1431 ET 14Feb2007 - Love for stocks surges, eurozone highly favored-Merrill
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Passions are running highest for euro zone equities, where the net
overweight position is the most positive in 18 months. Among global sectors,
investors have 'the hots' for technology, insurance and industrials, while
utilities are still shunned on valuation grounds," Merrill Lynch said in its
latest monthly Global Fund Manager Survey.

"Global pharmaceuticals are once again the sector that is perceived as most
undervalued. Outside of traditional assets, investors are underweight
commodities, neutral property, and overweight 'alternative investments' such as
hedge funds and private equity."

1422 ET 14Feb2007 - Investors equally split on business cycle-Merrill
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Today, investors are equally split, suggesting that the global business
cycle is not as advanced as they originally thought. In a sense investor
perceptions of the business cycle have gone back to exactly where they were one
year ago - and not that far from where they were two years ago," Merrill Lynch
said in a note detailing results of its latest Global Fund Manager survey.

1340 ET 14Feb2007-Rate of call buying in Netflix seen as bearish sign
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The high levels of call buying in Netflix Inc. (NFLX.O) is seen as a likely
bearish sign for its shares from a contrarian view, said Jay Shartsis at R.F.
Lafferty.

Its 21-day volume based put/call ratio fell to a new low of near 58 puts
traded for every 100 calls. Last August, 200 puts traded for every 100 calls.
That was a lot of bearishness from option traders and the stock rallied from
$18.12 to $30 in December. "In contrast we now have the most relative call
buying since Oct 2004," he said. This call buying is taking place against a
stock that has been standout weak, not strong.

It shares on Wednesday fell 33 cents to $22.58.

1332 EST 14Feb2007-Fed chief's view and earnings spur rally in stocks
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

U.S. stocks rose sharply and the Dow industrials hit a record high on
Wednesday, boosted by comments from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke that
the economy will grow moderately as inflation eases.

The Fed chief's message in semiannual testimony to Congress on the economy
eased worries that the central bank will raise interest rates any time soon.
After Bernanke's comments, interest-rate futures indicated a higher chance of a
rate cut by the end of the year.

1318 EST 14Feb2007-Broad US stock market rally prompts volatility selling
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

U.S. stock options volatility dropped on Wednesday as the U.S. equities
market extended its bull run after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said
inflation pressures were starting to ease.

"Bernanke's comments alleviated some of the concerns that investors had
about another hike in interest rates and now are more comfortable that, in the
near-term future, there may actually be decreases," said Herb Kurlan, president
of Vtrader Pro, an online options, equities and futures firm in San Francisco.
