This week on Stockhouse January 28 – February 1

Wednesday marked another big day for stock markets, in theory, as the US Federal Reserve announced another .5% cut in the Fed Funds rate, bringing the level down to 3%. Markets didn’t pay much heed and closed lower on the day, though gains for the week were up sharply from January’s overall perilous descent. Friday brought another tug-of-war trading day as news of a decline in payroll numbers fought tooth-and-nail with news of Microsoft’s bid for Yahoo in an effort to take control of market direction.

All Systems “Go” for U.S.-India Space Cooperation

Chandrayaan I Lift Off Heralds India’s First Mission to the Moon February 1, 2008 – Washington, D.C. – The countdown has begun to “lift off” for India’s first mission to the moon.

Significantly, Chandrayaan I will carry - for the first time in the history of both countries - a payload atop an Indian rocket that includes two critical NASA instruments to map the moon. …

The Black & Decker Corporation Steal

In this stock market The Black & Decker Corporation (BDK) is the closest thing to a “can’t lose” proposition. “This is the right stock at the right price at the right time” in Cramer’s view. They are sure to benefit from the turn in housing. They report earnings on Monday and any bad news is baked into the numbers. The company could be a possible takeover target to a European buyer on the weakness of the dollar. This is a steal right now with the bad news in the past.
