• DR Horton (NYSE:DHI) reported a fiscal fourth quarter loss of 73 cents, versus Zacks projections of a 27 cents loss, on revenues of $1.01 billion, which was inline with Zacks estimates.  According to Chairman Donald R. Horton, "Our net sales orders in the September quarter reflected a 26% increase compared to the prior year quarter. However, market conditions in the homebuilding industry are still challenging, characterized by rising foreclosures, high inventory levels of available homes, increasing unemployment, tight credit for homebuyers and weak consumer confidence."

• Dell (NASDAQ:DELL) reported disappointing third quarter earnings of 23 cents a share, missing Zacks estimates of 27 cents a share, as a 15% fall in revenues from a year ago generated revenues of $12.9 billion, below Zacks projections of $13.2 billion.  Nevertheless, CEO Michael Dell said early Windows 7 demand was proving correct his assumption that firms which had passed over Vista would upgrade

VGZ, Vista Gold Corp.

VGZ is an international gold mining company based in Littleton, Colorado, with a plus 20-year history of gold exploration, development and operations.

** VGZ reported an update on activities at the Paredones Amarillos gold project in Baja California Sur, Mexico.

Receipt of the Temporary Occupation Permits was announced on October 28, 2009, and signals the commencement of a number of activities designed to advance the development of the project towards construction and the planned start of production in 2011.

Once in production, the Paredones Amarillos gold project is expected

It is often said that the quiet ones are the ones to watch. They go about their business with little noise or capital expense, then all of a sudden “pop” with profit. It is always difficult to spot these companies since they don’t attract much attention. If an investor can spot such a company, however, large rewards may arrive.

Vista Gold Corp., a precious metals explorer and extractor, works to identify and exploit gold, silver and copper resources. It works primarily in the United States, Australia, Mexico and Indonesia.

As the company moves forward, it has become increasingly optimistic about its Northern Territory, Australia Mt. Todd project. The project has undergone the most accepted Canadian testing to verify solid potential. After extensive testing, the accepted results indicate the potential for a 15.2 year gold mine life, 4.5 million ounces, cost of AU$453 per/ounce, average production over the first three years of 276,000

Intel Corp. (Nasdaq: INTC) is a cyclical company.  That is, its stock does extremely well when the economy is ready to accelerate, and does poorly when the economy decelerates.  So it’s no wonder that last year the stock fell more than 50% from the record-high of $27.78 a share it reached December 2007. However, the company has rallied more than 50% from its Feb. 23 low of $12.08 a share. It closed Friday at $19.64. So, what’s next?

For starters, Intel beat second-quarter earnings estimates by 10 cents a share, as its revenue climbed 12% year-over-year to $8 billion.  Beating earnings estimates is important, but beating on the top line and showing sales growth is even more important in a recession. The reason: It shows that you can do well in spite of a weak economy.

Like most chip stocks, Intel is an economic leading indicator of sorts –

Google Chrome: The science of free economics Google Inc. (GOOG) has announced a new operating system that is specifically targeted at netbooks. The Google Chrome, as it is called, is expected to hit the market in the second half of 2010.

Meanwhile, Google’s new Android operating system (specially designed for mobile phones) has already been selected for Acer netbooks (scheduled to launch in October this year). Apple (AAPL) has also indicated its intention to introduce its own netbook by the end of this year.

Since Microsoft (MSFT) dominates the netbook market, any competition irrespective of the source will take share from the company. So both Google and Apple can do significant damage.

But the real fear for Microsoft is Chrome’s potential to take over the entire PC market. Chrome will work with chips based on both x86 architecture from Intel (INTC) and Advanced
