Obama pledges tough enforcement of Wall Street reforms
2012-05-19 15:00:00 WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama on Saturday called on the U.S. Congress to back his efforts for tough new financial industry oversight, saying a $2 billion trading loss at JPMorgan underscored the need for such regulation. "We've got to finish the job of implementing this reform and putting these rules in place," Obama said in a weekly radio address that accused some on Wall Street of causing the 2007-2009 economic crisis because they "treated our financial system like a casino. ...
Facebook's messy debut on Wall Street
2012-05-19 11:04:00 NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. stocks fell on Friday after a sloppy debut by Facebook Inc spoiled hopes that a spectacular open for the most-anticipated stock sale in years would brighten the mood in what has been a gloomy month for equity markets. Shares of Facebook, the social networking giant, were volatile in the busiest day ever for a trading debut. After early gains of more than 10 percent, Facebook shares fell back to the $38 issue price, ending up just 0.6 percent at $38.23. It was the Nasdaq's most actively traded stock, with more than 566 million shares traded. ...

Wall Street is Wrong About this Big Oil Sector Stock
2012-04-02 19:00:00 If I had to describe the stock market in two words, then I'd pick shortsighted and (very) skittish. A brief hiccup in revenue growth, a discouraging word from management about quarterly earnings or even a bit of bad press can sometimes trigger a selloff that significantly pushes a stock's price down. This sort of thing might actually be comical if real money wasn't at stake. One of the latest examples involves an energy stock familiar to most investors — Schlumberger (NYSE: SLB), the world's largest provider of technology, information (i.e. seismic surveys), transportation services, project management and other services to the oil and gas industry. The company generated $39.7 billion of revenue and $5 billion of net income . . . → Read More: Wall Street is Wrong About this Big Oil Sector Stock

A second wall of worry for Wall Street to climb
2012-03-20 15:15:00 Another load of bricks for that wall may even be rumbling down the road, in the form of first-quarter earnings reports It’s an old market maxim that the stock market often climbs a wall of worry. In the current rally the S&P 500 has gained 29% since its October low, and the wall of worry it climbed has been impressive. Reports in October showed the economic slowdown in the first half of the year worsened in July and August even as the second half got underway. By November the Euro zone debt crisis and fears of a potential default by Greece, and an ugly aftermath, were dominating headlines. The market had a great time scrambling up . . . → Read More: A second wall of worry for Wall Street to climb

MLPs?Wall Street?s Best-Kept Secret: Yves Siegel
2012-02-08 00:30:00 The Energy Report: Yves, what can investors expect out of MLPs between now and the end of 2013? Yves Siegel: Steady as she goes. The yields for our group now are around 6%, and we expect distribution growth to be about 7%. If Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke is true to his word, we’ll continue to expect an environment of low interest rates for the next two years. So if you combine the yield and the distribution growth, we think investors could see low double-digit returns. TER: How do distributions grow?

Why Wall Street Experts are Getting Nervous about this Rising Market
2012-02-06 16:00:00 At the start of each year, the chief strategists at Wall Street firms analyze dozens of variables and make bold prognostications for the year ahead. They distill all of their conclusions into one simple number — the S&P 500, and where it will reside one year hence. As these strategists were putting their forecasts together, they surely noted that the S&P 500 was marching nicely higher. Trouble is, it keeps moving up and is starting to already breach the more conservative forecasters on the Street. More than a few of these folks predicted the S&P 500 would end the year around 1,325. We've already surpassed that mark, and we've got 11 months to go! To be . . . → Read More: Why Wall Street Experts are Getting Nervous about this Rising Market

Occupy Wall Street is heating up on both coasts.
2012-01-31 08:56:00 It's January, but the OWS movement certainly isn't cold: Twelve protesters were arrested Sunday night on a march through Lower Manhattan to show support for Occupy protesters in Oakland, where a violent confrontation erupted on Saturday night between the police and demonstrators who tried to take over an empty convention center. The crowd in New York, about 300 strong, occasionally surged into streets, and on at least two occasions someone in the crowd threw a bottle, apparently aimed at police officers who accompanied the march on foot and in vehicles. The police plunged into the crowd several times. Three men were charged with assault and one with criminal weapons possession, the police said. Most of the rest of those arrested were charged with disorderly conduct. Three of the 12 people arrested were women. One officer sustained an injured finger. Meanwhile, on the other coast, hundreds were arrested in Oakland: About 400 people were arrested and three police officers were ...

