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...]

Galleon Group to shut down hedge funds

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 04:48:00 GMT

BOSTON - A hedge fund company whose manager is criminally charged in an insider trading case has told clients it's shutting down its funds, after investors pulled out millions in the wake of the allegations.
Portfolio manager Raj Rajaratnam, who is currently free on $100 million bail, wrote to clients and employees that he wants to reassure them the funds are liquid, meaning assets such as stock holdings can be converted to cash for distribution to fund shareholders.
The SEC accuses Goel of repeatedly contacting Rajaratnam with inside information about Intel's financial results in 2007 and a joint venture between wireless network operator Clearwire and Sprint in 2008 - some of which Rajaratnam passed along to "Tipper A." The complaint also alleges that Rajaratnam traded on insider information concerning back-office outsourcing firm PeopleSupport in 2008 on Goel's behalf.
