Timber: Shake the Money Tree

Well, how about the fact that timber from Russia (Siberia) is much cheaper alternative then buying timber from the US? Can u say- the price of oil and shipping makes this Chinese demand for US timber weak?

iPhone “By the Numbers”: Apple’s Sweeping Tide Across the Globe

For all of you who want to make money - The current propaganda around Apple and Iphone is put out by various individuals who have loaded on Apple calls in expectations of Iphone launch date. On that date they will sell into the news. Nevermind that I need to charge my Iphone every 8 hours and I have to power it 2-3 times a day because ATT service sucks. Anyways, hopefully the new one is better.

Barton Biggs and Bob Brinker Are Both Bullish

I am not sure you can trust anyone in a tie to read into the future. Beware of both Brinker and Biggs and their mostly long positions.

Debbie Fuhr, Morgan Part Ways

The biggest name in ETF research? How ignorant and irresponsible to make such stupid statement and who let you publish that?
Did you know that Barclays and SSgA are the biggest names in the ETF industry, not Morgan. Speaking of SA policy, since when does SA allow articles with no tickers or securities related. It sounds like some internal PR thing.

Blockbuster a 'Top Pick' - Citi

I just don't see it yet, and the charts are not showing anything going towards the prices aboe. Citi's analysts or most analyst in general, are just kids; most of the time they went to business school in order to impress their friends, not because they had any understanding of the industry or predictive power. So any analyst saying the price should be $8 is like saying it will snow in FL. Until it does it will be difficult to believe it.

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. Oil demand withers. The International Energy Agency warned Friday worldwide oil demand... Email continues...

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.
