Become a proud owner of gold today

We all know gold is an invulnerable and indissoluble metal besides having the greatest value in its metal and even the governments can't devalue it for anything! This is why gold has survived every economy history ever witnessed and its huge returns to investors have been strong since a span of over 5000 years. Investors who buy gold bullion since years gain extreme purchasing power as the years go by.

Buying gold in bullion is the best method of preserving your money because it is high value for money. In-fact it is money in its purest form. It is the ultimate asset of every body, which is durable, and can't be messed by anyone.

So the best advice from anyone to everyone would be to buy bullion as it would be better preserved in a solid way and will make you a proud owner of a huge chunk of gold bullion just like your fellow investors.

Buy gold bullion, and preserve your money in solid

Thursday morning we saw a slight pull back for the price of gold, the decline was caused by Greek finances. This has also put investors at risk due to Greeks deepening debt crisis and their anxiety increases when it comes to risk in the market. Their main concern is Greece's ability to solve their financial obligations which has been the speculated main cause of the dollar lift, and the decline in the euro.

I guess we all know when dollars go up, gold prices sink and vice versa. On the contrary, gold as expected to rebound, is considered a successful method of preserving your money in solid rather than in just paper! So, its never too late to buy gold bullion and keep your money safe.

HEWLETT-PACKARD

Hewlett-Packard unveiled four new laptops, including a special edition stylish notebook PC designed by U.S.-based renowned fashion designer Vivienne Tam. HP has about 33 percent market share in India's laptop segment.

Addressing a press conference here, HP's Senior Vice-President (Global Marketing) of Personal Systems Group (PSG) Satjiv S. Chahil said: "We continuously work to ensure that our HP Pavilion line appeals to new markets and segments. Vivienne's fresh and authentic design speaks to an intrinsic part of a digital lifestyle-personal expression." According to HP India's President (PSG) Ravi Swaminathan, the company plans to strengthen its market leadership position with an aggressive 'go-to-market' strategy by increasing its retail footprint across 650 cities and expanding retail partner network to over 10,000 by this year-end.

HP Vice President in an interview today on CNBC indicated that HP PC business remains robust, and touted Gartner report that shows growth of at least 15%.

HP shares are down 23.5% year to date. Innovation Index Group has a BUY recommendation on HP with a 12 month price target of $50 to $60.

PROCTOR & GAMBLE

Mr. A.G. Lafley, CEO of P&G, said: "The reason P&G has grown so consistently for so long is that we're a company that sticks to the fundamentals. We build brands that improve consumers' lives. We deliver superior value day in and day out. We manage cash and costs with unrelenting discipline. And we invest in innovation as the primary driver of profitable organic sales growth.

"While the economic environment remains volatile and uncertain, I am confident that P&G can and will continue to prosper over the long term. We are committed to ensuring P&G will continue to be a company you can count on."

P&G's net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 increased nine percent to $83.5 billion, with organic sales up five percent - in the middle of the Company's four to six percent target range. Diluted earnings per share were $3.64, up 20 percent - or double the Company's ten percent target. P&G's free cash flow was $13.0 billion for the fiscal year, or 106 percent of net earnings - well above the Company's 90 percent goal.

P&G sales have nearly doubled for each of the past three decades - from $10 billion in 1980 to more than $80 billion today with earnings growth increasing from $640 million to $12 billion over the same period. Over the past five years, P&G has delivered 11 percent compound annual total return to shareholders, nine percent over the past ten years, and 16 percent over the past 20 years. The Company's dividends have also increased every year - more than nine percent a year, on average - over the past fifty-two years, and have been paid without interruption since the Company was incorporated 118 years ago. P&G recently announced a 40 cents dividend.

P&G shares are down 15.8% year to date. Innovation Index Group has a BUY recommendation on P&G with a 12 month price target of $75 to $85

APPLE

JP Morgan is upgrading Apple to Overweight from Neutral. Apple's model is far more diverse than previous vintages, and they think the staying power has been underappreciated. With its market share momentum likely intact, Apple in firm's view offers strong relative downside protection to the looming earnings reset that they expect to impact IT Hardware companies in coming weeks and again early next year.

- Diverse model provides staying power. There has been considerable investor concern lately over the Apple model losing steam, particularly if the consumer vertical rolls over. JPM estimates that the company's total model exposure is about 70-75% consumer, but they think that Apple's brand and market share momentum offer meaningful buffers to potential macro-driven pressures on the consumer.

