Going Down? Cramer's Lightning Round (9/15/08) [view article]
I like Cramer, I've liked him for the past 10 years. He and Scott Bleier were the only ones who looked out for the individual investor during the internet bubble. He has a hard job, he has to sit on a fence between the individual investor and the powers that be in this business. He says he dont care about making enemies in this business but he dont mean it. I believe his heart is in the right place he doesn't want to hurt people, people just need to learn Cramer lingo and learn to read between his lines and if people did their homework people would understand him better. For example, when he did catch up the week in april he was trying to tell people that goog which was behind the market since the year started and was going to soar after earnings. He does things like that alot and if you did your homework and know the stock market people would get it. As for him being a clown, yeah he gets clownish at times but thats just for entertainment purposes. ReplyGoing Down? Cramer's Lightning Round (9/15/08) [view article]

Mr.Hunkar, Your comment speaks volumes. Nothing is as impressive as a person who admits an error and thanks the person who corrects them. I will read your posts with a new enthusiasm.I would also suggest that, in my opinion, buying both HSBC and Lloyds TSB , at current levels, represents an outstanding opportunity. I have held HSBC for ten years and have not sold a share. I recently established a position in Lloyds( $22.05 ) after waiting and watching , quite literally, for the last seven years. These are two companies an investor cannot own enough of.
Respectfully yours , Menachem Ben Yakov

Guys - Sorry for the delayed replies.ignorant - Thanks for the note.Will be more specific and clear next time.
User 138602 - RBS had a write-down of £5.9B due to exposure to the sub-prime credit
crisis.In order to shore up its capital base the bank had a right issue for raising
£12.0 B in JUne of this year.In addition the board had agreed to raise the Tier 1
Capital ratio to 8%. The stock has fallen so much due to this nearly £6.0B loss and
the ABN Amro purchase/integration expenses.
In UK, the rights issue was made on the basis of 11 new shares for every 18 shares
held at an issue of price just 200 pence which was about 46.3% discount to
the closing price of 372.5 pence on Apil 21, 2008.As of June 9th, about 95.11%
of the shares in the rights issue totaling about 5.8B shares were subscribed
by investors.
RBS has a dividend payout ratio of 45% in 2007.As per the board, after the rights
issue the 2008 may be reduced.
As the second largest lender in the UK after HSBC, RBS had to writedown this huge
£6.0B loss. So when compared to LYG, HBC or Standard Chartered this writedown was high.
Hence the stock is down a lot compared to peers.
Hope the above helps.
CARMEL - I included only the commons in this study.I should have mentioned this
in the post.Preferreds are a different story. I will include then in future articles.
Menachem Ben Yakov - Thanks for the info.I stand corrected.
goatfarmer- Thanks for the suggestion. You idea will be implemented in the
next similar article.Yes yields net of tax would be good to know but it
gets complicated due to many issues.I can include any time of tax info.
know for the mentioned countries though.
Thanks everyone for your comments. It helps me serve you better.:) Reply

FORD MOTORS should change its name to DROF and move all its operations to the southern states where unionsare not welcomed. It is the workers who allow the unions to
screw up their own jobs. Like blindfolded followers. Reply

If so many people are so sure that unions are committing suicide, by striking, why don't these pundits just wait for the strikes to kill the unions? What are the pundits so afraid of, if the unions are "committing suicide?" Won't that get rid of the pesky unions that the pundits so obviously hate? Could it be that the pundits are afraid the strike(s) will (GASP ! GASP! GASP!) succeed? ReplyWall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News [view article]
anybody remember the suicide of the printers union in nyc? as globalization increases the unions that are left better start educating their members of the realities of life in the business world. ReplySan

Does anybody understand the approach that Boeing and the unions have taken over the last several years. While we don't have a national strategy on industries, this would seem to be a key one. It is technologically based, the main competitor is tangled up in European politics and socialism, there are balance-of-trade opportunities, there are national security issues, etc. One would hope that union negotiations take place in the context of general agreements about how much of prosperity or difficulty the owners get (ROI) and how much the workers get (wages). Hopefully it is not totally tactical - like US Steel or Detroit in the 50s. ReplyWall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News [view article]
I grew up in Flint Michigan and saw first hand how lazy ass auto workers and a currupt unions failed the workers, the city, the state and the country by not allowing new technologys to be used while making it almost impossible to fire workers who were not effecient. Taxes and unions drove jobs overseas and looks like we havent learned a thing.On Sep 04 11:54 AM User 218405 wrote:

The Unions had better think twice about striking Boeing. They have all but killed the Auto industry in the past. The economy doesn't warrant jeopardizing your job with a layoff. ReplyWall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News [view article]

Similar comment on BCS as Menachem Ben Yakov's comment on Lloyds TSB. Per Yahoo Finance, BCS has paid dividends of $1.755 and $0.895 during the 12 months preceeding its 8/29/08 close of $25.70. Assuming my data and math are correct, that produces a dividend of 10.31%. ReplyTop Foreign Dividend Stocks Traded in New York [view article]
Yields net of tax would be useful for non-US stocks, as tax rates on non-US stocks vary quite substantially. ReplyTop Foreign Dividend Stocks Traded in New York [view article]

Actually about XOM they do very little research other than to look for oil. Yes they buy back stock. It was pointed out on the radio that the CEO of XOM makes more money than they spend on researching for alternate energy sources. Also the spend more money advertising that they are searching for altenate energy than they spend on alternate energy research. I like the article I am in Candian Royals for my higher yields. Reply
