There has been a storm brewing for several weeks in the world of big business and high finance, and it appears to be coming to a head today. It was highlighted this morning on CNBC’s early broadcast. Mere rumors related to the story caused one stock to move up more than 6%, twice as much as yesterdays’ rally in the S&P 500. One morning talk show devoted three hours to discussing issues around the topic. Was it, today’s Jobless Claims report? The 10 year Treasury note trading at or below a 3% yield? The Euro bank stress test? Nope. The world is standing still waiting to find out where LeBron James will play basketball next year.

While the sports and mainstream media have covered the story to ad nauseam the business implications are pretty significant and fun to consider from a systems theory perspective. As mentioned previously, just yesterday shares of Madison Square Garden (MSG:Nasdaq), owners of the New York Knicks, rose 6.41% or $1.30. The speculation began when it was announced that James’ Thursday prime time news conference would take place in Greenwich, Connecticut, just up the road from the city.  The front-runners for his services appear to be Miami, Chicago, New York, New Jersey, and his current team and hometown, Cleveland.

Make no mistake, if he chooses to jump ship and join a new team, the wheels of commerce will turn a little quicker from Beaverton, Oregon to the Far East. Like most superstar athletes, James has a lucrative deal with Nike (NKE:NYSE), which will issue a new ‘King James’ shoe regardless of where he plays next year. Look for the ‘South Beach Slam-A-Jamma’ high top if he chooses Miami or the ‘Second Coming’ Velcro style if he ends up in Chicago. Of course the ‘There’s no place like home’ old school Chuck Taylor’s are a possibility as well. Who knows where he’ll land, but the one thing you can count on is Nike capitalizing on the opportunity.

A new team also equals millions of jerseys designed, manufactured, and sold from giant retailers to kiosks in every mall across America. Hats, bumper stickers, trading cards, license plate frames, posters, and of course those life size Fathead wall displays.

If James stays in Cleveland it will be a win for loyalty and for a town that desperately needs hero’s, sports or otherwise. If he leaves it will mean new opportunities and jobs. Make no mistake about it, this is big business.

Today’s Markets

U.S. stocks are higher in early trading for the third straight day, on jobless claims and retail news. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 4 points to 1,064, while the Nasdaq composite index rose 8 points to 2,167.

The Labor Department said initial claims for jobless benefits declined by 21,000 to 454,000 in the week ended July 3. Economists had expected claims would fall by 12,000. That last time claims dropped by so much was in mid-April. June chain-store sales were mixed but not weak enough to scare off investors, with half the stores that have reported beating Street estimates and the other half missing.

The European Central Bank announced it would hold interest rates steady. The Bank of England also left key rates unchanged at its monthly meeting. The euro, which was boosted Wednesday after the ECB released details about planned stress tests for 91 European banks, was recently trading at $1.2673, up from $1.2642 late Wednesday in New York.

Demand for Treasuries was mixed, with the two-year note flat and the 10-year note down to push yield up to 3.01%. Crude-oil futures rose to nearly $75 a barrel, while gold futures declined.

• 7-8-10 Daily Small Cap Market News and Stock Highlights from SmallCapVoice.com – Stocks extended a rally into a third day as investors welcome a report that first-time jobless claims fell more than expected last week …

• Stocks Move Higher Amid Better-than-Expected Jobless Claims Report … -Stocks extended a rally into a third day as investors welcome a report that first-time jobless claims fell more than expected last week …

• Beauty Holding Investing in Models – Each week, 5-10 companies write me to ask if I would review their site. 99% of the time, I take a quick and little that I would like to feature as a story. This past weekend, one company put themselves in that 1% with an interesting idea – selling shares of model’s future earnings.

The lead story in the New York Times, The Washington Post, and the Dallas Morning News today is the Labor Department Employment report of a net loss of 125,000 jobs in the month. That was due primarily to the loss of 225,000 temporary census jobs that had swelled payrolls by 433,000 net jobs in May. Business hiring was a dismal 83,000. State and local governments cut 10,000 jobs in the month. Overall, that means a loss in jobs in the latest reports. So the national unemployment rate holds steady just south of 10%.  While U6, the nations broadest measure of employment reached a staggering 16%.

