Sorry, but not a believer in this rally, especially as it concerns entities which must own large volumes of fixed-income securities as assets. Seems quite impossible for expert fast-moving investment managers to navigate these crazy volatile waters, but insurance companies? Sorry, they are perhaps the most at risk due to interest rate fluctuations created by our haphazard government. So while actuarties can expertly manage an insurance company's liabilities, it is the too-large risk from the assets insurance companies must own which threatens them in such volatility. So while PRU mg...

don't like it when financial companies raise capital and it's not growth-related. And then there's that moronic Senator Reid's comments in everyone's head, about a "name that everyone knows" insurance company with a "on verge of going bankrupt" problem.

Prudential Financial Inc. (PRU) In a pure volatility play, I sold some puts on Wednesday and bought them back on Thursday for a gain of 60 cents a share. While this trade was shorter than most for me, every once in a while, we see something that looks like it can present a quick gain without exposing myself to risk for any extended period.

U.S. stocks wobbled Tuesday and ended the day mixed even as automakers reported improved auto sales and Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway said it would buy Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corp. Traders were reluctant to place big bets as they awaited the outcome of a two-day FOMC meeting which got underway Tuesday and Friday's monthly jobs report. Although expectations are the Fed would keep interest rates in the 0-0.25% range, Wall Street has been speculating if there would be a change of tone in the policy statement. <>On Tuesday, the 30-stock Dow Jones industrial average closed down 1...

CNinsure (CISG) - China's Version of Prudential? (PRU)

While I am seriously starting to question the need for any fundamental research anymore when stocks with the poorest decile of earnings (read: none) are performing as good, or better than those with the best (i.e. buy anything, it all goes up) I still need to pretend to have justification for buying ABC stock. For example I could of bought AIG (AIG) a few weeks ago, after a 20 to 1 reverse split (in normal times that is an extremely bearish thing) and made close to 200%... reasoning? You don't need any - bad fundamentals, good fundamentals; they all go up when central bankers throw money...
