Cisco ($CSCO) beats forecasts, recovery under way
Cisco Systems Inc posted a stronger-than-expected profit for its fiscal first quarter and said business was recovering as customers are buying more network equipment again after cutting back for the past year. Chief Executive John Chambers' revenue forecast for the current quarter also exceeded Wall Street expectations, helping the shares rise 3.7 percent after-hours Wednesday. He also said business conditions likely hit bottom in the early part of this year, its fiscal third quarter. "There will be a good chance we will look back to see that Q3 was in fact the bottom, that Q4 was the tipping point, and the recovery started aggressively in Q1 of fiscal '10," he said. Cisco is the world's top vendor of routers, switches and other network equipment used by global businesses, including telephone companies, as well as governments. (money.cnn.com)

The lawsuit charges that Intel violated state and federal laws by abusing its dominant position in the chip market to keep its main rival, Advanced Micro Devices, at bay. Intel has faced similar lawsuits in Asia and Europe, and in May the European Commission fined the company a record $1.45 billion for antitrust violations. These cases have largely revolved around deals Intel has struck with computer makers and retailers that, regulators say, pressured them into picking the company's microprocessors - which serve as the central chip inside personal computers and servers - instead of competing products from A.M.D. "Rather than compete fairly, Intel used bribery and coercion to maintain a stranglehold on the market," Mr. Cuomo said in a statement. "Intel's actions not only unfairly restricted ... (Read More)

SEC Sues Value Line Inc. ($VALU) and Two Senior Officers for $24 Million Fraudulent Scheme
The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged New York City-based investment adviser Value Line Inc., its CEO, its former Chief Compliance Officer and its affiliated broker-dealer with defrauding the Value Line family of mutual funds by charging over $24 million in bogus brokerage commissions on mutual fund trades funneled through Value Line's affiliated broker-dealer, Value Line Securities, Inc. (VLS). Value Line, its CEO Jean Buttner, its former Chief Compliance Officer David Henigson, and VLS agreed to settle the SEC's charges by consenting, without admitting or denying the Commission's findings, to the entry of a cease-and-desist order that also requires total payments of nearly $45 million in monetary remedies, including civil penalties. The SEC's order also imposes industry and officer and director bars and other relief. (sec.gov)

Mac share grew after Windows 7 debut ($AAPL) ($MSFT)
If Microsoft (MSFT) was hoping that the launch of Windows 7 would halt the erosion of its operating system market share - and curb further inroads by Apple (AAPL) - there is no evidence that it's working yet. In fact, preliminary data released overnight Sunday by Net Applications show Mac OS X's Internet share growing by 2.73% in October, from 5.12% to 5.26%. Windows' Internet presence, meanwhile, fell from 92.77% to 92.54% - its ninth loss in 12 months. Windows 7's share, however, was more than 2% even before its Oct. 22 general release, thanks to widespread use of early release versions. By Oct. 30 the Windows 7 portion was 2.85%, largely at the expense of Windows XP, according to a separate Net Applications report. (fortune.cnn.com)

Excluding special items, Ford reported a profit of $873 million, or 26 cents a share, in the period. Analysts had been forecasting a loss of 12 cents a share for the quarter on this basis.
