Notable Bankruptcies Of 2009: Q3

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 13:01:00 GMT

In January I predicted (see Notable Bankruptcies of 2009: Q1) that “major” bankruptcies in 2009 would challenge the 383 mark set in 2001 (the high-water mark after the dotcom bubble). I even suggested that it was possible that we could exceed 400 “major” bankruptcies in 2009.[More...]

November 5, 2008: Clean Up When Funds Clear Out

Wed, 05 Nov 2008 21:50:00 GMT

Money managers clean up portfolio holdings before the end of their tax year. Over 48%of US mutual funds close their books between late October and December. Managers sell stocks with large losses to avoid reporting them on their year-end report to shareholders. This causes downward pressure on stocks trading within their portfolio(s)that are at or near 52-week lows. Once the selling subsides, these stocks have historically experienced a price reversal. That said, investors should exercise due diligence before buying any of the companies listed below by analyzing any potential shift in a company's fundamentals and other factors such as sector weight and risk tolerance. Here are the screen parameters used to select the following "sells" from funds: Large-cap and mid-cap stocks trading at or below 30% of their 52-week high and have not bounced above 15% from their 52-week low,and have above-average valuation on both an absolute and[More...]

Financial Reality: A few thoughts on LEH, MER and BAC

Mon, 15 Sep 2008 09:39:00 GMT

So, B of A is buying Merrill. Lehman is toast. AIG, waiting in the wings? Today, there is only one word that matters - liquidity. Without this creator of option value, of the ability to ride out the storm, not even the largest institutions are immune to being dragged down in the tectonic flight to quality. So, just a few thoughts on this historic evening: 1. B of A is making a huge mistake. Merrill looks good, looks cheap. After all, its stock was more than 3x the acquisition price of $29 per share a mere 18 months ago. But how much of the less transparent, hard-to-price risk has Merrill really offloaded? The[More...]

IFC Points to Unfair Competition in Jordan's Finance Leasing Market

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 14:46:00 GMT

Oct. 22--AMMAN -- The International Finance Corporation (IFC) urged the government to open a dialogue between players in the finance leasing market to boost fair competition in the sector.
"A level-playing field between leasing and other forms of credit need to exist as both are similar instruments for financing the purchase of assets," said an IFC study on the challenges and opportunities for the leasing market in Jordan.
The IFC also points to another deficiency in the proposed tax legislation as it subjects leasing to unequal treatment relative to bank loans although both are financial transactions.
