Friday Watch

Late-Night Headlines
Bloomberg:

- The Obama administration’s housing plan will use government money to help reduce interest rates for struggling borrowers, while asking lawmakers to approve more ways to modify mortgages, according to a person briefed on the proposal. U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner intends to make the plan public in coming days, possibly within a week, said the person, who declined to be identified before the announcement. Some elements can begin immediately, and others must be considered by Congress. The government will subsidize interest-rate reductions by working with the servicers that handle mortgages, the person said. That way, servicers can lower monthly payments for households without shortchanging investors. The new plan, which isn’t final and could change, would be voluntary for lenders and investors, the person said. It is aimed at loan modifications that have a positive net present value, meaning that the cost of a foreclosure would be higher than that of adjusting the loan terms. Like earlier efforts from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and housing industry groups, the new plan will make use of interest-rate reductions, loan extensions and so-called principal forbearance, in which part of a mortgage’s principal is deferred to the end of the loan’s term. All these measures will be used to help homeowners reach an affordable monthly payment, the person said. That monthly housing payment, compared with their income, will be the focus of the program, rather than achieving a target interest rate. Borrowers won’t need to be in foreclosure proceedings to take advantage of the program, the person said. The new program also will create a common standard for loan modifications, to replace the range of standards used in currently available programs. The new loan modification program will be combined with a push for more authority from Congress, the person said. The Obama administration wants to allow judges to change loan terms under some conditions, and it also wants to permit modifications on Federal Housing Administration and Veterans Administration loans, which currently can’t be changed. Community groups want to give judges the power to lower mortgage rates for borrowers in bankruptcy, a provision that the banking industry opposes. Investors have said this provision could cripple the secondary mortgage market and raise interest rates for all borrowers. President Barack Obama said on Feb. 10 that this proposal, commonly called “cramdown” authority, will not be part of the administration’s initial housing program. Obama said cramdowns are “one potential provision that has been discussed, that I’m supportive of, but is not in this package. It will be in a separate package.”

- Jim Chanos’s Kynikos Associates Ltd., a short seller of Fairfax Financial Holdings Ltd., learned of negative analyst research on that company before it was published, according to unsealed court documents. Chanos, Steven Cohen’s SAC Capital Advisors LLC and other hedge-fund managers were accused in 2006 by Fairfax of cooperating to drive down the firm’s shares through short sales, according to a complaint by Fairfax seeking $6 billion in damages. Toronto-based Fairfax owns U.S. and Canadian insurers. Chanos forwarded an e-mail about research by John Gwynn, an analyst with brokerage Morgan Keegan & Co., to rival SAC Capital, the documents show. Morgan Keegan fired Gwynn for telling clients before publication that he planned a negative report. Morgan Keegan and Gwynn were also sued. All defendants denied Fairfax’s claims. Fairfax filed that e-mail and others provided by the defendants with a New Jersey state court to support its claims.

- Global steel demand may take at least six months to recover as job losses slow in the U.S. and people resume buying cars and home appliances, said Paul Zuckerman, head of New Zealand’s second-biggest steelmaker. Crude steel production in China, the world’s largest maker of the alloy, fell 11 percent in December, the fourth straight decline from year earlier levels, the National Bureau of Statistics said yesterday. Stockpiles in Shanghai jumped 22 percent to 1.8 million tons last week, the highest since at least June 2006, according to Beijing Antaike Information Development Co. data.

- Total assets on the Federal Reserve’s consolidated balance sheet fell for the sixth straight week to $1.84 trillion as credit conditions improved, allowing banks to borrow in private markets. The Fed’s holdings of loans, bonds, short-term notes and commercial paper hit a record of $2.31 trillion on Dec. 17. Total assets stood at $1.85 trillion on Feb. 4 and $1.92 trillion on Jan. 28.

- Wells Fargo & Co.(WFC), the second-biggest U.S. home lender, said its fourth-quarter loss was wider than first reported because of additional costs tied to securities holdings.

- Individuals and political-action committees representing securities and investment firms contributed $146 million to federal political campaigns in 2007 and 2008, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a Washington-based research group that tracks money flows in U.S. politics.

- China, the world’s largest buyer of iron ore, will demand a bigger cut in prices from BHP Billiton Ltd. and Rio Tinto Group than from Brazil’s Cia. Vale do Rio Doce after shipping costs plunged, the nation’s steel association said.

