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...

Does the Auto Industry Deserve To Be Bailed Out?
THE AUTO EXECS DON'T WANT TO FILE BANKRUPTCY BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE TO OPEN THEIR BOOKS!
tHE AIRLINES FILED BKS AND CAME OUT OF THEM ALIVE, SO CAN THE AUTO INDUSTRY.
Market Rally: Why It Happened
Since 9/11/01 our illustrious government has been pumping and manipulating our markets; one theory that I have is that they were doing it thru hedge funds.
This could explain the vast differences (swings) in the market action.
How Sarah Palin and Joe Biden Would Guard Your Wallet
You forgot that politics is all about promising the world and not giving anything in return except to their big contributors; thats either Republican or Democrat.
The solution is a new party to get the political parties in check and bring some honesty.
Get Ready for Government Taxation Without Representation
I wonder how many people remember what the BOSTON TEA PARTY is/was; maybe we need to start up a new one; my email address is gijoe605 in gmail.

AIG Must Not Fail! - Cramer's Stop Trading! (9/15/08)
The only thing that I could figure out is that there is someone of importance working for AIG that the biggies don't want to lose a job.
There are plenty of good insurance companies that could gobble AIG and it should happen after all BK is nothing nowadays.
Another afterthought is that someone doesn't want the public to know what AIG is doing with the liberal accounting.
Coeur d'Alene Mines: Compelling Silver Investment
I happen to have seen in their annual report of a lawsuit that prevents them from dumping their piosons into a lake!
I wonder why nobody commented on that.
Yup, new management is needed in the company.
More on Russian Gas
Where ther is a will there is a way.
The Europeans will have to work on finding alternative energy sources to use, and that would mean that they will have to stop their socialistic experiments and work to create energy sources other than Nuclear to fend off the winters.

What Drove the Dollar to a 6 Month High?
The gal is trying to communicate a point, but she doesn't have all of her facts together for a rookie.
A major source of the dollar going up is, government hedge funds that were setup all the way back to Sept. 11th. There is government manipulation and that is also the reason why the Feds won't allow Hedge Funds to be registered.
The above IMO can be researched by plowing thru newspapers about the 9/11 tragedy and how the market came back to life.
The market is being manipulated.
The People's Republic of America?
it seems that there is a clash going on between the elite capitalists and the working people, whereby the elitist are trying to create a serfdom here in America where we fought the Brits to get our freedom but the elitists are trying to finish what they couldn't do before, starting with squashing our fundamental freedom with disguises.
The Republicans of today are not for freedom but elitists and the Democrats are commies/socialists who look to restrict our growth; its time for a new group to form and it sounds perfect: "PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC"
Casino Stocks Scream Value Play
Did we forget about the energy crisis?
There are less people taking trips on airplanes to goto Vegas because of the hassles and therefore they can go locally in their neighborhoods.
Personally, Atlantic City is a major problem because the idiots in control over there (AC Casino Dev Comm, NJ convention) are run by appointees of Gov. Corzine and they don't have a clue what they are doing there. Most of the commute services to AC are now from the NY Port Authority! In New York City! So if people want to goto AC in New Jersey they now have to go to either New York or Pennsylvania!
So revenues decrease and and the govt. appointees don't have a clue what is going on and they don't care as they get paid whether they are working or not.
It used to be when there was a slowdown in the economy people went to bet at the AC casinos but now a lot of the old-timers don't go because of the transportation system eliminating a lot of bus routes in New Jersey.
So people in Northern New Jersey goto either Foxwoods or the other one up North instead of commuting down to AC, resulting in a decrease in revenue and profits.
Historical CRB Charts and the Commodity Bubble
The actual manipulation is ongoing in the commodity futures markets that the indexes are mimicking not the other way around.
Years ago the CRB index was just that, with no weighted average toward any one commodity; each commodity was segregated and shown its highs, lows, averages, it would be welcome to see that format back.
