Firms Accelerate Refinancings

Fri, 26 Jun 2009 12:36:17 GMT

Sometimes it pays to ignore the blizzard of economic numbers that the government spews out and just pay attention to what business has to say about how business is going. On that score in the last few days we’ve had Warren Buffett, GE and FedEx all saying they don’t see any stinkin green shoots. If you (...) [More...]

Silver: Nice Setup, Ted Butler

Sun, 19 Apr 2009 16:39:54 GMT

By Ted Butler A number of different factors have converged, creating what could be a lift-off point for the price of silver (and gold). This confluence of readily verifiable factors shows the silver market to be in a low risk and high reward situation. The factors involve both the paper and physical silver markets. The only question, as always, is if the manipulators, led by JPMorgan and protected by the CFTC, can thwart the set up once prices rally. The structure in the paper markets, as defined by the CFTC’s latest Commitment of Traders (COT) and Bank Participation Reports, as well as the year-end OTC Derivatives Report by The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, are extremely bullish on any objective historical basis. This means that the commercials, as a whole, have a greatly reduced total net short silver position after the recent engineered sharp sell-off. Normally, when the commercials have forcibly liquidated as many[More...]

A Nice Set Up

By: Theodore Butler -- Posted 14 April, 2009 A number of different factors have converged, creating what could be a lift-off point for the price of silver (and gold).

Wells Fargo News Pushes The Bears Back On Their Heels

Thu, 09 Apr 2009 15:59:20 GMT

The market is sharply higher in early trading, after finishing on a strong note last yesterday. Before the open, Wells Fargo (WFC) announced its earnings would be double consensus estimates. They said the Wachovia business they acquired is doing well, and also said that net charg-offs for Q1 would be $3.3 billion, down nicely from last quarter's $6.1 billion incurred. This news throws a wrench in the bears' argument that banks would announce terrible earnings, and lead a new leg down in the market. The bank index is surging +11.3% right now, and will likely continue as more bears cover their shorts, and if more companies in the[More...]

Verizon (NYSE: VZ) Loves the Senate

Tue, 27 Jan 2009 23:02:00 GMT

Verizon (NYSE: VZ) Loves the Senate Yesterday, the Senate voted to push back the cut-off date for digital television until June. Unfortunately, the delay won’t leave some consumers in the dark. Television stations will have the option to delay the conversion, or proceed as planned on Feb. 17 – meaning they can shut down their antenna as soon as they want. Either way, the result will be that same eventually. And it’s a positive one for digital television outlets. In fact, we were discussing the impact of the digital television conversion just last week. [More...]

Digital TV a Boon to Satellite and Cable

Tue, 20 Jan 2009 18:13:00 GMT

Digital TV a Boon to Satellite and Cable Unless the Obama administration changes something between now and February 17th, all televisions that don’t receive their TV signal digitally will cease working. If you’ve got rabbit ears on your set, you probably don’t get digital TV. The conversion was a post-911 improvement where the frequencies now used by television will be given to emergency responders and law enforcement. Unfortunately, that also means that millions of Americans that still depend upon “terrestrial” television will need to find a new way to get digital TV signals. The government’s solution has been to issue vouchers for set-top[More...]
