The move could put Portugal's international bailout package in jeopardy although some economists believe a workaround is possible, according to WSJ. http://seekingalpha.com/currents/post/929201?source=feed#comment-17339381 17339381 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 02:05:18 -0400 Cypriot finance minister Michael Sarris says "significant progress" has been made Saturday in discussions with the Troika. Officials appear to be leaning towards a deal which will tax deposits over €100K by 25%. Sarris says a proposal may be ready as early as Saturday evening but some in parliament say a vote may not occur until after Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades meets with EU officials in Brussels Sunday. http://seekingalpha.com/currents/post/906091?source=feed#comment-16704881 16704881 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 14:26:19 -0400 Market recap: Stocks cut their losses late to close mixed after lawmakers in Cyprus voted against the proposed levy on bank deposits, but the modest volume yesterday and today makes the market action look like profit-taking rather than a fear-based trade. Despite a solid U.S. housing report, consumer discretionary, energy and materials seen as tied to economic growth led decliners. http://seekingalpha.com/currents/post/897801?source=feed#comment-16528661 16528661 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 23:47:21 -0400 McDonald's Profit Margins Are Going Down http://seekingalpha.com/article/1072851/comments?source=feed#comment-16026521 16026521 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 09:12:57 -0500 BlackBerry Z10 U.K. Pricing Remains At A Premium, Despite Misleading Analyst Report http://seekingalpha.com/article/1250681/comments?source=feed#comment-15966081 15966081 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 05:43:53 -0500 What It Really Costs To Mine Gold: The Goldcorp Edition http://seekingalpha.com/article/1233851/comments?source=feed#comment-15938241 15938241

But...but Obama is a shooshalist!!!!!]]> Market recap: A broad-based surge in stocks propelled the Dow nearly 100 points higher than its previous all-time high close, led by financials, industrials and techs, sectors which underperformed yesterday. The move is seen as a strong fundamental signal on top of solid readings on U.S. manufacturing and services. With today's gains met by such deep rank-and-file skepticism, more upside could remain ahead. http://seekingalpha.com/currents/post/868671?source=feed#comment-15886031 15886031 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 17:55:33 -0500 Fed Vice Chair Janet Yellen surprises no one, calling for the central bank to press on with its asset purchases. It's the usual story - the benefits are obvious, the costs negligible, if any. QE will continue, she says, until there is substantial improvement in the outlook for the labor market. http://seekingalpha.com/currents/post/864361?source=feed#comment-15865141 15865141

Management teams are likely to be conservative in their requests from the Fed as "taking a mulligan" - i.e., resubmitting a plan after being shot down - is not seen as a viable option. http://seekingalpha.com/currents/post/865141?source=feed#comment-15834281 15834281 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 21:15:11 -0500 "Dude, where's my inventory," asks Bill McBride, as the imminent start of the spring selling season has yet to bring much product forward. Inventory is up just 3.4% thus far this year, and stands 23.2% below a year ago. If the rest of March doesn't bring substantial gains then razor-thin inventories may not be done bottoming. http://seekingalpha.com/currents/post/865761?source=feed#comment-15829211 15829211

City officials have ten days to persuade Snyder to change his mind. Should he uphold his decision, it would be the latest step in attempts to prevent Detroit filing what would be the biggest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history. http://seekingalpha.com/currents/post/863551?source=feed#comment-15767001 15767001 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 12:42:11 -0500 Electric Vehicle Roundup: 1) Chevrolet Volt (GM) sales continue to fluctuate wildly, up 59% Y/Y and 43% M/M in Feb. to easily beat sales on Toyota's (TM) Prius. 2) Look for Ford (F) to include sales numbers on the Fusion Energi as the model hits dealerships this month. 3) Nissan (NSANY.OB) sold 636 Leafs in the U.S., +36.6 Y/Y, flat M/M, just ahead of the unveiling of a new model. 4) In Scotland, politicians issue campaign promises to install an EV charging point every 50 miles. 5) Tesla Motors (TSLA) trades in the mid-$30s post-earnings.

Keep buying firearms t bags, leave economic decisions to the intelligent people. ]]> A politician in Cleveland wants to prohibit the sale of energy drinks to anyone under the age of 18 as he introduces a bill to make it a fourth-degree misdemeanor to serve a minor. The crux of his argument is that a caffeine level of 70-80 mg per 8 ounces is too high. In the sector, Monster Beverage (MNST -1.3%) is already ahead of the curve with a plan to change its labeling which will make it clearer that its drinks contain less caffeine than coffee and could back off regulatory probes. http://seekingalpha.com/currents/post/852021?source=feed#comment-15524961 15524961 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 10:50:54 -0500 How much debt can the U.S. handle? A new paper quantifies an 80% public debt to GDP ratio - where the U.S. is right now - as the point at which a nation reaches a potential tipping point; once a nation has debt above that level, it becomes vulnerable to the kind of self-reinforcing vicious cycles that have crippled others. Two responses from Fed officials see the analysis as simplistic and eurocentric. http://seekingalpha.com/currents/post/847471?source=feed#comment-15422391 15422391 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 17:00:54 -0500 Amid worries that rising gasoline prices are on the verge of pushing the U.S. into a recession, an MIT study makes the case for even higher taxes at the pump. If the goal is to get Americans to drive less and use more fuel-efficient vehicles, and to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gases, the study says higher gas taxes are at least six times as effective as stricter fuel-economy standards. http://seekingalpha.com/currents/post/847431?source=feed#comment-15422251 15422251 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 16:54:12 -0500 How much debt can the U.S. handle?
