A Tale Of Greece And Cheap Money

Fri, 19 Mar 2010 15:55:03 GMT

The S&P 500 closed a smidgen lower Thursday on speculation the Federal Reserve will increase its discount rate which tempered the potential for gains spurred by further evidence that the economy is strengthening without stoking inflation. Bank of America and Schlumberger paced declines that sent financial and energy companies lower. In contrast Boeing, DuPont and 3M led gains that drove the Dow to an almost 18-month high after reports showed growth in Philadelphia manufacturing, a drop in jobless claims and no change in consumer prices. FedEx surged as its profit more than doubled and Nike rallied on higher-than-estimated earnings[More...]

Portugal Prepares To Sell $1 Billion Of Dollar Denominated Bonds In Goldman-Led Deal

Thu, 18 Mar 2010 18:50:31 GMT

Yet more rape and pillaging of US taxpayers as Portugal now plans to join the long and exalted list of nearly bankrupt countries who wish to join the dollar devaluation bandwagon, and issue debt denominated in dollars. The P in PIIGS is in the same position as the US, needing to plug a massive budget deficit, so it has decided to do what the US does so well - issue bonds with a $ sign on them. Bloomberg reports: "Portugal is selling bonds in dollars for the first time since November as part of a plan to issue 25 percent more debt this year to fund its budget deficit. The nation is marketing $1 billion of five-year bonds that may be priced to yield about 100 basis points more than the benchmark mid-swap rate." And this is merely the beginning: as most European countries are convinced the pain in Spain[More...]

Trading Education: Time To Be Very Selective

Thu, 18 Mar 2010 16:40:36 GMT

By: Scott Redler The S&P 500 tagged 1,170 yesterday and then sold off a bit. My target zone for this market back when "the wedge" resolved to the upside was 1,170-1,190. So, with the overbought nature of this market, the setup must be REALLY good to take. The market still feels like higher prices are in store, but if you are sitting on some big gains, I would recommend going out a few months and selling some calls to protect positions and collect some premium.[More...]

Fri, 19 Mar 2010 17:47:00 GMT

Mar. 19--The return of warmer weather and big incentives were luring car buyers back into auto dealerships during the first half of March and has put the automotive industry's recovery back on track, according to two automotive forecasting firms.
For the first half of March, the seasonally adjusted annual sales rate, or SAAR, reached 12.1 million in the U.S., according to J.D. Power and Associates.
