Research in Motion Warns [ Source : istockanalyst.com ] Wed, 03 Dec 2008 20:19:00 GMT So much for that early strength, but nothing matters until 3 PM. Things have gotten so dysfunctional in individual stocks that I have not looked at any of my watch lists since over a week ago. I have a series of about 12 watch lists, sorted by sector, with a few lists as "misc" (various sectors) and I sort it by best performance on the day to worst. In the old days I used to go look up the extremes (best and worst) for the day to see if there was news, what the charts looked like, are they breaking out, breaking down - is there a compelling buy? a place to begin to layer out? Now? None of that. The only thing anyone looks at are indexes and ETFs. I'm the same. Why bother when 2 PE stocks can lose 50% and go to 1 PE stocks. Valuations have meant nothing; no sector leads for more than 2 days, today its a bogus rally in retail on the "hopes"[More...]

A Different Kind Of Recession [ Source : istockanalyst.com ] Wed, 03 Dec 2008 18:25:00 GMT The official arbiter of US business cycles, the National Bureau of Economic Research, has made it official: the US economy is in recession. However, contrary to our belief that the US avoided recession until the third quarter of 2008 (MP: a belief I share), the business cycle dating committee of the NBER (a group of academic economists) decided the expansion that began in November 2001 came to an end in December 2007. Even with rising inflation, and falling home construction, real GDP contracted at only a tiny 0.2% annual rate in the fourth quarter of 2007, and grew in the first two quarters of 2008, including a quite healthy 2.8% growth rate in Q2. Not since 1970[More...]
