Kill Bill 3 seeria võtted Kongressis venivad oodatust pikemaks, kuid see ei sega Crameril laskmata karu nahka jagada
On Thursday’s edition, Jim claims Bank of America (BAC) could benefit from the bailout as it has already written down the value of the loans it acquired through its merger with Countrywide, and is currently in the process of doing the same with the assets it received from Merrill Lynch (MER). Cramer said once the government begins buying mortgages at values higher than Bank of America’s current book values, the bank can instantly revalue these assets and see some upside. Wachovia (WB) could also benefit because the bank will be able to split into good and bad components and sell off the bad parts quickly to the government.
Washington Mutuali palgalehel on/oli üle 40 000 töötaja ning selle kokkukukkumine on vaieldamatult USA pangandusajaloo suurim.

poliitkute käitumine viitab minu arvates sellele, et McCain'i rolli tahetakse selle tingel-tangeliga eesseisvaid valimisi silmas pidades olulisemana näidata.
Credit Suisse upgrades Research in Motion to Neutral from Underperform and cut their tgt to $80 from $100 following the co's Q2 results.
Deutsche Bank downgrades Research In Motion to Sell from Hold.
Research In Motion upgraded to Outperform from Market Perform at Raymond James.
Changing Industry Fundamentals — We believe the already competitive handset industry is entering a more difficult phase, driven by slowing consumer & enterprise and the increased marketing/subsidy spending needed to support the flurry of new product launches. We see potential for severe price competition (potential price war?) across the industry.
Ehitajate puhul juba täiesti tavaliseks saanud tulemus:
KB Home (KBH) reports Q3 (Aug) loss of $1.87 per share, $0.65 worse than the First Call consensus of ($1.22); revenues fell 55.7% year/year to $681.6 mln vs the $734.7 mln consensus.
Samas on bilanss järjest tugevam, põhjuseks:
KB Home continue to focus on three integrated strategic objectives: maintaining a strong financial position, restoring operational profitability and positioning ourselves to capitalize on a housing market recovery when it occurs.
Samas lähitulevikku väga helgelt ei nähta, sest foreclosurer'id tõusevad, varud on kõrgel ning inimestel on raske saada laenu. Valitsuse töös oleva plaani kohta ei osata enne detailide selgumist nägemust võtta.
Q2 GDP- final +2.8% vs +3.3% consenus, prior 3.3%
5 minutit möödas ja kurss pole liikunud ei ühes ega teises suunas, kas tõesti nonevent billi ootuses või suuda ka finantsturgude teravaimad pliiatsid enam seisukohta võtta tänase suure määramatuse tingimustes
Minu arust parim lause solar-sektori kohta, olen samal seisukohal:
Firm cautions investors to continue to remain focused on fundamentals and the fact that supply of PV is beginning to grow faster than demand, rather than relying on the "math" to help make the fundamentals look better. (Friedman Billings)

The budget should be balanced, the treasury should be refilled; public debt should be reduced; and the arrogance of public officials should be controlled.
-- Cicero, 106-43 B.C.
The market has quickly fallen apart after a hopeful rally yesterday in anticipation of a bailout agreement. The real driving force here seems to be the many folks on Main Street who are outraged by the idea of bailing out Wall Street. Congressional Republicans are balking, and that leaves a very odd confederation between the Bush administration and congressional Democrats. Talk of a new plan is being circulated, but at the moment all we have is absolute chaos.
To add to the difficulties, the credit markets are seeing extremely high levels of stress again as LIBOR rates and the commercial paper market undergo heavy volatility. We also have the failure of Washington Mutual (WM) , but that has been pretty well anticipated, and JPMorgan (JPM) is taking over there with a minimum of disruption. A bad earnings report from Research In Motion (RIMM) is also adding to the distress as the stock trades down more than $20 from yesterday's close.
It is often said that the market hates uncertainty, and we have that in spades this morning. It is almost impossible to trade this market right now because it is so driven by the next headline.
I suspect traders will be trying to anticipate another relief rally if it looks like another bailout bill might be agreed upon. That is the sole focus of this market right now, and there is so much disagreement over whether that will be of any real help that any relief rally is most likely to be a good setup for shorts.
Speaking of shorts, regulators in China are considering lifting their ban on short-selling in order to help their markets. That's right, China has figured out that its long-standing ban on shorts might actually be hurting their markets rather than helping them and it wants to boost trading.
So it's a mess out there. There isn't much we can do other than stand aside and wait for things to calm down. You can't trade this market in a rational fashion. It's a gamble on news, which some people enjoy, but it is better for the prudent speculator to just to stay in cash and wait on the sidelines.
We have an ugly start as foreign markets take a hit and crude oil trades down.
