A Breadth of Fresh Air Amidst The Doom & Gloom

Thu, 18 Dec 2008 14:26:00 GMT

A Breadth of Fresh Air Amidst The Doom & Gloom The markets will end the year deep in the red. If today was the official end, the S&P 500 would check-out with a sickly 37.81% loss. How could we possibly make lemonade out of those lemons? Leave it to us master juicers. You see, the recent buying activity, albeit brief, pushed stocks over a key threshold. Technicians refer to it as market breadth - the number of stocks trading above a key metric (like their 52-week highs or their 50 day moving averages). And based on the [More...]

Earnings Season Begins in Earnest

Wed, 15 Oct 2008 00:14:00 GMT

Tuesdays-Thursdays the next few weeks will be the heart of earnings season - we began today. Thus far I cannot make heads or tails of the action. Remember, our thesis we've been promoting all year - 2nd half 2008 estimates are far too high, especially fourth quarter hence guidance is going to have to be cut across many names; analysts are simply behind the ball. Since the dollar has rallied, what used to be safe haven (multinationals) who have been benefiting from a weak dollar, which is hiding pathetic organic growth, are going to see that benefit begin to erase. While CNBC cheered the multinational growth 1-3 quarters ago we were pointing out how much of it had nothing to do with "growth" and everything to do with a weakening US dollar. Now that will reverse. And now with the damage the credit contraction has done to the system we are adding another layer of bad onto what was already going to be poor. The question is how much of this is priced in, and how do the[More...]

Bloomberg: Merrill's Thain. Aides May Get $200M for Year & People Know Something is Wrong but Don't know What

Wed, 17 Sep 2008 14:17:00 GMT

First, let me say running Merrill Lynch is difficult work and a stressful life, I am sure. Second, let me say working in a coal mine for a 10 hour shift sure isn't easy either. Third, I do realize the 2 Goldman Sachs executives Thain recruited gave up lucrative pay packages at Goldman to come to Merrill so you have to understand that when you read these numbers. But in the "heads I win, tails I win" culture of executive payouts these are some staggering numbers nonetheless. Keep in mind Thain has been at Merrill for under a year. And his associates have been well under a year. In fact, Thomas Montag joined Merrill on August 4th. For his 6 weeks of hard work he is looking at a payday of $76 million. Peter Kraus joined Merrill last week and looks to[More...]

Jobless rate spikes, casting doubt on recent recovery

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 01:50:00 GMT

WASHINGTON _ The nation's unemployment rate jumped to an unexpected 10.2 percent in October, throwing 190,000 more Americans out of work, raising questions about whether the budding economic recovery will endure, and confronting President Barack Obama with a politically explosive new challenge.
And many economists predicted it would go higher still in coming months.
Some 15.7 million workers now have no jobs, the government said in releasing its monthly unemployment report, and an estimated 5 million more are working fewer hours and drawing smaller pay checks than they were before the country fell into the worst recession in a generation.
