Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know Newsby SA Editor Rachael Granby- Bank trio becomes duo. Wells Fargo (WFC) will become the largest U.S. bank by branches with its bid for Wachovia (WB), after Citigroup (C) withdrew from compromise negotiations late yesterday on concerns about the quality of some of Wachovia's assets. Wells Fargo, with a bid valued at $11.4B, expects the purchase to be completed by the end of the year, and denies it will have to absorb assets shakier than originally thought.
- Government considers next steps. As the financial crisis continues to worsen, the U.S. government is considering two dramatic steps to turn around, or at least slow, the damage: guaranteeing billions of dollars in bank debt and temporarily insuring all U.S. bank deposits. The moves, which would mark the government's most extensive intervention to date, are in discussion stages only.
- Credit stays frozen. As frozen credit markets refuse to thaw, the cost of default protection on corporate bonds reaches new global records amid investor concerns the credit crisis will trigger corporate failures as companies struggle to finance their businesses. Interbank lending remains limited, and borrowing from the Fed's expanded discount window continued its trend of setting new highs every week, as the total daily average rose to $420.2B vs. $367.8B last week.

Wednesday, October 15.Bullish Calls:Continental Resources (CLR) -- "This is a remarkable decline. All of the high quality ones are down so much, I can't go against it. This is where you pull the trigger.
3M (MMM) -- The moment this stock starts yielding 5%, I'm a buyer. Until then, keep your powder dry.Bearish Calls:Computer Sciences (CSC) -- This is a company that was going to be bought, but they passed up the chance. Now I don't want to buy it."Email continues...

China's Economy Is Stuck on the Runway
"One of the more frustrating elements of the market when thinking about its inability to generate any meaningful upward momentum," says investment strategist Tobias Levkovich, "is that sinking feeling that the traditional catalysts for a rally simply have failed to provide the fuel for such gains."
Sources say GM (GM) will negotiate a cut in its debt levels and seek new union work rules to boost its chances at a federal loan. GM will also try to delay a $7B payment to a union retiree health fund, drop additional brands and rework a deal with GMAC. (Bloomberg)
The builders' lobby pushes for "Fix Housing First," a $250B stimulus plan with tax credits for home purchases and a federal subsidy on mortgage rates. Critics say the plan is too expensive and overemphasizes home purchases vs. loan modifications.
Despite promising he'd leave the remaining $410B of remaining TARP funds for the incoming administration, Treasury's Henry Paulson is now considering using the rest of the money to stem foreclosures and to make it easier for households to borrow money.
Borrowing from the Fed's discount window fell dramatically over the past week, dropping below $300B on Wednesday for the first time in nearly two months. Meanwhile the Fed's balance sheet shrunk for the first time since the financial crisis erupted.
U.S. stocks are expected to open much higher after overnight bargain hunting drove overseas markets and futures higher. Gains, however, may be fleeting. "Apart from a decent set of results from Dell (DELL) after the bell, there's not much left to support such a reversal back up," GFT's Martin Slaney says.

Five Key Quotes from Home Inns on China's Outlook
The prosperity in China needs a long rest. The government's stimulus package has no guarantee of being enacted any time soon.
The unenviable job of revitalizing the U.S. economy will fall to whomever is elected president today. "I wouldn't want this job if you paid me $3 trillion a year," money manager Kathy Boyle says. "Whoever it is is just going to have egg on their faces two years from now."