- India’s rupee will weaken almost 10 percent to a record low of 54 to the dollar by the end of the year as the worldwide credit crisis curbs foreign direct investment, HSBC Holdings Plc said. The rupee may also extend last year’s 19 percent slide as employers cut jobs overseas amid a global recession, reducing remittances from Indian workers abroad, Richard Yetsenga, HSBC’s Hong Kong-based strategist, wrote in a research report today.

- Investors should lower their holdings in China stocks, Asia’s best performers in the last three months, and instead buy Taiwanese shares, UBS AG said. China was cut to “neutral” from “overweight” by Niall MacLeod, a Hong Kong-based strategist at UBS, as the market will “take a breather” after rallying since November. Taiwan was raised to “overweight” from “underweight” because technology shares may start to outperform, the strategist added.

Wall Street Journal:

- Private-equity firms and companies they own that want to buy back their troubled debt at a discount could reap a windfall from the economic-stimulus package headed for final votes in Congress. A measure to allow companies to defer income taxes when they repurchase their own debt at a discount made it into the final deal with the help of Sen. Max Baucus, the Montana Democrat who heads the Senate Finance Committee. The break will allow companies restructuring debt to defer possible taxes for as long as five years, then pay the taxes over the next five years.

- Eastern Europe, which narrowly survived the global financial crisis with help from the International Monetary Fund, now faces a second shock wave: Industry is slumping along with exports to Europe's wealthier West. Economic data for 2008's fourth quarter, due Friday, are expected to show growth collapsing in countries such as Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, which had coped relatively well with the crisis.

- High technology and diversified tech conglomerates that made efforts to shape the stimulus plan emerged as big winners in the draft bill expected to come up for a vote Friday. General Electric Co.(GE), whose chief executive, Jeff Immelt, serves as a White House adviser, will likely benefit from a dozen provisions in the bill, from appliance rebates to water-treatment spending and wind-energy tax breaks. Google(GOOG) Inc. and Microsoft Corp.(MSFT) stand to benefit from billions of dollars slated for technology infrastructure, environmental and educational projects aimed at improving U.S. competitiveness. The bill sets aside $4.4 billion to upgrade the nation's electrical grid, an issue championed by Google CEO Eric Schmidt, GE and other tech companies. Congress also set aside $19 billion for health information technology that would digitize health records and set privacy and data standards. Wind and solar power companies lobbied to win a tax break to encourage investment in renewable fuel. But the nuclear-energy industry lost a $50 billion loan-guarantee program that had been included in the legislation until late in the negotiations. Tech companies gained strong allies in environmentalists, who pushed for provisions including $8 billion for high-speed rail, $8.4 billion for public transit, $6 billion for clean drinking water programs and $5 billion for weatherization programs. The National Science Foundation will receive $3 billion for research funding, a move cheered by many in the high tech and science communities, which have bemoaned a lack of research funding in recent years. Intel Corp.(INTC), the chip giant, said it benefits in several ways from the package. Overall, many tech companies are indirect beneficiaries of the stimulus package as the government begins spending on a variety of new programs. PC makers, for example, could see modest revenue increases as government grants to update computer facilities in community colleges and other schools begin filtering out. Cisco Systems Inc.(CSCO), which makes gear for computer networks, hailed provisions in the bill that target "areas that we play in like broadband and health care and smart grids for electrical uses," Cisco Chief Executive John Chambers said recently in an interview. The bill allocates $7 billion to expand broadband access in areas with little or no Internet access, a potential boon for equipment manufacturers along with cable and phone companies.

- Wall Street banks may have precipitated the financial crisis. But hotel companies feel like they are the ones taking the blame. Congress has restricted corporate travel for companies that accept bailout money, and big corporations are canceling conferences out of fear that it will smack of conspicuous consumption. "Congress has done a great job of killing the resort hotel business with the way they've criticized the number of financial firms from having conferences," Loews Corp. Chief Executive Officer James Tisch said in a conference call with investors this week.

- New Hampshire Republican Sen. Judd Gregg withdrew from consideration as Commerce secretary Thursday, saying his differences with the Democratic White House ran too deep. The announcement was a fresh embarrassment for an administration rocked by a number of setbacks. While his recent predecessors each lost one or two early cabinet nominees, Mr. Obama has lost three less than a month into his term. And Mr. Gregg's withdrawal comes two days after a bank rescue plan was widely panned by financial markets and lawmakers from both parties, partly because of its lack of detail. Mr. Gregg said he and the administration "did not adequately focus" on policy disputes, citing the handling of the census and the stimulus package. Mr. Gregg was Mr. Obama's second choice for Commerce secretary; earlier, Democratic New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson pulled out following word of a grand-jury investigation into contracting practices in his office.

