Best Buy (BBY) NewsBite - Downgrade Puts Pressure on Best Buy - Zibb.com
Jul 18, 2008 (Fresh Brewed Media via COMTEX) --
Best Buy Co. Inc. (BBY) opened at 40.15. So far today, the stock has hit a low of 38.19 and a high of 40.15. BBY is now trading at 39.03, down 0.35 (-0.87%). The stock hit its 52 week high of 53.90 in December and set its 52 week low of 36.10 in July. BBY has been dropping since the beginning of this year. Best Buy shares have been falling into the red as a RBC Capital Markets analyst downgraded the stock to "Outperform" from "Top Pick." Technical indicators for the stock are bearish and steady while S&P gives BBY a very positive 5 STARS (out of 5) strong buy rating. If you're looking for a hedged play on this stock, consider an August bear-call credit spread above the $45 range. BBY stock could fall up to 15.3% before expiration and this position would still be profitable.

Fiserv, Inc: Fiserv Announces Virgin Media Implementation of CheckFree's Reconciliation & Exception
Brookfield, Wis., Jul 16, 2008 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) --
Fiserv, Inc. (NASDAQ: FISV), a leading provider of information technology services to the financial industry, today announced that Virgin Media has successfully implemented CheckFree's Reconciliation and Exception Management solution to automate the reconciliation of customer revenue related accounts. This implementation followed a full review of legacy systems in place throughout the organization and the subsequent need for a best-of-breed solution for Virgin Media's financial shared services center, located in Bradford, United Kingdom.
By consolidating its legacy reconciliation programs into a single enhanced platform, Virgin Media has streamlined its transaction matching, reporting and performance management processes while improving the efficiency of its operations. By automating its reconciliation system through CheckFree, Virgin Media has reduced the time required to complete the month-end close process. Additional benefits include, the elimination of spreadsheet-based reconciliation tools and other manual elements which has reduced error rates and diminished the need to re-code transactions to ensure comparability in core data.
"Moving to CheckFree's single automated reconciliation platform has provided us with greater visibility into our operations, allowing us to closely monitor the status of our accounts, improve process efficiency, provide support and training where required and reduce the likelihood of operational error," said Beverley Booth, head of Finance and Payroll Services, Virgin Media. "In addition, the solution has improved our core financial processes that go well beyond reconciliation, such as incorporating data from bank service providers as well as overall performance management. CheckFree's consultative partner approach was a key factor in selection as we felt they really understood our business problems and provided a solution that could be configured to address the issues we faced"
With CheckFree's Reconciliation and Exception Management solution, Virgin Media was also able to link bank statement interfaces into its reconciliation system, allowing the team to access and integrate critical information faster. Now, transactions are automatically matched and reconciled based on predetermined business rules. Information technology resources are also utilized more efficiently as the reconciliation system can now be serviced by a single IT support team.
"Our primary objective was to deliver an automated reconciliation solution for Virgin Media's subscriber accounts that would provide significant advantages over previous manual processes and disparate legacy systems," said Mark Cappell, senior vice president and general manager, Operational Risk Management, CheckFree, now part of Fiserv. "The ability to have an accurate and complete view of the cash flow in these accounts allows Virgin Media to simultaneously improve reconciliation operations and better mitigate the risk associated with delays in transaction processing."

Walk Out Working(TM): Best Buy Pledges Immediate Access to Summer Technology - Zibb.com
MINNEAPOLIS, May 01, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
Best Buy wants to help its customers better enjoy their summer with technology, pledging to ensure their summer technology works for them. Best Buy's new, Walk Out Working(TM) program provides Geek Squad set up and personalization on purchases of all new BlackBerry smartphones or any brand of GPS device, ensuring that the technology will be ready to use immediately for summer travel. The program will run from May 4 through July 12.
In addition, Best Buy will encourage its Reward Zone members to escape with technology this summer by offering double points on purchases in select product categories most associated with summer, including:
-- Car electronics
-- Mobile phones
-- Portable gaming
-- Laptops
-- GPS
-- MP3 players
-- Digital cameras and digital camcorders
Reward Zone MasterCard holders have an opportunity to earn triple points when purchasing accessories related to those product categories. Best Buy's Reward Zone program is the largest free customer loyalty program in the country with more than 24 million members. As part of its summer program, Best Buy will put all BlackBerry smart phones on sale until May 24. (1)
"While summer is often thought of as a time to escape from technology, we believe technology can actually help our customers enjoy their summer even more. From GPS units to guide their roadtrip to MP3 players for enjoying music at the beach, only Best Buy can offer consumers the guidance, support and inspiration to easily incorporate technology into any summer experience," said Barry Judge, chief marketing officer, Best Buy.
In addition to Walk Out Working(TM) services and Reward Zone offerings, Best Buy employees from around the country want to ensure customers are getting the most out of their technology this summer. Customers interested more information on how technology can enhance their summer can visit www.bestbuy.com/summerhub. Some summer enhancing tips Best Buy employees include:
-- Backyard BBQ: "Wireless outdoor speakers add a fun dimension to summer outdoor activities, piping clutter-free music into your backyard cookouts, get-togethers and pool parties." - Pat Kerrigan, Boston, Store #530
-- Beach time: "Sun, sand and water are about the worst things electronics can encounter, and unfortunately even the best case can't fully protect all devices. Our top five reasons for returns or replacements are dust, heat, humidity, wear and tear and surge damage. Performance Service and Replacement plans are a great option to protect your electronics - they cover all problems resulting from Mother Nature." - Jesse Miller, Annapolis (Md.), Store #163
-- Sports & activities: "Scene modes are a great feature offered in nearly all digital cameras. Consumers can adjust modes to capture memories from your family picnic in the day to fireworks on the 4th of July." - Tara Tindall, Baltimore, Store #1436
-- Hiking & camping: "In the age of convergence, many people are adding GPS technology into their cell phones so they have an instant map no matter where they are or what they are doing." - Pablo Rodriguez, Chicago, Store #323
-- Road trips: "Consumers should take their GPS unit out of the car when finished using it. First, this will prevent theft, but second, cars have some of the most extreme temperature conditions, especially in summer when it's mounted on a dashboard and has sun beating down on it all day. Removing the unit from your vehicle may extend its use." - Jevon Kinloch, Atlanta, Store #896
-- Destination travel: "Worried about filling up your memory card while on vacation? High-capacity memory cards can be your best friend. They are 4GB in size and can hold up to 3,000 pictures! Just make sure your camera is high-capacity ready." - Jen Scott, Denver, Store #1079
