China's Xuzhou Zhongsen Missed Bond Coupon Payment, Paper Says

A privately held Chinese building materials company failed to pay interest on high-yield bonds, 21st Century Business Herald reported today.

Xuzhou Zhongsen Tonghao New Board Co., based in the eastern province of Jiangsu, missed the 10 percent Printable Coupons payment due March 28 on the notes, which it sold 180 million yuan ($29 million) of last year in a private placement, the report said, citing an unidentified person. The bond's guarantor, Sino-Capital Guaranty Trust, refused to pay on behalf of the company, according to the Guangzhou-based financial newspaper.

The default would mark the second for China's onshore bond market, following one by Shanghai Chaori Solar Energy Science & Technology Co. (002506) last month. Increasing defaults may signal the government has backed off from its practice of bailing out companies with bad debt. Premier Li Keqiang said in March at the conclusion of an annual legislative gathering that some defaults may be unavoidable as authorities tighten credit.

"In general, what we will see is a gradual unwinding of implicit government guarantee for a lot of credit products in China," said James Zhao, chief investment officer in Beijing at the international department of CCB Principal Asset Management Co. "There will continue to be a mixture of bond defaults and too-big-to-fail, or too-entangled, cases. It's now up to the market to find the pattern and investors will now have to figure out who is creditworthy and who is more likely to fail. It's a positive development."

Failures Mount

A woman who answered the phone at Zhongsen Tonghao and wouldn't give her name said the company couldn't immediately comment on the matter. Two calls to Sino-Capital Guaranty Trust went unanswered.

The number of Chinese companies whose debt is double their equity has surged since the global financial crisis, suggesting more defaults may come. Publicly traded non-financial corporates with debt-to-equity ratios exceeding 200 percent have jumped 57 percent since 2007. Chaori Solar may become China 's own "Bear Stearns moment," prompting investors to reassess credit risks as they did after the U.S. securities firm was rescued in 2008, according to Bank of America Corp.

Another closely held company based in neighboring Zhejiang province, property developer Zhejiang Xingrun Real Estate Co., collapsed less than two weeks after the Shanghai Chaori default.

Reluctance to bail out companies that can't repay debt signals "regulators' higher tolerance for corporate bond defaults amid financial market reforms, which is in line with the current central administration's shift to adopt more market-oriented policies," Moody's Investors Service said in a report on March 7.

Roku Stick Hits Amazon, Best Buy and Walmart in U.S.

Roku Streaming Stick Hits Amazon, Review and Walmart in U.S.

Roku's new and improved streaming stick hit the market today ahead of its planned U.S. launch early next month. The HDMI dongle is available for online purchase through Roku's own website as well as from Amazon, Best Buy, Target and Walmart. The company says it should be available in brick and mortar stores in April as planned.

Roku's streaming stick offers the same user experience as its set-top boxes in a much smaller package for just $49.99. You'll get the same access to Netflix, Hulu Plus, HBO Go, Aereo and more than a thousand other channels covering music, movies, sports and more. It also ships with a remote, though you can control it using the Roku app for Android and iOS if you prefer.

Roku's HDMI dongle improves on a $99 streaming stick the company developed in 2012 to ship with special "Roku Ready" TVs. The new model should give the company a boost against growing competition in the media streaming market. With a new Amazon set-top box expected to launch next week and an updated Apple TV rumored for later this year Roku will need all the help it can get.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Vs Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Gear - Price and Specs Comparison

Released in September 2013, the Note 3 and Gear remains the newest member of the popular Galaxy Note series.

The Note 3 brought in several new features to the Note lineup of smartphones such as S Pen, and pop up Apps. Due to popularity of the Note3, its successor Note 4 has garnered attention of all Smartphone enthusiasts and has become one of the much talked about device in the market. Samsung has not revealed any specifications for Note 4 but many leading technology magazines have published possible specifications of the device based on insiders leak. Let's compare the specifications of Note 3 and Gear and the upcoming Note 4.

Display

The Note 3 has display of 5.7 inches with high pixel density at 386 pixels per inch. The Super AMOLED display is capable of delivering a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels and can produce more than 16 million colors. The display in Note 3 is protected by Gorilla Glass from Corning. The Note 4 will more likely have a bigger display. If insider's leaks are to be believed, the Note 4 display will be 2 inches bigger than its predecessor.

