Goldman Sachs "Financial Fraud!" What a Happy Noise. Revenge is Sweet / Companies / Credit Crisis 2010
By: Mike_Whitney
Schadenfreude. The pleasure derived from watching someone else suffer. It's human nature and it's what's what's driving the Goldman pile-on. SEC Enforcement director Robert Khuzami had barely uttered his statement on Friday, before the the yelps of joy arose from every corner of the country. "Fraud!" What a happy noise. Revenge is sweet. Suddenly the prospect of subpoenas, indictments, and long prison sentences didn't seem so remote. But don't get your hopes up. Goldman was picked for a reason, and that reason has nothing to do with its shady business transactions. It's politics.

Should GS violate and sustain beneath the support plateau, the measured downside target is 110-100.

Bad Banks, Are There More Cockroaches in the Kitchen? / Companies / Credit Crisis 2010
By: Hans_Wagner
If you have you ever seen a cockroach in the kitchen, you know there are more than what you see. The same concept applies to improper financial activity by companies. When you find one bad action, you will more than likely find others. The Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) is suing Goldman Sachs for failure to disclose “vital information” regarding a synthetic collateralized debt obligation, named Abacus 2007-ACI.

Sell the Homebuilders into Strength as SPX 500 Tests Highs / Companies / Housing Stocks
By: Richard_Gateway
As the SPX 500 rallies from the shallow correction Autobottrading.com warned of on April 15, the homebuilders are also trading higher, to levels where risk for investors is great. The Philadelphia Housing Sector Index ($HGX) has breached this year’s highs and is up, as of this writing on April 20th, over two percent. Despite the bullish price action, the sector is reaching very long term resistance levels which will likely halt and reverse the bullish advance which began last March. Autobottrading.com advises investors, long term position traders, and swing traders to use this strength to exit positions in the housing sector.

Going After Goldman: A Crackdown on Financial Crime or a Kabuki Play Maneuvre to Avoid Bringing Criminal Charges / Companies / Credit Crisis 2010
By: Danny_Schechter
Fox Business News was engrossed in interviewing a blonder than thou reality TV bimbo when the news that the Securities And Exchange Commission was filing fraud charges against Goldman Sachs broke on Friday afternoon.
The breaking news bulletins were already flying through cyberspace before the Fox Means Business network got around to moving from a snickering interview with a starlet confessing to commodifying and monetizing her appeal to the biggest story in months on the Street beat. Corporate fraud allegations seem to make free market boosters nervous.

Ford and Toyota, A Tale of Two Car Companies / Companies / Sector Analysis
By: Richard_Shaw
It’s spring time and we’re thinking about maybe getting a new car. That and the recent problems at Toyota, plus the strong sales at Ford, and the not to distant bankruptcy of GM and Chrysler, got us wondering how the car company stocks are doing — not that we are hot to own car company stocks (although we are hot to own a new car).

The End Game for the Goldman Sachs (GS) "Crisis" / Companies / Banking Stocks
By: Trader_Mark
If you are new to the market and think today was some sort of game changer... please don't worry. Malfeasance is now the root of the US casino, we go through one of these episodes every 3-5 years and come back stronger and more malfeasant! (I made that word up) That said, days like today are for enjoyment since they break up the normal - any day Goldman stock falls and Cramer gets exposed by a man never to see the CNBC light of day ever again is a day to cherish. But it changes nothing.

Ford Hurdles Key Resistance Level / Companies / Company Chart Analysis
By: Mike_Paulenoff
Today's strength in Ford (F) has hurdled key near-term resistance at 12.95, which triggered additional buying (short covering too?) that has propelled the stock to an intraday high at 13.30 so far. To the extent that F can hold and extend its early gains, my next immediate target is 13.45/55.

New UpMove for Halliburton / Companies / Company Chart Analysis
By: Mike_Paulenoff
Within the larger Jan-Apr coil pattern that we discussed yesterday in Halliburton (HAL), let's have a look at the hourly chart from the most recent pivot low (within the coil) at 29.25 from Mar 26. The weight of my technical work is telling me to regard the upmove from Mar 26 at 29.25 to the Apr 6 high at 32.43 as the start of a new upleg that should revisit the Jan high at 34.87. All of the action in HAL since the 32.43 high represents a sideways consolidation that is digesting the 11% upmove.

By: Keith_Schaefer

But Dale Dusterhoft, CEO of Trican Well Services in Calgary, Canada, says “we’re to a point now where we can offer a completely green fluid in some cases. We do “microtox” testing, which is very stringent. If a fluid passes that you can drink it, and we have fluids like that.”
