    AIG falling hard

    Lehman bk must have put them in a hole because of the credit default protection they may have underwritten.

    Aig

    Given the bounce from the 1994 bottom, the volume and the green in the end, it looks like it.

    Aig

    Nice green at the end.

    Aig

    It bounced from the lows of 1994 at 13.77. Could that be the floor?

    Mark my words here...

    He might be that and more. But if you knew that tomorrow's news may be about a widened trade deficit on lower exports which may cause the dollar to tank sending markets lower and then, at the end of the day, news may come out about possibly Fridays' August PPI declining leading to another...

    Why doesnt Radio Shack go bankrupt?

    And last but not least, all I have to do wih RS is walk around the corner to check if they have what I need (or call) before pulling my butt into the highway for a 35 minutes drive to the closest Best Buy or Circuit City, where I would have to walk 1 block from the parking space to the front...

    EDENOR of Argentina (EDN)

    Peloro, mire algunos charts. Mas alla de fundamentos, pareceria que el precio de la accion se moveria hacia los 12 o 13 dolares en el corto plazo (divergencias tecnicas).

    Correct me if I am wrong but the company's money from JPM actually got backed by the government. Since the recently passed housing bill explicitly states the need to keep the GSE's as shareholder-owned, I was thinking this *bailout* will be no different: private money backed by a loan guarantee...

    With the <b>precedent</b> of Paulson throwing a few bones to Bear shareholders, first 2 then raised to 10, would anyone here risk estimates for a possible bailout? One suggested by a wise friend was 100% debt (senior, junior), 50% preferred, 90% common (about 3 to 6.5 per share) if high is...

    Corn Crash!

    We, from South America, tend to believe that Americans -the government, that is- are more honest and have less of a double speech. But perhaps governments all around the world behave the same. I do remember that he stressed the fact that Australian crops were coming back to the market in a big...

    Corn Crash!

    Two days ago a guy on NPR (from a soft ag government agency, can't remember exactly which) said that the present soybean crop will be (is) the 4th largest in history and that the corn one was also huge with international markets recovering very nicely. He specifically mentioned Australia, but if...

    Jim Rogers said he covered all his financial shorts. Then, he added 'almost all of them'. Looks like some are moving on...

    What to short if Argentina markets collapse?

    Perhaps, perhaps... (just came back from there). Look for the credit default swaps. Ask your bank. Or the bonds. Some argentine companies trading in US exchanges: CRESY (ag) BG (ag) TS (steel) BFR, BRS (financials) DXO (consumer non-cyc) IRS (real estate) LQU (beverages) YPF (oil)...

    The Darkest Storm is About to Descend - You Can't Imagine the Carnage

    And you are telling me to do a lil' study? LOL. You know nothing about China's economy and trade. If you had really studied the era of the great depression you would have known that it was in the 30's when comms (ags and metals) plummeted because of a serious recession globally and noone was...

    The Darkest Storm is About to Descend - You Can't Imagine the Carnage

    I am afraid commodities will not plummet. In fact, oil will go up just to maintain a parity (inflation). Dollars worth less > need more of them to buy 1 barrel. Then, all oil derivatives (including fertilizers) will sky rocket in unison until 1 added innocent straw breaks the camel's back. Only...

    Corn Crash!

    Caroy, if I may... I agree with this logic and it makes 100% sense. It is your prior post I do not understand where you state: "Expect more slight sell offs tomorrow before corrections unless the system in Argentina straightens itself out." Which sell offs are you referring to? Your...

    Corn Crash!

    Unlikely. The date to watch is Wed. July 16th when the Senate deals with the half-voted resolution 125 by the House. Probably back to the House or rejected for continued turmoil. If voted, more clashes. Unless Reutemann's proposed reg's get the upper hand and replace the 125. But I am having...

    The Coming Renationalization of Petrobras.

    Correct... and the difference between refineries and oil exploration companies.

    The Coming Renationalization of Petrobras.

    Good article, thank you! Being latam my view is that nationalization processes invariably fail and do not achieve the expected outcome for whatever reasons. Petrobras "is a leading global company in its field" just because it is in private hands. Governments do not care about reinvesting...
