  • Analysts Don't Know Squat
    Most. if not all of the so called experts just say what come their mind based what they heard from others at that time. It is just a joke and as the previous commenter notes makes money for them. Anyone who follows any of these folks and invests based their pronouncements is asking for trouble.

  • The Correlation Between Crude Oil and the U.S. Dollar
    It is a strech to say there is any correlation between SPY and USO based on this chart. The same statement can also be made about UUP and USO except in some brief periods.

  • Five Ways to Profit from a Rebound in Commodities
    Authors should specify the stock prices they use when discuss specific securities with PE, Div Yield and other metrics. My experience with this blog is the information on metrics is outdated.

  • Five Ways to Profit from a Rebound in Commodities
    Following up on my earlier comment on stock price: YZC has a dividend yield of ZERO and its PE is 8.57 at its closing price of 7.71 today according to Marketwatch Quote summary I just looked up. To me the author could not have used current data in his post. Where di the numbers come from?

  • The Truth About Bailouts
    Peter:
    It is great that you and a few others have been bold to call a spade a spade and prescribe the irght medicne(s) for what ails the USA. Unfortunately, it has been falling in deaf ears all along and it will cotinue to do so. In my opinion the only way to get these matters attended is to raise youth awareness to this issue and have them demand a solution usinf te 60's like movements/protests and the like. Two examples of success using this method to address a national issue are the how the vietnam war was ended and how OBAMA campaign won the election. I wish we could generate enthusiasm among today's youth for such a movement!
    My idea would be to launch a nationwide campaign by folks like you and me to go and talk to grade school and high students every day at every school in our country. In a couple of years we will have that generation all excited about what their parents and grand parents have done their lives and demand action

  • The Top 5 Looming Financial Issues
    I believe that if 1) we address the energy issue soon and commit ovurselves to a national goal of energy independence, and 2) reduce our preference for all things imported from other countries, others will be largely addressed. Boone Picken's proposal offers a good starting point for a national conversation and decision making. So, I say, let us get behind that one and get our Presidential candidates to commit to addressing this energy issue based on a "NO Option Left Out" approach. Then we can launch a national campign to reduce our imports. Perhaps in twenty years we would have the major issues licked and leave our future generations something to work with.

  • Dick Kovacevich on Banks and This Financial Crisis
    Yes, I agree it is refreshing to hear a bank exec own up to his industry's culpability in sending the world down this big rat hole. Hope they all learn their lessons and get this fixed soon to avoid the calamity from getting worse for the lay people.

  • Relative Valuation Metrics May Point to Big Gains Ahead
    Cheap now can get dearer as the earnings for the 4th qtr rolls in and the downward revisions come in. Make no sense to look at these metrics using past earnings and dividends which are all due for moves in adverse directions.

  • The January Effect Explained
    What the tables really convey is that for all indices, any week or month has just much of a chance being up as any other week or month.

  • Is the Obama Plan Creating Unfounded Market Optimism?
    I am not even sure Obama and Fed can do the 1T$ stimulus, since that money has to raised in the market, i.e., from the major buyers like the foreign central banks and Sovereign Wealth funds. But they are/should be running away from the US Govt Debt

  • Time to Start Nibbling on Corning
    This article could be strengthened with a discussion of expectations for revenue, earnings and and margins in the three businesses cited. The qualitative discussion does not provide any objective support for the contention that GLW is undervalued and could be bought here. Further the article itself lays out the case for margin compression.

  • What's the Intrinsic Value of Verizon?
    Hi:
    I think a more appropriate terminal growth rate given the expected recession length would be 0. Under that scenariao the intrinsic value would be more like $30, the current price of the stock give or take a dollar or two. I expect wireless revenue to be flat to sligh negative and the revenue growht in FIOS will be muted quite a bit for the next two if not three years.

  • The Dow Adds Kraft
    Don't understand your WFC suggestion. The DJI already has BAC, C, JPM without counting AXP and GE (Half financial). That is 10% of the 30 stocks in the DJI. Need more financials?

  • The Real Reason Behind the Global Financial Crisis, Part III
    Great article. Credit Default Swaps are the root cause of the financial mess we face now. That indeed is the weapon of mass financial destruction. Politicians and the media say that housing and subprime are the root cause when indeed they are not. Yes, they had an influence but absent the CDS it could have been contained without any Govt intervention. Govt plans todate does nothing address the root cause of the probelm, and short of the Govt by edict eliminating them outright, I am not sure what can be done.
