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...]

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...]

GM, Chinese partner join forces in India

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 20:48:00 GMT

BEIJING - General Motors Co. and its main Chinese partner announced a venture Friday to sell vehicles in India, uniting in the two fastest-growing car markets in a deal that reflects GM's reduced status as a global automaker.
As part of the deal, GM gave majority ownership of its main China joint venture to Shanghai Automotive Industries Corp., which is to invest up to $350 million in the India initiative.
GM has struggled for market share in India's fast-growing car market and a company official said bringing in SAIC and its investment meant the Indian venture could develop more quickly.
