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...]

4 Earnings Season Option Strategies For Monday November 9

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 18:31:43 GMT

In my latest three blog posts, I listed some stocks which I would be willing to go long by selling the puts right before the stock reported earnings. Keep in mind these are companies which I believed would have a positive reaction to the earnings, however if the stock moved sideways on the number this strategy would still likely return a gain the following day.[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...]

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

I may add the question: Why are the bonus-greedy destroyers of global prosperity are still on their jobs at all?

Of all the sinister things that Internet viruses do, this might be the worst: They can make you an unsuspecting collector of child pornography.
Pranksters or someone trying to frame you can tap viruses to make it appear that you surf illegal Web sites.
Whatever the motivation, you get child porn on your computer - and might not realize it until police knock at your door.
