The Brightest Stars in the Commodities Boom, Part Two

Mark, the price per unit weight comes down when you order more from Aldrich or the like.
I am in the business to buy rare metals and their salts for your business. We usually buy kg quantities and get much better prices compared to the "catalog price" I quoted above. For fun, I could ask a quote from Aldrich for 1 kg Co.

Fannie and Freddie: When the GSEs Go, So Goes the Dollar

Lower bond prices/higher interest rates will not attract capital to the US perse. Only when the rate of return is higher than the real inflation rate.

Fannie and Freddie: When the GSEs Go, So Goes the Dollar

The FED could always decide to swap the entire mortgage portfolio of Fannie and Freddie.

What is more interesting is that the credit-default swaps are trading at levels implying a A2 rating, overlooking the government's implied guarantee of the debt. However, it could also be the case that traders rate the GSE debt at A2 to signal real US debt rating of A2!

Gold Stocks: The Next Winners

Who cares about the concentrated shorts and the CFTC. The moment their bluff is called by demanding physical delivery, the shorts will default and the COMEX vaults will show empty.
At that moment, it's game over over shorts and COMES alike and not one single producer will ever sell their silver in the US again.

A Demographic Headwind for the U.S. Dollar

¨70% increase in personal and corporate income taxes¨
¨109% hike in payroll taxes¨

Both will lead to massive job losses and strikes, if not revolution.

¨91% cut in federal discretionary spending¨

If you scrap the president, sure...

¨45% cut in Social Security and Medicare benefits¨

You wanna mess with granny? Be carefull...

Are you iReady for the AT&T iPhone?

I bought a nice, thin, unlocked Motorola V3 RAZR for $100 and got a T-Mobile ToGo sim for another $100. Very happy with the combination.
When I travel to Europe, I plop a euro sim in the phone. Simple as that.

If iPhone price comes down to $100 for unlocked version, I might buy one.

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.
