Stocks Rally on Financial Writedowns: Overly Optimistic? http://seekingalpha.com/article/70866-stocks-rally-on-financial-writedowns-overly-optimistic?source=feed#comment-135096 135096
And mind you, it is not just write downs with banks, they also have losses for the quarter.

I am stunned with the market's steep rise yesterday and it forces me suspect a newly hatched conspiracy among the large investment banks around the world.

After LEH press release, its shares fell 5% that evening they waited to announce after the quarter end). Than at about 1:30 am, the wires flashed the UBS story and Asian markets fell. By 8:30 am everything was hunky-dory. By the end of the day, "everyone" had a logical rationale that big write downs and big losses are good for banks, especially IBs.]]>

It appears that your #3 reason "Extensive Hedging Program" doesn't seem to hold for CHK. When natural gas - along with all commodities - fell on Mar 19/20, CHK fell right with it - reaching a low of 42.15 on 3/20 (-5.76 from the close of 3/18) before recovering to close at 44.29; but still -3.62 from 3/18 close. I should also note that the broad rose significantly on 3/20!

I would very much welcome your interpretation of this movement.

Thanks.]]>

Comment by "I'm a moron" is indicative of this. Buying GOOG for dividends??? That's the first time I have heard of this.

Chasing only dividends is hazardous to your portfolio. In many cases, especially in a bear market such as now, the dividend yields look tempting only because the share prices have tumbled and *NOT* necessarily because those are GOOD companies paying GOOD dividends.

Some commentors have echoed this reality in this thread.

The Next Credit Crisis Will Originate in China http://seekingalpha.com/article/59047-the-next-credit-crisis-will-originate-in-china?source=feed#comment-108199 108199
"The Chinese NPL market is one of the largest in the world with a total outstanding principal balance of over a trillion dollars."

You probably don't mean "NPL"?

I would be more scared if it was.
