Monday Morning Musings

The markets are bouncing in early trading on some positive financial news. The WSJ reported that Wamu (WM) is close to getting a $5 billion capital infusion from private-equity firm TPG. This would be great news for that company, and banks and brokers are rallying on the news.

Also, Microsoft (MSFT) said Yahoo (YHOO) has 3 weeks to accept its offer. With no other bidders around, I think YHOO mgt. should suck it up and accept that it is likely the best offer they are going to see.

The dollar is rallying mostly against the Yen, and a little vs. the Euro. Surprisingly, despite the strong dollar, oil and gold are both rallying also. The 10-year yield is up a bit to 3.54%. And Asian markets were higher across the board overnight.

The strongest groups this morning are the energy stocks, including oil services stocks, agriculture and chemical stocks. Retail stocks are lagging.

Sounds like you know which stocks are strong and which aren't.

I am trying to get some opinions about this website called:
www.stockcaster.net

Do you think this website is a good tool in figuring out what the most profitable stocks to invest in are?
