EU Banks Able to Manage Exposure to Troubled Debt [View article]
Moody's report says "Our survey indicates that gross exposures are mostly concentrated in a range of private claims comprising business and residential loans, interbank loans and, to a smaller extent, derivatives. The aggregate gross exposure to sovereign or other public sector debt is significant but comes second." Moody's also made a number of assumptions for degrees of loss in each segment that are much greater than currently forecast. Time will tell if they are right. Angus Robertson, Editor

Thanks. The use of peaked is incorrect as you point out. It was quoted from another report but still should have been used correctly. And while the mathematics do imply that growth rates typically slow over time, this does not negate the argument that the iPad will make that growth rate slower than it otherwise would have been: that the iPad will take some market share from netbooks, even if, as seems likely, netbook sales continue to grow, at least for a while.

Analyst BackCheck: Piper’s Munster on Apple [View article]
Thanks for the feedback. Munster's 600,00-700,000 iPad first-day sales estimate was issued on the launch day Saturday afternoon and was based on his calls to Apple stores, so I'd say it was more than an administrative error. But give him credit for saying he was wrong and not making excuses. And while he was off on the opening day sales, he was on the mark about the very strong demand for the iPad.

PulseCheck Update: Blockbuster on Life Support [View article]
No, we've actually had a couple of positive things to say about SIRI in the short to medium term. Long-term I think the product will be superseded by newer technologies, but SIRI at least has a chance to adapt. Rite-Aid is also in a challenging longer term position, given the growing strength of CVS, Walgreen's/Duane Reade and Wal-Mart.
Higher Cost of Owning vs. Renting Will Drive U.S. Foreclosures Higher [View article]
Thanks for all the comments. NPR's Alex Blumberg has an interesting piece today on a potential tidal wave of foreclosures if people get over their shame of defaulting and act in their economic self-interest. www.npr.org/templates/...