- President Obama’s inaugural address was long on somber warnings of tough days ahead, short on pretty pictures of paradise awaiting. Mr. Obama began talking of an economic slump that could last years, and using words such as "catastrophe" to describe what might unfold. This week, he talked of potentially irreversible damage to the economy. If the goal was to head off irrational exuberance, it worked. More than half the country now says it expects the recession to last as long as three years. A new poll from the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press shows that 30% of Americans now say the country is in a depression, up from 20% as recently as December. The grim language served another purpose: It was designed to create a sense of urgency in Congress to get the stimulus bill passed quickly. If Rome is burning, nobody would want to be seen doing too much fiddling. The flip side of containing exuberance is the risk of chilling confidence. And that's not a good thing when the biggest economic danger lying ahead is a vicious downward spiral in which Americans stop spending, prompting more layoffs, depressing spending further, producing more layoffs, with no obvious end in sight. Average Americans as well as the financial markets look more than a little scared right now. While that fear actually has been useful for Mr. Obama in pushing through the stimulus plan, it now may be time to engage in a little Franklin Roosevelt-style, all-we-have-to-fear-is-fear-itself soothing. It's worth remembering that the country survived some pretty horrific economic problems in 1974 and 1975, and again from 1980 to 1982. False hope isn't useful, but neither is a lack of hope.

- The nation faces a foreclosure crisis of historic proportions, and there is an understandable desire on the part of the federal government to "do something" to help. House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers's bill, which is moving swiftly through Congress (and companion legislation introduced by Sen. Richard Durbin) would allow bankruptcy judges to modify home mortgages by reducing both the interest rate and principal amount on the loan. This would be a profound mistake.

MarketWatch.com:
- Sector leaders in the U.S. natural-gas-production business are wrapping up their bleakest winter in years, and prospects are clouded by oversupply, icy credit markets and a global recession. This past week, U.S. natural-gas supplies stood at 2,020 billion cubic feet, or 44 billion cubic feet more than last year at this time and 24 billion cubic feet above the five-year average.

- Analysts say Hewlett-Packard(HPQ) will at the very least meet Wall Street's earnings and revenue forecast due to strength from its software and services business when the technology giant reports results on Wednesday.

- Microsoft Corp.(MSFT) on Thursday hired a 25-year veteran of Wal-Mart Stores Inc. to oversee the development and opening of the software giant's first retail stores.

CNBC.com:
- Rates on 30-year-fixed mortgages fell this week, offering homeowners a chance to refinance their loans, Freddie Mac said Thursday. The average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage dropped to 5.16 percent this week from 5.25 percent last week. A year ago, the 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage averaged 5.72 percent.

NY Times:

- Increasingly, many older people who live alone are not truly alone. They are being watched by a flurry of new technologies designed to enable them to live independently and avoid expensive trips to the emergency room or nursing homes.

CNNMoney.com:
- This comes from one Web metric among many, so take it with a grain of salt. But according to AdMob, one of the largest mobile Web ad networks, Apple’s (AAPL) handsets now dominate mobile Web traffic in almost every category. According to AdMob’s analysis of the billions of ad requests it saw in January: The iPhone OS now represents 51% of U.S. smartphone traffic, leaving RIM’s (RIMM) BlackBerry (19%) and Microsoft’s (MSFT) Windows Mobile (14%) in the dust.

Pensions&Investments:

- A stringent plan to regulate hedge funds’ leverage, capital and risk management that is backed by Obama adviser Paul Volcker won the support today of an influential Democratic senator. Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., chairman of the Senate Banking subcommittee on securities, said hedge fund oversight should go beyond proposals to register the pools with regulators. Registration would provide “a little more visibility into the hedge fund world, but nothing comprehensive,” Mr. Reed told a Brookings Institution conference in Washington.

AP:

- Congress is moving forward on an ambitious project to impose new government reins on the financial markets. A House panel on Thursday cleared a measure to expand regulation of complex financial instruments and the authority of a small federal agency. The legislation authored by Rep. Collin Peterson, D-Minn., chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, also would prohibit trading in credit default swaps — a form of insurance against loan defaults — in cases where investors don't own the underlying bonds. The legislation would require the use of clearinghouses to provide transparency for transactions in credit default swaps and other derivatives, the complex financial products that have ballooned in global trade and, critics say, pose a threat to the system's stability.