Processor and Memory

The Note 3 is powered by a quad core microprocessor with clock frequency of 1.9 GHz and a discrete GPU, Adreno 330 running at a clock speed of 578 MHz. The device is equipped with 3GB RAM and minimum 16GB internal storage. Note 3 have three variants having different internal storage capacities such as 16GB, 32 GB and 64GB. Samsung is working on development of microprocessors based on 64-bit architecture and Note 4 might be the first device to have that technology. The Note 4 is more likely to have 4GB or more RAM.

Operating System

Note 3 runs Android 4.3 Jelly Bean OS. With new KitKat Android readily available and Note 4 likely release date before September 2014, the device will have the latest KitKat Android OS.

Camera

The Note 3 has a rear 13MP camera with LED flash and front 2MP camera. The Note 4 might get a camera boost and the device might have a 20MP rear camera with several photo enhancement technologies.

Stylus

Stylus is one of the impressive features of Note 3 and its successor might have a better Stylus and improved handwriting recognition capabilities. The Note 4 will be able to recognize scrawls drawn on the screen by user. This is an improvement as until now, the handwriting recognition feature was only able to read common words drawn on the screen.

Battery

The Note 3 and Gear features a 3200 mAh battery which gives a talk time of 21 hours on 3G networks. The Note 4 will have much battery power as it will be fitted with 3600-3800 mAh battery that will give longer talk time and extended audio and video playback time in comparison to Note 3.

Promotional Code

The Galaxy Note 3 + Gear are available at $299 in 2-year contract with leading cellular companies. The price of Note 3 at Amazon is in the range of $630- $650. The price of Note 4 will be slightly higher than Note 3.

Large city, less coupons

"Dear Jill,

I am hoping you might be able to answer a question for me. I figured if anyone will be able to help me find an answer it might be you! I live in the Quad Cities - the combination of Moline, Illinois; Rock Island, Illinois; Davenport, Iowa and Bettendorf, Iowa. I have been couponing for 10 years, and I am quite good at it. My problem is that in the Quad City Area, where there are hundreds of thousands of people, we get the worst coupons ever! Our coupon inserts only have a few coupons, and have more advertisements than actual offers. I believe we get about a quarter of the coupons that bigger cities get in their papers.

"I am just so confused as to how an area as big as ours in the Quad Cities gets such a small amount of coupons delivered in our paper compared to what a city like Chicago gets. Any information you might be able to give me as to why an area with a combined population of nearly 400,000 people barely gets any coupons would be much appreciated.

Thank you,

Amy M."

This question has come up numerous times with my readers. Why do different parts of the country, and different newspapers, get different coupons? There are a lot of factors that play into this, including population, proximity to major supermarket chains and geographic and regional areas that marketers wish to target. I don't believe there's a conspiracy afoot to give certain shoppers "better" coupons than others. However, major cities and their outlying suburbs do tend to get larger coupon inserts with more pages.

Different newspapers in the same market area also can have entirely different sets of coupon inserts, too. Again, the decision to release large coupon inserts in some areas and smaller inserts in others isn't to "punish" anyone. Marketers are looking to boost sales of specific products in particular market areas.

You compared the population of the Quad Cities to Chicago. As you noted the Quad Cities are home to more than 300,000 people. Chicago's population is 2.7 million people, and if you count the entire Chicagoland metropolitan area, the number jumps to more than 9.5 million. From a marketer's perspective, they may see a larger return on their marketing investments when they place ads in newspapers in a larger area. If they aren't seeing enough of a sales boost in a "smaller" area (and again, I'm not arguing that 300,000 people is small by any means!), they might not place coupons.

I live in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, and there have been times that I've purchased a newspaper in the city and found different coupons and inserts than I receive at my home in the 'burbs. There's nothing I can do about that - I just accept that certain brands and products are being targeted toward city dwellers over suburbanites.

I've long said that couponing is a privilege, not a right. We can want to insist on the "best" coupons, or to have the same coupons that another area receives, but they're not something we're guaranteed by anyone.

