Hot Option Plays: China Watching Sequestration Midday

Posted: 04 Mar 2013 11:17 AM PST

Cusick’s Corner 03-04-2013 MiddayAfter watching the program “60 Minutes” last night, I now think that the Chinese are more worried about sequestration than we are in the US. If you missed that piece it was on the real estate boom in newly established cities in China that are becoming more of a potential bust, but I will let you draw your own conclusions on the piece. The reality is that the US Consumer spending is a huge driver in China, which as we know owns a ton of our debt, and if the … [visit DailyMarkets.com to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards or Best Credit Cards

Bears’ Pork Feast Coming To An End?

Posted: 04 Mar 2013 09:18 AM PST

Monday, March 4, 2013

A rebound in Live Cattle prices also may be spilling over into the Hog market, especially if supermarkets use lower wholesale prices to feature specials on pork, which could … [visit DailyMarkets.com to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards or Best Credit Cards

What Is “Too Big To Regulate?”

Posted: 04 Mar 2013 05:38 AM PST

Going on three years since the passage of the Dodd-Frank Financial Regulatory Reform legislation, aside from a few politicians and perhaps the head of the Federal Reserve nobody  – and I mean nobody — believes that our major financial institutions are anything but "too big to fail."
We have also learned that "too big to fail" has also come to encompass "too big to regulate" and "too big to prosecute" as well.
How is it that the banks have become "too big to … [visit DailyMarkets.com to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards or Best Credit Cards
