Alcoa's earnings disappoint
David Parkinson
U.S. aluminum giant Alcoa Inc. kicked off the fourth-quarter earnings-reporting season with a negative note, announcing quarterly results that fell short of market expectations.
Shortly after the closing bell, the Pittsburgh-based company reported a fourth-quarter profit from continuing operations, excluding one-time restructuring and other charges, of 1 cent (U.S.) a share. Analysts surveyed by both Bloomberg and Thomson Reuters had a consensus estimate of 6 cents a share.
Including the charges, the company lost 27 cents a share in the quarter.

Markus Kaiser, der Manager des ETF-Dachfonds von Veritas, hat 6,5 Prozent des Vermögens in börsennotierte Indexfonds angelegt, die die Preisentwicklung von Rohstoffen wiedergeben. Im vergangenen Jahr war dies eine gute Entscheidung. Die Rohstoffpreise stiegen so stark wie schon lange nicht mehr. Wichtiger noch: Ein Ende dieser Entwicklung ist noch nicht in Sicht. Für Eisenerz prognostizieren Experten Preisaufschläge um bis zu 30 Prozent. Auch für die Industriemetalle Zink, Nickel, Kupfer und Aluminium werden höhere Preise erwartet. Und was ist mit Gold? Gut möglich, dass auch das gelbe Edelmetall - trotz eines möglicherweise wieder erstarkenden US-Dollar - 2010 neue Rekordmarken erreichen wird. Vor allem, weil Gold als Inflationsschutz gilt und die Angst vor der Geldentwertung groß ist. Nicht nur bei Privatanlegern. Auch die Notenbanken Indiens und Russlands erhöhen zur Währungsstabilisierung sukzessive ihre Goldreserven.