One bright side: Printable and electronic coupons are available all over, no matter where you live. And, while some offers are also store or region-specific, sites like Coupons.com, SmartSource.com and RedPlum.com offer Promotional Codes to shoppers everywhere. I realize it's not the same as getting a nice, thick coupon insert in the newspaper each week, but it's a good way to supplement your coupon base.

Smart Living Tip: Whenever I'm traveling on a Sunday, the day the coupon inserts come out in most newspapers, I'll buy a paper. It's always interesting to see what coupons are available in the area I'm visiting. (Plus, who doesn't like extra coupons?) And, if you fly on a Sunday, take a stroll through the airport terminals and "clean up" discarded papers others have left behind. It's a great way to get more free coupon inserts!

NordStrom Coupons & Hottest NordStrom Promo Codes for 2014

Dallas, TX -- ( SBWIRE) -- 01/27/2014 -- There's much to celebrate and look forward to with the start of 2014. NordStrom, Inc., a leading fashion retailer that has been in operation for over a hundred years now, has continued to bring their keen fashion sense and their line of products and offers well into the 21st century. This year would be no different. Taking their 117 shops in 35 stores to just one online shop, the Nordstrom following can only expect more exciting offers, discounts, time limited sales and promos on nothing less than some of the top fashion brands in the industry.

2014 NordStrom Coupons and Promo Codes
First off on the Nordstrom list for 2014 are their NordStrom Promo Codes. Shoppers can enjoy a hefty $25 off on their first order priced above $50. Shoppers will only need to copy and paste the Promo Code code upon online check out of the item at NordStrom and they automatically enjoy a slash in their purchase.

For US shoppers, as much as 50% off discounts can be had on, baby gears, women's dresses, coats, sandals, men's clothing, and winter pieces on brands that include - but are not limited to Decleor, Dr. Martens, Dior, Cashmere, and Military.

To avail of these big discounts and price slashes, shoppers don't even need any codes. These offers are, however, good and valid only to US shoppers.

The list can only get better, and the discounts can only get higher. NordStrom has a lot in store for the active outdoorsmen with a 55% discount on all men's active and outdoor apparel, as well as on men's jeans. And while the men may have a lot of reason to dress up for, come Valentine's Season, NordStrom makes sure the women are not to be left under-dressed for their dates - outdoors or otherwise - with 65% discounts on all women's designer collections including sunnies, shoes, pants, capris, dresses, designer sweats, yoga, sports, and outdoor apparels.

NordStrom Special Offer
NordStrom special offers are regular things that shoppers can keep watch of. These special offers of NordStrom to their US shoppers come mostly in forms of rock-bottom prices for regular items such as the 2014 offers on all junior apparel and accessories starting at only $12, women's new arrival clothing starting at only $18, and women's designer items starting only at $45.

This NordStrom list of 2014 special offers extends beyond the closet. For shoppers who feel like they need to redo their home's 2014 look, home and garden deals are also available starting from $4.9.

Looking Ahead to Valentine's Day 2014 Deals
NordStrom knows that the next most awaited holiday after the New Year is the Valentine's Day. With or without dates, NordStrom understands that shoppers can't wait to prep up for the day. With this in mind, the Special NordStrom US Valentine's Deal can already be enjoyed as early as January with Valentine's Day gifts offered starting at only $6. The gift selection are as wide and as varied as watches, jewelries, dresses for Valentine's, or as safe as a gift card.

Another gift card promotion for the US market lets you buy a gift card between $25 to $1000. Offering a NordStrom gift card as low as $25 enables students, teenagers, and basically their non-earning following to make a good impression on their recipients as one with classy, impeccable tastes in brand selection.

The NordStrom Bi-Annual Sales
NordStrom regularly holds bi-annual sales. For kids' and women's clothing, these regular bi-annual sales are held in May and November. And just when shoppers are beginning to think that the mid-year June and July months are long and boring, NordStrom comes through for them with men's clothing sale at June, and the NordStrom Anniversary sale in July.

NordStrom Retail Credit Card and Debit Card
There's an even bigger, better way of enjoying more savings and rewards throughout the year with the NordStrom Rewards Card. Shoppers have the option of choosing between the NordStrom Retail, the NordStrom Debit Card, and the NordStrom Visa Signature Card.

