Asia’s Dr. Gloom: China's Stocks Will Crash Soon Wednesday, 21 Jul 2010 08:37 AM Article Font Size By: Dan Weil Economist Jim Walker was dubbed Asia’s “Dr. Gloom” in 1996, and his views about China continue to fit that bill. Chinese fiscal and monetary stimulus have given life to many corporations that are in trouble below the surface, says Walker, whose one-man firm Asianomics is based in Hong Kong. "There are an awful lot of companies that don't make any money in China, and they need to go," he told Forbes Asia. Major manufacturing cities are suffering labor shortages, thanks...

Apple's Biggest Fear
Posted by admin / Under Stock Market Index
Apple's Biggest Fear By: David Sterman Staff Writer StreetAuthority Published: July 13, 2010 In the land of consumer technology, it's hard to stay as the king of the hill. Two decades ago, Sony (NYSE: SNE) ruled the roost, with its hot-selling Walkmans and Trinitron TVs. About a decade ago, Nokia (NYSE: NOK) looked poised to dominate the global cell phone market, and more recently, Motorola's (NYSE: MOT) RAZR set that company up for a long-term run as a consumer favorite. All those companies can now be seen in Apple's (Nasdaq: AAPL) rear-view mirror. With each passing year, Apple's brand only...

Wall Street Is Beating a Dead Bull
Posted by admin / Under Stock Market Index
Wall Street Is Beating a Dead Bull Adam Lass, Senior Editor, WaveStrength Options Weekly Thursday, June 03, 2010 tWall Street is drinking its own Kool-Aid when it tells you that the financial markets will jump 27%. The disconnect would be truly wonderful – if it weren't so truly awful. We have come to expect the "Axis of Error" – the propaganda colossus that is Washington and Wall Street – to do its level best to obscure the risks an investor undertakes should they choose to buy into this financial market. From an absolutist's point of view, it's foul, underhanded and...

Against the Odds, BP Analysts Stand By the Stock (Who will consider buying BP stocks now ?)
Posted by admin / Under Stock Market Index
It seems hard to fathom, but Wall Street is staying bullish on British Petroleum (BP). Which raises the question: Are these analysts overly optimistic about how BP will survive the largest oil spill in U.S. history? Scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey currently estimate the amount of oil pouring out of BP's damaged Gulf well at about 12,000 to 19,000 barrels a day, much higher than the company's initial calculation of 5,000 barrels. This spill is already much worse than the Exxon Valdez's Alaska accident in 1989. Despite the rising tide of public anger and hostility toward BP -- and...

UK: Market sell-off fears over political impasse
Posted by admin / Under Stock Market Index
Traders are braced for a sell-off on London markets today after the failure of Conservative and Liberal Democrats to finalise a deal to form a coalition government. Traders work on the trade floor at IG Markets in London Analysts hoped that European Union moves to agree a €110bn (£95bn) emergency funding package for vulnerable euroland economies, including Greece, would cushion fears over policy drift in a hung parliament. However, jitters remain after EU agreement on a larger bail-out package proved elusive and finance ministers declared war on the "wolfpack" behaviour of financial markets attacking the euro. Analysts and business leaders...

What’s Wrong With Finanical Reform
Posted by admin / Under Stock Market Index
It is common knowledge that the large financial institutions led us into he economic mess that we are in. Not really true, exactly, but still widely believed. There is no doubt that they were a contributing factor. Therefore, don’t we need to reform Wall Street? Doesn’t government need to get in there and make things better for Main Street. Isn’t it right that the Democrats stand up for the little guy (us) and fix Wall Street so that we do not have another broken economy? No. I am against the President’s Reform of Wall Street Bill for several simple reasons:...

How will the markets respond to the passage of Obama Care?
Posted by admin / Under Stock Market Index
Just wondering how Freepers think the stock market (and stock markets around the globe) will respond to the passage of Obama's "health insurance reform"? I was looking to see if the markets in Asia had opened yet and if they were reacting but I don't think so.
