Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know Newsby SA Editor Rachael Granby- Bank trio becomes duo. Wells Fargo (WFC) will become the largest U.S. bank by branches with its bid for Wachovia (WB), after Citigroup (C) withdrew from compromise negotiations late yesterday on concerns about the quality of some of Wachovia's assets. Wells Fargo, with a bid valued at $11.4B, expects the purchase to be completed by the end of the year, and denies it will have to absorb assets shakier than originally thought.
- Government considers next steps. As the financial crisis continues to worsen, the U.S. government is considering two dramatic steps to turn around, or at least slow, the damage: guaranteeing billions of dollars in bank debt and temporarily insuring all U.S. bank deposits. The moves, which would mark the government's most extensive intervention to date, are in discussion stages only.
- Credit stays frozen. As frozen credit markets refuse to thaw, the cost of default protection on corporate bonds reaches new global records amid investor concerns the credit crisis will trigger corporate failures as companies struggle to finance their businesses. Interbank lending remains limited, and borrowing from the Fed's expanded discount window continued its trend of setting new highs every week, as the total daily average rose to $420.2B vs. $367.8B last week.

Tanker Stocks: Frontline Slashes Dividend
Isn't a 100% payout ratio dangerous for the longevity of a dividend??
Thnx!
Tanker Stocks: Frontline Slashes Dividend
Can someone shed some light on this for me? They're paying the dividend on Dec. 10. Once they have publicly committed to a dividend, can they still cancel it??

Sirius Investors Face Difficult Decisions: It All Boils Down to Faith
But for $240, it's a gamble with good rewards, *only* if $240 is a very small part of your portfolio. If this is your total monthly savings, rather buy a more established stock than a roller coaster like SIRI.

Sirius Investors Face Difficult Decisions: It All Boils Down to Faith
I'm unclear about one thing: Mel said not so long ago that he hopes it doesn't come down to him lending the company the money to pay back Feb's debt.
Does this mean he would realistically consider it??
In addition, I don't get this:
The board wants to dilute shares, yet at the same time have a reverse split? How the heck does that work? Doesn't one cancel the other out??

You cannot physically buy, sell or trade, or take possession of a company either.

How Will Sirius XM Refinance Its Debt Now?
Mel Kamazin stated at the Merrill Lynch 2008 Media Fall Preview that he hopes it doesn't come down to him lending the company money.
Does that mean he would be prepared to do that??
If yes, then at least worst case scenario he himself will finance the company to pay back it's debt in February.
So then what is there to worry about with regards to their Feb repayment?

Avoid Investment Scams - and Bad Advice
I receive no spam, get about 1-2 emails per month, with interesting and relevant write ups (granted, by the company). From the company newsletters I receive, it seems the company is slowly but surely increasing revenue and client base.
I haven't checked out their financials, nor do I own any shares (yet), but I think it is a company worth checking, albeit extremely closely, which I will do soon.
