Theodore DeMatties III - Seeking Alpha 'Theodore DeMatties III' Tag RSS Syndication from SeekingAlpha.com SeekingAlpha.com http://seekingalpha.com/author/theodore-dematties-iii Russell Index Weekly Analysis http://seekingalpha.com/article/175596-russell-index-weekly-analysis?source=feed 175596
The chart continues to deteriorate for the Russell Index. Even with the dollar strengthening last week, the index continued to face heavy selling pressure. It closed the week at 577, which is right above a major support level. We are expecting a bounce in equities next week. This should help the Russell re-gain the 50-day moving average.

The Dubai situation last week led to selling in every asset class except fixed-income. This current price area on the Russell is a good entry point for those wanting to get long the index, with a hard stop on a close below the 575 level. Look for a bounce to the 600 area if the Dubai situation does not worsen this week. ]]> Sun, 29 Nov 2009 01:02:04 -0500 Theodore DeMatties III Theodore DeMatties III submits:

The banks, which played a major role in the breakdown, were bailed out by the same people who had to endure the punishment. Where is the logic in that I ask?

Banks such as Goldman Sachs (GS) and Citigroup (C) created and distributed toxic assets, better known as mortgage-backed securities. AIG wrote billions of dollars in insurance policies on these securities, full well knowing they would have no chance to actually make good on the policies if the housing market collapsed.

Poor management has dominated many of America's premier financial institutions and now they are being forced to drink the poison they concocted. The potent combination of housing price declines and overindulgent subprime lending practices has forced many banks, from Bear Stearns (BSC) to Citigroup (C), to write off billions of dollars in losses. CEO's from some of the biggest institutions have been fired or forced to resign.

Millions of Americans who can no longer afford their flex-rate mortgages are being foreclosed upon. Hundreds of thousands of houses lay dormant and halfway developed. Consumer home values have plunged on average 10% throughout the nation in the last two years, and in some cases by as much as 50%.
