Why the Upgrade?
We believe that better pay-TV services, dishNET satellite broadband services and strong customer faith will help the company to improve its financial condition. Business fundamentals remain intriguing. DISH is gradually improving its technically superior hardware, the latest of which is the ��ooper��HD DVR set.
The Federal Communications Commission has allowed DISH to deploy a nationwide wireless network with some restrictive conditions. The company is trying to become a unique bundled service provider of wireless voice and data together with a strong video distribution network.
On the other hand, in Jun 2013, DISH suffered two setbacks with respect to its plan of entering the U.S. wireless market. First, the company decided not to pursue the acquisition of Sprint Nextel Corp. (S).

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Nickey Friedman]
Dollar Tree (NASDAQ: DLTR ) continues to impress each quarter with robust sales, same-store sales growth, and diluted earnings-per-share increases. This dollar chain credits in large part a budget-conscious and cash-strapped consumer filling up its stores looking for bargains. Further growth seems like a no-brainer, but there are two things to watch for that could become speed bumps on its road to further riches.

Where growth will come from
One area that Newell Rubbermaid still has to tap fully is emerging markets. The company has done a good job of expanding overseas, with 17% annual growth in Latin America. But with barely a quarter of its sales coming from outside the U.S. and Canada, the company has a lot further to go. Storage rival Tupperware (NYSE: TUP ) gets fully 60% of its total revenue from emerging markets, and it too has seen impressive gains in South America as well as the Asia-Pacific region. - [By John Udovich]

Today's Dow leader
Today's Dow leader is Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT ) , up 1.2%. This month the company has taken some heat from short-sellers who panned the company because they believe it will suffer from a slowdown in demand in China. Lending credence to that view was Caterpillar's poor earnings report last week, which showed a 43% drop in income. The stock sold off slightly, finishing down 4% for the week -- the worst performance of any Dow component. In what appears to be an effort to appease shareholders, today Caterpillar announced a $1 billion accelerated share-buyback at market prices. The question investors need to ask themselves is whether Caterpillar is buying at an opportune time or simply trying to appease shareholders in the short run. One Fool contributor believes you shouldn't give up on Caterpillar stock just yet.� - [By Ben Levisohn]
Is Caterpillar (CAT) really in the Dow? The beaten down industrial stock has gained 3.1% to $89.95 today, more than one percentage point more than Alcoa (AA), the next biggest winner with a 1.9% gain. The Travelers Companies (TRV) has gained 1.9% to $81.99, and 3M (MMM) has climbed 1.5% to $116.78. The Dow Jones Industrial Average has risen 0.9%.
To put Caterpillar’s gain in perspective, its the stock’s largest jump since May 3, when it rose 3.2%. And with time still remaining today, it could advance even higher.
We’ll chalk the big move up to the better economic news out of China last night, as well as sentiment that the global economy is picking up steam. The Caterpillar is also an industrial stock, and those are pretty popular right now.
I wouldn’t make too much of the move just yet, however. For starters, Caterpillar has been stuck in a range since March, as the following chart shows:
And, as Morgan Stanley reminded investors last week, the market might be expecting too much from Caterpillar. On Sept 5, analyst�Nicole DeBlase and team wrote:
While we agree that Mining destocking activity should cease, we see risk to Construction restocking based on our survey work ��41% of both US and China Construction dealers still think inventory is too high, and plan to reduce throughout the remainder of 2013e. Should Construction activity not pick up materially in early 2014e, we see the potential for this to remain a headwind next year ��but we do still give CAT credit for 5ppts of top-line Construction benefit from restock in 2014e. We are more bearish on Mining CapEx as we do not expect the second derivative of cuts to turn positive until 2016e.
Mogran Stanley initiated the stock as an Equal Weight with an $89 price target.
