Citibank Eight Months Later / Companies / Banking Stocks
By: James_Turk
I last wrote about Citibank eight months ago in an article entitled “Will Citibank Survive?” That article is still posted on MarketOracle.co.uk and can be read at the following link: http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article4088.html
To be precise, I should actually be saying “Citigroup” as the bank is only one part of this financial services behemoth. But I guess habits die hard. When I began my business career by joining a major New York City bank nearly forty years ago, banks were just that – banks. They were not the hodgepodge of businesses that many of them have become in their attempt to serve up a smorgasbord of financial services that are not necessarily interrelated.

By: Investment_U
David Fessler writes: This week, we're continuing our investigation of Obama's “New Energy for America” plan. This comprehensive document details the President-elect's roadmap for energy independence. [You can read the plan in its entirety here .]
Under the Obama administration, I expect there to be many profitable energy investment opportunities under what will likely be a very “green-friendly” four- or possibly eight-year timeframe. Many of the opportunities will arise from his focus on energy independence and corresponding energy infrastructure.

Stock Markets Crash to New Lows as Congress Says No to Auto Bailout / Companies / US Auto's
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Stock Markets crashed in the last hour following law makers saying NO to the $25 billion bailout requested by the big three US Auto corporations, Ford, General Motors and Chrysler, as the once thought of too big to fail are increasingly teetering at the brink of bankruptcy as law makers on capital Hill (Nancy Pelosi) had been seeking to allocate part of the $700 billion bank bailout funds at the auto industry so as to prevent bankruptcy and mass unemployment as a chain reaction hits suppliers that would impact on nearly 4 million US Jobs. Given the magnitude of the debts and losses of the big three, the initial estimates of $25 billion would soon have mushroomed to over $100 billion.Read full article... Read full article...

U.S. Auto Makers Driven towards Bankruptcy / Companies / US Auto's
By: Mark_OByrne
As auto manufacturers across the globe go to their respective governments, carrying empty fuel tanks hoping for a bail out, the shine has definitely dulled on platinum and palladium. Tumbling car sales in North America and Europe have contributed to a dramatic shift in investor sentiment towards these metals, which play a vital role in diesel and petrol catalysts in reducing emissions. Johnson Matthey said it expected demand from carmakers in North America for platinum to dip by 36% this year and palladium by 20%. This news coincides with Republican Senators in the US attacking carmaker's pleas for another $25bn bail out on top of the $25bn already in place for the big three US manufacturers.Read full article...

The Ramifications of Bankruptcy at GM, Ford, and Chrysler / Companies / US Auto's
By: David_Urban
Much is being made in the press about the financial problems at GM, Ford, and Chrysler.

A car was looked upon as a status symbol and along with the national highway system allowed Americans the freedom to travel and a symbol of wealth and stature. Read full article...

More Bailouts Coming, U.S. Automakers, Freddie Mac and Foreign Exporters / Companies / Credit Crisis Bailouts
By: Money_Morning
William Patalon III writes: This week is shaping up to be another active one on the bailout-and-financing front.
First and foremost, Congress returns to work this week to consider a once-unthinkable proposal: Put up billions in taxpayer-backed loans so that Detroit's “Big Three” can be saved. Expect a fight, however, as the bailout debate finally moves past banks to focus on General Motors Corp. ( GM ) , Ford Motor Co. ( F ) , and Chrysler Corp .

By: Investment_U
David Fessler writes: As is usually the case, I'm sitting here writing from my comfortable home office in rural northeast Pennsylvania. I often marvel at the fact that even from my remote location, I'm able to do research and submit copy over a broadband connection.