I bet if you asked the average American who’s really good at creating jobs not one in ten would say the federal government. In a normal scenario, the expansion of government through job creation creates a few unintended consequences, namely, more bureaucracy, less efficiency, higher taxes. While these are tough economic times, this latest attempt at federal job creation is embarrassing. The so-called shovel-ready projects were supposed to remind us of FDR’s Works Projects Administration, and the cornerstone of his three R’s: relief, recovery, and reform. Well they just don’t make politicians like they used to. Both parties version of the three R’s is better described as reckless, rattled, and ridiculous.

You know who’s good at creating jobs? Small companies on the cutting edge of technology, product creation, and process improvement. If the federal government had the foggiest notion on what they were doing, they would remove all barriers for small businesses. From relaxed regulations on research and development to reduction or even suspension of taxation, anything that gives small companies a competitive advantage is good for our long term economic growth. Don’t forget Dell Computers was started in a college students’ apartment in Austin, Texas and Apple was started by a couple of hippies’ in their parents’ garage in California. And today’s newsmaker below Tootie Pie which develops, produces, and markets high end dessert products to retailers and restaurants. They’ve creates 25 jobs and will add more this fall.

Give me one example of that kind of job creation by the federal government in the last 40 years. Time’s up. No, really. Time’s up.

Today’s Markets

Stocks are lower once again, capping a bad week, as disappointing jobs data fueled worries about a second half slowdown in the economy.

Ahead of the July 4th holiday weekend, investors added to the weeks’ losses. Stocks have been hit hard this week, ending the second quarter and starting the third on concerns about the sustainability of the global recovery.

Slipping for its seventh consecutive session, all major indexes are lower. The Dow Jones Industrial average is down -70.57 to 9661.96. The Nasdaq is down -14.22 to 2087.14.

The government’s monthly jobs data sent mixed messages on the labor market. The jobless rate edged down to 9.5% in June from 9.7% the previous month, better than the increase to 9.8% economists were expected. However, the decline in the unemployment rate appeared to be skewed because in June, the civilian labor force participation rate fell 0.3 percentage point to 64.7%.

Meanwhile, nonfarm payrolls fell by 125,000 last month, with only 83,000 private-sector jobs added. Economists were expecting payrolls to drop by a more modest 110,000 in June. Nevertheless, the drop in nonfarm payrolls was smaller than many investors had feared.

Tootie Pie Company Reports Over a $1 Million Gross Profit

Jul. 2, 2010 (Business Wire) — Tootie Pie Company, Inc. (OTCBB:TOOT) announced a gross profit of $1,078,349 and annual revenues of $1,686,109, for fiscal year ending March, 2010, reflecting increases in both areas from the 2009 fiscal year.

“We’re pleased to report an improvement in cash flow of $667,369, resulting primarily from an 82% reduction in cash used for operating activities,” said Don L. Merrill, Jr. President & CEO. Merrill attributed the reduced cash flow loss of only $148,037 to “cost saving measures adopted by our management team to address the U.S. Economic downturn.”

“The Company has demonstrated the ability to significantly reduce operating expenses while still maintaining our sales levels, thereby bringing Tootie Pie Company very close to cash flow break even,” added Merrill.

In addition, the Company was able to acquire and roll out its first two Tootie Pie Gourmet Cafés during this same period. “I think its clear we accomplished a great deal during one of the most difficult financial environments in U.S. history,” said Merrill.

Net loss, which includes noncash items, depreciation and amortization, dropped $209,589 (30%) to $478,226 for the twelve months ending March 31, 2010, versus $687,815 for the twelve months ending March 31, 2009. Annual revenues also increased to $1,686,109 for 2010, versus $1,670,324 for the fiscal year ending in 2009. Gross margin improved slightly to 64% for the year ending March 31, 2010 compared to 63% for the year ending March 31, 2009.

“Sales have been up for eight consecutive months,” Merrill said. “With our sales trending up and our operations at near break even, 2010 is poised to be a great year for Tootie Pie Company,” added Merrill. “We have the Company positioned to take it to the next level in terms of sales growth and bottom line results.”

At every point in the economic history of this country the case for small cap investing has been strong. Small companies are the fast, lean engines that drive technological innovation and create entire industries out of a simple idea (the Foreman Grill with heat on two sides of the meat), a process improvement (the Weedeater), or a landmark development (Facebook) that changes the way we live and think. With coming changes in tax legislation, and more likely on the horizon, it’s possible that the popularity of small cap investing will soon explode.