If you do not know what significance the words "MIKE CHECK" have in this day and age of American history, You are either a brain dead zombie, are paying no attention to anyone or anything going on around you, or so old that saying the words "MIKE CHECK" only mean something you would never do because you're so busy sitting on your couch, watching Two Broke Girls and eating potato chips that a live streaming reality show like the Global Revolution Happening Now, Including the United States, seems very UN-real to you. BTW, A lot of this is all about money, and the 99%.....and as one woman in the Madison Wisconsin uprisings so eloquently put it, "The Genocide of the Middle Class" It's time for a Reality Check and a Mike Check now in America.

Are You Limiting Yourself to 50% of the Action on Wall Street?
2011-11-30 17:00:00 I'm not sure I remember exactly how I felt in February, but like most investors I was interested in what the New Year would bring. I suppose there's a certain amount of optimism that goes with that. The S&P 500 had just finished two pretty good years, with total returns of 15.1% in 2010 and 26.5% in 2009. My guess is I was trying to find which companies would be the biggest winners in another "up" year. And buy them. But that strategy is, at best, half-baked. It only represents half the action going on in the market at any given time. Of all the investors trading stocks exactly 50% are buying — and 50% are . . . → Read More: Are You Limiting Yourself to 50% of the Action on Wall Street?

Occupy Wall Street at Zuccotti Park cleared by NYPD.
2011-11-15 16:18:00 New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg is a disgrace to all New Yorkers and the Constitution of the U.S. Watch this video to see how free speech is snuffed out at 3am. Not only did he steal his 3rd term, overruling the will of New York City voters for term limits, but now he's fulfilled his status as a Emperor Bloomberg. This will only make the movement grow larger. #OccupyWallStreet Convening 9 a.m. Sixth Avenue and Canal Street. From the #OWS site: New York, NY -- We are a global movement that is reclaiming our humanity and our future. We have stepped into a revitalizing civic process, realizing that we cannot fix our crises isolated from one another. We need collective action, and we need civic space.

Occupy Movement Exemplifies Sathya Sai Baba?s Failure As Social Reformer
2011-11-10 02:53:00 In the next days, I shall look at aspects of the Occupy movements, many of whose manifestations show how profoundly Sathya Sai Baba and his international organization have failed. Sathya Sai Baba and his cult always failed to face political and corporate power. They themselves are part of the corrupt system. His successors now fight out power struggles among themselves. The international Sathya Sai Organization ?good works? philosophy plays perfectly into the hands of the power elites, who have nothing against charity. We all like to feel good. Big-name donors to the Sathya Sai cult are legion, especially in India, and from among the Indian diaspora worldwide. Amid untold golden glitter, the late Sathya Sai Baba said that, in his own lifetime, he would save and rule India and then the world Those in the Occupy movements are better educated than ever before, and thus able to use social media such as Twitter, Facebook, YouTube etc., to great advantage.

Occupy Wall Street: A Threat to the Dollar?

However, simply dismissing Occupy Wall Street as a fad may be a big mistake, just as it is a mistake to dismiss the Tea Party movement. Regardless of your political stance, and with no offense intended to supporters of either group, we believe they may be two sides of the same coin – quite literally.

“Occupy Wall Street” Losing It’s Bite As Reality Catches
2011-10-23 19:01:00 It wasn’t so long ago that Obama decided that he was the only thing between wall street and the pitchforks.  As I commented at the time in a Pajamas Media article, America’s bankers lack backbone. Maybe I’m being unfair to the current crop of bankers. After all, the problem has always existed. It’s just that it has come to a head recently because we have a political power structure in place that clearly plans to take advantage of that perceived weakness. As a rule, financial types are not exactly noted for their bravery. And we all know that predators tend to attack where they see weakness — particularly if they anticipate some gain for themselves. So it was recently when we saw a Democratic president of the United States suggesting that his administration was the only thing standing between the bankers and the pitchforks. To anyone who has been watching the events unfolding recently and understands the causes of those happenings, the statement of the president wa...

Wall Street protesters are all clueless..So I thought
2011-10-21 05:40:00 Unless you’ve been living under a rock (Geico commercial plug), you must by now be aware of the Occupy Wall Street movement.The movement is mainly one of protesting the social and economic inequality brought about by corporate greed and government influence, particularly in respect of the heavyweights in the financial services sector.As we’ve seen, the Occupy Wall Street protest has given rise to similar “OccupyCityX” movements across the world, including our very own Toronto.Notwithstanding some of the examples of unlawful conduct, there has been much criticism over these protests which focus on the participants themselves and the lack of clarity in their focus and demands.It’s wrong and dangerous however, to paint all the protesters with the same broad stroke of criticism.Like the wise Donald Cherry once said, “when you’re wrong, you’ve got to admit it”…

Imagine the uproar if anybody at Tea Party were to have been videoed demanding that black go back to Africa, where in fact few have ever been, or that illegal Mexican immigrants go back to Mexico, which by the way is where they belong.
