Bingo Calls

We have felt like involuntary bungee jumpers over the last week, praying for the cord to tighten before we hit the concrete. This week sees old themes get rehashed but with Thanksgiving coming it's most likely to be a short term lottery, indeed many of the numbers before us might as well have been drawn from a basket. However as alternatives to the traditional Bingo calls, TMM would like to suggest more pertinent alternatives

Wouldn't get too carried away.I get the distinct impression that prior to any US fiscal resolution we just have traders playing with other traders which isn't very meaningful beyond the few days that each manages to get some momentum going at the cost to the otherside.Each side will be loking at thanksgiving and neither will wish to be the turkey on that day.

Usually the Friday is a mickey mouse low volume day for tiny punters to buy the latest momo stock, and then they sell it on the Monday...

This year the negotiations on the Hill may have an influence, so we may have to pay attention.

Haircut for HPQ this morning. Leo Apotheker, the gift that keeps on giving... a chimpanzee eating bananas all day would have made a better CEO than either Fiorina or Apotheker. What a train wreck.

what a disaster 'value' stock HPQ has been. No wonder Buffet stays away from tech. Aside from the CEO, the board should be fired as well. Im sure some activist investor will start nibbiling soon. Apparently they still have a decent sized service segment that is doing ok

That is not quite correct. Buffet holds a close to 6% stake in IBM (if you consider Big Blue still as tech).

Any Kevlar love for HPQ? LB doesn't fancy this one, wouldn't touch it with your gloves....

Rates higher, perhaps on The Bernank's failure today to overtly pledge an extension of Operation Twist and the buying of long-dated Treasuries. QE3 currently slated to be directed towards purchases of MBS.

I think we're overdue for an indepth take on Japan,options etc etc.
They look to be on the verge of supplanting Europe as the basketcase de jour.

I have my own favourite of course which would be a devaluation of the yen. If there is any other solution for them that might work I don't see it.
Pressures going to keep building here right up to that Jackson Five moment (can you feel it ,can you feel it).
