U.S. stock futures drifted a little lower (later a little higher) Thursday morning following Wednesday's Federal Reserve's statement that it was keeping rates at record low levels. However, earnings from tech giant Cisco accompanied by an upbeat outlook could give a boost to tech. Also this morning, investors will watch as retail chain-stores report October sales.

[Update: Futures now point to a higher open following retail sales data, earnings and lower claims numbers.]

On Wednesday, Wall Street ended mixed and relatively flat after the Federal Reserve decided to keep rates steady. While conceding the economy has picked up, policymakers said this was not enough to hike interest rates, saying an increase will instead depend on when the labor market and inflation pickup. Given that there have been no inflationary pressures and that unemployment is expected to rise, the dollar weakened yesterday and short-term Treasury yields fell. The Fed also cautioned consumer spending would remain strained. Of course, the market would have liked to see a stronger show of confidence.

cisco first quarter earningsFollowing today's market close, technology giant Cisco Systems (NASDAQ: CSCO) had its chance to impress Wall Street with its fiscal first quarter results, and the company did not disappoint.

Going into this afternoon's earnings report, analysts had been expecting to see the company show earnings of 31 cents per share, but the company surprised to the upside by posting actual earnings of 36 cents per share for its fiscal first quarter. For the same period last year the company had earnings of 42 cents per share.

Equity markets ended the third quarter with their biggest losses in four months, and we're now staring down the closing months of 2009. Half the quarter, of course, is dominated by holiday sales, which ups the stakes at the finish line and sets the tone for the bulk of 2010.

Even though company performances have been fairly strong through this reporting season, it's tough to shake the nerves associated with depressed consumer spending and high unemployment.

Neither company is saying a thing yet, but word is Cisco Systems (NASDAQ: CSCO) and EMC (NYSE: EMC) are joining up to sell a new collection of products designed to deliver cloud computing capabilities, Reuters reports. Called vBlock, the cloud solution is intended to help the companies compete more effectively with IBM (NYSE: IBM) and Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ).

The partnership, which no one is admitting to, involves a joint venture between Cisco and EMC that will sell vBlock. The former will supply the networking equipment and servers, with the latter kicking in the storage gear and virtualization technology through its VMWare (NYSE: VMW) subsidiary. The joint venture will put the systems together, integrate the components for clients, and make the whole pile of cables and silicon work. A formal announcement is expected next week.

It was perfect timing: Back in 2004, ScanSafe was founded to provide Web security using the SaaS model (that is, using the Net as the platform to deliver the technology). Since then, the company has grown at a rapid clip.

In fact, today Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) agreed to buy ScanSafe for a $183 million.

"Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL) has fattened itself up by swallowing more than 50 companies in the past five years," says Richard Moroney.

In Dow Theory Forecasts, he suggests, "Oracle has proved itself capable of delivering predictable earnings even during tough times by squeezing higher returns out of its assets, including those inherited via $35 billion worth of acquisitions over the past half-decade."

"While some fear the software giant is choking on its latest meal (Sun Microsystems), the deal makes sense operationally.

While the tech sector has held up fairly well during the economic downturn, the dealmaking has lagged. But lately, there has been an uptick activity, such as from companies like Dell (NASDAQ: DELL) and Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO).

Well, according to Reuters, it also looks like Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) is setting its sights on mergers and acquisitions (M&A).

The Street.com's Jim Cramer says that reasonable people who believe the market is a reasonable place to make money are getting back in.

People are getting back to even. In the last 72 hours I have spoken to about 500 investors -- or at least 500 book buyers! -- many of whom have told me they recently either got back to even, having dodged the big decline or gotten in near the bottom, or are actually up nicely because they saw the opportunity in March and rode it back up.

I always figure when you meet people it is strictly anecdotal. But when you meet 500 of them it crosses over into empirical. Here's what I saw of this particular cross-section.

Lately, it's been hard to keep track of the dealmaking at Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO). But with a huge pile of cash and a need to find growth, the company is going back to its M&A roots -- in a big way.

The latest deal came Tuesday; that is, Cisco agreed to pay $2.9 billion for Starent Networks (NASDAQ: STAR), which develops infrastructure solutions to deliver multimedia on mobile devices. Keep in mind that a couple weeks ago Cisco purchased for $3 billion another multimedia operator, Tandberg (videoconferencing). And back in March, there was the $590 million deal for Pure Digital (which develops flip video cameras).

new 52 week highsThe markets had a relatively flat day to start the week, but there were some big name stocks that traded up to new 52 week highs in today's session. The DOW was up 0.2%, NASDAQ was down 0.01%, while the S&P saw the most change, closing up 0.4%.

TheStreet.com's Jim Cramer says you take your life into your own hands if you fade the opening in today's market.

A year ago with the futures up, all you could think of is how much you wanted to "fade" that opening, how great it would be just to lay out any shorts into strength. You could choose pretty much anything going into earnings season.

The techs? Last good quarter. The banks? A travesty. You didn't even know if the banks you are short would survive. The oils? Free fall. The metals? Amazing downward pressure coming from hedge fund redemptions. The insurers? Will they make it? Retail? The balance sheets looked terrible going into what would be a terrible holiday selling season. The autos and auto-related? Disaster.

U.S. stock futures declined Thursday, ready to kick off the fourth quarter on a lower note ahead of a barrage of economic data as well as continued mergers-and-acquisitions activity. Meanwhile, as the IMF raised its projections, investors also waited to hear a testimony by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke.

The global economy is recovering faster than expected, the International Monetary Fund said Thursday. According to the twice-yearly World Economic Outlook published Thursday, the world is poised to grow by 3.1 percent in 2010, up from the previous estimate of 2.5 percent. But the IMF cautioned governments should be careful to not withdraw their stimulus measures prematurely.

TheStreet.com's Jim Cramer says managers are being judged on their exposure to this rally.

Did Abbott Laboratories (NYSE: ABT) (Cramer's Take) scare the shorts? Or was it so easy to get people to buy winners and sell losers at the end of the quarter that the market had to go higher? What makes a thin market levitate rather than decline?

I got to thinking about this and the incredibly bullish comments by one of my favorite strategists, Byron Wien -- comments that are even more bullish than usual for him -- and concluded that the single best thing that the bulls have going for them is that the market is up big and you look like a real knucklehead if you aren't invested or haven't made any money on the long side going into the fourth quarter.

Back in October 2007, Silver Lake and TPG took Avaya private in an $8.2 billion deal. While the transaction involved a good amount of debt, it looks like the company has firepower. That is, Avaya has agreed to pay $900 million for Nortel Network's Enterprise division (the transaction will also involve $15 million in employee retention payments).

The transaction was the result of an auction, which appears to have had some juice. Keep in mind that Avaya's original bid was for $475 million.

Today would have been an exciting day with positive and mixed economic data, a big draw in oil inventories, and the FOMC minutes coming out. But the trading volume is drying up as the A-Team traders are throwing in the towel and not coming back to work until next Tuesday. This was one of those days where there was no feel for an up or down day literally until right at the closing bell.

Here were today's unofficial closing bell levels:

Dow 9,277.27 -33.33 (-0.36%)
