Occupy Wall Street Ads Hit TV This Weekend. Occupy Wall Street could be occupying your television this weekend.

Supporters chipped in more than $6,000 to a crowdfunding campaign that will put a video of protesters explaining their objectives in the commercial lineup of cable television channels. "It's sort of an occupied version of advertising," crowdfunding site Loudsauce's co-founder Colin Mutchler says. "It's about occupying ad space with what citizens think is important for the country.

" The video was produced free by David Sauvage, who uploaded it to YouTube October 12. The Loudsauce campaign to put it on television started the same day. Loudsauce works much like Kickstarter, but it crowdfunds media space purchases rather than projects. "The perception of how expensive television ads are is that it's prohibitive to get on television even once, that it is not within reach of individuals or groups," Mutchler says. Sauvage's Occupy Wall Street commercial is an example of how this perception isn't always true.

Analysts also point to the upcoming Chinese New Year holiday in February -- a season of high spending in the world's third largest economy -- as an indicator of robust end demand. But some investors worry about a potential, short-lived correction in semiconductor counters. Shares in Intel, which gained more than 8 percent over the holiday quarter, have risen 30 percent over the past six months, bolstered by increased consumer spending in the absence of corporate demand.
