These Corporate Earnings Results are Cause for Celebration?!?! / Companies / Corporate Earnings
By: Graham_Summers
With Wall Street clamoring about how great earnings are, it’s worth our time to examine the REAL Year over Year (YoY) results for economic bell-weathers. After all, beating an estimate that set so low that an earthworm could clear it is hardly grounds for a celebration. And Wall Street analysts hardly have a reputation for nailing earnings.

Today's euphoria was keyed to the record $3.44 billion 2nd quarter profit announced by that branch office of the Treasury Department also known as Goldman Sachs. Wells Fargo, JP Morgan Chase, and State Street also chipped in with strong numbers.

Will Citigroup Lose its Top Energy Trader? / Companies / Banking Stocks
By: Money_Morning
Jason Simpkins writes: Grow Rich Automatically with the World’s Only Gold-Backed "Cash" The U.S. Treasury Dept. has finally approved the new gold-backed "cash." And according to gold expert Peter Schiff, this new money, called "Gold Dollars," is not only the best place for your savings today... it could prove very profitable. Why? Because every "dollar" you hold in your bank account is backed by 1 gram of solid gold, held in Fort Knox-like security. So when each gram of gold goes up in value, so does your cash! (Meanwhile, you can spend your money just like you would regular paper dollars.) For Schiff's full report, please go here.

Why You Should Not Bank on Banking Stocks / Companies / Banking Stocks
By: Money_Morning
Martin Hutchinson writes: Can U.S. bank stocks continue their winning streak?
In February, I analyzed the top 12 U.S. banks to determine whether they really needed $1.5 trillion in taxpayer-provided bailout capital. I concluded that only a few of those banks seemed to be in any danger of collapse, and actually recommended several.

The Banking Crisis Winners and Losers / Companies / Banking Stocks
By: Money_and_Markets
Mike Larson writes: The government is helping to create a two-class system of banks — winners and losers.
Despite their protestations to the contrary, the bailout efforts of the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department have helped fuel big gains at certain institutions; while their reluctance to prop up others has lead to their near-demise.

By: Sy_Harding
The half-dozen or so banks that became too big to fail have had it good. They received $billions in taxpayer bailout money and loan guarantees, were hand-fed lucrative deals to take over the choicest parts of less fortunate competitors, were allowed to exchange some of the toxic waste assets on their books with the Fed for Treasury bonds, and have been able to hire the best of the many newly unemployed bankers and traders.
