eBay's Weakening Bid
Anyone with additional funds should be buying up EBAY at these levels. Even though EBAY’s growth has slowed, they’re still tremendously profitable; have tons of cash; doing stock buybacks; the paypal is really profitable; skype should become more profitable and keeps growing tremendously; etc... etc... Also, with Craigslist, you’re taking your chances that the seller is legite. You have no protections. So EBAY is really the best place in many respects. Stock closed @ $12.36
An Ameritrade-E*Trade Merger? Not as Crazy as It Sounds
The $60 Trillion Nightmare of Credit Default Swaps
- If AIG & others have that much insurance in force, wouldn't they have to disclose it in their annual financial statemetns? Not saying you're wrong; just questioning the basis & accuracy for the $60 trillion figure you're throwing out. Also, what exactly would trigger coverage? Whose bonds are being covered? If it's Exxon's - not a big risk. Without any details, not very helpful.

Exxon Mobil: Bull or Bear?
Unfortunately, the biggest threat to Exxon's long-term survival is probably political risk. Namely, if Barack Hussein Obama wins, Exxon and others are in trouble. Barack Hussein Obama has said he is going to punish oil companies for high profits by over-taxing when he's elected President. If he does this, Exxon will produce less and profits will go down.
Will the U.S. Mortgage Market Keep PMI Group Down?
- PMI's in better shape than most people realize. At the current time, despite the worst of times, PMI is indeed cash flow positive. Per the press release, paid claims w/ at most be $975 bill for 2008. Per 1Q08 earnings release, annual revenues in 2008 will be approx $1.3 bill. Even throwing in some overhead, PMI is cash flow postive. Revenues come from very reliable sources; such as grade A bonds & in-force premiums. PMI closed at $4.27; just a fraction of its $20 or so book value.

Energy Stocks Are Too Cheap to Ignore - Barron's
- going thru Exxon-Mobil’s 2007 Annual Report:
• From ’03 to ’07 - # of shs o/s diluted went down from 6.7 bill to 5.6 bill; net inc per diluted share rose from $3.23 to $7.28
• Exxon makes money regardless of the price of oil. For instance, they sell lots of plastics & resins, if the price of oil falls, Exxon’s cost of goods sold goes down & their profit margins in these areas go up.
• In summary, given Exxon’s tremendous earnings & reduced share count, it seems to many that the stock price can easily exceed $100 share. Especially since Exxon is buying back about 1.4 million shares of stock every day. XOM closed at $78.33.
