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...]

Who might replace Ken Lewis? The list keeps growing

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 21:06:00 GMT

Nov. 3--Is Bank of America actually vetting outside candidates to be chief executive, or it just trying to create the appearance of doing so?
In a regulatory filing, Finger Interests Ltd. urged the bank's board not to appoint Brian Moynihan or Greg Curl, two current executives at the bank who have been seen as frontrunners for the CEO's job, which Ken Lewis will give up at the end of the year.
Without giving details, Finger Interests said it has confirmed that the board has "not even contacted or made serious inquiries much less offers to the most qualified and obvious candidates," such as Al de Molina or Jim Hance.
