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.

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."Email continues...
Annaly Mortgage (NLY) -- I think this is a business model that needs to borrow money. Definitively do not buy."

Warren Buffet, The Ultimate Dividend Investor
paid out are taxed yearly, while cash that is kept by companies grows and
eventually you pay capital gains, but they are paid only once. So all that money you paid in taxes could have compounded inside the share price over the period that you own the shares.
Warren beleaves that compounding is the secret to the highest after tax
rate of return. Owning a company is alot more about fundamentals, then what they pay out as dividends.
Picking Some Stocks to Survive This Market
Dividend Aristocrats Survived September
Buy, Sell or Hold: BofA Will Strengthen as the Weak Perish
Canadian Oil Sands: Gates and Buffett Visit
looking to invest there. So he likes to see first hand some
of the companies, and sectors that will grow in the
future. He also said he bid 500 million for a company
in China that was turned down. Everyone can
understand oil, and how much it runs our lives. Buffet
knows that the United States wants oil from friendly
countrys, and Canada is just north.
GE: Why Buying on Weakness Is an Excellent Idea
olympics are generating profits, and exposure. Long term less
people are watching tv, and more are surfing the net. So growth
at NBC may be slow. Take that cash and pay a special dividend or
buy back more shares. Invest part of it in green energy. That will drive
growth in the future. Especially with the emerging markets
building boom. The company has too many moving parts and
should concentrate on growth. I own the company, but the shares
have been stuck in neutral for a decade.
Is Microsoft Out of Ideas?
cash they generate every quarter. Cloud computing is a
huge future growth area, why not spend some cash there. Yahoo
is falling in price, and if they ( msft ) wait longer they could
buy Yahoo for a better value.
The Great American Economy? Take a Closer Look
Where is the money going to come from to fund social security, and
medicare when the huge amount of baby boomers start retiring?
These programs were designed for a workforce that was supported
by a large number of younger workers. That is not the case in
the near future. People are living longer, and healthier than in
the past, which will put an enormous demand on these
programs. Either the government will raise pay-roll deductions, or
tax wealthy retired people who have payed into the system
their whole lives.
The trend is for the government to borrow more from other
countries, instead of export goods. The debt keeps growing,
which will be passed onto the younger generations.
The real question is do we make painful choices now, or let
our children deal with the problems?

would be a better use of our money. They have wasted
enough with the yahoo mess.

Three Stocks To Be Held To Infinity and Beyond
the value would be five or six times the amount. Compounding
is the secret to building wealth over time. All three companes
have a long history of bumping up the dividend. I'm a buyer
on the dips, and own all three.
Four Long-Term Winners Selling at Deep Discounts
I own THI, and GE
So GE missed a quarter, who cares. They will provide long
term investors with buckets full of dividends, and growth. Reading
last night that green energy will be bigger than the internet in
about a decade. Wind power dos'nt burn coal, and the US will
eat it up to stave off being tied to the middle east. Boone Pickins
and his billions invested into wind farms in Texas. When a oil
man looks to green energy, watch out!
"Tim's" is a small cap, and we know that the group has the
most potential for growth. They are moving into the US at
a moderate pace. In Canada they have a wide moat, as
buffit likes to say. Go ahead and bet against these two
companies, it's your loss.
Cheers
Pfizer Beats: Recommended at or Below $18
viagra would go for quality, and not the "no-name" brands.
I'm not sure that PFE future is so uncertain, especially with
that hord of cash they can use to buy back shares,
look for smaller pharmas who have good options in the
pipeline, and of course bumping up the dividend.
People needs drugs, and the boomers are hitting that
stage in life when they have disposable income, and
are living longer. Health care, and indirectly drugs are
a growth area now and in the future.
GE: Too Tired For Growth, But Yield's Attractive
continue to grow. The financial side of the business is down
at the moment, but will rebound. Green energy, especially
wind power is here to stay, and will grow.
The dividend is safe and growing, because earnings will
grow.
Good thing the rating question has been removed from
the articles. The quality of some of these stories is
poor.
