Rumor: GS is about to report their second-best quarter in history, +$12 billion or so…

Financials are way too strong. Meredith Whitney was right: Dont short financials before the earnings.
"Banks will make a little money, as little as a penny a share, but they won’t lose money."
For that reason, she said investors should be careful shorting—or betting on further declines—in bank stocks right now.
"Lay off on shorts, and don’t buy into selloffs," Whitney said. "The fundamentals are not getting any better but capital ratios should get better."
http://www.cnbc.com/id/30073339
I think her point here is that there were plenty of warning signs by bashers, and the biggest red flag (SEC halt 3/13/2000) on ECNC board, too. but the "true longs" kept ignoring the SEC warning (halt #1) and bashers' red flags there too, they kept the "faith" and continued averaging down. one of them was a lawyer from Chicago who outsmarted himself by ignoring the facts presented by bashers and kept throwing good money after bad money.
most of the folks here, except for a few whack-jobs, are good honest people. they are scam victims who admit they were conned and it would be wrong to continuously rub it in their face by calling them idiot, stuckholder, etc. with arrogance.
in other words.. do onto others as you would want done onto you.
that's how I took her post.

I have been watching that page for months, every night. and always, their Nasdaq quote is lower than the actual.
Question: do you know why CNBC shows Nasdaq at 1340.28 in here?
http://www.cnbc.com/id/17689937/site/14081545/
it's always like that (shows Nasdaq lower) in the "futures" page, but their DOW and S&P is accurate
obviously Nasdaq closed at 1652 Friday.
anyone knows why? thanks

What happened to LJPC in A/H yesterday?

Fed Said to Order Banks to Stay Mum on ‘Stress Test’ Results
April 10 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Federal Reserve has told
Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Citigroup Inc. and other banks to keep
mum on the results of “stress tests” that will gauge their
ability to weather the recession, people familiar with the
matter said.
The Fed wants to ensure that the report cards don’t leak
during earnings conference calls scheduled for this month. Such
a scenario might push stock prices lower for banks perceived as
weak and interfere with the government’s plan to release the
results in an orderly fashion later this month.
“If you allow banks to talk about it, people are just
going to assume that the ones that don’t comment about it
failed,” said Paul Miller, an analyst at FBR Capital Markets in
Arlington, Virginia.
Regulators are using the tests to determine whether the 19
biggest banks have enough capital to cover loan losses during
the next two years if the economy shrinks, unemployment surges
and housing prices keep declining. The tests are a linchpin of
the plan Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner announced in
February to bolster confidence in the nation’s banks and restore
financial-market stability.
Geithner has likened the stress tests to those used by
doctors to evaluate a patient’s health. They’re designed to mesh
with the administration’s effort to remove distressed mortgage
assets from banks’ balance sheets. The Fed is overseeing the
administration of the tests, people briefed on the matter say.
Progress Report
President Barack Obama is scheduled to get a progress
report on the tests today during a meeting with his economic
team. Geithner will attend, along with Federal Reserve Chairman
Ben S. Bernanke and Sheila Bair, chairman of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corp.
Goldman Sachs plans to report first-quarter earnings April
14, followed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. on April 16. Citigroup
reports April 17, and Morgan Stanley announces April 21. All
four banks are based in New York.
Spokesman for the banks declined to comment.
“No matter what the result, the stress tests are going to
move markets,” Camden Fine, president of the Independent
Community Bankers of America, said in an interview yesterday.
“That’s the tricky part. If they don’t give out enough
information or the information is presented in the wrong way,
that could cause markets to plunge.”
Silent on ‘Process’
Banks should stay silent because a focus on the tests would
be “a harmful distraction” from earnings, said Scott Talbott,
senior vice president for government affairs at the Financial
Services Roundtable in Washington.
“It is premature for banks to talk about the stress
tests,” Talbott said yesterday. “They aren’t finalized yet and
there is no framework to evaluate the results.”
Wells Fargo & Co. Chief Financial Officer Howard Atkins
declined to discuss the tests yesterday after his bank reported
a record first-quarter profit that beat the most optimistic Wall
Street estimates.
“We haven’t commented on regulatory matters and we won’t
start now,” Atkins said in an interview. “We don’t comment on
the process.”
In a separate interview later, Wells Fargo spokeswoman
Julia Tunis Bernard declined to say whether the bank had been
told by regulators to keep silent. “We don’t comment on our
discussions and conversations with regulators and officials,”
she said.
Under the Treasury’s plan, banks would have six months
after the reviews to raise any new capital they might need. If
the money isn’t obtained from private investors, the government
will provide the funds from the $700 billion bank-rescue plan.

Citigroup Says Buy Bank Puts Because Rally Will Fade

I think the government sees these leveraged ETF's as part of the problem to blame for the market meltdown, and they're on a mission to destroy them. I have seen Cramer bashing SKF many times, maybe the SEC is finally listening to him.
here's one example:
Do you really think charting these triple leveraged inverse ETF's will work to predict the future??
Try charting the underlying index/stocks (ie: RIFIN) instead, and let us know what your chart says ;)

