Riddle me this: When is it good news when an analyst slashes his price target for a stock by 55%? Answer: When that “reduced” target price still represents a 59% gain. That’s precisely the scenario facing Companhia Vale do Rio Doce (ADR: RIO), the world’s biggest iron-ore producer.

The collapse this weekend of the once venerable investment bank, Lehman Brothers, will cost 26,000 financial-sector workers their jobs.
On top of that, the take-over of Merrill Lynch by Bank of America will mean pink slips for approximately 24,000 of Merrill’s employees.

American International Group Inc, the world’s biggest insurer, has announced it will replace CEO Martin Sullivan. The news comes after AIG reported record losses due to risky mortgage bets.
Sullivan follows the departure of a wave of Wall Street top execs, including the recent bloodletting at ailing investment bank Lehman Brothers.
“On Wall Street, after Bear Stearns fainted, the other financial firms took smelling salts,” says Bill Bonner in The Daily Reckoning.
