| This contest is fueled by the following news: |
| | The world's largest shoemaker, Nike Inc, announced that its earnings will outpace Wall Street estimates for the last quarter. The positive development is the result of solid performance by Nike in the United States and in Asia. The company is based in Beaverton, Oregon, and expects earnings on its shares to clock in at between 71 and 74 cents per share. This significantly is above the original estimate of 64 cents per share. The demand for the company's products in both the United States and Asia fueled the good financial news at Nike as did the strong euro.