In 1986, Congress ordered the Treasury to study an integration of the corporate and individual income taxes. The Treasury study, released in 1992, recommended as the simplest approach would be a tax exclusion for dividends that have already been taxed as corporate income. President George W. Bush proposed just that in 2003, but secured only a reduction in the dividend tax rate, to a maximum of 15%.

That deal expires at the end of 2010. Without action by Congress, dividends beginning next year will be taxed as ordinary income. In fact, they’ll be taxed a little more. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, signed into law by President Obama in March, increased Medicare taxes and extended them to all income, not just earned income. That includes dividends.

Additionally, the capital gains tax rate is on the endangered species list. From a tax savings perspective, the playing field is leveled between the short-term trader and the buy and hold, dividend seeking investor. Why wouldn’t this breed of investor start investigating the wonderful world of small cap stocks?

Today’s Markets

Stocks are off to a shaky start in Friday trading after the final reading on first-quarter GDP was revised lower. GDP was revised to show the economy grew at a 2.7% annual rate which is down from the prior estimate of 3 percent and 5.6 percent in the fourth quarter. Business spending was also revised lower to a 2.2 percent rate from the prior estimate of 3.1 percent. Corporate profits, meanwhile, were more than double the prior estimate, rising 5 percent.

Banks stocks are up in early trading after Congress reached a deal on financial reform. The legislation, now called the Dodd-Frank bill, now goes to the full House and Senate for a vote and could be signed into law by President Obama by July 4.

The bill dilutes Dem. Sen. Blanche Lincoln’s proposal to make banks spin off their swaps-trading desks after several lawmakers threatened to vote against the legislation on the grounds that such a provision would force trading overseas. The compromise allows banks to stay involved in foreign-exchange and interest-rate swaps dealing, which account for the bulk of the $615 billion over-the-counter derivatives market.

Tootie Pie Company Inc. (OTC BB: TOOT) reported its eighth consecutive month-over-month sales increase. Eight consecutive months of sales increases speaks well to the ongoing success of Tootie Pie’s marketing strategies.

Tootie Pie Company announced that that May 2010 unit sales jumped 32%, versus May, 2009. This comes on the heels of a 13% jump in April 2010 versus April 2009. Tootie Pie also experienced strong pie sales from its two new Gourmet Cafés.

“Certainly, I expect this trend to continue,” added Merrill. “For example, I recently attended a marketing conference in New York City, where some of the top brands in America were present, networking and providing their insights as to the future trends affecting retailers.” Merrill said he was very pleasantly surprised at the interest many of these marketing executives expressed in Tootie Pie.

Tootie Pie recently announced that Tootie Pie is now carried in Toby Keith’s “I Love This Bar & Grill” at three Oklahoma locations: Bricktown in Oklahoma City, the Hard Rock Hotel in Tulsa and the newly opened WinStar Casino in Thackerville.

“Toby Keith’s is a high profile, growing brand and we are happy to have Tootie Pie’s available at these three locations. Hopefully, we will see our pies in some of their other franchise locations as well,” said Don Merrill, President & CEO.

“The better restaurant operators are responding when we tell them of our success with other high profile accounts, as well as with the results we are seeing in our Gourmet Café’s from Tootie Pie sales. It only makes sense that a group that operates upscale venues like Toby Keith’s, would want to add Tootie Pie to their menu,” added Merrill.

As Tootie Pie continues to increase sales and add new revenue producing restaurant customers, 2010 is shaping up to be a very strong year for the Tootie Pie Company.

Dow Surges On International Forecast, Labor Data

Prospects for global economic growth sparked a surge in stocks Thursday, putting the Dow Jones Industrial Average back above 10000 for the first time in a week.

The DJIA traded with a strong gain throughout Thursday’s session, helped by bullish comments from the European Central Bank and strong economic data from the U.S. and China. The average gained momentum as the closing bell ended with a 273-point gain, up 2.8%, at 10173, the biggest one-day rise since May 27.

The euro strengthened against the dollar after the ECB boosted its growth forecast for this year, helping to push up investors’ appetite for small-cap stocks, commodities, and energy stocks. Materials and industrials, heavily exposed to global demand prospects, also gained.

After weeks of volatility in the broader stock market driven primarily by worries about EU debt, some participants said they were adjusting to the constant patter of bleak headlines from the continent.

Traders say they are focused more broadly on global growth, including developments in other major regions that seem to be suffering little ripple effect from Europe’s struggles so far.
