HP was spun off from Hewlett-Packard to sell personal computers,printers,ink and toner,being the leader in the desktop printing industry.Now HP wants to enter the higher growth market for large A3 printer-copier combinations.These devices are geared toward high volume office work group customers.HP is paying 1.05 billion dollars for Samsung's A3 business and thousands of patents.*
Besides the A3 line of business,HP will acquire the ability to manufacture essential mechanisms within laser printers,so they won't have to buy them from other firms anymore.Control of this core technology will help HP to shape the evolution of its laser printers,as well as raise its profit margins.*
The deal brings with it to HP more than 6500 Samsung printing patents and 6,000 Samsung employees-among them,about 1500 engineers.*

Is Tesla Stock Ahead Of Itself ?
The problem with Tesla is,it is so far out in the future,said Erin Gibbs of S&P Capital IQ.The price target is 267.00.When you look at volatility,you're not getting paid for that upside.All of this hopeful,wishful thinking-we're thinking about 2016 and beyond.Yes,they have new models coming on,but it's far out in the future.*
Deutsche Bank,however,has a buy rating on the stock,with a 245.00 price target.Tesla's entry into home batteries is not being fully appreciated,according to DB.It's leasing option for the batteries means they will have perpetual customers and a revenue stream.With these stationary storage units,you can take power from the grid when it's cheapest,from 12 am to 4 am.*
Basically,Tesla is repackaging its electric car batteries as home and business energy storage systems.With its SolarCity sister company,which,along with SpaceX and Tesla,was also founded by South African-born Elon Musk,there is now an integrated system for both generating solar power and storing it onsite.It is an energy system that stabilises the power grid,protecting users from the swings in solar energy availability because of variable weather and electricity pricing.The system starts at 3500.00 for a residential battery pack.It does need installation and an invertor to convert the battery's direct current into the home's alternating current,which it is believed will almost double the setup cost.
Tesla has competitors in the energy storage business,such as Samsung SDI Co Ltd and Saft Groupe SA,as well ss Coda Energy.Yet demand for energy storage is predicted to experience strong growth in the years ahead as governments set higher targets for energy efficiency.That,plus Elon Musk's personal notoriety and Tesla's reputation for high quality and innovative products could help its stock price to continue to rise in the long term,despite its likely overvalued status at the moment.*

Monday Newsline:Asian Shares Rise;GE Acquires Alstom Power;Michelle Wie Champion
Asian shares rose Moday,but trimmed their early gains as trading progressed,with the CNBC 100 ASIA IDX falling from an 0.24% gain down to an 0.13 rise.The Hang Seng index,for instance,had been up 0.25,but even slipped into negative territory,down 0.11%.India's Nifty Fifty futures were down 0.32%.
The CNBC 100 ASIA IDX was lifted by a strong ASX 200 as Australians were reassured by robust commodity prices,with both NYMEX and Brent crude futures appreciating on the Iraq crisis,and copper and aluminium markets being cheered by the flash HSBC China PMI Index,which showed expansion of Chinese manufacturing for the first time in six months.The index registered 50.8 in June versus 49.4 for the final May reading.A reading of 50 or above means increased factory activity.
South Korea's KOSPI was up 0.35% on the strength of Samsung Electronics' good showing.*
The S&P futures presaged a positive morning for US stocks,with the S&P futures up 0.25%.This follows on a record high for the S&P 500 and Dow Jones indexes on Friday.
One factor in play this morning is General Electric's succussful 17.6 billion dollar bid for the power assets of the French company Alstom,beating out the German conglomerate Siemens.This was in part due to several trips to Paris by GE CEO Jeff Immelt to sell the deal to French authorities.*
In sport,American Michelle Wie,24,long one of the star players of LPGA golf,finally achieved the milestone of winning her first major championship Sunday as she took the US Women's Open at Pinehurst Resort in North Carolina.It was the end of a long quest by the tall Stanford graduate and onetime wunderkind to meet the high expectations which were set for her.She clinched the national trophy with a two under par 70 on the rigorous Donald Ross Pinehurst #2 course.She now has won a total of four LPGA tournaments,her popularity with the media and her colleagues tending to exceed her actual career accomplishments until this point.*

Asia This Day:Chinese Growth Disappoints;Australia's Golf Triumph
Australian home loans were up 2% in February,and those in arrears were at their lowest since December 2010.Indeed,people were paying their loans off several months ahead of time.
The Bank of Japan will continue with its easing programme until we achieve the inflation target of 2 %,said BOJ chief Haruhiko Kuroda.
Hong Kong air pollution was very high at all three roadside monitoring stations.
China GDP growth was disappointing,coming in at 7.7%,versus the 8.0% estimate.Asian shares declined in response in early Monday trading,with the MSCI Asia Pacific index heading down 0.37%.
China's mass consumption is basically stable,said Pu Yonghao of UBS Wealth Management.Corporate investment is weak,however,as is real estate and government investment because of government policies.UBS downgraded China to neutral in response,along with Brazil,India and Russia,which also underperformed.
On the other hand,UBS favours South Korea because of Samsung's success.The Korean colour is basically Samsung's colour.China has to push up innovation and regain pricing power.It's their brand.
In golf,the Australians made a concerted push at The Masters tournament in Augusta,Georgia as Adam Scott bested Argentina's Angel Cabrera in a playoff to take the coveted green jacket,the highest honour in professional golf.Scott and his fellow countrymen Jason Day and Marc Leishman played like men possessed all weekend.They would no longer be denied the prize that had eluded them forever.
At the Formula One Chinese Grand Prix near Shanghai,Spain's Fernando Alonso captured first place,while Kimi Raikkonen of Finland and Great Britain's Lewis Hamilton took second and third,respectively.There were nine lead changes by six different leaders in the action-packed race that filled the stands of Shanghai International Circuit with flag-waving fans.
The overall F1 points leader is World Champion Sebastian Vettel of Germany,who finished fourth.His team Red Bull-Renault leads in the constructor's standings.
