Market Madness

It looks like I need to pull out my “This is Madness” Clip again from yesterday.I remember remarking sometime in 2006 or early 2007 that the market was so lacking of volatility. There was some historic streak where the S&P 500 never gained or dropped 2%+ for some inordinate amount of time - it was something like a year and a half I believe off of memory.Then we started getting 2% moves all the time by mid 2007 and we thought it was nuts. Then the 3% moves began. Now in the past 3-4 weeks I think we’ve had approaching 8-9 days of 4%+ moves. 4%!…

BB&T (BBT) CEO Slams Bailout

Well, this sort of truth telling (even if the bailout “is” necessary) puts BB&T (BBT) up at the top of the list of larger regional banks to buy for the “financials are back” sector rotation along with Wells and PNC Financial. Nice! Bank on bank hate is interesting to read Obviously everyone is talking “their book” so you must read everyone’s viewpoint with multiple grains of salt….

Birmingham News: Regions Financial (RF) "Guilt by Association"

Hard to take any CEO for face value considering Wachovia (WB) CEO was on Mad Money two weeks ago saying “it’s all good” - and then yesterday was brokered in an emergency deal at $2 a share… but…Birmingham-based Regions Financial Corp.’s stock plummeted 41 percent on Monday, but CEO Dowd Ritter expressed confidence in the strength of his company’s Main Street business amid turmoil on Wall Street. “You hear all this Wall Street, Main Street talk. We really are a Main Street bank,” Ritter said, adding that the bank services consumers and small businesses across its 16-state footprint. “We’re not tied up with massive multibillion-dollar agreements there on Wall Street.” …

Analyst Keep Trying to Defend Mosaic (MOS)

I did a very shoddy back of envelope analysis yesterday on Mosaic (MOS) in terms of cash flow and the ability to completely but back all its shares …Only 68 more points down for Mosaic before it gets to zero. I think down from 6x earnings to 5, do we hear 4? Looking at their balance sheet last quarter they had $2 Billion in cash/equivalents versus $1.6B in debt - so net $400M. Their cash flow was $1 Billion in 1 quarter alone. With realized prices higher this past quarter than the previous they should generate even more than the $1 B in cash last quarter. This will allow them to reduce their debt significantly and be somewhere around $1.5B cash net of debt. And add at least $1B every quarter after for quite a long time. With a $30B market cap starting in 2009 they should be able to generate $5B in cash a year which in theory means they can buy back 1/6th of the company every year, and by 2015 be private ;)…

I Missed Wells Fargo (WFC) Again

I need to learn to put a limit order in for Wells Fargo (WFC) - I was watching it yesterday to buy and it held up almost the entire day - then in the last 15,20,30 minutes it was pole axed 10% but was not around to see it. Today, of course it is right back up 9%. An upgrade today - remember folks, perception is reality. Wells is not immune from the credit crisis and has bad loans but is “perceived” to be a good player so money will flow to this name, no matter what the reality is. As long as big money is fleeing into the name, the realities on the ground mean little - it’s all about money flow….

Bookkeeping: Closing Fluor (FLR)

I am closing the last of Fluor (FLR), one of my favorite companies period, today. This stock has dropped 50% in just over a quarter on the “global slowdown” trade. Since I don’t see the global economy recovering anytime soon, and it does not seem to matter how many times these global engineering companies reiterate business is fine and announce contract after contract, they get sold off.

Thornburg Mortgage stock price pops +300%!

I am not sure exactly what happened but the shares of Thornburg Mortgage (TMA: 1.15 0.00 0.00%) jumped 310% yesterday. And this was on a day when the rest of the market was falling by 6-10%. I could find no news on the reason for the jump but I will take a guess.
Thornburg has been having problems with creditors wanting to make margin calls on held securities even though an agreement had been reached stopping all margin calls until March 2009. These issues had been preventing TMA from completing the stipulations for the new funding agreement that will allow them to restart their lending business and get creditors off of their backs. I would guess that these issues have been resolved and Thornburg can go forward with their new funding plan.

Time to Start Accumulating? Where’s the Bottom after Today’s Massive Drop

Today was not a good day in the stock market, as the S&P 500 went down -8.8% from 1213.27 to 1106.42 (-106.85). The market broke below the previous low of around 1133.

Where’s the Bottom?

But we believe…
