The Financial Bullet: November 2007
http://thefinancialbullet.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 29, 2007. Is There Really A Question? The Fed will be cutting rates in a week and a half. It is what it is. There is no real reason that they shouldn't. If they were going to make a stand, they should have done that two cuts ago. Goldman Sachs see rates reaching 3% within the next 12 months, which would be 1.5% lower than it currently is. What will this mean. Continued downward pressure on the dollar. Higher oil mostly due to the lower dollar. My impression. What do you think? 2008 is ...

The Financial Bullet: October 2007

Tuesday, October 30, 2007. Stan O'Neal Is Retired, As of Like.Now. So it finally is finished. But what a weird way to go. Merrill Lynch announced that Stan O'Neal was not being fired, or that he was simply stepping down. No, Stan O'Neal retired.immediately. Like he is sooo retired. Do you think they threw him a retirement party? Do you think they got him a cake at least? I have no problem with people not liking me for stupid decisions that I make and get paid handsomely for it. Now certainly, Stan O'Neal...

Wednesday, September 26, 2007. Adding 3 new Picks. I cut LVS loose earlier this week and the question was how to replace it? My first idea is to go with domestic companies that have a global reach.and make a large portion of their income from that "reach". Why this type of business? Now for my third pick I am going away from the above reason and go back in the pharmaceutical area with my choice of Gilead Sciences Inc (GILD). This stock has grown and grown where most companies have big ups and downs&#...

The Financial Bullet: January 2008
http://thefinancialbullet.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 31, 2008. What to Make of the Month. Well, January could have been worse. The month started as an absolute bloodbath and finished with some roses. I'm not sure how. MBIA CFO pulled off a dozy. The company announced huge quarterly loss, announced that they did not think they would lose their AAA rating (which is still in doubt), and even if they did they would stand to lose $100-200 million. And the market rallied on this news. Somehow, it sounds like swing hard and hope type of ideas.

The Financial Bullet: We Need Leadership
http://thefinancialbullet.blogspot.com/2008/10/we-need-leadership.html
Friday, October 10, 2008. I'm watching Hank Paulson talk about the global economy and the downturn that we have been facing. Here is one issue that I have with Hank.I am seeing the top of his head more than his face. He is reading a script. Now, I know that not everyone is the best public speaker.but come on. Look us in the eye when you are giving it to us. Guess that goes into the dark matter world and hopefully everyone forgets about it right? Give me a leader! That is all that we really need.a tru...

The Financial Bullet: April 2008

Saturday, April 5, 2008. Great News For Fannie and Freddie.Almost. Finally, Fannie and Freddie have been cleared to open up their coffers, reduce the amount of reserves they need to carry and able to invest in more expensive mortgages in high cost areas. This is great news. Now the biggest and second largest mortgage investors in the country can really put more people into homes. Right? By the news releases and market responses you sure would think so. Not familiar with PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance)?

The Financial Bullet: September 2008
http://thefinancialbullet.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 27, 2008. I have been quiet for the last few months. Writing here has become more of a chore than a joy and that is pretty much why this blog is dead. I'm ok with that. No one read it anyway. But I worked for a credit union in the mortgage department and get asked every hour on the hour what do I think about all of this. I not going to get into derivatives, credit default swaps, or mortgage backed securities. 3) What happened to moral hazard. Must be having a nice laugh about right now.

Friday, November 7, 2008. I know like many, I am happy that the whole campaign session is over. We could not watch television without being bombarded by commercials for one politician or another saying Lord knows what about each other. It was sickening, maddening, and annoying. Now the world is back in order and we can return to watching commericals for Levitra, Cialis, and Viagra. Three more pricks trying to get your vote. Posted by Mike Carpenter. Links to this post.
