I had a good day today. I own INFA, TIBX, LWSN and MSFT. My portfolio is overweight tech, but thats what I understand and like to follow. I think tech stocks, mainly software, was oversold the last quarter. I think the sector might come back into favor. There were lots of tech companies that recently came out with pretty good earning reports.

Expect hardware to be back in favor if Vista is ever released.

Stock Futures Drop; Apple Looks Up
Monday July 31, 7:16 am ET
Stock Futures Drop; European Markets Retreat From 10-Week Highs

LONDON (AP) -- U.S. stock market futures declined on Monday as traders took some of last week's gains off the table, though Apple Computer Inc. saw the benefit of a broker upgrade in early trading.
Dow Jones futures were recently down 22 points, S&P 500 futures fell 3.5 points, and Nasdaq futures fell 4.2 points.

On Friday, the Dow industrials rallied 119 points, the S&P 500 rose 15 points and the Nasdaq Composite rose 39 points after a weaker-than-forecast reading of second-quarter gross domestic product led to speculation the Federal Reserve will soon step on the rate-hike brakes.

Crude-oil futures weakened modestly on Friday, down 29 cents to $72.95 a barrel. The dollar drifted lower against the Japanese yen and was mostly steady against the euro.

Chicago PMI, seen falling to 55.7 percent from 58.5 percent, is the top data release of the day.

Of companies in focus, Apple Computer rose nearly 2 percent in Frankfurt after Banc of America Securities upgraded it to buy from neutral and raised its price target to $79 from $68, citing strong demand for MacBooks and iPod digital music players. The broker told clients that depending on whether Apple can generate enough additional unit sales in the second half, it sees upside potential to earnings from iPods of 8 cents to 12 cents a share.

SanDisk over the weekend agreed to swap $1.3 billion of its own stock for M-Systems Ltd, another flash memory chip making firm that's been battling stock-option accounting problems.

Coach may see gains after a Barron's article suggested it will lift its earnings outlook on Tuesday. Its chief executive told the magazine that it will deliver a "fantastic" quarter.

Health-benefits provider Humana reported a stronger-than-forecast 10 percent profit rise and held to its 2006 outlook. But it also said that marketing costs could be up to 15 cents-a-share higher than forecast.

Scottish Re may be in for some pressure after it warned of a $130 million operating loss in the second quarter, that third- and fourth-quarter earnings wouldn't meet its earlier forecast and that it suspended its dividend. Its CEO, Scott E. Willkomm, resigned in response.

Teck Cominco lifted its bid for Inco to C$82.50 a share, as the Canadian miner battles Phelps Dodge to buy Inco.

HSBC Holdings, the world's third-largest bank, reported a 15 percent profit rise on investment banking gains.

European stock markets edged off recent 10-week highs, while the Nikkei 225 advanced in Tokyo on earnings hopes.

Euro Tech Holdings Company Limited Reports Letter of Intent Signed for Acquisition of 20% Equity Interest in Zhejiang Jia Huan Electronic Co. Ltd. in China
Monday July 31, 2:30 am ET

HONG KONG, July 31 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Euro Tech Holdings Company Limited (Nasdaq: CLWT - News) today announced that it had recently entered into a letter of intent to acquire a 20% equity interest in Zhejiang Jia Huan Electronic Co. Ltd. ("Jia"), a long established company in environmental protection business based in Jin Hua, Zhejiang, China, for approximately US$2.5 million at a P/E ratio of 8 to 10, subject to final negotiation.
ADVERTISEMENT

Jia, which recently has moved into its new and modern manufacturing facilities of about 35,000 square meters, has been in business since 1969. 95% of Jia's business is related to air pollution control and less than 5% is for water and wastewater treatment. Jia designs and manufactures automatic control system and electric voltage control equipment for the electrostatic precipitator which is a major air purification equipment for power plants, cement plants and incinerators to remove and collect dust and pollutants from the exhaust stacks.

Euro Tech believes that by securing an equity in Jia's business, Euro Tech has a platform to work on to diversify into Air Pollution Control business in China. As the economy of China is growing rapidly, more power plants are being built to match with the growth. There will be a steady and strong demand of air pollution control equipment for the new power plants and upgrading of the old power plants. Moreover, through Jia's business connection, Euro Tech believes that it can cooperate with Jia to supply more water and wastewater treatment equipment and systems to the power plant industry in China.

The acquisition of an equity stake in Jia is financed by internal resource and is subject to the negotiation of a definitive agreement, Euro Tech's due diligence investigation of Jia, its finances, operations, certain legal requirements, and local government approval, all to be accomplished in November, 2006.
