Retail Sales Are Weak, But No Towel Being Thrown In

Wasn't there talk awhile back about a retail bubble? If not methinks this may be it, even if it qualifies as a microbubble.

The Great Consumer Crash of 2009

buyitcheaper, you hit the nail on the head. I keep harping about the abysmal knowledge of a lot of people about even concepts like househod budgets. I know a lady who with a grade 2 level of understanding of math is mystified when she comes across so many people who either do not know how much they spend on their grocery bills or even know that all that running around in the big gas guzzler to save 2 bucks just cost them 10x that amount.....

Private Equity Deals Wane

Dialogs are such great things are they not? It wasn't too long ago that there was a lot of screaming about back to the land and such but hey, excuse the drama narratives. some of us are not as adept at neccessarily understanding all of this. That said here is an interesting question that was thrown at me by someone I know who was 'told' they had a 'grade 2 equivalency in math' --- How many people do any of you know actually keep grocery receipts or even watch how much they spend on their grocery bills?
Have a good time with this question...
And cheers to you,El CidCampeador

The Great Consumer Crash of 2009

The actual scenario pointed at is what happens. Your " Fed" is supported by tax dollars as well as private equity. Who do you think pays the fed?
There is more to the story than what appears to be just some magic "market force" that were generated by Human actions. These market forces did not fall from the sky and they were generated for some kind of effect.
Having said this I would like to ask some questions.
How does a person go about explaining things without necessarily falling into some abstracted narrative or some illuminati conspiracy theory?
If certain 'policies' are followed and certain effects 'acheived' then how does one approach these statements? Especially when assumptions have to be made to 'acheive any kind of 'effect'?
I really can go on with these plocks of mine so I will get off my cylinder at this time....

Wachovia Can't Seem To Do Anything Right

Interesting issue. Some people here say that anything that might be critical of the banks are potentially bad for the banks. If you have someone breaking the law and you have someone else smelling something off and that someone speaks to this issue that there is something not right,then what? Whether the bleaters like it or not, there is a 'moral imperitive' to say something about this, especially if that someone could potentially be 'in the know'. I have a feeling that the NY law some are mentioning is now being used to 'protect' those who could be doing these miserable things right as we type or whatever.
Do we want to see this occur? Or could we even be seeing this occur right now,even?

The Great Consumer Crash of 2009

I just printed off this massive tome to some friends who never gave up their back to the land missives from the 70's(anyone remember them?).
The commentary in this was enough to make a few people up here with me remember their grandparents comments about the Great Depression and how they made it through that. they survived quite well considering the stuff they had to do and , well, let's face it, the party is well and truly over, as it should be...

And that just about does it for the entire system. No one but the rich will have money and the poor/middle class who seem to have been conditioned by the 'ruling' classes will be fighting it out with each other that they will now discover that they are now serfs of the new feudal era.

Today’s Bull Market Is Tomorrow’s Bear Trap

300 point rises nothing more than buying into dips.
I expect the same thing that happens here is going to effect asia as well. That too is a 'bear trap'.

As Mortgage Securities Disappear, What Will Replace Them? [Housing Tracker]

Above may be true in smaller centers but the more trendier districts nearer the big cities are the ones that everyone seems to be living in fear of... Oh, BTW do not be alarmed at some of the numbers Freddie Mac has for its own valuation. It seems to be essentially Zilch....

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.
