Dennis Gartman: Go Long Infrastructure, Short Everything Else

Any strategy that involves holding inverse ETFs for more than 1-2 weeks is a non-starter for me. The slippage on those in this volatile market is a killer!

Why CNN Can't Cover the Credit Crisis

"Real experts are hard to find, especially ones with big hair." Not so! CNN's Ali Velshi shaves his head and he's not very good either.

Bond Expert: Monday Wrap

Thanks, John, as always. Let me add, though, if "Participants in that market are concerned that the partisan bickering will put the rescues plan at risk," they can kiss my and all other taxpayers butts. If we must pay to save their markets, then we deserve our pound of flesh.

Attention Locusts: The Party Is Moving to Merrill and AIG

If the banks didn't play bookkeeping games and had come clean quickly WRT their writedowns this mess wouldn't be dragging on and there'd be no crisis of confidence. All these little piggies deserve what they get, which should include jail time for some. Of course, we average taxpayers will be the ones who get really screwed by the bailouts of members of the plutocracy.

IndyMac Failure: How Much Trouble Is Sen. Schumer In?

Of course, IMB had been on a downward slide for more than a year, and any investor (or $100K+ CD owner) who got caught with their pants down doesn't deserve a whole lot of sympathy.

Wall Street Breakfast - Sample Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News by 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. Oil demand withers. The International Energy Agency warned Friday worldwide oil demand... Email continues...

Better Choices - Cramer's Lightning Round (10/15/08)

by SA Editor Rachael Granby

Stocks discussed in the lightning round session of Jim Cramers Mad Money TV program,
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."
Annaly Mortgage (NLY) -- I think this is a business model that needs to borrow money. Definitively do not buy."
Northrop Grumman (NOC) -- You can't own the defense stocks right now. If I had to own one, I'd look at Lockheed Martin (LMT) with its good dividend.
