Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know Newsby 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.

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."Email continues...
Annaly Mortgage (NLY) -- I think this is a business model that needs to borrow money. Definitively do not buy."

Why I'm Not Buying Oil's Recent 'Correction'
So far --- 100% of the articles have been dead wrong. Quite a track record over the past year.
News Flash: Major Market Turns Aren't Announced In Advance
The crap C, LEH, GS have is 10 times worse. Paulson can't rescue them all. No more 30 percent pops because the shorts can't get in anymore.
Another hopelessly hopeful bottom caller that will fade away as the deflation continues. This country was ruined beyond belief and it's still the 2nd inning of this nightmare.
The Oil Bubble Will Meet the Same Fate as Tech, Housing
Why don't you try not using any gasoline for a week?
Ain't no bubble, my friend, because you and I can't live without it.
How High Leverage Has Brought Down the Whole Banking Industry
The Death of Natural Gas
I agree UNG will probably flatten out --around the 200 day MA is about right. Far too demand over the next 30 years for UNG to ever 'die'. Rest for a quarter no doubt. NG will be back. As for the 'oil is bubble' crowd. About the time they start slapping high fives and saying "I told you so" on CNBC -- buy it all.
Solar Shorts Keep On Rising Even As Oil Surprises
Wouldn't FSLR at over 100x earnings be much more of a "bubble" than almost any oil company you can think of? There's very oil stocks that trade at such multiples.
Solar Shorts Keep On Rising Even As Oil Surprises
Unlike tulips, summer homes or internet stocks, demand for oil will be increasing for the next 30 years and very few people or countries could stop buying it even if they wanted to. This oil "bubble" has characteristics that are unlike any other bubble in history.
The ABCs of the Fannie Mae / Freddie Mac Problems
This is probably the best choice. FNM/FRE should definitely trade down to ZERO. No way they will get a dime. Otherwise home market will freeze completely.
Putting $1T Subprime Mortgage Losses in Perspective
Or is this another figment of my imagination, as the Republicans are so quick to point out.
This country was destroyed by Wall Street. Other countries will remember the experiment called free market capitalism and remember -- if you don't have tight government oversight and let the top 1% run everything -- it'll end in utter failure.
LDK Solar: The Brightest Opportunity?
When/if the plant is operational -- and going smoothly... this stock will turn around in a hurry and likely achieve those higher targets of 70 - 95/share. So there's no rush to buy. Shorts can control it down here. Eventually the chart will show that the shorts are losing control and investors can climb aboard for the big move.
Naked shorting will never be enforced by the SEC. The ultra-rich control the U.S. and U.S. markets. Whenever you pit the wealthy few versus the welfare of the many -- the ultra-rich win every time -- it's the American way of life.
Just wait until the shorts decide to pump this long. Then join the ultra-rich in the pump. No other way to win.
Barron's Banks on $100 Oil
I was just visiting New York for a week. Traffic was insane at almost every time of day except 10:30 at night and there were still plenty of cars driving around.
Sorry, but there's no good substitute for the car. Not yet. Not enough to make an impact when the global population is growing fast and sucking up all the extra oil anyway. This world is far too entrenched in oil to impact the reality of Peak Oil. Sure it could go to 100 --- now what do you think traders will do if it dropped that low?
I'd hoard all I could via futures before it went back up to 200/barrel. And so would any other rational investor. Thus -- the chances of a dip of that magnitude occurring, I think, is small.
The Cheesecake Factory: Have Your Cake and Eat It Too
The Great Oil Deception: Part Two
Anyone who thinks drilling in ANWR will provide any kind of relief in oil prices is delusional.
The Great Oil Deception: Part Two
This world relies on oil more than any other natural resources other than perhaps clean water-- which is also running out in many places. The world will either circumvent collapse by harnessing new renewable resources: wind, solar, tide -- or it won't.
I am glad many people still think oil is in a "bubble". If everyone were aware of how close we are to catastrophe, I'm sure oil prices would triple. Unfortunately the U.S. has done almost nothing to promote new technologies --we've been stuck in a ridiculous war where our military burns insane amounts of fuel each day.
The clock is ticking. This article makes me happy since I know the energy stocks I own are still inexpensive.
Is Oil a Bubble? Part 3
These are great ideas but the answer probably lies within automobiles since 90% of the gas we used is for transportation. Wind and solar won't put a big dent in prices.
Push CNG cars, plug ins... and really good battery-powered cars and then gas prices will drop dramatically.
Seeing as how the last time Bush had anything to say about automobiles he was AGAINST raising fuel standards... well, every time I see someone blaming Democrats for balking at drilling -- I just laugh. Look at the value of the dollar / value of oil during his reign.
These will be called the Lost Years for America.
I am optimistic change will come, hopefully before things really get ugly.
