US stocks fell Tuesday after a surprise decline in consumer confidence sparked a sell off on the Street, but the S&P 500 managed to end the quarter with a 15.2% gain, its best quarterly performance in more than a decade.  Also hurting the sentiment was a report from the Labor Department which noted unemployment rate jumped in all 372 metropolitan areas.        

Stocks touched multi-month highs during the quarter, with the S&P surging 40% after plunging to 12-year lows on March 9.  The period from mid-March to mid-June saw the Dow average shooting up 34% on hopes that the US economy was coming out of a recession.  However, rising yields, worries of inflation and dismal economic numbers during the past two weeks failed to provide further boost to sentiments on the Street and the rally fizzled out.  Nevertheless, fears of a complete failure of the financial system were shrugged

In one of the most high-profile proxy battles in US corporate history, billionaire investor William Ackman will introduce his slate of alternative directors to shareholders of Target Corp. (TGT) on Monday and ask them to overthrow the discount retailer's present board at the annual general meeting later this month.

Ackman has been pushing Target for the last two years to bring about a radical change in strategy. He claims that the Minneapolis, Minnesota-based company's directors lack relevant expertise to make critical decisions that could navigate Target through the ongoing economic crisis.

While Target has no past record of poor governance, its investors might support Ackman's activism in light of the company's underperformance in terms of key retail metrics in the recent past. Shares of Target have shed nearly 40% of their value since a July 2007 high of about $70. Rival retailer Wal-Mart that once lagged

Barring some dramatic – and unforeseen – news this week, expect investors to tread water until Thursday, when the government is expected to release the results of the bank stress tests it conducted on the 19 largest U.S. banks.

The stress-test results are expected to show that the 19 banks may have to raise between $100 billion to $150 billion – or even more – in new capital. Investors will cause the shares of the strong players to zoom northward, and will likely savage the shares of the weakest players.

“I can’t think of a time since I’ve been watching banks when there’s been so much uncertainty about the true value of a key set of assets,” Douglas Elliott, a fellow at the Brookings Institution, a Washington think tank, told Reuters.

The U.S. bank stress tests have transfixed the world financial markets for weeks, exacerbating the ongoing financial crisis – worsening the U.S.

Highlights include Cosi, Inc. (COSI), Jamba, Inc. (JMBA), Starbucks Corp. (SBUX) and Panera Bread Co. (PNRA).Negative cash flow and a threadbare balance sheet makes survival challenging for some restaurant operators.As the recession deepens, cash flow tumbles and credit tightens, the restaurant industry is right-sizing excess capacity that was added to satiate shareholders' thirst for growth.Virtually every operator has closed under-performing restaurants built in sub-par locations -- as competition for the "A" spots intensified -- while they dramatically scaled back expansion plans.Some restaurant chains -- those that rapidly expanded despite sub-par profitability -- face extinction. Cosi, Inc. (COSI) and Jamba, Inc. (JMBA) are 2 such examples.Years of operating losses have drained Cosi's cash reserves, casting substantial doubt on its ability to survive the worst recession in decades.
