• Conference Call Notes: Fluor, McDermott, DynCorp

  (Wed, 12 Nov 2008 03:07:08 -0500)

  James Cullen submits:

  Fluor (FLR) reported strong quarterly results that set records for new business bookings and total backlog, on top of increasing operating margins (and a moderate gain on sale) that more than doubled net income. Earnings growth was driven by the Oil & Gas business, as well as a substantial boost in earnings from the Industrial & Infrastructure segment.

  On their conference call, CEO Alan Boeckmann suggested that the recent large decline in fossil fuel prices was not going to stop infrastructure build-out, because their clients base capital projects on long-term estimates...

  William Ellard submits:

  It is a shame China beat the US in announcing a major infrastructure investment plan:

  The spending announced today, of which 100 billion yuan is earmarked for this quarter, will cover low-rent housing, infrastructure in the rural areas, as well as roads, railways and airports, the State Council said. The government will also allow tax deductions for purchases of fixed assets such as machinery to stimulate investment, a move that will reduce companies' costs by an estimated 120 billion yuan.

  Recap of Jim Cramer’s comments on Stop Trading! Friday November 7.

   
   
  General Motors (GM)

  Concerning comparisons made between General Motors and Lehman Brothers, Cramer says the country’s largest automaker cannot be allowed to suffer the same fate as the major bank because the whole system is so ‘riddled with GM paper” that the company’s failure would cause a “major meltdown in the US and worldwide trust system. It cannot fail, “said Cramer, “The market would stop.” Cramer says the government needs to make the refinancing of GM its number one priority.

  Rebecca Engmann Darst co-authored this report.

  General Motors Inc. (GM) – Cash burn or crash n’ burn? Today’s dire earnings report from the company is nicely timed evidence to present to Congress to remind them to hurry up and bailout the automakers. Investors are fast coming around to see the silver lining here whereby the government is held at gun point to save the industry or face the drastic consequences of unemployment not seen since the Nixon era. Option volume in GM has almost doubled since the delayed earnings announcement this morning and investors are pouring their capital into the November...

  • Job loss lookout. Non-farm payrolls are expected to decline for the tenth straight month this morning (8:30 AM, website). Economists estimate the U.S. economy shed 200,000 jobs in October, which would be the current downturn's worst month, outdoing September's -159K reading. The last time losses exceeded 200K in a month was March 2003. Some economists think the 27,000-strong Boeing (BA) strike could push October's count to -250K; while still within 50K of the consensus, a worse-than-expected figure "will add to the view that the economy is entering a deep slowdown, a...

  • Business As Usual for Jacob's Engineering

    (Wed, 05 Nov 2008 16:40:11 -0500)

    Trader Mark submits:

    We don't own any of these global engineering stocks at the moment, because effectively the market has chased us out of the names. We closed out of Jacobs Engineering  (JEC) in early September in the mid $60s; within 6 weeks it had fallen below $30. It is really quite sad to see the stock's performance when you consider how the best of breed are still performing "business as usual".

    The problem with owning these now is you have "reality" one day a quarter (when they report earnings) then rumors and innuendos of lost contracts,...

    Hickey and Walters (Bespoke) submit:

    An article in the Wall Street Journal last month mentioned that Boone Pickens' hedge funds had lost nearly $1 billion for the year through August 31st.  One fund was down nearly 30% through 8/31 and another smaller commodity-focused fund was down 84%.  The Boone Pickens funds are energy specific, and the S&P 500 Energy sector is down another 34% since the end of August.

  • Attractive Values - Fast Money Recap (10/7/08)

    (Tue, 07 Oct 2008 23:13:49 -0400)

    Recap of CNBC's Fast Money, Tuesday October 7.

    Dylan Ratigan began a discussion of the sell off in the stock market that continued today, breaking through the lows of yesterday's market bottom. He explained that the selling continued because of a lack of confidence among market participants to trade with each other, forced selling from hedge funds, concerns over the Fed's efforts to restore short-term borrowing to the markets and the fundamental problem of a slowdown in the economy. Joe Terranova says the Fed has to step up to provide solvency for the buyers and sellers in the commercial paper market....
