McCain funds Khalidi, Palin calls Khalidi a terrorist http://my.wallst.net/blog/fidel/2008/10/30/mccain-funds-khalidi-palin-calls-khalidi-a-terrorist/ http://my.wallst.net/blog/fidel/2008/10/30/mccain-funds-khalidi-palin-calls-khalidi-a-terrorist/#View-Comments Thu, 30 Oct 2008 17:32:55 EST fidel http://my.wallst.net/blogs.php?blogID-RSS=2434
In regards to Khalidi, however, the guilt-by-association game burns John McCain as well.

During the 1990s, while he served as chairman of the International Republican Institute (IRI), McCain distributed several grants to the Palestinian research center co-founded by Khalidi, including one worth half a million dollars.

A 1998 tax filing for the McCain-led group shows a $448,873 grant to Khalidi’s Center for Palestine Research and Studies for work in the West Bank. (See grant number 5180, "West Bank: CPRS" on page 14 of this PDF.)

The relationship extends back as far as 1993, when John McCain joined IRI as chairman in January. Foreign Affairs noted in September of that year that IRI had helped fund several extensive studies in Palestine run by Khalidi’s group, including over 30 public opinion polls and a study of "sociopolitical attitudes."

Of course, there’s seemingly nothing objectionable with McCain’s organization helping a Palestinian group conduct research in the West Bank or Gaza. But it does suggest that McCain could have some of his own explaining to do as he tries to make hay out of Khalidi’s ties to Obama.

Very interesting, lots of money to Russia, Venezula, Cuba, Nicaragua, and almost 1.6 million to West bank Khalidi groups ]]>

History shows Democratic sweep would be better for stocks http://my.wallst.net/blog/fidel/2008/10/30/history-shows-democratic-sweep-would-be-better-for-stocks/ http://my.wallst.net/blog/fidel/2008/10/30/history-shows-democratic-sweep-would-be-better-for-stocks/#View-Comments Thu, 30 Oct 2008 17:24:48 EST fidel http://my.wallst.net/blogs.php?blogID-RSS=2433 NEW YORK (Reuters) – U.S. investors are worried about a combination of a Barack Obama administration and a Democrat-controlled Congress, but history shows that of the two likely election outcomes, that scenario is better for stocks.

Their tax rates may go up after a Democratic sweep, but experience shows their stock portfolios could give them more of a cushion than under the alternative: Republican John McCain in the White House with Democrats running Capitol Hill.

Carl Birkelbach, head of Birkelbach Management in Chicago, said Obama’s proposal of a permanent tax cut for most Americans should "help the whole, the water should rise.

"What McCain said that bothered me," Birkelbach added, "was that he said he could put a freeze on spending. We have to spend to dodge the bullet of a depression.

"An Obama win would be better for stock markets. Our international prestige will start to gain again and what that will mean is a higher dollar, and that money will flow into the U.S," Birkelbach said.

Fred Dickson, market strategist at D.A. Davidson & Co in Lake Oswego, Oregon, believes the equity market has already priced in a change in political party leadership at the top and that the worst-case scenario for an already jumpy market could be no decision on election night.

"If it comes down to a few hundred votes, and it’s not decided for days, that would really add to market volatility," Dickson said.

Sen. Ted Stevens found guilty in corruption case

WASHINGTON – Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens was convicted of seven corruption charges Monday in a trial that tainted the 40-year Senate career of Alaska’s political patriarch.

The verdict, coming just days before Election Day, adds further uncertainty to a closely watched Senate race. Democrats hope to seize the once reliably Republican seat as part of their bid for a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate.

Stevens, 84, was convicted of all seven charges he faced of lying about free home renovations and other gifts he received from a wealthy oil contractor. Jurors began deliberating Wednesday at noon.

Stevens faces up to five years in prison on each count when he is sentenced Jan. 26, but under federal sentencing guidelines, he is likely to receive much less prison time, if any.

The monthlong trial revealed that employees for oil services company VECO Corp. transformed the senator’s modest mountain cabin into a modern, two-story home with wraparound porches, a sauna and a wine cellar. Stevens never paid for VECO’s work.

The Senate’s longest-serving Republican, Stevens said he had no idea he was getting freebies. He said he paid $160,000 for the project and said he believed that covered everything.

Stevens asked for an unusually speedy trial, hoping he’d be exonerated in time to return to Alaska and win re-election. He kept his campaign going and gave no indication that he had a contingency plan in case of conviction.

Despite being a convicted felon, he is not required to drop out of the race or resign from the Senate. If he wins re-election, he can continue to hold his seat because there is no rule barring felons from serving in Congress. The Senate could vote to expel Stevens on a two-thirds vote.

