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...]

Steel Stocks: Strong Potential For Turnarounds

Thu, 04 Jun 2009 15:18:08 GMT

"The steel stocks tend to go through boom and bust cycles depending on global economic activity; they have been pummeled over the last year, as the global economy slowed," notes turnaround expert George Putnam. In his The Turnaround Letter, he explains, "But the news about steel is not all bad." Here, he offers an overview of six steel makers that could be poised for a turnaround. "Weakness in two big steel consuming industries, autos and[More...]

How The Government's Most Destructive Policy Yet Will Affect Your Money

Thu, 04 Jun 2009 14:34:00 GMT

Right now, the so-called Waxman-Markey bill is snaking its way through the greasy halls of Congress. "Waxman-Markey" is the name given to the new "cap and trade" bill designed to limit America's carbon emissions. It looks like it's the most expensive thing to hit the economy since the financial crisis began. Even the normally mild-mannered Wall Street Journal called it "one of the most ambitious efforts to re-engineer American social and economic behavior in decades, presenting risks and opportunities for a wide array of businesses from Silicon Valley to the coal fields of the Appalachians." First off, the stated objective of cutting carbon emissions by 83% by 2050 will go down in history as outrageous – akin to when Who drummer Keith Moon drove his Lincoln Continental into the pool at the Holiday Inn. I[More...]

Commodities Rally; Forecasts Don't

Wed, 03 Jun 2009 21:50:12 GMT

Commodity prices have been soaring. Oil, gold, copper, wheat and corn all recently hit multi-month highs. Even the Duke Brothers are making a mint on orange juice futures. A steady stream of economic data showing a slower pace of deterioration in the U.S. has been the primary driver behind the recent surge. Also playing a role is the combination of a higher tolerance for risk, weekly fluctuations in inventories, the spring planting season, the dollar and sustained growth in China. What's interesting about the rally is that it has yet to translate into higher earnings estimates for commodity-related companies. Agriculture Companies Wheat and corn futures recently set 8-month highs. Other agricultural-related futures have also soared, such as coffee. Profit forecasts for agricultural companies, however, have been trending[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.