With no annual fee and with very competitive APRs, the NordStrom Retail Credit and Debit Cards are classy addition to your wallet's shopping power. Every use of the card earns you 2 points for every net dollar spent at NordStrom, NordStrom.com, and NordStrom Rack. An accumulated 2,000 points entitles you to a $20 NordStrom Note that can be used to redeem any item of your choice at NordStrom.

What's great about the cards is that shoppers don't even need to wait to earn the 2,000 points to enjoy the cards' benefits and privileges. Simply by purchasing any item at $100 or above with your NordStrom card upon the day of application, shoppers can already enjoy a $20 NordStrom Note.

Tate Willing to Take 'Hometown Discount'

By Tyler Conway on February 5, 2014

Golden Tate knows the riches that can come with being a member of a Super Bowl-winning team hitting free agency. He doesn't care. He wants to be a Seattle Seahawk-just as long as the price is fair.

Tate, who is an unrestricted free agent this offseason, appeared on Sports Radio 950 KJR in Seattle on Feb. 4 to discuss the team's 43-8 victory over the Denver Broncos. He was asked about his future. While Tate did not unequivocally say he'd be coming back in 2014, he was clear he'd take a Best Buy to make it happen, per Curtis Crabtree of Pro Football Talk:

I probably shouldn't even say this right now but I'm going to say it anyway just because I love Seattle, honestly, I would rather take a little less to be happy and win ball games than to take way more and go to a crappy city where the fans don't give a crap about the team. You win a game once a month of something like that. I would much rather stay in the situation that I have now for a little less than to go and try to break the bank somewhere else.

Based on his quote, the Jacksonville Jaguars, Oakland Raiders and other perpetual last-place finishers need not apply for Tate's services.

That should be no surprise considering the dichotomy between Tate's NFL success and the lack thereof his Notre Dame teams had. Tate was a member of the late-period Charlie Weis teams with the Irish, appearing in just one bowl game and never earning more than seven wins.

In his four seasons with Pete Carroll and Co. in Seattle, Tate has never won fewer than seven games. The Seahawks have made the playoffs in three of those four campaigns, including this year's Super Bowl run.

Tate, 25, was mostly held in check by Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie on Sunday, catching just three passes for 17 yards. But he was integral to Seattle's effort during the regular season.

With Percy Harvin limited to just one regular-season game, Tate stepped into the No. 1 wideout role and had the best season of his young career. He set career highs in receptions (64) and yards (898) and quietly graded out well in advanced metrics. Football Outsiders' DVOA metric ranked Tate the No. 19 receiver in football, while Pro Football Focus' wide receiver rating (subscription required) had Tate ninth.

It was a near-perfect walk year for someone who struggled mightily in each of his first two pro seasons. And though Tate was clear he would like to remain in Seattle, he still spoke clearly as someone who knew his value around the league was rising.

Gregory Bull/Associated Press

"At the same time, I don't want to be disrespected by any means," Tate said. "I want to be able to take care of myself and my family for the rest of my life at the same time. We'll see. That's what I have my agent for."

Tate, ideally, is a No. 2 receiver for most teams. He's a good route runner and exudes toughness and confidence, but he's not much of a big-play threat and lacks ideal size for someone playing on the outside. As B/R's Cian Fahey notes, Seattle may have a better long-term option to pair with Harvin already in-house with Doug Baldwin:

Golden Tate will give the Seahawks a home-town discount, unless it's substantial, I'd rather go for Baldwin.

- Cian Fahey (@Cianaf) February 5, 2014

The Seahawks' offense also didn't seem to lose a beat with Tate struggling to get open on Sunday. Russell Wilson completed 18 of 25 passes for 206 yards, with Baldwin accounting for a team-high five catches for 66 yards and a touchdown. Seattle also seems to have found a keeper in undrafted free agent Jermaine Kearse, who was just behind Baldwin with 65 yards.

Tate is a good player, but for the Seahawks, he's ultimately expendable. With long-term contracts coming up the pike for Richard Sherman, Earl Thomas, Russell Wilson and more, there just may be no room to keep Tate around and have financial flexibility.

Hometown discount or not.

