      "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."
      Looks like Tobias will be left behind on the rally that began Friday.

      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 UAW is what has caused the demise of US auto companies. The government should not lend any money to GM until labor costs are inline with worldwide auto manufacturers.

      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.
      This should have been done months ago. Buy homebuilders.

      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.
      Be long is all I need to say.

      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.
      This very well may be the trigger for buyers to step in.

      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.
      reversals (recovery from a selloff) occur on oversold conditions ... the reasons will surface later

      Macy's (M): Q3 EPS of -$0.08 beats by $0.11. Revenue of $5.49B (-7.0%) in-line. Shares +9.1% premarket. (PR)

      Five Key Quotes from Home Inns on China's Outlook
      The FORWARD macroeconomic situation in China is yet to be determined. It would not be wise to load up on any Chinese stock. The bulk of the quoted statements are old news.

      The prosperity in China needs a long rest. The government's stimulus package has no guarantee of being enacted any time soon.

      the markets again are overbought

      Equities: Where Are the Bears?
      Buffet gets paid a 10% dividend to buy and hold. Do you? He is merely trying to influence the market in order to reduce his mark to market losses in long term Index PUT options. Or perhaps he is also writing more short term puts.

      Irrational Despair Is Creating Great Buying Opportunities in Two Chinese Companies
      APWR was a pink sheet stock before listing on the NASDAQ. APWR has pushed back the first delivery of their wind turbines thus the earnings forecasts will be adjusted downward. The backlog for power generation systems may be suspect due to canceled/extended contracts. Be wary of this stock.
