      Three words answer the question, "Reasons the U.S. Banking System Lost Its Way" - Wall St. 'GREED'.

    • Is There Any Hope for the Big Three Auto Makers? [view article]
      The main problem, IMO, facing GM and especially F is Wagonner and the Ford family. Both over many years have proven to be out moded, inept, indifferent. Both need management overhauls. The 'good ole boy ' days are over. Both need injections of new, fresh, young, hungry blood. Jul 02 12:33 PM
    • Recommending GM: No, I'm Not Kidding [view article]
      I agree with those above that likened, once proud, Gm's future to the Dionne Warwick song, "Wishin' & Hopin'"; however, for the contrarian types, instead of buying the common which is strictly a crapshoot, why not buy GPM, the 6.25% conv. pfd., callable, 7/10, currently yielding 9.75%? I know, conversion is off the map, but if GM does perform a miracle, these will move faster than the common - AND U R getting paid handsomely to wait . Aside from this, GPM has a put option down the road(2018). Jun 18 12:33 PM

      >>How did you miss "it's" in the first line?<<

      Begging your pardon; however, "its" is spelled properly. The apostrophe is used, only, with the contraction, it is.       Jun 17 12:29 PM
    • Dividend Analysis: Bank of America Corp. [view article]
      I would think that for those interested in BAC a more prudent move than the common might be BAC-PL; 7.25% conv. pfd., converts 20 to 1, 5 year call protection, *qualifies for the 15% tax treatment, pays 1/4ly, A1/A+ current rating, etc. If BAC(common) slashes the dividend, one may have a 4%-5% yield. Currently, BAC-PL is trading at 970, almost a 7.5% yield and a bit more secure than the common with the possibilty of capitol gain down the road, AND you are being paid to wait until the smoke clears.
      Make sense?

    • UBS's Shell Game [view article]
      None of this addresses the fact that UBS is being sued, by their own clients, for hundreds of millions. This is a result of UBS's sticking their clients with what appear to be worthless AUCTION RATE SECURITIES. These were represented/sold as AAA, money market, cash, short term notes. As auctions failed because UBS didn't step in, UBS clients were stuck with doo doo. UBS's answer to loyal clients is wait, or out of much generosity UBS will lend clients their own $$ at some prevailing rate; Highway Robbery! May 22 12:24 PM
    • The Long Case for Sunoco [view article]
      >>>Any company that can pay their CEO's , directors and executives millions of dollars in compensation can (and should) pay shareholders more than 2 or 3 percent in dividends. <<<

      EXCELLENT thinking. The $$ some of these clowns steal is ludicrous, legalized thievery.

    • A Bullish Call On Philly’s Housing Sector Index [view article]
      Well said; most buyers/sellers do not refer to their technical handbook prior to investing. Relative to the HB's, PUTS are and have been the move. Less than a year from now, when more atrocious news is released, most of the HB stocks will be 10 or less. U wanna try to catch the proverbial falling knife? Oct 05 12:07 PM
    • Another Absurd Homebuilder Rally [view article]
      Right on! Kim and others like him have hidden agendas(huge loans to the bldrs.?). Where were all these geniuses when the writing was(still is)on the wall? A year from now half of these bldrs. will be history.
      Anybody remember Citi's Jack Grubman(Worldcom)? I've said it before, most of these "analysts" are probing in the dark. That's why they work a 9 to 5 job.       Oct 05 11:55 AM
