Daily Report for Tue, Dec 02, 2008 12/02/08   —  Markets Re-cap From Thursday Nov.20 (DJIA =7997.28) there was a substantial +10.4% lift to the 8829.04 close on Friday. So, while yesterday’s loss of -7.7% in the DJIA index was literally a melt-down, it only partially offset the previous four and a half day melt-up. Today promises higher equity pr...

Daily Report for Mon, Dec 01, 2008 12/01/08   —  Daily Report The blowing up of credit spreads, as seen in the attached graphic, is an indicator of the level of risk aversion in today's capital market.

Cara's Commentary & Community Chat, Fri., Nov. 28, 2008, 7:20am ET 11/28/08   —  After the Bear Stearns collapse, I pointed you to the reason the world is in financial crisis, which is that “the credit ring is broken”. Bankers and broker-dealers do not want you to know this.

Is there an honest cop in Canada?: The story of BCE 11/26/08   —  Why are the Canadian securities regulators and the financial editors turning a blind eye to the goings-on with the trading of BCE stock? Can’t they spot fraud when it’s sitting on the end of their noses?

Daily Report for Wed, Nov 26, 2008 11/26/08   —  With US Thanksgiving tomorrow, markets started winding down yesterday. Today is “Getaway Day” so the volume will be further reduced and on Friday the market is open only for three hours. This is a good time to take a break.

Daily Report for Tue, Nov 25, 2008 11/25/08   —  Yesterday was rally day in the US equity market. It started on Friday. The rally, which has come with higher volume, is likely to last through the Obama inauguration. Then the 4Q08 earnings will be reported and there will be a testing of the market strength. But, not until then, I believe.

Cara's Commentary & Community Chat, Tues., Nov. 25, 2008, 8:40am ET 11/25/08   —  I wrapped up the Week In Review on Sunday morning with the promise of a universal attitude adjustment. “Obama hopes, I hope, we all hope.” Yesterday and today, the global equity markets are enjoying what I called the A-Team rally. This might not be April 15, 1912, and we might not be sailing on t...

Cara's Commentary & Community Chat, Mon., Nov. 24, 2008, 9:21am ET 11/24/08   —  Yesterday, I received a letter that read, “I love your article....that is until your started tooting your own horn.

Week in Review #47 (2008-11-23) 11/23/08   —  Does anybody really think our culture is going to change overnight because of a little $55 trillion CDS problem?

Daily Report for Fri, Nov 21, 2008 11/21/08   —  Yesterday was a day of frustration. Right at the stroke of 3:00pm ET, the DJIA sat at 7900, down less than -100 points from the previous close.
