.8 billion as the country is
on the verge of slipping into a recession. Nevertheless, General
Motors is still considered a good investment. GM expects better
sales numbers in China and the US
to make up for its poor European figures. The Full Research Report
on General Motors Company - including full detailed breakdown,
analyst ratings and price targets - is available to download free
