据市场调研公司Gartner称，与整体网络的600亿美元的市场相比，手机广告市场还很小，去年大概只有
20亿美元。如何改进手机广告至为重要。那些密切关注移动应用并能与应用开发商(那些编写了偶尔打发
时间用的移动程序，如名片读取器和钓鱼游戏的自由软件编程者)分享财富的公司，将成为赢家。谁能为
应用程序和手机设备提供一个最好的生态系统，谁才能遥遥领先。“能设计出用多种方式赚钱的移动平台
的公司才会最终获胜。”一家开发移动应用程序的音乐下载服务公司M OG首席执行官海曼说。
苹果公司就具有建立这个生态系统的领先优势。据市场研究公司IDC估计，苹果的开发人员已为苹果
的装置创造了超过12.5万个移动设备，这是A ndroid数量的7倍多，其应用的多样性已经帮助iPhone迅速
拿到手机份额的14%，而所有A ndroid设备加在一起的份额只有3.5%。但过去的几个月，越来越多的应用
开发商抱怨说，他们不挣钱，免费软件太普遍了，大多售价都还不足99美分。有些发展商通过在他们的
应用程序中嵌入广告来挣钱，但获利甚微，因为广告往往较小，它们的网络窗口一点也不引人注目。
据熟悉乔布斯想法的人士透露，乔布斯已认识到“移动广告很讨厌”，特别当手机广告冒犯到乔布斯
的唯美个性时，乔布斯和助手讨论如何以其革新音乐播放器和电话那样的方式，来调整移动广告。据透
露，目前有几种可能的方案：苹果可能采用它的用户数据和地理定位技术使广告更具有针对性，以便用
户在午餐期间通过浏览移动网页就能接收到附近某餐厅的特价广告。它还可以创新性地利用iPhone的功
能，比如说，就像在游戏中摇骰子一样，人们摇一下他们的设备就可以获得折扣。
苹果意识到自己需要一个广告客户网和相关技术以针对上网用户的行为习惯制定广告业务。2009年
秋，苹果打算购买A dM ob——— 新兴的手机广告行业的领导者。iPhone或iPodT ouch占据了超过一半的A
dM ob的智能手机广告业务。在两家签订合同之前，谷歌却突然闯进来了，在去年11月8日宣布，将付给
AdM ob 7.5亿美元。
苹果迅即转向A dMob的竞争对手Q uattro。当苹果宣布两家决定合作时，乔布斯出人意料地任命Q
uattro CEO米勒为手机广告业务副总裁。副总裁这个称号在苹果内部可是很罕有的。苹果还专门聘请了
一位专业的并购专家，以便更好地参与交易竞争。

Don't Buy don't buy at current situation
If the market theory is true, the new low in last week around 8,000 should be retested. Just wait.

Start to build short position
I start to build short position, lightly with short in V and QID.
===============================================================
The U.S. economy shed jobs for the fourth-straight month in April.
In post-Great Depression history, a four-month losing streak has always preceded a recession. The Labor Department told us this morning that the U.S. lost another 20,000 jobs in April. The economy has shed 260,000 jobs since the new year.
But we’ll spare you the suspense. Here’s the headline you’ll read tomorrow: U.S. Employment Report Better Than Expected. Stocks Rally on Jobs Surprise, Unemployment Down.
Indeed, economists were expecting a net loss of 75,000 jobs in April. And by some mysterious quirk of government math, the unemployment rate actually fell 0.1% from March. It’s now at 5%.
The U.S. stock market, having baked in higher job losses already, surged on the news this morning.

The Fed is saving the Market, not the economics
As foreclosures surge, we also learn today vacant U.S. houses have reached a record high. According to the Census Bureau, over 18.6 million houses are empty -- up 1 million properties from a year ago.
That’s the biggest glut of vacant homes since the Census Bureau started keeping track in 1956. Most likely, this many homes haven’t sat empty since the Great Depression.
Our friend Kurt Richebacher rolled over in his grave so hard this morning he likely pulled a muscle.
But the crumbling housing market is old news, right? Gasoline prices are now the No. 1 economic concern among U.S. consumers.

What we can do for rice crisis?
Rice prices all over the world set record highs yesterday and overnight… again. Futures in Chicago punched through the $25 level in yesterday’s session. Now up 26% in April alone, Chicago rice is climbing at its fastest monthly pace since 1993.
Then, as we slept, Thai rice (the world’s most traded rice) shot up to $1,000 a ton. We got our hands on a chart of this stuff… unbelievable:
Your eyes do not deceive you… prices have tripled since the New Year. A month ago, when we were shocked at the $720 sticker price. Now $1,000? Oy…
People of the world’s poorer nations are thrilled. Here’s a Bangladeshi man expressing his excitement to a policeman. About 20,000 of his friends joined him in the latest food riot there.
A U.N. “peacekeeper” was dragged out of his car and shot in Haiti, where riots over the price of food occur almost daily. In the Ivory Coast, a mob of 1,500 overturned cars and burnt tires while chanting, “We are hungry.”
Senegal, Kenya, Egypt, Cameroon, Jordan, Yemen, Pakistan, India, Mexico, Mozambique, Zimbabwe….
Several stocks related to rice include MOS or you can just play with commodity.

too bad for job market
very bad for me:(
But here’s the rub. Unlike the tech bust, during the mortgage crisis fallout, it won’t be just Wall Street scions and their New York dependents struggling to find employment.
Today, given the slowdown in the housing and mortgage markets, only 59% of American employers plan to hire 2008 college gradates this year, down 17% from 2007. What’s more, according to Monster Worldwide’s annual survey, 29% of employers say they are “unsure” about hiring new grads -- twice as many as responded this way last year.
Pollsters at Monster say about half of all 2008 college grads plan on moving back home after graduation -- more than double the 22% who had the same plan in 2007. That can’t be good for family balance sheets already strapped preparing for retirement.