Moto X $100 Off Codes: Post 'em if You Got 'em

From 3PM - 4PM ET this afternoon, Motorola held another sale for their 2013 flagship, Moto X. During that time, you could cruise over to Motorola's site and fill out a form that would land you a Promo Code code for $100 off a device. For those who managed to sign-up during that short 1-hour window, you should have already received your code that is good until February 3 at midnight.

With $100 off of a full retail Moto X, you are looking at a starting price of just $299 (MotoMaker included). If you upgrade features, like say the storage to 32GB, you could still get into a brand new custom designed Moto X for as little as $349. Or better yet, the Developer Editions were also down to $349 with this deal. Talk about a steal.

Since the sale happened during the middle of the day, we can imagine that many of you didn't have a chance to reserve your promo code before the hour was up. For those who missed out, we thought we'd put together another spot for DL community members to share codes that they don't plan on using. We have done this in the past and always seem to see plenty of love being tossed around.

So if you need a code or have an extra lying around, feel free to share in the comments.

"Most Well-Known and Beloved Chinese Role Model"

"How many Americans know that I am here in New York right now?" Chen Guangbiao asks, sitting in an armchair between his translator and his publicist in his suite at the Essex House. "How many media outlets have written about me?"

An assistant offers him a cup of jasmine tea, which he blows on pensively. "Out of 300 million Americans," he goes on, "what percentage would you say have heard about me?"

The publicist, a sweet young woman from DKC Communications, looks slightly flustered. "Well, it's kind of hard to say, because it's still ongoing," she says, tucking back an errant strand of hair. "As you know, the past few days have been ... kind of a whirlwind."

If she seems overwhelmed, she has good reason to be. Chen, a boisterous demolition and recycling tycoon from Nanjing, had arrived three days earlier, after making a bold announcement delivered via an editorial in Global Times titled: "I Intend to Buy the New York Times, Please Don't Take It As a Joke." Then he had a press conference at which Chen introduced two badly burned women who claim to have set themselves on fire at the behest of Falun Gong. He was paying for their medical treatment, he said, as the virtually faceless women waved and smiled at the crowd like a pair of homecoming queens. At the end, Chen serenaded the bemused press corps with a song, "My chinese animated new year cards Dream," that he had written himself.

Chen is a multifaceted guy, as his business card attests. According to the card, Chen is not only CEO of China Huang-Pu, a recycling and salvage company, but the "Most Influential Person of China," "Most Well-Known and Beloved Chinese Role Model," and "Most Prominent Philanthropist of China."

"This Chinese Millionaire Has the Most Ridiculous Business Card," said the website BuzzFeed, which knows from overexuberance.

This is not exactly the kind of coverage most serious businessmen hope to generate, but Chen seems pleased. Back in China, he has created a philanthropic persona that combines elements of Warren Buffett and Oprah with a morning radio host's penchant for stunts. There was the time when, wearing a lime-green suit, he vowed to buy new cars for owners of Japanese-made vehicles whose cars were damaged in anti-Japan protests; the occasion when he beat his own Mercedes to promote sustainable transportation; the particularly smoggy day in Beijing when he sold canned "fresh air" emblazoned with his face to passersby. He's shown up in fatigues to natural disasters, handed out cash to villagers, and—more than once—had his smiling face photographed from behind stacks of renminbi. "I'll give you another title: Most Shameless Person in China," one Chinese blogger quipped.

Picking up his phone, Chen shows me how famous he is. "Look," he says. On the screen is a picture of him posed on a diving board in swim trunks. "This is my participation in a TV program inviting famous figures to dive," he boasts. "This height is the equivalent to the height of three stories building. They said, 'Do you dare?' And I did it." He did, however, suffer an injury. "The water went into my ..." The translator frowns. "Nasal channel? No." He reaches for his English dictionary. "Underneath," he adds, gesturing behind him.

"Oh ..." says the publicist.

"I bought a woman's diaper," Chen continues. "So when the water comes through my— "

"Anus!" finishes the translator, who has found the right page. "Sorry, that word escaped me."

Then Chen leans forward intently: "Tell me," he says. "Do you think Americans like what I do? All of this? Will they like me?"

Now I'm not sure how to answer. On the one hand: Sure? It's not like George Soros ever sings, or talks about his anus—at least not in public. On the other hand ...

