The New World Of Investing SPDR KBW Regional Banking KRE ETF / Companies / Exchange Traded Funds
By: Guy_Lerner
In this new era where fundamentals seem to matter less and less, here is an ETF that seems to fit right in with that theme. It is the SPDR KBW Regional Banking (symbol: KRE) ETF.
It isn't lost on me that the local or Main Street economy is in the toilet.

Correction in Progress for Ford / Companies / Company Chart Analysis
By: Mike_Paulenoff
Those who have watched my work for a while know that I find channel analysis very useful (along with Bollinger Bands in many instances). For me, it is no coincidence that Ford (NYSE: F) hit the upper channel line at around 9.05 and then accelerated 1% above the upper line, which happens to be 9.14, after which the price structure reversed and declined back into the confines of the channel.

Ford in High-Level Congestion / Companies / Company Chart Analysis
By: Mike_Paulenoff
All of the action in Ford (F) this week argues that the stock is carving out a high-level congestion pattern that should resolve to the upside in a thrust to 9.00/25 next. At this juncture, only a decline that breaks the recent pullback low at 8.17 will morph the congestion pattern into a deeper correction that projects to 7.85/75 prior to the emergence of another upleg.

Goldman’s Undisclosed Role in AIG’s Distress / Companies / Credit Crisis 2008
By: Janet_Tavakoli
Goldman wasn’t the only contributor to the systemic risk that nearly toppled the global financial markets, but it was the key contributor to the systemic risk posed by AIG’s near bankruptcy. When it came to the credit derivatives American International Group, Inc. (AIG) was required to mark‐to‐market, Goldman was the 800‐pound gorilla. Calls for billions of dollars in collateral pushed AIG to the edge of disaster.

U.S. Healthcare Legislation Investment Impact / Companies / Healthcare Sector
By: Richard_Shaw
Last night the U.S. House of Representatives brought us one large step closer to a national healthcare system. Investors should be cognizant of the financial effects that would follow.
In the extreme short-run, it would be reasonable to assume that the U.S. stock market would react negatively, although short-term price movements are often chaotic.
