Three Areas of Opportunity for the Bold

agreed on the rate comment. more like 7%...plus management fees (10% of rent), plust taxes, insurance, plus maintenance....likely cash flow neutral at best which is not entirely bad. Unless of course you do not plan to tell the lender that it is an investment property!?!?!?

Corporate America Is Inadvertently Helping Obama

I see a similie here to the massive airline layoffs immediately after 9/11...in the heightened state of affairs I believe that airline CEO's had America over a barrel and wanted to use that time to break unions and conduct layoffs under the guise of 9/11 that were coming anyway.

General Motors and Chrysler: More Shenanigans

I think the merger could work if egos were put aside (yeah, right!) and the hard decisions were made to eliminate overlap (not likely IMHO either)

Could Automakers Take the Airline Route Pensionwise?

I don't think this would ever work for Ford...simply put, the bkp would wipe out the Fords' fortune along with the common stock...not while a Ford is on the board or chairman!

What to Do with a Dividend Freeze

Do you reinvest dividends? If so, why would you put a GE on the shelf when you would be buying so many more shares at the current price if you do reinvest?

Good article! (Fellow 62'er)

On the Banking Rescue: Clueless Politicians and Banks' Refusal to Lend

Good article. Good title. Far be it for Chuck to understand your point. Clearly, many banks need the capital to shore up reserves and ratios, thus they cannot lend (at least not all of it).

Citi: If Not Goldman Sachs, Then Who?

I would be very surprised if C went for STI. Not sure there is a good fit between a genteel southern bank and slick new yorkers. (I know that sounds crazy, but it is true. I am a 2 time Citi vet.) I would look for a better footprint with major metros...FL, AZ in particular as many folks there have citi experience. Just MHO.

Cramer's Mad Money - Steel Reels, Coal Stinks (10/27/08)

i think in both cases he is right...altria is the us version of phillip morris int'l (pm). Pepsi doesn't export but bottles locally, but would be subject to currency issues.

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.
