  • Genentech Rejects Roche Buyout, Shares Keep Climbing

    The Pharmaceutical Industry is one that’s complex and often difficult for Investors to understand. What with drugs, pipelines, trials, approvals, the FDA, and all the potential dangers, it is a business model built on spending massive amounts of money and taking even greater risks trying to develop medicine.

    Drug development is one of the longest and most turbulent processes in capitalism and one doesn’t have to look past a few pages in the paper, or a few web news articles these days, to … [visit site to read more]

  • Italian ETFs And Economy Stagnate

    When Italy comes to mind, images of Missoni and Dolce & Gabbana are conjured, but the economy and exchange traded fund (ETF) may not be doing quite as well as these artisans.

    During the second quarter, the Italian economy shrank, taking the country closer to a recession than it has been in more than a decade as households and businesses cope with high energy prices.

    The economy contracted 0.3% after expanding 0.5% from January to March, says the Rome-based statistic department. visit site to read more]

  • Is The Commodity Boom Over?

    The last few weeks have really had me scratching my head and wondering, “What the hell is going on here?” The markets have been behaving exactly the opposite of what any rational read of the facts might suggest.

    As we have predicted repeatedly in these pages, the fallout from the mortgage crisis has continued for the top names in finance: UBS (ubs), Merrill (MER), JPMorgan (JPM), AIG (AIG), Goldman … [visit site to read more]

  • A Different Approach To Emerging Markets With ETFs

    Not all emerging market exchange traded funds (ETFs) are alike. Several can look at the same region, yet deliver some different results. Last week, we covered two of them that are based on market-cap weightings. But it's fundamentally weighted funds that are outperforming.

    A case in point is the WisdomTree Emerging Markets High-Yielding Equity (DEM), which has so far managed to resist the downturn in energy and commodities by a big margin in the emerging market ETF … [visit site to read more]

  • The Credit Crisis Enters The Third Inning

    I’ve never been a big fan of the New York Yankees, but if there is one Bronx bomber you have got to love it’s Yogi Berra.  After all, Berra could do it all in his day and and he certainly had a way with words.

    In fact, if he were asked about it today I’m sure he would have something funny to say about the absurdity our current economic mess.

    But since he’s not taking my calls, I thought I would put a few of his famous words in the mouths of some other famous people. I hope he doesn’t … [visit site to read more]

  • Russia Reinforces Its Market And ETF Presence With U.S. Steel Buyout

    Exchange traded funds (ETFs) could reap the rewards as the Russians add to their presence in the U.S. steel industry.

    In the biggest takeover of the year within the global steel industry, Novolipetsk of Russia is buying out John Maneely of Ohio for $3.5 billion. John Maneely is not an actual steel maker, but is one of the largest pipe and tube manufacturers in the United States, with products used in plumbing, scaffolding and electric wiring, reports Stephen Beard for … [visit site to read more]

  • JP Morgan Sidesteps Credit Turmoil No Longer

    Earlier this week, JP Morgan (JPM) acknowledged a "substantial deterioration" in trading conditions thus far in the third quarter. Apparently, market watchers who have recently called a bottom for financial stocks may need to rethink their supposition. JPM announced that it will write-down an additional $1.5 billion related to soured mortgage-backed securities and loans. This is more than the $1.1 billion dollars of write-downs the company claimed for the entire second … [visit site to read more]

  • Bad News From Financials And Weak Consumer Spending Put Stocks Back In Their Place

    Ongoing bad news from financials, oil and commodity price rebounds while consumer spending weakens put stocks back in their place. Bulls would suggest this is just part of a bottom building process while bears would suggest we’re just at a resting point before beginning another leg lower. Me? My chief concern is a trading range environment where meaningful and durable trends don’t exist.

  • The Partnership Between Chrysler & Nissan

    Why in God’s name is Nissan teaming up with Chrysler? While Nissan has had its own issues in the past it doesn’t make sense to partner with a company that is arguably on life-support, has an abysmal brand and few areas of strength to even offer a potential partner. While I can understand the appeal of partnering with another automaker to save on manufacturing costs, it just makes more sense to team up with a company that can offer strategic advantages related … [visit site to read more]

  • "Smart Money" Finally Catching On

    Sometimes it takes a while for the so-called “smart money” to catch on.

    Over the past year, for example, the S&P financial sector has fallen by about a third and is off nearly 50 percent from its February 2007 peak. Banks’ losses from the credit crunch have exceeded $500 billion, according to Bloomberg, and are set to rise much further. And origination and trading volumes for the vast majority of credit instruments — except super-safe Treasuries — have fallen through … [visit site to read more]

  • Will Malaysia And ETF Get A Helping Hand In U.S. Recovery?

    The Malaysian economy has come to a fork in the road, and economists are wondering how isolated the country's economy is from that of the United States', and what this means for investors of the exchange traded fund (ETF).

    Some economists have reveled in the fact that the Malaysian economy has gone through a decoupling of sorts from the U.S. economy. But it's imperative for policymakers and local investors to be on guard about the possible bumps in the road that could form, as … [visit site to read more]
