    This article is very good for investors. Looks as if we should be in utilities, health care, and food stocks. Give us more like this one. Reply

    U.S. Bank Dividend Yields Revisited [view article]
    I think finanical sector is still not out of woods even after 340 billion dollar worth of writeoffs and around a trillion dollar wipped out of the market capitalization of this sector. There are number of reasons for that
    1) Securtization cycle is completely broken off, most of the big investment bank/brokers earned a third of the earnings from this. And i don't see this returning back anytime soon.
    2) Regional banks still have to recognize all the losses on the loans that are still on their balance sheets and not yet securitized.
    3) All the recently raised capital(convertibles/p... Debt) will have a highly dilutive impact on the number of shares outstanding 3-5 years down the road.
    4)Banks/Brokerage houses has yet to recognize the losses/reduced earnings due to general economic slowdown
    So any recovery before 2010 is highly unlikely for financial sector.
    i look forward to the Comments/suggestions from fellow alpha seekers.     Reply

    winslow, obama? government? not that hillary or john are any better. looks like the choices were larry moe and curly, or the facist the socialist or the communist. the gov has done well with: our currency? socialist security? education? infrastructure? defense? healthcare?...... maybe if they were chained as intended by our constitution and concentrated on what tiny amounts of legal authority the fedaralis are allowed we would not be in this mess. please do not whine about an organic constitution. it was written in the simple plain language of the day for all to understand.

    i owned about 8500 shares of regions at the time of the amsouth buyout. luckily circumstances caused me to sell off 7000 shares to buy bhp,ngs,trma,silxf, and io. also to pay off a new home purchase. i sold the old home right after the first wave of housing trouble. i guess an angel was watching over my shoulder or lady luck was smiling. i wish i could say i had that much savvy but i was lucky. my remaining shares of regions are reinvesting.

    An excfllent article in the July + August MOTHER JONES Magazine entitled "this was no accident-Wwo wrecked the economy- and why they work for John McCain

    The article basically puts the blame at Phil Gramm's feet. It says that some laws he helped get passed in 1999. It was" a historic banking billthat decimated Depression-era firewalls between commercial banks , investment banks, insurance companies,and securities firms-setting off a wave of merger mania.
    In Dec. 2000, he helped to get a bill passed called theCommodity Futures Modernization Act. It was written with the help of financial industry lobbiests. For starters, the legislation contained a provision-lobbied for by Enron, a generous contributor to Gramm-that exempted energy trading from regulatory oversight. I believe it also opened the door for all those Credit Defaukt Swaps that ultimately helped everything get so out of controll.

    We will feel the results of this deregulation for years into the future. I've tried to give a summary of the article, but I'm afraid I haven't done it justice. Please chekc out the article for greater detail.     Reply

    Winslow - You are absolutely correct - make sure you vote for Obama and he will make all your dreams come true except some of us may consider them nightmares.
    Oh yeah - gov't control is the answer for everything.     Reply

    All of these institutions have commited a crime. The government needs to take a strong stance that nothing like this will ever happen again. Alas, we have a present administration that considers this "the normal business cycle". These financial firms are the conerstone of the US economy and we let them take all the candy in the candystore. Reply

    The CEO of BAC stated rather emphatically that they would not cut the dividend. And, based on this year and next year's earnings estimates there is no reason to disbelieve him.

    Some write downs will be write UPS next year.

    And, in answer to a previous poster.... we always picked up casualties (wounded) while bullets were still flying.     Reply

    I don't understand how upper management of most of these banks have a job. Many should have been fired months ago. Reply
