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...]

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...]

Loan problems remain a drag on area banks

Sun, 21 Mar 2010 13:45:00 GMT

Mar. 21--Last year was a rough one for area banks -- and it's not clear when things will get better.
More than 7 percent of the $1.01 billion in loans held by the 10 banks based in the area were at least three months delinquent by the end of last year, surpassing the 6.7 percent level of delinquent loans reached at the peak of the local real estate industry collapse during the late 1980s, FDIC reports show.
"Last year was by far the worst year for the banking industry in the last 20 years and the jury is out for this year because we haven't reached the bottom yet in real estate values," said Larry Martin, a Denver-based banking industry consultant who works with several area banks.
