Peek Paper Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 1:25 (Dow Jones) Bear Stearns sees a coming shift in sentiment - and arising stock market. "We believe that equities are poised for a move forward, driven by Fed rate cuts, fiscal stimulus and credit markets beginning to renormalize," anal cyst Jonathan Golub says. "In conjunction with a market rebound, we expect a rotation toward cyclical areas and away from defensive areas." The defensive areas especially include utilities, which Golub downgraded to market underweight from market weight.

potatohead Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Nothing wrong here....move along... DJ Nuclear Reactors Still Down After Florida Power Outage -AFP MIAMI (AFP)--Power officials said Wednesday two nuclear reactors in southern Florida remained shut down, one day after a massive blackout darkened millions of homes across the state. "The reactors still are not running," said Karen Visepo, spokeswoman for Florida Power and Light, a unit of FPL Group Inc. (FPL) and the company responsible for providing power in southern Florida. The disabled reactors at the Turkey Point nuclear power plant were unlikely to cause new blackouts, she said, but workers labored feverishly to get them operating again. "Getting them up and running again is a slow process," Visepo said. Tuesday's massive power outage left millions of people in southern Florida without electricity for several hours. The power outage Tuesday stretched across a wide swath of Florida, from Miami in the south to Daytona Beach mid-state, causing traffic jams, forcing schools to lock down, and prompting stores to close. Officials said the outage was caused by a malfunctioning switch at a power substation near Miami. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission said in a statement it was looking into possible violations of federal rules, as it consulted with other U.S. agencies. The outage was the country's biggest since August 2003, when about 50 million people were left without power across the northeastern U.S. and Canada, plunging New York City into darkness and halting its subway network.

cwd Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 A good piece on some of the problems facing the miners. Global shortage of metals looming Submitted by cpowell on 04:57PM ET Monday, February 25, 2008. Section: Daily Dispatches By Peter Hodson National Post / Financial Post, Toronto Monday, February 25, 2008 http://www.financialpost.com/trading_desk/....html?id=333806 Our peak oil thesis gained some new respect last week as oil prices hit yet another record, the first close over US$100 per barrel. Demand fluctuates, but it is all about supply, and supply concerns this week showed how tight the market really is. Peak oil has lots of press, but what about peak copper? Peak zinc? Peak gold? Sounds preposterous, but maybe it's not so far-fetched. Nearly every commodity is experiencing some supply issues, for a host of reasons. Add it all up, and it means potential supply shortages in the future. Demand may slacken this year, but in the next 10 years today's high commodity prices may actually look like a bargain. Let's take a look at some of the issues facing commodity projects today, and give some examples of companies that have already been impacted by them. Cost overruns: Inflation, equipment shortages, and labour issues have combined to wreak havoc on so many new commodity projects that long-term supply issues may result. Simply put, because of inflation, a commodity project that appeared economical two years ago may no longer be viable. Case in point: Novagold's (NG/TSX) Galore Creek project in British Columbia. Costs estimated at $2.5-billion a year or so ago escalated to more than $4-billion. The cost overruns have put the project on hold despite high copper and gold prices. That means an expected 432 million pounds of copper production a year is not going to hit the market anytime soon. Newmont this month said its Boddington gold mine in Australia was experiencing 77% cost overruns. Petaquilla's copper project in Panama is in a similar situation, with costs soaring to $3.5-billion.

cwd Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 No wonder gold is at ATHs. Kohn Says Fed Weighs Need for More Rate Cuts By Jim Brumm Reuters Tuesday, February 26, 2008 http://www.reuters.com/article/ousiv/idUSN2636487720080226 WILMINGTON, North Carolina -- A top Federal Reserve official said on Tuesday that a weakened U.S. economy was a bigger worry than higher inflation, suggesting a willingness to lower interest rates further as the central bank tackles "difficult times." "I do not expect the recent elevated inflation rates to persist," Fed Vice Chairman Donald Kohn told business school students at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. "In my view, the adverse dynamics of the financial markets and the economy have presented the greater threat to economic welfare in the United States," he said.

The scary thing is this has been thought of and tried many times before under different guises. Zimbabwe, Uganda, Turkey, Argentina, Weimar. Have a read of Fed Vice Chairman Donald Kohn?s speech from Monday ?I expect the run-up in headline inflation to be reversed and core inflation to edge lower over the next few years. This projection assumes that energy and other commodity prices will level out, as suggested by the futures markets. Moreover, greater slack in the economy should reduce pressure on prices and wages. Despite high resource utilization over the past couple of years and periods of elevated headline inflation, labor cost increases have remained quite moderate, and inflation expectations remain reasonably well anchored.?