Reuters:

- YouTube, the hugely popular online video site, has renewed a global licensing deal with Sony Music Entertainment which allows it to continue showing music videos of artists like Beyonce and Avril Lavigne, people familiar with the talks said on Thursday.

Financial Times:
- France on Friday will press for tighter controls on hedge funds, urging other big industrialized nations to strengthen regulation of the industry and compel banks that lend them money to hold more capital. Paris wants the European Union, and eventually all leading economies, to beef up indirect regulation of hedge funds via their prime brokers, the banks which provide them with loans and other services. Under plans to be floated by Christine Lagarde, French finance minister, banks could face higher capital requirements to reflect the riskiness of their hedge fund clients, a proposal likely to be resisted by banks that are already struggling to raise capital. Ms Lagarde will present the plans to her Group of Seven nations counterparts in Rome tonight in the hope that they can be adopted by the G20 summit of leading and emerging economies in London on April 2.

Globe and Mail:
- Canada is well-positioned to take advantage of moves by auto makers to bring electric vehicles and other fuel-efficient technologies to market, say analysts who have studied these developments. The opportunities for Canada are exemplified by Ford Motor Co.'s partnership with Canadian auto parts manufacturer Magna International to produce a fully electric car that goes up to 160 kilometers on a single charge.

Stocks Rebounding into Final Hour on Short-Covering, Lower Energy Prices, Less Economic Pessimism

BOTTOM LINE: The Portfolio is slightly higher into the final hour on gains in my Retail longs, Computer longs, Internet longs, Biotech longs and Medical longs. I covered all of my (IWM/QQQQ) hedges and some of my (EEM) short today, thus leaving the Portfolio 100% net long. The tone of the market is mildly positive as the advance/decline line is slightly higher, sector performance is mixed and volume is above average. Investor anxiety is above average. Today’s overall market action is bullish. Nikkei futures indicate an +65 open in Japan and DAX futures indicate an +37 open in Germany tomorrow. I expect US stocks to trade mixed-to-higher into the close from current levels on short-covering, lower energy prices and less economic sector pessimism.

Today's Headlines

Bloomberg:

- Fiber Optics Bring Faster Internet, DVDs on Demand.

- European industrial production dropped the most on record in December, pointing to a deepening economic slump in the fourth quarter. Output in the euro region fell 12 percent from the year- earlier month after an 8.4 percent decline in November, the European Union’s statistics office in Luxembourg said today.

- The London interbank offered rate, or Libor, for overnight loans in British pounds fell below 1 percent for the first time amid expectations the Bank of England will cut its key interest rate to near zero. The rate dropped more than half a basis point to 99 basis points today, the British Bankers’ Association said, the lowest since the trade group began compiling the data in January 2001. The three-month pound overnight index swap rate, which shows traders’ expectations for the central bank’s key rate, was at 55 basis points, from 72 basis points a week ago.

- The average U.S. rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage fell this week as federal lawmakers negotiated an economic stimulus plan to revive the economy and resuscitate the housing market. The rate fell to 5.16 percent from 5.25 percent a week earlier, Freddie Mac, the McLean, Virginia-based mortgage buyer said today.

- Families whose children developed autism after taking vaccine combinations that contained thimerosal aren’t entitled to compensation from a $2.5 billion government trust fund, a panel of court-appointed experts ruled. Three “special masters” appointed by the U.S. Court of Federal Claims in Washington found today that the families failed to show thimerosal-containing vaccines taken with an “MMR” shot for measles, mumps and rubella can contribute to causing autism, immune-system dysfunction or gastrointestinal dysfunction.

- Crude oil fell to a three-week low in New York after a U.S. government report yesterday showed a bigger-than-expected increase in inventories. Supplies have gained in 18 of the past 20 weeks, leaving stockpiles the highest since July 2007, the Energy Department report showed. World oil consumption will drop 1.7 percent to 84.3 million barrels a day this year, consultant Wood Mackenzie said in a report today. “Inventories keep increasing and we continue to get reports downgrading demand forecasts,” said Tom Bentz, senior energy analyst at BNP Paribas in New York. “There’s increasing pressure on crude oil, especially the front month.” Supplies at Cushing, Oklahoma, where West Texas Intermediate oil is stored, climbed 1.7 percent to 34.9 million barrels last week, the highest since at least April 2004, when the department began keeping records for the location. The International Energy Agency yesterday reduced its global oil demand forecast for 2009, projecting consumption will decline by 1 million barrels a day, the biggest drop since 1982. The adviser to 28 developed nations trimmed its 2009 forecast by 570,000 barrels to 84.7 million a day because of a weaker economic outlook from the International Monetary Fund.

