Wednesday's Lessons: The Power of Resistance and Overbought Markets
Bailout in Installments Is Still Nonsense
Option ARMs, Who Thought Up these Time Bombs?
With Option Arms, borrowers were qualified using the artificially low minimum payment that simply inflates their balance each month. With home prices falling, they keep owing more on their homes every month. No amount of modfication will help because lenders will only modify them into regular principal and interest payments and these overstretched borrowers can't afford them. They just have to walk away in most cases.
Amazon: Kindle Estimates Keep Going Up
Merrill: Losing the Expectations Game
Berman's point was that with the huge dilution of MER's stock, it would take a miracle to get a decent EPS for its shareholders.
And please don't accuse Thain of DOWNPLAYING Merrill's prospects. Even a caveman knows that's not true.
Investment Discipline in the Year of Capitulation
ANd, like a previous comment, how can you define a 40% loss as a mark of a good money manager? A monkey could see this bear market coming and any of these above 'gurus' should have protected their investors from this.
Know How Many Kindles Amazon Has Sold? 240,000
Five Stocks to Own Now that the Dow Has Bottomed
This has to be the dumbest article on SA this week.
Why Merrill's CDO Sale Doesn't Mean Big Writeoffs Elsewhere
Remember - those 06 & 07 versions were rated the same as the 05: AAA.
The Russian Stock Market Plunge
Maybe the only markets left to attack would be Canada and the Middle East now that oil, and therefore ALL commodities, going to be sold in pennies. Rush in to the 'stable' financials folks!

Financials: How - And When - We Reached the Bottom
No bottom: Jim Rogers, Soros, John Paulson, Phil Falcone, Jim Chanos
vs.
Bottom: Hank Paulson, our trusted govt., Bill Miller, author Tom Brown
First, we have a list of investors who have had a very long record of being right and succesful and who continue to bet against the financials and sell the rally (see WSJ today). Then we have the Pollyanas like Miller who's actually ranked in bottom 28% of fund managers by Morningstar for his 10yr performance and Tom Brown who's had a mixed record at best with his blunders like First Marblehead and CCRT.
Its a rout for the no-bottom team.
India's Strong Growth Should Continue
FYI: 1 lakh = 100,000 and 1 crore = 100 lakhs = 10million.
Article is obviously a little biased as it ignores significant political inteference in essentials like infrastructure, health care and education that prevent India from achieving its true potential. This has created an unstable business enivornment, especially if the govt collapses in the near future. Plus, you can't compare India to US, EU or Japan to get a proper feel re growth rates.
And India is not a socialist country!! It has tremendous potential but , as everywhere else, there are potholes on its road - literally and figuratively.