- Retail expansion could sustain share gains and international momentum. JPM thinks a major force behind Apple's growth story will be its diversifying revenue streams. They expect Apple's penetration of the international markets to be measured in years and supported by the increasing build-out of the retail stores overseas.

- iPhone could lead to the enterprise or other content-rich devices. Firm thinks the iPhone could be a stepping stone to penetrating the enterprise. Also, they could envision the iPhone pushing Apple deeper into the set-top box market as the convergence of voice, web, data, and content continues.

- Expect numbers to come down across the sector, but Apple likely has a backstop beyond the first round. For Apple, they are revising their below-consensus revenue and EPS estimates. Looking to fiscal 2009, revenue and EPS estimates are $36.98 billion and $5.27, versus the Street consensus of $40.26 billion and $6.02.

- Apple trades at 18.8x JPM's calendar 2009 EPS estimate, versus the peer group average of 11.1x. With macro pressures showing no signs of dissipating, they believe it is time to play defense, and they think Apple can avoid having a major problem with the "E" in the price-to-earnings multiple moving through the coming year. Firm expects the company's model to limit a series of major earnings cuts from unfolding in coming quarters, and they think this should support a valuation gap in Apple's favor.

Apple announced new aluminum shell, more powerful laptops on October 14, and reduced the price on updated laptops to under $1,000. Apple is poised to see a robust growth in its sale of notebooks during the holiday season owing to competitive pricing and better features.

Apple shares are down 48.6% year to date. Innovation Index Group has a BUY rating on Apple, and is now updating the 12 month price target in the range of $160 to $190.

IBM

JPMorgan upgrades IBM as a stock that is a 'sturdy ship' in rough economic waters

A JPMorgan analyst upgraded International Business Machines Corp. saying the company's diverse and steady revenue streams make the stock a "sturdy ship" in the worsening economic environment, the firm said Wednesday.

Mark Moskowitz raised his rating to "Overweight" from "Neutral" because IBM has diverse revenue sources that offer relative stability. He also said at least half of the company's revenue comes from annual payments on long-term services and software contracts.

IBM represents a "flight to quality" for investors" due to its broad services, hardware and software reach," the analyst wrote. IBM 3Q profits jumped 20% from last year in large part due to services contracts.

IBM shares are down 15.3% year to date. Innovation Index Group has a BUY recommendation on IBM with a 12 month price target of $125 to $150.

These four innovators present attractive buying opportunity at the current price points.

U.S. Stock Markets Make Historical Jump

Dow Jones gains 936.42 points in one day, the biggest single day jump, a rise of 11.08%. The S&P 500 climbs 104.10 points, or 11.6%, to 1,003.32, the S&P's largest daily point jump. The Nasdaq Composite amasses 194.74 points, or 11.8%, to 1,844.25, the third-greatest percentage rise.

What is in store for tomorrow? Can the markets continue this rally?

Our outlook is that the U.S. stock markets will rebound further post November elections and post November options expiration. Whether they would finish the year in the positive remains to be seen.

Statement of IIG Financial Condition - Innovation Index Group

Dear Current and Prospective IIG Investors:

Some of you may have thought about the financial condition of IIG (Innovation Index Group) and my personal financial condition, especially in this current economic climate. Rest assured, I have worked hard for 10 years in Silicon Valley, and through the options in various company stocks that I worked at and that we gained, and smart investments in the stock markets and through the equity we built in our Fremont home that we sold last year, we have amassed enough savings to last us another five to ten years at the very least. We also bought a house this summer in Turtle Rock. We are blessed and lucky to be in this position. Having said that, it behooves us to work hard to continue this growth and not just deplete our savings, and to that end, I am planning to become a CFP next year and open a full-blown independent investment practice, and my wife has also begun working full-time. We have done well, and have no plans to retire in our forties... perhaps in our fifties ;-) And on a separate note, we are mentally healthy too, and plan to stay that way for the rest of our lives ;-) We do many things to relax and enjoy each weekend and during the week.

So, if you are considering investing in the stock market or real estate, please consider IIG - Innovation Index Group and REIG - Real Estate Investing Group (newly launched) as your consistent partner for steady growth over the next five to ten years and beyond. Invest with Confidence and Grow your Wealth...

I am thankful and grateful to my partners in IIG and REIG, and all our friends, family members, and partners for your continuous support and belief.

Sincere regards,
Sanjay Dalal
President & Managing Director