"Put this down: That will never happen — ever, OK?" Stevens said in the weeks leading up to his trial. "I am not stepping down. I’m going to run through and I’m going to win this election.

Democrats, who are hoping to capture a filibuster-proof Senate majority, have jumped at the chance to seize the once reliably Republican seat. They have invested heavily in the race, running television advertisements starring fictional FBI agents and featuring excerpts from wiretaps.

Stevens’ conviction hinged on the testimony of Bill Allen, the senator’s longtime drinking and fishing buddy. Allen, the founder of VECO, testified that he never billed his friend for the work on the house and that Stevens knew he was getting a deal.

Stevens spent three days on the witness stand, vehemently denying that allegation. He said his wife, Catherine, paid every bill they received.

Living in Washington, thousands of miles away, made it impossible to monitor the project every day. Stevens relied on Allen to oversee the renovations, he said, and his friend deceived him by not forwarding all the bills.

Stevens is a legendary figure in Alaska, where he has wielded political influence since before statehood. His knack for steering billions of dollars in federal money to his home state has drawn praise from his constituents and consternation from budget hawks.

McCain Lied about family owning slaves http://my.wallst.net/blog/fidel/2008/10/27/mccain-lied-about-family-owning-slaves/ http://my.wallst.net/blog/fidel/2008/10/27/mccain-lied-about-family-owning-slaves/#View-Comments Mon, 27 Oct 2008 16:06:53 EST fidel http://my.wallst.net/blogs.php?blogID-RSS=2388 Arizona Sen. John McCain is learning a lot about his family history in the course of this presidential campaign.

Because of his bestselling family memoir, "Faith of My Fathers," which details the lives and military careers of his father, Adm. John McCain II, and grandfather, Adm. John "Slew" McCain, veterans flock to his campaign appearances and book signings. They trade stories about his heroic forebears and share anecdotes.

The family’s storied military history stretches back to Carroll County, Miss., where McCain’s great-great grandfather William Alexander McCain owned a plantation, and later died during the Civil War as a soldier for the Mississippi cavalry.

But what McCain didn’t know about his family until Tuesday was that William Alexander McCain had owned 52 slaves. The senator seemed surprised after Salon reporters showed him documents gathered from Carroll County Courthouse, the Carrollton Merrill Museum, the Mississippi State Archives and the Greenwood, Miss., Public Library.

"I didn’t know that," McCain said in measured tones wearing a stoic expression during a midday interview, as he looked at the documents before Tuesday night’s debate. "I knew they had sharecroppers. I did not know that."

This documentation includes slave schedules from Sept. 8, 1860, which list as the slave owner, "W.A. McCain." The schedules list the McCain family’s slaves in the customary manner of the day — including their age, gender and "color," labelling each either "black" or "mulatto." The slaves ranged in age from 6 months to 60 years.

"I knew we fought in the Civil War," McCain went on. "But no, I had no idea. I guess thinking about it, I guess when you really think about it logically, it shouldn’t be a surprise. They had a plantation and they fought in the Civil War so I guess that it makes sense."

"It’s very impactful," he said of learning the news. "When you think about it, they owned a plantation, why didn’t I think about that before? Obviously, I’m going to have to do a little more research."

Then he began to piece together information out loud. "So maybe their sharecroppers that were on the plantation were descendants of those slaves," he said.

Tracing the genealogies of slaves is often easy, because slaves frequently adopted the surnames of their owners. In 1876, for example, a Mary J. McCain married Isham Hurt. The two had a son, blues guitarist "Mississippi" John Hurt, in 1892 on Teoc, the plantation community where the McCains owned 2,000 acres.

"Is that right?" McCain asked, after considering his possible connection to the famous bluesman, who died in 1966. "That’s fascinating," he said.

McCain said his interest in his family heritage always had been focused on his military background, not his Southern roots. "I just hadn’t thought about it, to tell you the truth, because I really feel that my heritage is the military," he said.

ALASKA LARGEST NEWSPARER ENDORSES OBAMA http://my.wallst.net/blog/fidel/2008/10/27/alaska-largest-newsparer-endorses-obama/ http://my.wallst.net/blog/fidel/2008/10/27/alaska-largest-newsparer-endorses-obama/#View-Comments Mon, 27 Oct 2008 15:49:36 EST fidel http://my.wallst.net/blogs.php?blogID-RSS=2384 Yahoo!

Alaska’s largest newspaper endorses Barack Obama

ANCHORAGE, Alaska – The Anchorage Daily News, Alaska’s largest newspaper, has endorsed Sen. Barack Obama for president.

The newspaper said Sunday the Democrat "brings far more promise to the office. In a time of grave economic crisis, he displays thoughtful analysis, enlists wise counsel and operates with a cool, steady hand."

