Bond boom lifts Moody’s
In the nothing succeeds like failure department, Moody’s is up 7% today on news that it cashed in big time on Wall Street’s fourth-quarter bond-peddling boom.
Moody’s (MCO) raised its 2010 earnings forecast by 9%, citing “robust fourth quarter bond market issuance benefiting Moody’s Investors Service, and accelerated completion of software projects for customers of Moody’s Analytics.”
With Thursday’s rally, both Moody’s and McGraw-Hill (MHP), the operator of the rival rating agency Standard & Poor’s, are within $2 of their 52-week highs.
The run-up comes on the very day ProPublica published a timely reminder of why the market doesn’t trust these guys, yet is powerless to do anything about it.
S&P recently admitted it botched the ratings for more than a thousand mortgage-related securities issues. But despite the efforts of financial reformers and regulators, investors remain just as tied to the firms’ ratings as ever.
Heartwarmingly, this allows them — like so many feckless Wall Street types — to continue cashing in even as the economy remains on its back. That one never gets old, does it.
US stocks: What’s in store for the New Year?
NEW YORK: Wall Street will see the year-end rally carry into the last week of 2010 but the question on everyone’s mind is, “what’s next?”
Dow Jones, Standard & Poor’s (S&P) and the Nasdaq on Thursday were up more than 5% on the month and the level of optimism in the market was at a six-year high. The CBOE Volatility Index VIX, known as Wall Street’s fear gauge, was down by two-thirds from this year’s peak in May.
“I would think that the Santa Claus rally will continue into next week as there are still lots of mutual funds trying to beat or at least meet the performance of the S&P 500 within the calendar year of 2010,” said TD Ameritrade’s chief derivatives strategist, Joe Kinahan, based in Chicago. “The VIX is also telling us that the market is expecting low volatility, which would also support upside movement.”
Some contrarian analysts were more cautious as optimism at peak levels is usually a sign of a pullback and thus, negative for equities.
US stocks racked up a fourth straight week of gains on Thursday, as investors expected optimism about the economic recovery to support equities through year-end.

Dow to hit 10,000?
I am a serious believer in stock market manipulation. This might be common sense or just my irrational thinking, but hedge funds are there to make money; therefore, it is easy for them to take money from the small guy. This would include you, me, and any other small investor trying to be independent and cut those percentages going to mutual funds, ETFs, and the big investing companies. As I watch inflation-proof stocks fall with the market, I can only believe the hedge funds are trying to get more and more investors to sell the holdings. They want to cut out all the margin holders and force brokerage companies to force their investors to sell their stock or put in their cash to make up for their margin holdings.
These same hedge funds will either put the DOW down to 10,000, then put a massive amount of cash in the stock market making another big rally and making everyone look rich, or start buying sooner and put the market up again. The stock market is bound to have bottomed out soon. GM has already hit the lowest price in the last 50 years. When the hedge funds have pushed it low enough, they will then start buying back their own stocks and move the market up to new levels that we have not seen yet. Let’s see what happens today, and good luck to us all!
