Bailout Bill Passes; What Happens Now?

For the conspiracy theorists out there, I think you will want to forward this video to your friends. For those who ridicule conspiracy theorists you may want to have a look at this. Here's a hint, it has to do with Martial Law and the Bailout package.

Bailout Bill Passes; What Happens Now?

anarchist - what is scary is that Nouriel Roubini is not some out there alarmist wacko - he is a credible economic commentator with a track record of calling things accruately - for him to offer his newsletter for free is an indication of just how serious things have become. What's also of concern is when you hear guys like Dennis Gartman taking delivery of gold - and even saying that he hopes he loses money on it e.g. the alternative is worse.

Here's the Roubini link again - it is a must read

Bailout Bill Passes; What Happens Now?

Here's a link to an article by Nouriel Roubini, Professor of Economics at the Stern School of Business at NYU - To view the full article you will need to register (free). This is a must read in my opinion.

The Die Is Cast

I confess I watch CNBC - there are a few decent commentators still there such as Art Cashin. This is his commentary just before 9am this morning (Fri Oct 3. 08) -- and is worth watching as he describes the three scenarios for today's Bail Out vote -

Perspectives for a Sunday: Market and Sectors

Apart from any efforts from the PPT or residual short covering I am hesitant to even guess what the markets might look like by mid week. I expect that there will be some significant follow through in Asia a few hours from now but beyond that ....

If You Think the Dow Did Well Today, You're Wrong

gabeborenstein states in his comment above:

"...Friday's performance is ... is a measure of the investors approval ..."

"There is a strong posibility that this short covering will turn into a broad based rally"

If You Think the Dow Did Well Today, You're Wrong

"This type of article is best left to the Bespoke Investment Group that syndicates on Seeking Alpha as well."

______________________...

I visited the Bespoke link you referenced and found their chart of global markets Sept 18-19*. For some reason the Bespoke chart excludes the S&P TSX (+8.7%) as well as US indicies. In addition it does not indicate the specific index they are measuring just the country of origin. Perhaps the complete anaylsis is on their subscription site.

For what it's worth here is a selective snapshot of Dow closing values from 1987-1991. The volatility in the weeks following the Oct 19 crash was significant, it took almost four years for the '87 high to be surpassed.

The Great Consumer Crash of 2009

I am aware that SA will re-publish an author’s work with a new title but it would seem that much of what you have published on SA has appeared elsewhere at an earlier time, perhaps even this article. While that does not take away from the quality of the analysis or conclusions, it strikes me as somewhat disingenuous to not disclose prior publication given the political overtones of your contributions.

America's Fiscal Crisis: Tough Decisions Needed Now

The above article seemed very familiar, sure enough it was posted by you in another forum several months ago with a different title. I know SA re-publishes but it would be nice to see a disclosure. (they also should have stuck with your original title )

Ways to Win a Recession-Predicting Contest

You mention Bartiroma and unlike some of her CNBC associates she maintains or at least appears to try and maintain an unbiased position. A great example is in her inteview April 2 with Soros -- The following is a link to the uncut version of that interview and as a side benefit provides Soros' recession prediction.

Wall Street Breakfast - Sample Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News by SA Editor Rachael Granby Bank trio becomes duo. Wells Fargo (WFC) will become the largest U.S. bank by branches with its bid for Wachovia (WB), after Citigroup (C) withdrew from compromise negotiations late yesterday on concerns about the quality of some of Wachovia's assets. Wells Fargo, with a bid valued at $11.4B, expects the purchase to be completed by the end of the year, and denies it will have to absorb assets shakier than originally thought. Government considers next steps. As the financial crisis continues to worsen, the U.S. government is considering two dramatic steps to turn around, or at least slow, the damage: guaranteeing billions of dollars in bank debt and temporarily insuring all U.S. bank deposits. The moves, which would mark the government's most extensive intervention to date, are in discussion stages only. Credit stays frozen. As frozen credit markets refuse to thaw, the cost of default protection on corporate bonds reaches new global records amid investor concerns the credit crisis will trigger corporate failures as companies struggle to finance their businesses. Interbank lending remains limited, and borrowing from the Fed's expanded discount window continued its trend of setting new highs every week, as the total daily average rose to $420.2B vs. $367.8B last week.

Better Choices - Cramer's Lightning Round (10/15/08)

by SA Editor Rachael Granby

Stocks discussed in the lightning round session of Jim Cramers Mad Money TV program,
Wednesday, October 15.

Bullish Calls:

Continental Resources (CLR) -- "This is a remarkable decline. All of the high quality ones are down so much, I can't go against it. This is where you pull the trigger.
3M (MMM) -- The moment this stock starts yielding 5%, I'm a buyer. Until then, keep your powder dry.

Bearish Calls:

Computer Sciences (CSC) -- This is a company that was going to be bought, but they passed up the chance. Now I don't want to buy it."
Annaly Mortgage (NLY) -- I think this is a business model that needs to borrow money. Definitively do not buy."
Northrop Grumman (NOC) -- You can't own the defense stocks right now. If I had to own one, I'd look at Lockheed Martin (LMT) with its good dividend.
