On Wednesday, July 8, California Pizza Kitchen (CPKI) raised its second-quarter earnings guidance, helped by cost-control initiatives that offset declining revenue. Shares of the company climbed 4.49% and closed at $13.73 after the announcement.

Clearly home prices are below the level experienced a year ago, and without putting economic realities aside, home prices rose from April to May around the fabled Bay Area, which recorded its second consecutive month-over-month improvement.Across the nine-county region the median price for existing, single-family homes was $337,000 in May 2009, up 9.6 % month-over-month, down 37.1% year-over-year, with a total of 5,655 resale properties exchanged during May 2008, up 27.6% percent from a year ago.The improvement can be attributed to buyers' and investors' willingness to step up to the place given the reduction in home prices over the past year, the relatively low interest rates, as well as various government and industry incentives. However, concerns remain that rising ...
