Conditions of Growth, Economic Analysis - Research Report on AFLAC Incorporated and Credit Suisse Group AG (ADR)

HONG KONG -- (Marketwire) -- 04/26/12 -- Today, www.EquityLeader.com introduced research coverage of AFLAC Incorporated (NYSE: AFL) and Credit Suisse Group AG (ADR) (NYSE: CS). Full research reports are available to readers at: www.EquityLeader.com/index.php?sm1=AFL&sm2=CS.

Economic fundamentals leading into 2012 have set a generally positive pace with GDP growth likely to pick up through the coming year. However, there are several important caveats to note as the world economy continues to face headwinds and risks weigh to the downside. Positive outlooks are conditional on fiscal policy in payroll taxes and unemployment insurance benefits and upon the easing of the European debt situation. A repeat of volatility experienced in 2011 is likely in 2012, as perceptions about the strength of the U.S. economy and the euro zone will vary over time as events unfold.

Despite the current situation, our team continues to identify high momentum situations with growth potential -- there remains strong opportunity within careful discretion.

CometCloud: Using a Federated HPC-Cloud to Understand Fluid Flow in Microchannels

The ever-growing complexity of scientific and engineering problems continues to pose new computational challenges. Thus, we present a novel federation model that enables end-users with the ability to aggregate heterogeneous resource scale problems. The feasibility of this federation model has been proven, in the context of the UberCloud HPC Experiment, by gathering the most comprehensive information to date on the effects of pillars on microfluid channel flow.
