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...]

Every Upturn Starts With Restocking

Thu, 23 Jul 2009 19:33:44 GMT

As I survey the destruction that this downturn has wrought, I continue to wonder about the timing and shape of any upturn. I know many of our readers will say, get real! It's already under way, while many others would vociferously argue that we are merely seeing a dead cat bounce (Wall Street lingo for even a drowning man can bob his head above the water a couple of times before going to Davie Jones locker), with the truly cataclysmic impacts of our over-indebtedness and failed policies yet to come. Earlier this week the Conference Board's leading economic indicators (LEI) were reported. The index rose 0.7 percent, vs. economists' expectations of 0.4 percent. Economist Josh Shapiro at research house MFR Inc. put it well when he was quoted on [More...]

Early Week Earnings Watch

Mon, 20 Jul 2009 14:10:12 GMT

2nd of the 3 big weeks for S&P 500 type companies arrives; last week was an unqualified success of setting expectations low, cutting expenses aggressively and beating very slow to adjust analysts expectations. Now with the bar raised higher as expectations ramped up, I expect the sledding to be a bit tougher. Here are names of interest in the early part of the week; with names the market will be watching and some additional ones that I like to look at. Tuesday will be the more interesting day. I forgot about earnings knee jerk reaction time, when I shorted American Express (AXP) and Capital One (COF) late Friday; both report Thursday so despite extreme overvaluations and gaps in each chart I'll be heading to the sidelines before then on the 2 positions.[More...]

US Steel, AK Steel post weaker 3Q results

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 22:50:00 GMT

PITTSBURGH - Two American steelmakers posted sharply lower third-quarter results Tuesday, as demand for the metal used in manufacturing and construction remained muted amid the global economic downturn.
But orders improved from historically low levels earlier in the year, helped by rising demand from the auto industry.
Although U.S. Steel expects better results in the fourth quarter, it also said it plans to idle two blast furnaces - one at its Gary Works in Indiana and one at its Granite City Works in Illinois - to adjust for weaker demand.
