Citi’s (C) Assets Now Worth More Than You Pay for Them
Citigroup (NYSE:C) failed bid for Wachovia (NYSE:WB) would have expanded Citi’s deposit base and upgraded their bank infrastructure. But Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) swooped in and offered Wachovia $6 more a share and Citi’s plan went up in smoke as did it’s share price. But Citi is great value right now, according to Andrew Gordon.
Private-Equity Firms Could Make a Killing from the Bailout
The markets haven’t exactly soared on the passing of the bailout bill. But Andrew Gordon says some firms are going to make huge profits from the bill.
Andrew says, “Real estate companies, hedge funds, and private-equity firms have raised tens of billions this year alone for the specific purpose of buying distressed debt. The bailout is about to kick off the biggest fire sale of real estate in US history.“
However, these firms may also inherit heaps of bad debt if they don’t do their research properly. There will be plenty of big losers for every big winner from this bailout.
Why Brazil Is the Best of the BRICs
The turmoil in US stock markets is making all the headlines. But BRIC nations are facing a much deeper crisis in their stock markets.
On Monday, authorities halted trading on Brazil’s Bovespa for 30 minutes after it tumbled 10%. Trading in Russia was frozen on several occasions in the last two weeks to prevent an all-out collapse of the market. And China’s CSI Index has lost 58% of its value so far this year.
Despite recent setbacks, however, Andrew Gordon reckons Brazil is the most likely of the pack to weather the current financial storm
How to Buy Small Businesses for Free
The financial sector continues to bleed out. But only part of the financial sector is on death watch, says Andrew Gordon in Investor’s Daily Edge. Small banks are doing better than ever. Some of them have price-to-book ratios of less than one. That means their going for free!
10 Short Plays to Profit from Dollar Rally
The US dollar index has jumped 10% since early July.
This has had a negative effect on commodity prices. It has also brought considerable relief to consumers in the form of lower gas prices.
However, US exporters have watched their products become 10% more expensive in just two months.
Andrew Gordon says shorting US stocks with a heavy reliance on overseas sales is a great way to profit from US dollar strength. He lists the ten companies most vulnerable to further gains in the buck.
Falling Gas Prices Won’t Help Retail Sector Much
As Wall Street falls deeper into a black hole of its own making there’s a glimmer of hope for the economy in lower gas prices.
Lower gas prices, the theory goes, should translate into a bump in spending. This would be a big boon to the retail sector in the run-up to the Christmas buying season.
Andrew Gordon is skeptical of this analysis. He says the real savings per household will be too small to make any real difference to consumer spending, even though he expects gas prices to continue their fall.
The Government Can’t Protect Wall Street Forever
A massive number of bankruptcies in the financial sector. Hundreds of failed banks. Hundreds of hedge funds will fall. And some of these banks and hedge funds will be among the big boys. These are all very likely future scenarios, says Andrew Gordon. The government can’t protect Wall Street forever…
Auto Sector Slump Means Downturn Looks Set to Stay
Andrew Gordon says people who think a housing market recovery will spark a wider economic revival have got it the wrong way round. Until people stop losing their jobs and can afford to splash out on inexpensive items they’re not going to buy houses. Auto sales provide a better economic barometer. The sector is heading for its worse year since the early ’90s. Things are still looking glum…
Why Wells Fargo (WFC) Is Now the Envy of Wall Street
Everyone wants a piece of the action when an asset is booming. But once you’ve entered a bubble, you have to know how to get out before it bursts. Securitized debt and real estate are good examples. Andrew Gorden says the companies that stayed away from these bubbles - companies such as Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) bank - are now the envy of those facing the mother of all hangovers.
What the Big Mac Index Says About the Dollar
Andrew Gordon in Investor’s Daily Edge says The Economist’s Big Mac Index shows that the most overvalued currencies are currently all European. And the world’s most undervalued currencies are mostly Asian. It also signals that the dollar is overvalued against its Asian counterparts…
