I'm looking at alcoa's stock right now. Partially because I own a few shares and am a glutton for punishment, partly because I'm thinking it just can't go any lower. Also looking at ACH, with pretty much the same story. 2 stocks way past their lows. [more]

RELATED TICKERS: NVDA
I'm not sure why NVDA has fallen so far. But I'm looking at their financial statement and they have nearly have 1.5B in cash, which is nearly $3/share for a $7 stock. If i had that much money on hand, I'd continue to spend on R&D to take the lead in technology, while poaching some top talent from competitiors who arn't doing so well like ATI. [more]

It seems like everyday they open their mouth, the stock market goes down. Doesn't seem to matter what they say. It could be some brilliant plan or the state of our financial system. Either way, it's always viewed as negative and stocks are pretty much garenteed to go down. I wish I had a schedule of times they are publicly scheduled to speak. I'd short all the bad stocks I know of the day before and reap the rewards. [more]

With all these massive drops in stock prices, utilities appear to be the way to go for a safer bet.
Unlike financials where we can't really see if it's the bottom or not, or other markets that depend on commercial paper. Utilities are in a position where although they can't grow their business by borrowing the massive amounts of capital to build new power plants, thus the drop in stock price. However, they do provide safety in that they hold monopolies in the transmission lines in their local markets. [more]

Heard an NPR store with a layman's explaination of how a Credit Default Swap worked. The pratice of Netting seems like it'll be the final straw that'll tip our economy over. [more]