The Daily News said since the economic crisis has emerged, Republican presidential candidate John McCain has "stumbled and fumbled badly" in dealing with it.

"Of the two candidates, Sen. Obama better understands the mortgage meltdown’s root causes and has the judgment and intelligence to shape a solution, as well as the leadership to rally the country behind it," the paper said.

The Daily News said Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has shown the country why she is a success as governor. But the paper said few would argue that Palin is truly ready to step into the job of being president despite her passion, charisma and strong work ethic.

"Gov. Palin’s nomination clearly alters the landscape for Alaskans as we survey this race for the presidency — but it does not overwhelm all other judgment. The election, after all is said and done, is not about Sarah Palin, and our sober view is that her running mate, Sen. John McCain, is the wrong choice for president at this critical time for our nation," the paper said.

"Like picking Sen. McCain for president, putting her one 72-year-old heartbeat from the leadership of the free world is just too risky at this time," the paper concluded.

This is really looking good for near and long term profit.Now is the time to accumulate FNGP for a possible 10 bagger. Here’s why. The management has really been making a lot of good moves,as far as upgrading technology on all the WallSt,MyWallSt,WallStTV,and WallStRadio. They are getting ready to deploy blinx a high tech online TV video software solution. Along with the addition of CashClicker. The member numbers are growing at a very good rate. They have added more paid sponsorship than at any time previous,increasing advertising revenue which lead to record 40% growth last quarter. I predict it it will triple or quadruple by the end of the summer. I will be backing up my analysis by requesting my next Weekly Challenge Prize be paid in FNGP.OB shares instead.

Successfully obtaining the necessary Phase III trial results in order to do so. They are bringing a new bug resistant antibiotic to the market. Cethromycin has been shown to treat Community aquired Pneumonia, Strep, and MRSA. Older antibiotics have quit working effectively against these bugs,MRSA is killing people left and right in our nations hospital,MRSA in case you are not aware is a bug that has developed in most the hospitals where you go in to have your tonsils removed and catch MRSA and die because very few of the current medicines are any longer effectice against these viral infections. There is a huge market for this. I listened to there Conference call this week,there were half a dozen analysts there asking many critical questions of the drugs developer Dr Flavin. They stated that they expected the NDA to approved in 3Q sometime. A number of large bio companies are currently in talks with ADLS to partner up and help bring the drug to market, and to distibute it.. Once a partner is chosen in the next 30 to 60 days,the stock price will rise to about $4.00.Based on the BV of CETH when brought to market the price is expected to rise up to the $8.00 to $10 dollars range. $4.00 dollars is the current target price that the Lazard Analyst just set on Tuesday with his udgrade of ADLS to a BUY. PPS is currently at $1.23 , I own this stock realtime @ .89 cents. 

This an excellent investment opportunity with very little downleg risks and an excellent short, near and long term potential. I expect the stock to go up to $at least $2.00 this week with the publication of the recent Upgrade by Lazard.

The deal is scheduled to close on April 1st,so I am looking for it to really move off its’ lows by then. I have heard this .60 cent stock could go as high as $2.50 then. But be careful and do your own Due Diligence!

TMA was highly diluted on their bailout and cost the investors’ money. I expect it to eventually get up to $2.00 or so after they cash in some paper on the March 26,but again these are both volatile and risky,but have some potentially strong upside.

Everyone have a Great Weekend

Could be a delayed reaction to recent good news regarding Margin call freeze and ability to get cassh for their non-agancy paper.

Its’ Looking good,and FMT shook off the downgrades and is up pre-market also.

It closed @$30 on Friday.  Way too many unknowns on this one, it could now drop to less than JPMs’ offering to purchase it for ,taking it down to $15 or less.

Watch NCC TMA FMT BSC SCA http://my.wallst.net/blog/fidel/2008/03/15/watch-ncc-tma-fmt-bsc-sca/ http://my.wallst.net/blog/fidel/2008/03/15/watch-ncc-tma-fmt-bsc-sca/#View-Comments Sat, 15 Mar 2008 21:40:49 EST fidel http://my.wallst.net/blogs.php?blogID-RSS=1041 All of these are potential buyout targets,and should rally nicely on Tuesdays’ Fed Rate Cut.
NCC is going thru some of same liquidity issues as all the above. Except they are the largest stakeholder in the New Visa IPO. BofA may not be able to pass up a buying opportunity like this. TMA will be able to clear up all the margin call issues by the 26 of March when they be able directly take advantage of the FEDs’ new 200BB cash infusion.  FMT is rumored to be bought out soon by the either Kelley,Amster, or Harbinger. Three of the largest shareholders’.  BSC,there is a lot of talk that the 85 yr old brokerage will be bought out by someone looking for a turn around in the future. SCA has just filed its’ plan to stave off financial ruin,and on the rate cut Tues,could double,if not triple from its’ current lows.

