This is how things have shaped up through the first quarter for my 2011 stock picks. (For a look at my original picks, see here: part 1, part 2,...

<>Two weeks have passed since I raised questions about the insider selling at Oracle (ORCL). Since that time, management continues to sell as the stock hovers around its 52-week high, and it has appeared in the top five of Barron's insider activity list sell side...

Filed under: Other Issues, Market Matters, Citigroup Inc. (C), Bank of America (BAC), Options, Chasing Value[TM], Stocks to Buy, Stock Picks  Since the early spring, when the government announced it would start selling its shares of Citigroup, Inc. (C) stock, there has been downward pressure on the shares. At the time of the announcement it was reported that all of the government's 27% stake in the company will have been sold off before the end of the year. There is no certainty of that, after all it is the government, but it would not likely be too long after that.
This raises a lot of questi...

Deutsche Bank Gets Safety Net from German Government

Filed under: Short Stories, Stocks to Buy  Deutsche Bank (DB) has been suffering from many of the same ailments -- a falling housing market, tightening credit markets, countries threatening to default on their bonds -- that have been plaguing other too-big-to-fail banks around the globe. But now Deutsche Bank has one key advantage over all of these other banks: the German government.
The German government -- via the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority -- announced that it is placing a ban on naked short selling on key financial instruments until March 31, 2011. The ban covers naked short s...

Upcoming fire sale by the Fed. This is the contrarian jackpot ladies and gentlemen. Take a look at the chart for Friday March 19, 2010 (60m trade before close). I think this is the way the fed may unload shares, piece by piece, although on a larger scale, since 60 million shares per day would take over 120 trading days. And if ONE batch dropped the price by 1.6% what would happen when the Fed puts out the for sale sign. A nightmare of epic proportions at first glance. Since this is evident to a 3rd grader, why would anyone risk money in this stock? Taking into account the general uncertain...

C 's loss of $0.33 per share is merely the payback being factored into the balance sheet. The credit losses were only $800 million. As per Marketwatch.com reports, also > ""Provisions and charge-offs were lower than we expected, suggesting that Citi's 's outlook for its loan book has improved, particularly in corporate and international portfolios," Standard & Poor's analysts said in report to clients on Tuesday. "We think the pace of reserve building will continue to slow, allowing for an earnings improvement in 2010, the analysts concluded."" Foreclosures will barrel ...

Nov. 2 (Bloomberg) -- CIT Group Inc., the 101-year-old commercial lender that saw its funding dry up in the credit crunch, filed for bankruptcy in an effort to cut $10 billion in debt following a failed debt exchange and U.S. taxpayer bailout. CIT listed $71 billion in assets and $64.9 billion in liabilities in a Chapter 11 petition yesterday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan. The Treasury Department said the government probably won’t recover much, if any, of the $2.3 billion in taxpayer money that went to CIT.

Well shares of Citigroup are at a market low this morning in the wake of their weak Q3 report, but you can guarantee they will not stay that way for long. If you are looking for a good financial buy in , then this would be a good time to join the herd of vultures that are snatching these stocks up at bargain prices this morning. Currently city banks volum ticker is headed toward sixty million fast with a buy for almost every sell, and citigroup is holding at 4.62 a little below my previous estimate of 4.68 so get in quick if you want them. Happy stocking...

<> Wow did Citigroup take a kick in the gut this quarter with their Q3 earnings report, but if there is one thing we count on, it's that this big boy of banking will not stay down for long. With a slowly falling price tag Citigroup can mean quick gains for bargain hunters looking to buy in. As soon as the initial stinging numbness of this quarters financial report wears off, this stock will be just as popular as it ever was. So if you have been waiting to hold a commodity in the financial sector and you can't afford the big price tag of a "JP More-gain" Then you can buy into this baby for a...
