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.

Time To Invest In Canada Again?
Investment Strategy: Try to Catch a Falling Knife?
The third step involves new rules for stock market trading. No more than one stock trade flip per time frame, say per week. All stock trades to be taxed at 1/4% of the trade value without an allowable tax deduction. Also the allowance for 24-7 hour stock trading, 365 days per year. We are a global economy.

U.S. vs. the World: Sectors Matter
On Nov. 8, 2016 as a result of a change to the US constitution, the US congress and the senate allowed George W. Bush to run for president of the United States in hopes of resolving the Financial Crisis and World Depression that began in 2008.
After 8 years of depressed world economies, Bush ran a platform that convinced the United States people that aliens from Mars were responsible for the World Financial Crisis of 2008 and Global Warming. His campaign claimed aliens were living below the surface of the earth’s oceans and dumping Martian CO2 weapons of mass destruction from vent portals into the earth’s atmosphere. He claimed that the aliens living below the ocean surfaces were responsible for the disappearance and sinking of planes and ships, for example planes in the Bermuda triangle and the sinking of the Titanic. He went on to state, that the reason flying saucers appear and disappear is because the land in the oceans of the world.
He also convinced the world that Martians and not the Chinese, were responsible for circumvention of the flow of American trade dollars and the trade imbalances throughout the world economies thereby causing the World Financial Crisis. He claimed the Martians had been sucking up US greenbacks for years using an interstellar banking system and depositing them on Mars to absorb the Sun’s rays and warm the surface, hence the green planet. He went on to say, that the shortage of US greenbacks had left the US with insufficient cash to pay off its trade deficit for years.
Once elected in 2016 Bush declared war and sent 1,000,000 troops to Mars to fight the aliens. After a successful 1 year campaign without a casualty, all 1,000,000 troops returned to earth in celebration with a victory parade in New York. Though no Martians were ever captured and taken prisoner, and no green backs ever recovered, large quantities of CO2 weapons of mass destruction were found. Bush stated that the greenbacks could not be recovered from Mars because US scientists believed removing them would increase the risk of Global Warming by reflecting more of the sun’s ray towards the earth. To replace the greenbacks now on the surface of Mars, Bush convinced Congress that the US greenbacks must be replaced. He ordered the printing of 10 trillion US greenbacks the aliens had taken to Mars. This action quickly re-established the booming world economies once again.
Though the investigative reporting of CNN’s Larry King and his guests claimed no Martians or greenbacks ever existed on Mars and that no troops were ever dispatched, it could never be proven.
In 2018 the US declared War of the Underworlds. Bush rationalized that the world must rid the Martian aliens that he claimed that had resided below the surfaces of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans for hundreds of years. In addition to the fences built across the Canadian and Mexican borders and atmospheric saucer nets, he had the nations of the UN sign a War Measures Act that gave the US control of all world oceans. Since the Martians were dumping carbon dioxide into the earth’s atmosphere, US scientists believed it was poisonous to their own metabolism. The US’s secret weapon to fight the Martians was using their own weapon of mass destruction, injection of carbon dioxide into the oceans. To avoid burdening the US tax payers of the cost of the war, the UN ordered the world economies to pay for the War of the Underworlds. Since the US was the only nation that had never reduced CO2 emissions, it now was the only nation capable of providing the weapons. The US required that the world nations pay a trade credit of $1000 to the US for each tonne of CO2 that the US produced and injected into the oceans. To step up the War of the Underworlds the US ordered more coal fired plants built for the production of more CO2.
With the flow of US greenbacks re-established, the world economies booming once again and the oceans being injected with CO2 to keep Martians from living there in the future, George W. Bush was declared an International hero and awarded the Nobel Peace and BS prize in 2020.

Hedge Fund Liquidation in Pictures

It's Too Late To Sell Stocks, Just Wait
Can't hide behind sound names like GE, they are getting hammered too. I am going for the gusto, if the economy is going down the tubes, might as well go for high multiples with a 5-10 year hold window. I am trading laterally within a sector with producer names that are sound and pay a large dividend or are a small / medium cap with a large resource, such as oil, gas, gold, coal, iron, zinc, copper, platinum, nickel and uranium. The multiples from the 52 week highs to the lows of this week are very compelling (5 to 20 ratios). If the economy is going to move laterally over the next few years, there will be a lot of M & A activity, if the market is going to crash (tho the Fed are trying hard to ensure it dont happen), these resource stocks will survive. In 5 years I will be either thilthy rich or thilthy poor. Hopefully, naked selling and short selling will be outlawed. Maybe a non deductable 1/4% tax per share value will re-establish traditional long term holds.

Taxing Trades: The Democrats' Bad Idea
To smooth out the stock market waters requires that large institutional investors limit the volume of shares per company they can buy or sell, say a maximum of 2% of a companies shares and be taxed without deductions as well. Individual investors potentially could represent the majority of share holders in companies, but they are sitting in cash right now waiting for the swings in the market to ease.

Why I Am Cutting Back on Commodities
I hope you never sold stocks for less than what you paid for them, if so, you are playing into the day jiggers hand. Commodities will rise sooner than later. Most of my oil, gas and metals stocks are below my buy in price, which means I take a well deserved rest until they rise. The days of long sellers is long gone so play the short game.
