Fannie’s Tax Sale To Goldman – No Deal!

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 21:22:51 GMT

This is an odd ending to this saga. Some very big names were involved. Fannie Mae clearly wanted to do a deal; the regulator for Fannie (FHFA) was strongly supporting it. Goldman Sachs was looking to make a buck putting the transaction together and selling it to Warren Buffett. So why didn’t it happen?[More...]

Bulls Back On Track?

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 16:21:18 GMT

Good morning. With chants of "Dow 10K… Dow 10K" once again rising from the streets at the corner of Broad and Wall yesterday, it is easy to believe that the bulls are back on track and that we'll soon be looking at new highs for the stock market. And when reviewing the data inputs to yesterday's 204 point romp, it is also easy to don the Dow10K hat once again and join in on the celebration.[More...]

Your Kind of Day?

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:06:48 GMT

As a rule, I try not to read too terribly much into a "Fed Day" as there is usually a big batch of volatility that may or may not mean much of anything come the dawn of the next day. Maybe, it's just me. Or maybe there are others that find themselves inclined to simply stand aside and watch the nuttiness from the sidelines on "Fed Days." But in any event, the volatility after a Fed announcement, while fun to watch, may not be telling as to what to expect in the future.[More...]

EU Commission Asks Those Banksters Who Caused Crisis For Solutions, Critics Say

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 18:45:01 GMT

The EU Observer has come up with a very good question: Why are those who caused the financial crisis are now consulted by the EU Commission in order to come up with a solution? I may add the question: Why are the bonus-greedy destroyers of global prosperity are still on their jobs at all? I expect a complete change of elites within the next 3 years as has always been the case after every financial crisis in history. The report, prepared by 160 organisations accuses the undemocratic top echelon of the EU that they were only interested in stabilizing the banking industry and not in an improvement for the whole society.[More...]

Goldman Sachs Next Slaughter Of The Stock Market Lambs

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 16:15:27 GMT

I’m always interested in how Government ties in with the markets. It’s been a bit of a hobby of mine, along with WWII battles, over the past 2-3 years and there’s no bigger tie then Goldman and the Government then recently…and BOY is it bigger then we know! In my recent late night surfing I came across Greg Roy. Greg recently released a special report with the same title of this blog post, Goldman Sachs’ Next Slaughter of the Stock Market Lambs, and being the digger I am, I read the full report and cold called him. I asked if I could repost a part of the report for my Trader’s Blog members. After some convincing he said ok.[More...]

Oracle of Omaha teaching us

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 01:02:00 GMT

Nov. 8--Just when we're struggling to make sense of stock market's daily palpitations, the Oracle of Omaha comes along with a $26.3 billion offer for the shares of Burlington Northern Santa Fe [ticker: BNI] he doesn't already own and provides some insight to defog the befuddled brains of average investors.
