Forget Yesterday, It's All About Jobs

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 13:21:30 GMT

Good morning. Stocks tanked in the last half-hour on Thursday and while the major news outlets attributed the decline to either profit taking or some trepidation in front of this morning's big Jobs report, we'd like to offer a little more substantial reason for the 85 point dive on an otherwise subdued day of trading.[More...]

Fed Balance Sheet Declines By $15 Billion After Improbable Reduction In MBS, Excess Reserves, Monetary Base Hit Record

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 04:14:41 GMT

The Federal Reserve's balance sheet declined by $15 billion to $2,183 billion from the prior week, after the Fed presumably offloaded $2.7 billion in MBS: this is the first time since QE started that MBS holdings have declined.

Interesting Stat: How Much Private Sector GDP Is From Construction And Real Estate?

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 13:15:56 GMT

Back in June, we discussed commercial real estate at length following attendance at a large real estate conference in NYC. Our tone was cautious and one question we wondered about was the percentage of GDP that real estate represents. We actually came across the answer back in August and meant to share then, but didn't get to it. Since the question/topic remains highly relevant to considering the potential negative economic drag from depressed real estate activity, we're sharing now -- the following table is from an 8/28/09 NYTs article, "Construction That Fueled Growth in the Sun Belt Slows":[More...]

Thermal technology puts con on hot seat

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 05:48:00 GMT

Dec. 1--Like the Beatles, Suffolk District Attorney Daniel Conley and Boston police have discovered that happiness is a warm gun.
That's because a Dorchester man has become the first defendant convicted of pistol possession by a Massachusetts jury based on thermal imaging evidence.
Giving new meaning to the catchphrase "packing heat," investigators used the technology to successfully link the warmth from 25-year-old Jose Rodrigues' hand to a loaded 9mm Smith & Wesson handgun they found in a snowbank in Dorchester on Jan. 12 as they were chasing him.
