Hot Option Plays: Do Earnings Matter? Midday

Posted: 17 Jan 2013 11:17 AM PST

Cusick’s Corner 01-17-2013 Midday
The economic data was solid this morning, but the earnings data was mixed at best, which begs the question are they as important as we thought they would be?

Thursday, January 17, 2013
Bond futures look like they may not lose the safety net of quantitative easing as soon as many expected. Fed Chairman Bernanke has indicted that more easing may be needed to keep the economy on the path to a sustained recovery, and is concerned that pulling the rug out too soon may do more harm than good. The economy may, in fact, be doing better than expected, with today’s job and manufacturing activity reports expected to show improvement. Housing prices are at 4-5 … [visit DailyMarkets.com to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards or Best Credit Cards

Fed Governor Fisher: “Break Up TBTF Banks”

Posted: 17 Jan 2013 08:54 AM PST

Three days ago I wrote how strongly I believe that the Wall Street landscape needs to be restructured. How so? I made my case in defining Wall Street as an oligopoly and Why Should the Banks Be Broken Up?
I concluded my commentary by highlighting that Dallas Federal Reserve governor Richard Fisher would be addressing this same topic on Wednesday evening. What did the good governor have to say? 
Let's navigate as Reuters reports,

U.S. authorities should break up the country's … [visit DailyMarkets.com to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards or Best Credit Cards

Calling All Auction-Rate Holders: OPEN FORUM

Posted: 17 Jan 2013 05:57 AM PST

We are now less than one month away from the five year anniversary of what I believe is the greatest fraud ever perpetrated on Wall Street. Regular readers know I am referencing the ARS (auction-rate securities) tragic debacle. I have been remiss in not addressing this situation for more than a few months and apologize for that.
Some past holders may wonder, "Is the ARS pain ongoing?" Indeed it is. Tens of billions of ARS remain outstanding. Some individuals and institutions still trapped … [visit DailyMarkets.com to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards or Best Credit Cards