Wall Street Journal:

- The stock market tanked Tuesday after disappointment with the presentation from Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner. Many thought hedge-fund redemptions were a major catalyst, but they probably were not. Today’s selloff, however, could be the result of this. With many hedge fund withdrawal requests due 45 days before the end of the quarter — which would be Sunday for the quarter ending March 31 — traders are acting under the assumption that funds this week will be pushing for cash in an inevitable wave of selling out to meet redemptions.

- Even as job losses mount and profits plunge, some glimmers of stabilization are emerging in global markets. In the U.S., Europe and China, separate surveys of manufacturers' purchasing managers all inched upward in January, suggesting that the contraction in manufacturing activity could be slowing. The interest rates at which banks lend to one another are easing. And some credit markets are thawing. Analysts say rock-bottom official interest rates, promises of massive fiscal-stimulus packages and central banks' other efforts to revive markets have helped ease some tensions in financial markets and may help put a floor under falling business confidence.

CNBC.com:
- How worried was Wall Street about a lack clarity in Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner’s plan to save the banking system by buying toxic debt? So worried that Goldman Sachs(GS) called a meeting to figure out how to fix the problem. —This meeting known as the “Goldman Sachs rountable” took place just hours after Geithner’s speech (and the dismal market reaction) on Tuesday at the headquarters of Goldman Sachs(GS) in lower Manhattan. —Around 20 of the firm’s biggest hedge fund and private equity clients from around the country showed up—a testament to just how concerned financial industry insiders are about what few details Geithner presented.

Barron’s:

- Bernstein Research analyst Toni Sacconaghi asserted in a research note this morning that Apple (AAPL) officials in a briefing this week “appeared confident” about its guidance for the fiscal second quarter ending in March. Sacconaghi met this week with COO Tim Cook, CFO Peter Oppenheimer and SVP-Product Marketing Phil Schiller and says the three “projected a confident and unwavering tone.” In his note, Sacconaghi reported back on his meeting; here are some key bullet points:

NY Times:

- Laid-Off Foreigners Flee as Dubai Spirals Down.

KansasCityStar:

- It's still rough going out there. But a couple of executives from companies with a big local presence expressed some hope that maybe the nation's economy has stopped its downward spiral. Bill Zollars, chairman of trucking giant YRC Worldwide Inc.(YRCW), reiterated on Wednesday what he said at the end of January. "It appears to us that things have stabilizied a little bit in February," Zollars told transportation analysts at a conference in Florida.

San Francisco Chronicle:

- What Blu-ray is to high-def DVDs, and VHS is to videotape, a high-powered consortium led by Intel Corp.(INTC) and Chevron Corp.(CVX) is offering a similar industry standard, this one for corporate IT departments.

Politico:

- Earlier today, the Speaker's office told us some or all of the text would be made available online prior to Pelosi's press conference. If the House votes on Friday, as expected, the late posting means the text will be available for less than 24 hours -- far short of the 48 hours Dem leaders had previously pledged.

DW-World.DE:

- The EU Commission anticipates the ongoing economic crisis will translate to massive losses for all of Europe's industrial sectors, a German newspaper wrote. The crisis is hitting Europe faster than expected. An internal EU analysis of the crisis' effects described massive production and revenue losses in the construction and manufacturing industries, according to the paper. The announcement comes at the EU's business climate index hit its lowest levels since being introduced in 1985.

Vedomosti:

- Russian new car sales fell 33% in January.

China Securities Journal:
- China faces difficulty boosting fixed-asset investment growth this year as smaller gains in profits crimp company spending, citing a central bank official. Corporate profit growth has slowed “enormously,” suggesting that investment has been bolstered by government spending on infrastructure, citing Ruan Jianhong, deputy director of the People’s Bank of China’s survey and statistics department, said.

The National:

- Hotels in Abu Dhabi have discounted room rates by as much as 15 per cent, indicating that the global financial crisis is beginning to affect the core market of business tourism. The move follows steep discounts introduced by hotels in Dubai in December, where rates have come down by as much as 60 per cent to shore up the hard-hit leisure segment. The rate cuts have helped to boost occupancy levels, but analysts say the strategy threatens profits.
