Adobe Systems (ADBE) closed Tuesday at $32.88. The 52-week low for the shares is $25.45 and the 52-week high is $37.30. That puts the stock roughly in the middle of the range, which isn't here nor there.

I usually like a quote to give me as much information as it can. I can usually tell more about the market's opinion if the price is closer to either the low or the high, and if the range isn't so tight.

The shares of Adobe Systems (ADBE) have moved above $30 resistance, and are pushing toward $35. Hence, now may be a good time to consider taking some profits with ADBE if you're in at/near the January 15, 2009, first-discussed price of $16.92.

Other investors who can tolerate the risk can maintain their full position in ADBE, as push to $40 by ADBE by the end of 2011 would not be a stretch.

Adobe's 2011 revenue will likely rise 8-10%, on decent client receptivity to Creative Suite 5, the new version of the Acrobat, and the purchase of Day Software.

Adobe Systems Inc. (ADBE), which warranted a stand aside view in October, has cleared 'the danger zone,' from a technical standpoint, but risks persist.

Adobe, first discussed on January 15, 2009 at a price of $16.92, should see 2011 revenue rise 8-10%, but much of it is contingent on client receptivity to Creative Suite 5. A smaller portion of the growth projection will be due to new versions of the Acrobat reader, and the acquisition of Day Software.

To be sure, so far sales of Creative Suite 5, or CS5, have outpaced CS4, but the continuance of that trend is dependent on the U.S. economic recovery's durability. In other words, underperformance in U.S. GDP growth for a quarter or two would really weigh on CS5, hence ADBE is now in the high-risk stock category.

earnings expectationsCompanies continue to file quarterly reports late in the season, and a few are poised to spread some early holiday cheer for investors this week. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expect strong earnings results from Nike (NKE), Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY) and Darden Restaurants (DRI), among others. Here's a quick look (for more details, see the DailyFinance Week in Preview).

Analysts forecast Nike's fiscal-second quarter earnings to come in at 88 cents per share, a 13.6% increase from the same period of last year. The world's leading athletic footwear maker also is expected to post revenue of $4.8 billion for the three months that ended in November. That's 9.3% more than the same period a year earlier. Note that Nike's earnings have not fallen short of consensus estimates in the past five quarters.

For the past few days I have been writing about Apple Inc. (AAPL) and what it might do with its growing pile of cash, promoting a dividend rather than any misadventures or allowing the cash to continue to drag down earnings per share.

This is not Apple's plan and many readers agree. They believe Steve Jobs and company know what's best about everything and have done fine by them -- the latter part is certainly true.

Today I put it to our readers to check current sentiment.

When you write about Apple (AAPL), you inevitably hear from some naive person informing you that, "You just don't get it; Apple is different."

There are certainly many things about Apple that are very different, but in the context of the "you just don't get it" crowd, it is absolutely not. The same was said about Google (GOOG) only a short while ago, Xerox (XRX) three decades ago and Winchester -- now part of Olin Corp. (OLN) -- rifles 125 years ago.

Adobe (ADBE)Adobe Systems (ADBE) was not a popular equity in Tuesday's after-hours session. The company closed down well over 15% to $27.76. The fiscal third-quarter report was the catalyst. Well, it wasn't so much the income number as it was the guidance.

According to the Associated Press, adjusted profit of 54 cents per share beat the analyst projection of 49 cents per share. Unfortunately, the next quarterly report could bring a disappointing top line. Management thinks it will do between $950 million and $1 billion in terms of sales; Wall Street wanted a solid $1.03 billion. In addition, Bloomberg says that the company is expecting between 48 cents and 54 cents per share of adjusted earnings for Q4; expectations were for 53 cents per share.

housing sales housing startsHousing steps into the spotlight again this coming week. The release of the National Association of Homebuilders Housing Market Index starts out the week on Monday morning. Then on Tuesday morning, look for housing starts data from August. Release of the July FHFA House Price Index is scheduled for Wednesday. And numbers for existing home sales and for new home sales in August are due out Thursday and Friday, respectively. Overall, the housing market is expected to have continued to lose momentum in August, but less dramatically than in July.

Also on the economic calendar this week: Tuesday's FOMC meeting on interest rates, the Conference Board's Leading Economic Indicators Index for August on Thursday, initial jobless claims for last week, and durable goods orders data for August on Friday. No significant changes from the Fed are anticipated, but the leading economic indicators may rise a bit.

iPhone appsSince Apple Inc. (AAPL) unleashed the iPhone on the world back in 2007 the company has sold millions of the device and created a massive market for iPhone apps. Developers have invested a lot of time and money in creating apps for the popular iPhone, but have been frustrated by the lack of guidelines and communication with Apple.

Developers have been begging for more insight into the approval process, and today Apple gave them what they wanted by releasing the guidelines it uses to review submitted apps.

economic recoveryThe mainstream media is overflowing with hyperventilating bears preaching about a depression. All fear-mongering aside, we see two very positive developments in the U.S. economy: retail and corporate spending.

1. Retail Spending

The International Council of Shopping Centers has announced that retail sales expanded at the highest pace since September 2006. Luxury retailers posted an eye-popping 8% rise in sales. Seems like consumption is our culture. Some people think the U.S. consumer has changed. Personally, I would never bet against the DNA of a tribe ... and ours is shopping. As my brother Derek said, "In the Great Depression we had bread lines. Now, there are Apple (AAPL) iPhone 4 lines." That is a mind-blowing distinction.
