Which Credit Card Rewards Are Best For You?

Posted: 11 Apr 2011 07:27 AM PDT

We come into a very important week for the GBP. Two weeks ago, much of the news in the currency market revolved around the emergence of a split in the FOMC between the members hawks and doves. Last week, the focus was on the ECB's first interest rate hike since 2008. The Bank of England meanwhile has been delegated to the sidelines of the market's attention, though the releases last week proved to gyrate expectations over what the Bank of England will do next.

DryShips Remains Underperform

Posted: 11 Apr 2011 06:36 AM PDT

We reiterate our Underperform recommendation on DryShips Inc. (NASDAQ:DRYS). The company's fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 financial results were well below the Zacks Consensus Estimates. The drybulk shipping industry is facing serious challenges, where the vessel rate collapsed even below the rate during the recession.

Is Capitalism Dead?

Posted: 11 Apr 2011 06:20 AM PDT

While Uncle Sam in the persons of Ben Bernanke, Tim Geithner et al may promote the fact that our capital markets currently are a reflection of a rebound in capitalism, they would be wrong.
Our markets and the Wall Street banks that dominate them no more embody the true tenets of capitalism than the incestuous nature of the Wall Street-Washington relationship truly represents the best interests of the American public.  As The New York Times highlighted this weekend, Banks Are Off the … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Balance Transfer Credit Cards

USD Gains As Gov’t Avoids Shutdown, EUR Eases Off Friday Highs, Aftershock Boosts JPY
