American Jobs Disappear While The Stock Market Is Surging

Wall Street and Main Streets gap has never been wider. Yet investors are enjoying a vibrant market while the unemployed are enjoying long lines at their local unemployment office. To them the recession hits home and it hits home hard.[More...]

Earnings Season: How To Prepare For Price Swings & React Accordingly

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 19:50:00 GMT

Wednesday, April 8, 2009 by Martin Denholm, Managing Editor, Smart Profits Report Tuesday afternoon’s closing bell on Wall Street didn’t just signal the end of the trading day. It also rang in the start of first-quarter earnings season. Alcoa (NYSE: AA) had the ominous and unenviable task of being the first of the Dow Industrials to step up to the plate. And like a tubby first baseman who’s spent the winter off-season shoveling down junk food, Alcoa swung and missed. Badly. Already waddling around with debts of more than $10.5 billion, America’s largest aluminum producer reported further loss of half a billion dollars for the quarter (59 cents per share), as sales plunged by[More...]

NYT: AIG - Propping Up A House of Cards

Sun, 01 Mar 2009 18:40:00 GMT

Joe Nocera is one of the best business writers out there - a long time writer at Fortune he moved over to the New York Times a few years ago; he writes about 1 article a week but they are excellent, informative reads. Below is a background on what happened to the clusterstock that is AIG in layman's terms - and why we are not near done bailing it out. And essentially how the "financial innovation" of one branch of the business is killing the entire body. Please feel free to print it for your neighbor's who can't be bothered with all this "sophisticated money stuff". Or read it to your children at bedtime - after all it's their paychecks that will be siphoned off for the next 40+ years. It's a grand story of wizards and magic (you'll see) It also reinforces the thesis that all we are doing by bailing out "AIG" is funneling US taxpayer dollars directly into the banks of Western civilization.

Recession-Resistant Restaurant Stocks

Tue, 10 Feb 2009 16:46:00 GMT

The engine of the great American Economy is, and always will be, the consumer. You and your neighbors and all of your buying power will determine how well the market performs. Right now, it seems as though everyone is hurting — so it’s the right time to capitalize on the pain with solid small-cap plays. It all begins with the struggling consumer: your neighbor. His home is worth 20% less than it was just a couple of years ago and he’s upside down on his mortgage. He was laid off from a good job back in November when everyone started to fear the worst—and was forced to take a job that pays much less. During better times, your neighbor would pay lip service to the idea of saving money — without actually following through, of course… But the situation has now become far more serious. It’s time to save some dough and pay those bills on time… or risk losing it all. But where to cut back? Here is a list of the average[More...]

Why Investors Should Be Cautious But Not Terrified

Fri, 02 Jan 2009 18:59:00 GMT

Not to really dampen your new year so quickly, but CNN Business just touched on a disturbing possibility. It might be yet another of those doomsday predictions that the media love so much, but it’s a potential problem to be aware of all the same. Quote: “…industry experts (are) warning that disastrous holiday sales will spark a domino effect of store closures and bankruptcy filings.” End quote. And if that happens, obviously many more jobs will be lost, unemployment will rise and the end of the world will officially commence. OK, not the last one; I just got carried away in the spirit of things. Old Story. Slightly Less-Used Spin. While the article had some nasty figures - 14,000 stores closing in 2009; 3,100 by June - overall, it didn’t have anything new to say. We’ve already have been told repeatedly over the last two weeks that the economy will get worse before it gets better. And there’s a lot[More...]

Gold Rush At Swiss Refineries

Wed, 17 Dec 2008 17:02:00 GMT

Nervy investors spur rush at Swiss gold refiners By Arnd Wiegmann and Lisa Jucca http://www.reuters.com/article/marketsNews/idUSLI46181820081217?sp=true MENDRISIO/ZURICH, Switzerland, Dec 17 (Reuters) - Sealed off by grey concrete walls and barbed wire, the workmen in protective glasses and steel-toed boots at this smelter cannot work fast enough to meet demand from the nervous rich for gold. This refinery near Lake Lugano in the Alps is running day and night as people worried about recession rush to switch their assets into something that may hold its value. “I have been in the gold business for 30 years and I have never experienced anything like this,” said Bernhard Schnellmann, director for precious metal services at the[More...]

Fannie, Freddie Considering Waiving Appraisals for Refinancings

Thu, 11 Dec 2008 16:16:00 GMT

I used to use words like "unbelievable" as I read proposal after proposal brought forward in late 2007 and 2008 to save us, but nothing in this hoax of a market is anymore. I wrote that 2009 will bring us "innovations" and "interventions" like nothing before (with Fannie and Freddie as the centerpiece of the toolbox) so I guess I should not be surprised by this proposal. That said, my jaw hit the floor when I read it. I hit refresh a few times - checked the calendar (nope, not April 1st) - certainly this must be a hoax. So get ready for this; no matter what your home appraises for - if it falls 10%, 20%, or 30% below purchase price, and you are underwater - you can STILL refinance under the latest proposal being floated at the full original[More...]

Tribune's Descent Sends New Shock Waves

Mon, 08 Dec 2008 13:43:00 GMT

Has it less than a single year? One year since Sam Zell took over the Tribune Company as its management, like Knight Ridder's two years earlier, simply ran out of juice and said, "hey you try it, we've run out of ideas and energy?" In one quick year -- who's doing the photo slideshow online? -- we've seen what happens when the barbarians do enter and start to rule within a formerly genteel kingdom. If it were any other industry, we might see it more as entertaining, but when it comes to the news industry, it's been jaw-droppingly sad. As the Tribune prepares for the possibility of a bankruptcy filing this week -- and, if not now then probably later -- we can see the shock waves radiating out from the news: Yes, Sam Zell's words and actions have been outrageous, sometimes outrageously[More...]