Speculative Plays FMT & TMA http://my.wallst.net/blog/fidel/2008/03/13/speculative-plays-fmt-tma/ http://my.wallst.net/blog/fidel/2008/03/13/speculative-plays-fmt-tma/#View-Comments Thu, 13 Mar 2008 00:39:43 EST fidel http://my.wallst.net/blogs.php?blogID-RSS=1025 Both of these have been thru hell and back. With the FED’s recent cash infusion,and the upcoming FED meeting on March 18th, these are both primed to do some serious bouncing. Some of you may look at the recent large gains and think that you missed the boat,but that is not the case! TMA is in the process of meeting it’s margin calls,even the one annonced today. FMT just got rid of the executive directors who were responsible for turn down of a buyout bid by Kelly Fund. There is speculation that the FMT & FIL(Fremont Investment & Loan) will be split and that the lending half will be sold off from the banking half,with a target price in the range $4.00 to 5.00 or more. Today FMT hit .90 cents(coming off the bottom of .29 cents) and AH was over .70 ,with a late sell off close of .635 cents. TMA has went from ,70 cents on Monday to a high of $3.50 today, with a close of 2.85. TMA will.as discussed on many MB’s will go back up to $6.00 to $7.00 dollars and higher, in the near term. The FDIC just gave FMT the go ahead to get rid of the previous top executives,and there is speculation that this move show’s the FDIC’s willingness to work with FMT to lift the current CDO,and allow them to start originating new loans again,at which point the stock price will climb considerably. Due your own due diligence,however,I strongly beleive that both of these stocks, to have a solid upside,in this oh so volatile market environment. These are not pump and dump scheme,these are businesses that have been major mover’s in the California Real Estate market for more than 10 to 15 years that I sold real estate there.(starting in 1983) Check them out.

Its’ worth putting on the watchlist. They should of cut by at least a .50 on both fund rates.

Then they make some Stupid statement to boot.!!! Those Fed Guys must have been short the market.

Getting it done to you Bloggie Style! http://my.wallst.net/blog/fidel/2007/12/02/getting-it-done-to-you-bloggie-style/ http://my.wallst.net/blog/fidel/2007/12/02/getting-it-done-to-you-bloggie-style/#View-Comments Sun, 02 Dec 2007 07:57:47 EST fidel http://my.wallst.net/blogs.php?blogID-RSS=747 I am getting emails and bulletins about 11/30 weekly winner now. Ramone89 was the legitimae winner Brad.  That LUTHP is a convertible note. None of the other FOUR contests I play allow this trade or JCadwell’s FMNPO. People feel like they are getting ripped off when these slicksters dig up obscure notes and bonds as legitimate trades. Please see the following from seeking alpha about this LUTHP:
Yes, you read that right. Lucent, the voice, data, and video communication services company, closed at $1,037.50 per share Thursday, January 18. You didn’t think this was the Lucent common stock that used to trade on the NYSE under the symbol LU, did you? Nor is it the Alcatel-Lucent (ALU) stock which is the result of the merger between French communications company Alcatel with Lucent.

 

Of course, I’m talking about Lucent’s preferred stock, with the official name of Lucent Technologies Capital Trust I (LUTHP.OB). This is a 7.75% Cumulative Convertible Trust Preferred Security which was first issued in 2002. During the last year, it had a low of 935.00 and a high of 1,100.00.

Brad its called mywallst ,not mybondst,or mynotest. Everytime those are allowed as legitimate trades, everyone raises hell.  I beleive that is FNGP’s second profile that "won" last Friday. He had sent me a message saying I was jealous of JCardwell the weeks before,and then he goes and find something very similar and screws the legitimate player out of his win. Just let me know If  you are gong to continue to allow these type trades because I have begun traking those,and a dozen similar ones. If the current practice stands,I  should be able to get up to a Billion by next month.

Stop the madness, it creates bad vibes for everyone else, and I really get warn out from all the incessant whining I do here about these "trades"

Oh, and its’ still complete garbage that JCardwell stunt was allowed to keep the dollar amounts, totally unfair to everyone.

Thanks for listening,

What kind of garbage is this? The system allows him to enter a MTG Bond as a trade? It drops down to almost nothing every 3 months or so,then is funded and goes back up to $100,000.00 ,I checked it out,and it has been doing the same thing for the last FIVE years, with NO variance. Complete garbage. He must be friends with FNGP.

The poor guy in second is getting totally ripped off,if this is allowed to stand!