G20 leaders have a solid plan to improve the economy;
LOL...
G20 leaders get 11 minutes each to save capitalism
Commentary: Minute by minute at the global summit
By MarketWatch
Last update: 6:05 a.m. EDT April 2, 2009Comments: 74
LONDON (MarketWatch) -- Global leaders gathered in London at the G20 summit to save the world's economy are spending more time arriving, eating, and posing for pictures than they are actually discussing the crisis as a group.
Officially, President Obama, U.K. Prime Minister Brown, German Chancellor Merkel and the rest will be together from 7:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. See related story.
Of that eight hours, or 480 minutes, the first 55 were devoted to arrivals. The next 90 minutes were spent on breakfast, according to the summit schedule. At the 150 minute mark the leaders got together for the all important "family photograph."
Finally, at 10:20 a.m., nearly three hours into the event, the plenary session was slated to start, all 160 minutes of it.
All told the schedule shows 260 minutes for the mechanics of getting the leaders in, feeding them and taking their pictures, and 220 minutes for plenary sessions to talk about the crisis.
If one assumes everybody gets the same amount of time to talk, that gives each of the 20 world leaders exactly 11 minutes of floor time. But there's a catch. There are actually 30 attendees listed on the conference schedule, including the leaders of organizations like the Association of South East Asian Nations, the Financial Stability Forum, the International Monetary Fund, and so on.
So, assuming the equal time rule applies, each leader really gets a little over 7 minutes to convince the others about whatever their plan is for stimulus spending, financial regulation, boosting the IMF, or a global currency.
Throw in a few gasbags -- these are politicians after all -- and the whole schedule goes off the tracks.
Of course, informal time to network is important at any big gathering, so the real business of arm twisting and deal making will be getting done over the salad and entrees.
Absent the rhetorical skills of Lincoln, or skill as a hypnotist, the actual G20 gathering will be an afterthought to the posturing that went on before. Fortunately, the world's problems won't be going away any time soon, and the leaders will be able to get together for breakfast and lunch again in the near future.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this M2M crap is more than just stupidity. It is an outright fraud, ain't it?
Mark-to-Market for dummies
Lets say you own a 1988 Dodge Aries K-car. Its got 157,000 miles on it. It is pretty banged up - lots of dents, rusting paint and when you start it up, black smoke comes out of the tailpipe. You would love to sell this but there are not many buyers for Dodge K-cars and they don’t sell often. You look on Ebay and see one sold about 3 months ago for $1500. You think this price is way too low - after all, this is one fine automobile (chicks really dig it).
Now, you are about to fill out a loan application to buy one of those foreclosed houses that was built in Florida on a old landfill. To see if you are qualified for the loan, the banker wants you to list all your assets and what they are worth. When you list your K-car, you are torn about what to write down for its value. You know it has to be worth more than the $1500 that the one on Ebay sold for. Heck, if you just wait long enough, someone is bound to come along and pay you $25,000.
Under current FASB rules, you need to value that K-Car at $1500. But if they relax the mark-to-market rules tomorrow, then instantly your fine automobile is now worth 25 large. Now, you will be able to get that loan and buy that foreclosure and probably flip it in 6 months for a huge profit.
Make sure you send a thank you note to all those bank lobbyists in Washington that helped you get your loan.

With all the bad real estate news today, how can DJUSRE be up over 7% today is beyond comprehension.
OUCH
I don't know about R/S, they're not really stocks per se. they use options and swaps to trade.. I don't think I have ever seen any ETF to do a reverse split. they just go away when they get wiped out and start a new one.
Well, Direxion says the maximum it's ETF's can go down in one day is 75% (cap.)
so, if for example RIFIN goes up 40% in one day, FAZ will not go to zero in that day... but it eventually will.
I think I have seen at least 2 leveraged ETF's that have completely been wiped out and are in sub-micro penny now.
am Long FAZ , SRS
OUCH
lol
Time decay is destroying the leveraged ETF's
they will all eventually go to zero
And what would be the point?
"Receivership is used to denote a situation in which an institution or enterprise is being held by a receiver. In law, a receiver is a person "placed in the custodial responsibility for the property of others, including tangible and intangible assets and rights."
RE: I like the receivership idea.
I don't think even West makes any money from being the Chairman(LOL).
"Many are asking me to disclose my personal salary. Since this is a private company, I am not obligated to do so. However, since it is not a big secret, I will provide this information to you. Just before his resignation on March 29th of this year, the former Chairman of this Company gave me a new 3 year contract as sole officer and director of the Company at $10,000 per month. Since the Company was left with little more than $500 in the bank when I took over on March 29, 2007, the Company has relied upon loans put together by Bill Frizzell to continue to survive. Because most of this money has to be used in an effort to recover assets for continued survival, my personal income has been very minimal and has not been enough for my salary to be paid in full through July of this year."
CMKM Diamonds, Inc. CEO Update 12-12-07
He says he has not received any money for being the CEO.
"I have not received a single penny to date from CMKM Diamonds, Inc. The salary I was offered was $10,000 per month, but I have voluntarily deferred that salary for the time being..
...the position of CEO is not at this time, in my opinion, a full time position. Therefore, any compensation I receive will be pro-rated based on the amount of time required to perform"

I remember that too.
"Advanced Cell Technology Inc., based in Alameda, Calif., and Worcester, Mass., announced Aug. 23 that a team of its scientists had "successfully generated human embryonic stem cells using an approach that does not harm embryos."
An article on the research was published Aug. 23 in the online edition of the science journal Nature.
The technique involves removal of a single cell from an early, eight-cell embryo called a blastomere. The researchers claimed that the method has been successfully used in more than 1,000 cases of preimplantation genetic diagnosis, in which one cell is removed to test for genetic diseases and the embryo is implanted if no disease is found.
Up to now, stem-cell research involving the destruction of human embryos has taken place when the embryo is made up of about 150 cells.
But no embryo survived the research carried out by the Advanced Cell Technology scientists, Doerflinger said. Sixteen embryos were killed to retrieve 91 blastomeres, from which two stem-cell lines were derived, the research showed."
