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.

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."Email continues...
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. - Stocks & Sectors -SampleSeeking Alpha - Stocks & SectorsInternet

What's It Going to Be: Inflation or Deflation?
I think what is happening is that we are continuing to deflate and asset prices will fall till they become cheap enough for all those holding the $ to buy them. In the process Mom & Pops will go out of business, your silver inheritance will be listed on ebay or sold to kitco for pennies etc.
By the way, a Brigade is just too small for any thing worth mentioning.
Going to Hell in a Handbasket: The Rush To Protect More Stocks
This Is a Trader’s Market, Volatility Demands It
You predicted in BusinessWeek the december issue of last December that DOW will be 13000 by december. How does that fit with you article here?Are you saying we are going to charge at 13000 before we hit 10000.The Dow chart and I am a beginner seem to get a bounce around that 11000 mark and there is a long consolidation pattern in that are running from December 2006 to early 2007 before the rally to 14000. It looks to me that the dow is ready for a long leg down but what are the chances we don't get a mini rally here that pushes above 12700?
The Cyclical Nature of Markets
What do you think about fertilizers here?potash company specifically IPI.
Also, I like TCK and ABX mainly because of their leadership in their sectors and because of their recent energy acquisitions.I personally think Oil touches 90s and then rallies secretly when the next bull comes because headlines were be all about the economy recovering and the dollar appreciating.
Massey Energy Posts Big Number But Big Charge Too
later on, probably around oct. I would like to buy BTU, ABX , TCK.
Financials: How - And When - We Reached the Bottom
I think we are due for a bounce technically, financials are beaten down and it is quarter time so we will see another 2-3 months rally of sorts. There is one glimpse of good news: investment banks are not borrowing as much in the last month or so. I suppose they made enough money buying oil futures and then raising price targets, good for them.
I want to buy potash companies but a little nervous, also want to buy some bulk shipping companies. certainly don't think financials are a bargain. I would go to tech though I think tech has been getting sold for such a long time and I think it is a sector that has a chance of survival especially tech services type not the hardware types.

Oversold and Headed for a Triple Bottom?
Dollar Reversal Underway?
I am bearish on europe in terms of economy: Aside from russia and former soviet union nations they too need to import a lot of stuff and they have very high unemployment and entitlement programs. They are socially struggling but the soccer events are probably holding them together. I just don't see europe as the 'awakened giant' or 'the comeback kid'. they may raise interest rates, they may have less foreclosures but they just don't have the natural or human resources to compete. It is all china from here and it has been in the last 5 years.
Double Bottom Forming or Just a Pit Stop on the Way Down?
in terms of support, the S&P looks really broken now: 1348 was taken out(50% retraction from the rally's high) and 1326 was taken out today. I am looking for 11500 on the dow to see if if that will hold.What I am most interested at this moment is gold price
S&P 500 is Testing the Bottom of Its Range
Also, the end of this month will mark a 3 month cycle which is gonna be crazy as funds shift/dump positions,etc.
Do you think Gold looks good here?
I was in ABX then the strong dollar policy talk came by and I got out. do you think this is a good entry point or should I wait for it to clear previous high?

If the market continues its uptrend, I just don't know how long can this be sustained. "They" will probably sell all their assets into it and buy overseas investments.