" Ahhhhh! " an old woman screamed when she saw Chen bearing down on her on a New York City street soon after he arrived. It turned out he was just trying to help with her groceries—the sort of everyday act of heroism he's known for in China. "But she was like, 'Who is this strange man?' " says a friend of Chen's family from China, a young Realtor in Flushing who doesn't want his name used for fear of being dragged into the circus. Most Americans have reacted to Chen in pretty much the same way: with suspicion and fear.

As China's power has grown, so too has Americans' anxiety about it. A Pew survey last summer put American approval of the People's Republic at a lousy 37 percent, citing concerns about jobs, human rights, and, oh yeah, freedom of the press. The Chinese Communist Party, always a bit sensitive about its image, has in the past few years aggressively gone after news organizations that paint it as repressive, mostly by being extra repressive. It's been particularly punitive toward the Times. After the paper reported on the immense family wealth of former prime minister Wen Jiabao, the regime kicked out two Times journalists for supposed visa violations, blocked the Times' s site—resulting in a 20 percent stock drop—and, it is widely believed, hacked into the e-mails of the paper's reporters.

The Bullish and Bearish Case for Best Buy in 2014

Deal Of The Day Co. Inc. (NYSE: BBY) remains in a state of turnaround, although you do not hear the reports of its future death any longer. Best Buy's woes were as simple as the rise of Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) to the point that Best Buy was being turned into the online retailer's outsourced showroom for free. That was then, but you cannot evaluate Best Buy, or any electronics retailer, without considering the Amazon threat.

Best Buy shares rose nearly 300% from their cycle lows. It was one of the best S&P 500 stocks of 2013. With the S&P 500 up over 29% and a gain of more than 26% in the Dow Jones Industrial Average in 2013, 24/7 Wall St. wanted to run the bullish and bearish cases for Best Buy and other key stocks in 2014.

There are many macroeconomic factors to consider, as well as retail industry issues. Most Wall Street strategists are forecasting higher price targets for the S&P 500. Will the rising tide lift Best Buy again if other ships rise? The Federal Reserve is about to get a new chairman, and it is generally expected that interest rates will rise as the bond buying is tapered. Gross domestic product is expected to tick up in the United States as well.

Best Buy's bullish scenario is that Amazon now has to pay sales tax too in many states, which lowers some of the obvious advantages. Best Buy has spruced up its stores, focused on higher-end appliances and tried to eliminate its money-losing areas of the store. You also no longer hear about its death every day.

Best Buy does have a bearish case as well. Amazon is still a thorn in its side, and the price-matching online competition that Amazon is pursuing can hurt margins, even if it helps sales. Many of the products that Amazon used to make higher margins on (PCs, flat panel TVs and peripherals) are being driven lower as well.

At 16.4 times current year earnings Best Buy sounds fairly priced. At 14 times expected earnings one-year out, it does not sound expensive at all.

The good news is that analysts now have a $46.50 price target on Best Buy, which implies upside of better than 15%, now that Best Buy shares have pulled back from the recent highs. Recent news from competitor hhgregg helped fuel the retreat. With a $13.6 billion market cap, Best Buy shares are back close to a post-recession high. It seems impossible to expect a continued turnaround in 2014 even remotely close to what we saw in 2013. That being said, the pack of analysts sees upside now that the stock has pulled back off its highs.

Mariners Need Approval From Ownership To Spend More

Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports is reporting that the Mariners are still in the hunt for one or more of the following: Masahiro Tanaka, David Price, Nelson Cruz. However, the front office needs to persuade ownership to go for the gusto and spend the extra money.

Sources: #Mariners weighing a number of options - Tanaka, Price, N. Cruz, etc. - but need to persuade ownership to keep pressing forward.

- Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) January 6, 2014

So this all but confirms the earlier reports that the Mariners were at their spending limit despite the fact that robinson cano stats Cano was their only major sign.

The Mariners are still around $10 million under their payroll from last year and around $20M under their payroll of 2011. They clearly have the money to spend, it's just a matter of getting the ownership group (primarily Nintendo) to loosen the purse strings and help turn this team into a team that can put up video game-type stats.

More as it develops.
