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."

The Credit Market Indicator: Don't Buy Stocks, Yet
What's Wrong with Today's Value Investing?
but i guess we´re in a process of transforming valuations.
models rely on todays prices in relation to lets say the last 10-15 years.
but thats too shortsighted.
the market prices dire profits for the coming years.
that makes stocks less attractive.
so if a model would suggest that a pe of 10 is cheap, there´s no law it has to stay that way. it can fall to 7, 5 or 2 - nobody knows.
it´s called pe-contraction and it happende way in the past.
not an easy time for stockpickers...

this one is for the issuance of 40m of convertible preferred stock in june:
yahoo.brand.edgar-onli...
"...The conversion price of the Junior Preferred Stock will be subject to adjustment pursuant to customary anti-dilution provisions. The conversion price will further be adjusted if by October 31, 2007, a change of control has not occurred, or a definitive agreement that, if consummated will result in a change of control has not been entered into. The conversion price will be adjusted to be equal to the preceding 15-day VWAP if such VWAP is less than the then-current conversion price, but in no event below the lesser of (i) $2.00 or (ii) the per-share price that bears the same proportional relationship to $2.00 as the June 2007 VWAP bears to $2.48, provided that in no event shall such per-share price be less than $1.90 (the “ October 2007 Special Adjustment Floor ”). Thereafter, if a change of control has not occurred, or a definitive agreement that, if consummated, will result in a change of control has not been entered into, by December 31, 2007, the conversion price will be further adjusted to be equal to the preceding 15-day VWAP, if less than the then-current conversion price, but in no event below the lesser of (i) $1.65 or (ii) the per-share price that bears the same proportional relationship to $1.65 as the June 2007 VWAP bears to $2.48, provided that in no event shall such per-share price be less than $1.50 (the “ December 2007 Special Adjustment Floor ”), in either case subject to further adjustment..."
->the conversion price is subject to downwards adjustments the longer a takeover is not in place.
what does this tell you about this company?
Akeena Solar: America's Next Industrial Giant?

Currency Analysts Expect Dollar To Strengthen
so where are the future buyers?
as for currencies the consensus is mostly wrong.
when the euro hit 1.36 vs. the dollar two years most economists wer pretty bullish for the euro expecting it to fly to 1.40.
but the opposite happened.
What The Fed Said vs. What The Fed Meant
the whole thing gets even more bizarre when Feds Plosser (not a voter) today warned of post rate cut inflation risks.
Simtek Corp. On The Rise
with the nasdaq listing stockholders are cashing in.
CY is offering 1.0 of it´s 3m shares.
and the company registered 1.2m new shares (positive part: 1m warrants are exercisable at 7.50)
"This prospectus is being used to register 2,351,155 shares of Simtek
Corporation's common stock being offered by the selling security holders, which
include certain of our current officers and directors. Of the shares offered by
this prospectus 1,153,171 shares are currently issued and outstanding and
1,197,984 shares are issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock purchase
warrants with exercise prices ranging from $3.30 to $7.50 per share."
at the price of 5.85 the company will have a market cap of 95m post nasdaq listing.
book value is 17m (7m of it is a non competition agreement?) with only 3m cash.
revenue growth is impressive but i would like to see some kind of EPS guidance here,
before i would buy in.
if the business is that great, why did CY reduce their stake instead of aquiring the company?

Baidu: Raising Questions on Valuation and Search Ads
if you don´t understand soon, you will loose alot of money.
you are betting against the dominant player in chinese internet.
the company is profitable and compared to it´s growth the stock is still cheap.
2007 pe stands at 66, revenue and EPS are projected to grow by more than 80%.
analysts keep raising their estimates.
what do you expect?
that a fast growing company trades at a forward pe of 30, or what?
you will never get a ferrari at the price of a corolla.
