Warning Will Robinson – Danger, Danger….
Dear Old Dan has just advised that one of his small cap picks – making fuel cells – has lost millions of dollars in mortgage backed securities.
Seems to have stuffed the finances / working capital of the company.
Good example of how wide-reaching this sub-prime deal goes – why didn’t the idiots invest their millions on speeding up production of the fuel cell ???
Thanks Travis, for the explanation on where to invest on multiple listings it was very informative.
Also a personal thought – the share market crawls up over decades when purchases are made from savings – the last decade it has screamed almost vertically, (compared to 1929 > 1999), due I guess to the easy credit – borrow at 8% (?) invest in shares and get 200% / 300% / 400% inceases.
I imagine the profits from bundling sub primes also got invested back in the market ($60 trillion ?) – otherwise where did this money go – other than fat cat salaries ?
What is happening now is the stock price has fallen, the loan is still there = sell the shares to repay the loan = lower prices accross the spectrum.
In a total market decline like this even the good companies will fall eventually / continually so unless you have a plan to buy at $20 & sell at $30 you are being set up for a fall over the next year.
The $700+ prices for Google will not be seen again in this decade – more likely +/- $200… because the money supply to fund that sort of purchase at $700 has evaporated.
No doubt there may be a slight recovery between now & April next year but when the Alt-A loans start to fail the next downward slide will begin and hello 3500 – 4500 on the Dow.
Too early to say “Happy Christmas” ?

If you mean the 13F disbursement teaser, it’s just about following the moves of big investors — they file 13F forms with the SEC. I wrote about the latest one of these teasers here:

For Jane G: Scottrade can buy your stocks on the Canadian Exchange(s?)for $27 USD each way. Do not know if they intend to expand this in the future to other countries. (Everything I have been interested in is on the TSX.)

If you want to buy stocks on foreign exchanges at Schwab’s, you are charged a minimum fee of $100 both buying and selling. You cannot trade on line for them. Other than establishing accounts in foreign countries, are there other ways to buy these non-ADR stocks at a fair price?
