Stock Market News for November 20, 2009 – Market News

Zacks Market Commentaries (November 20th, 2009) Writes:

U.S. stocks tumbled Thursday as concerns about a subdued economic recovery played in the minds of investors.  Safer bets like dollar strengthened and oil prices slumped.  As investors turned to safe havens, Treasury prices rose, sending corresponding yields lower.  Yields on three-month bills, considered one of the safest bets, turned negative for the first time since December.  A Bank of America Merrill Lynch downgrade of semiconductor industry also added to the downward pressure.     

The spike in bond prices came even as the Treasury announced plans to auction a record $118 billion in new notes next week – an auction schedule of $44 billion 2-year notes on Monday, $42 billion 5-year notes Tuesday, and $32 billion 7-year notes on Wednesday.

The Dow, which had plunged as much as 170 points during the session, ended down 93.87 points, or 0.9%, to 10,332.44.  The broader Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 14.90

Goldman Sachs – Defending the biggest kid on the block

Bill Bonner (November 19th, 2009) Writes:

Resident voice of reason at The Daily Reckoning, Bill Bonner takes a hard look at Goldman Sachs and replaces jealousy with admiration. “We pick up sword and shield, ready to fight for Goldman, after reading the Financial Times. The FT has devoted a whole page to Goldman bashing. It’s time someone stood up to say a kind word for the firm.”

Bill Bonner (The Daily Reckoning, UK):

The Lloyd’s Prayer

Our Chairman, who art at Goldman Blankfein be thy name The rally’s come God’s work be done On earth as there’s no fear of correction Give us our daily gains…

Poor Goldman Sachs. Everyone is on its case. Criticizing. Carping. Jealous. Envious.

So, today we rise in defense of the Wall Street giant. Yes, the Goldmen may be shysters. But they are honest shysters…

Besides, it was another slow day on Wall Street. Investors

Should “Big Tobacco” run the government?

Andrew Snyder (November 18th, 2009) Writes:

Baltimore — (TFN): If politicians would get their heads out of their re-election campaigns, they would not have to make hasty, thoughtless decisions that cost you and I money.

In the days following Obama’s inauguration, Washington quickly passed a wide set of tax reforms. Part of the legislation included a $400 tax break for the country’s working class and increased healthcare funding for the country’s poor, unhealthy children thanks to increased taxes on the tobacco industry.

It is no surprise neither measure has worked out as planned.

According to reports today, more than 15 million of us will have to pay back the $400 we saved in taxes over the last few months due to an error on Washington’s end.

I hope Uncle Sam doesn’t expect interest on his loan come April.

The news out of the tobacco industry helps us continue our discussion on regulations. The good and the bad.

Industrial Production Rebound Stalls – Analyst Blog

Dirk Van Dijk (November 17th, 2009) Writes:
In October, overall Industrial Production rose by 0.1%, far below the 0.6% increase registered in September and the 1.3 increase registered in August. It was also well below the 0.4% consensus expectations. To my mind, this is one of the most important economic reports, and one that does not get anywhere near the attention it deserves in the press. The September numbers were revised down from 0.7% growth, while the August numbers were revised up from 1.2%, so call it a wash on the revisions -- although they do make the slowdown more dramatic. Of far more concern than just the raw slowdown in the numbers was the source of the meager increase. Industrial production has three major categories: manufacturing, mining and utilities. Of these, manufacturing is by far the most important. Mining is a relatively small sector in the U.S., and while utility output is important, ...

Crash Alert: The Future and Failure of the U.S. Dollar

Bill Bonner (November 16th, 2009) Writes:

Bill Bonner (The Daily Reckoning) In the short run, it might have enough life in it to bite investors on the derrière

London , England

We got back from South America on Friday… ready for a rest. So, we spent the weekend reading… and occasionally, thinking.

What we’ve been thinking is that the dollar is dead meat in the long run. But in the short run, it might have enough life in it to bite investors on the derrière.

The US stock market rose 73 points on Friday, to bring the Dow just 30 points south of the 10,300 mark. Why is this level important? It’s not really. But it reminds us that this is still just in “bounce range.” Big drops in stock prices are followed by bounces – always. A bounce of 50% of what was lost is not unusual. That’s what

The Strongest BRIC Country

Martin D. Weiss, Ph.D. (November 16th, 2009) Writes:
I have a trick question for you, especially if you’re interested in emerging markets: Among the four BRIC countries — Brazil, Russia, India and China — which offers the best stock market performance for American investors? Be careful how you answer, because appearances can be deceiving, especially if you focus strictly on one year. Looking at year-to-date results, for example, it might seem that the answer is Russia. From the close of trading at the end of last year through the closing price this past Friday … FXI, the exchange-traded fund (ETF) tracking China’s blue chips, is up 45.87 percent … PIN, representing India’s major stocks, is up 64.16 percent, and … EWZ, the leading Brazil ETF, is up 104.25 percent. But …...

The Banks Are Bursting

Frode Haukenes (November 15th, 2009) Writes:
The banks’ excess reserves has exceeded USD 1 trillion, records shows. Last time the excess reserves surged like this was between 1929 and 1935. The enormous amount of money might be a potensial threath to the FEDs control over money supply, former Wall Street-trader, derivatives expert and author dr. Espen Gaarder Haug argues in a new blog post.  “To me [...]
