    The Great Panic of 2008

    First, let’s start with the obvious: This is unlike any market meltdown I’ve seen in my career. That includes the 1987 crash, the 1990 invasion of Kuwait by Iraq, the 1993-94 utility deregulation scare, the 1997-98 Asian Crisis and the 2000-02 Great Bear Market and utility sector collapse.

    What's Next for Wall Street?

    Poor Wall Street: No one’s job is safe as the financial sector continues to go through its most dramatic upheaval since the Great Depression. Meanwhile, the US Congress—hardly a popular institution itself—is heaping scorn on the institution’s alleged “fatcats,” as it debates measures to stanch the global financial panic. Even the Republican candidate for Vice President has put the Street on her enemies list, railing about “corruption” and “predatory practices” throughout last night’s debate.

    Few Ports in the Storm

    Congressional negotiators are back at it again, working on a plan to support the mortgage market that will win enough votes. The last attempt, of course, failed spectacularly yesterday, as House Republicans refused to offer more than a sliver of support, despite the pleas of President Bush. Democrats also walked away from the bill instead of taking all the political heat for supporting the unpopular bill.

    Think Contrary

    Good businesses are what I prefer to buy. That means stocks, bonds, preferred shares and other securities backed by healthy, growing companies, which are becoming more valuable over time.

    Betting on Recovery

    Never underestimate the small mindedness of politicians: That looks like the lesson of the week for investors. The morning after the biggest bank failure in history—Washington Mutual—Washington is still squabbling about the details of how to sort out the mortgage securities mess and unfreeze the US financial system.

    Banks and Utilities

    After decades of tough regulation, an industry absolutely essential to the health of the US economy is opened up. The immediate result: A good business becomes a great one. The top executives get rich, as do many further down the chain.

    The Numbers Are Still Lagging

    Utility stocks across the board posted very strong second quarter earnings. And with most sticking close to prior full-year guidance, there’s no real indication they won’t in the third quarter.

    Real Change

    Change is the watchword of this presidential election season. The fact that the candidate of the party currently out of power—Democrat Barack Obama—would talk about shaking things up is no great surprise in any campaign. This time around, however, even ruling party candidate John McCain is trying to present himself as an agent of change.

    Lessons for the Fall

    How rough was this summer for investors? The answer isn’t nearly as bad as the market mood, at least not for those who focus on quality companies that continue to post strong earnings.

    Nov. 4: What's Not at Stake

    To hear some people tell it, national elections are always some version of good versus evil. One party is the great hope of the nation, while the other is leading us down the road to ruin. One party is full of upstanding “reasonable” people, and the other a bunch of lying philanderers.

    Dear Roger: Just renewed my subscription. My account is now in 7 figures and the monthly dividends are just wonderful. When you mentioned that Pennwest was converting to a trust, it looked good and I bought 10,000 shares. Sold it yesterday for a profit of US$155,000. Keep up the good work.”
