Notable Bankruptcies Of 2009: Q2

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 16:29:00 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. According to Bankruptcydata.com, there have been 156 “major” filings thus far in 2009. Assuming that bankruptcies are equally distributed throughout the year, this puts us on pace for 312 bankruptcies. That is tracking well shy of my prediction. In fact, bankruptcies were down significantly from Q1 to Q2, as there were 90 bankruptcies in the first quarter but only 66 in the second. That stylized fact begs the question: Is that a “green shoot”[More...]

Notable Bankruptcies Of 2009: Q1

Wed, 01 Apr 2009 20:19:00 GMT

In January I predicted (see Notable Bankruptcies of 2008) 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. According to Bankruptcydata.com, there have been 90 “major” filings thus far in 2009. Assuming that bankruptcies are equally distributed throughout the year, this puts us on pace for 360 bankruptcies. I fully expect the filing pace to quicken as the year goes on, and as the economy continues to deteriorate. Below you can find an updated list of what I see as the “noteworthy” bankruptcies of 2009, as reported by [More...]

9 Stocks I’m Investigating As Potential Short Sales

Thu, 04 Sep 2008 15:23:00 GMT

This post went out to TIMalert subscribers late last night and I’m short one of the stocks and up 3% so far….can you guess which one?Some decent potential plays today, but I’ve got a big TV appearance at 2pm in CT so I’ll be out for the day after 10:30am….suxxxxxx, but it can’t be helped.COIN/COINW I was early on with my TIMalert to short (detailed post coming)…was right for 25 cents/share of downside, but it surprisingly rebounded after it went negative on the day…probly cuz it wasn’t an afternoon fade, ‘twas still morning, shorts like me got squeezed…$150ish loss won’t keep me up at night—FYI my biggest gains ALWAYS came after my biggest losses cuz I used to always be early in my shorts….controlling losses—buying to cover before the market close so as not to risk morning squeeze today—that’s[More...]

The Florida Times-Union, Jacksonville, Mark Basch Column: FIRST COAST TICKER: Some Analysts Question BAE's Purchase of Armor Holdings

Mon, 07 Sep 2009 17:47:00 GMT

Sep. 7--Former shareholders of Armor Holdings Inc. should be feeling pretty good about their decision to sell the company two years ago to BAE Systems PLC, because the outlook for the former Armor operations doesn't look so strong right now.
Armor was a Jacksonville-based company that began as a bullet-proof vest manufacturer.
But in late August, BAE lost a follow-up contract from the U.S. Department of Defense to continue building its Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles, which are produced by a former Armor operation in Texas.
