		<description><![CDATA[In an attempt to strengthen its balance sheet and remove the vestiges of the financial crisis, Morgan Stanley (MS) announced a comprehensive plan to settle its legal fight with MBIA Inc. (MBI). The 2-year-old legal dispute involved conflict over guarantees on commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS). Terms As a part of the settlement agreement, Morgan Stanley will close the outstanding credit default swap (CDS) protection deal (worth $4.9 billion approximately), which was purchased from MBIA. In addition to that, all the pending litigations between the two parties would be resolved with the payment of cash consideration to Morgan Stanley. The agreement also states that Morgan Stanley will pull out from the lawsuits challenging MBIA’s restructuring. Similarly, MBIA has agreed to withdraw charges against the company related to the quality of bonds ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Wednesday, markets sunk lower to close in the red after disappointing results from Goldman Sachs’ (NYSE:GS) and Cree Inc (NASDAQ:CREE). Results from these companies pressured financial and tech stocks to fall and the market slid from the record highs it touched on Tuesday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 0.11% and closed at 11,825.29. The S&#38;P 500 was down 1.01% and closed at 1,281.92. The tech driven Nasdaq fell 1.46% and ended the day at 2,725.36. Wednesday recorded the highest one-day fall of the Nasdaq and S&#38;P 500 since November 2010. On the New York Stock Exchange, declining stocks at 2,319 were clearly the gainers, with the advancing ones at 673. About 8.35 billion shares were traded on NYSE, keeping the volumes below average.

		<description><![CDATA[Markets on Tuesday climbed modestly higher as the euro-zone debt crisis eased to lessen investors’ nervousness. Reports of a New York appeals court ruling in favor of MBIA Inc. and upbeat earnings results also helped indices break out of the red zone. Indices gained modestly as bond insurer MBIA Inc. (NYSE:MBI) won a major battle against twenty of the world’s biggest financial institutions, including Bank of America (NYSE:BAC), Citibank (NYSE:C), Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS), HSBC (NYSE:HBC), and UBS (NYSE:UBS) among others. MBIA was battling this lawsuit over a restructuring plan. The company’s split in 2009 had been challenged through the lawsuit which claimed the split was fraudulent. The banks had argued that the split neglected policy holders’ interests and only favored holders of muni-insurance. MBIA shares jumped 10.3% and closed at ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[MBIA Inc.’s (MBI) fourth quarter operating loss of $1.16 per share was a penny more than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $1.15. The company had reported a loss of $5.21 per share in the prior-year quarter. Results were dragged down by losses on MBIA&#8217;s coverage of mortgage-related securities and complex investments, which weighed down income from investments and premiums. Revenue rose to $742.1 million, up from negative $1.57 billion in the prior-year period. Revenue components such as premiums earned and net investment income during the quarter totaled $158.4 million and $130.5 million, both down 30% and 51% year-over-year, respectively. With ratings cut to junk status, MBIA has also lost major market share. However, revenues were helped by lower other-than-temporary impairments and an improvement in the value of insured ]]></description>

Ambac claimed that many of the loans involved were fraudulent, based on misstatements of income or occupancy. Ambac increased its estimate of remediation recoveries on residential mortgage backed securities (RMBS) transactions due to breaches of representations and warranties by approximately $738 million during the third quarter. Ambac is actively working on these transactions to resolve these breaches through litigation or otherwise, and continues to believe that the assumed recovery time of three years to be appropriate.

		<description><![CDATA[We are downgrading our recommendation on the shares of MBIA Inc. (MBI) to Underperform as macroeconomic conditions continue to contribute to losses on the group’s structured finance products. MBIA insures mortgage-backed securities backed by subprime mortgages. MBIA also has an indirect exposure to subprime mortgages that are included in collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), in which the company has guaranteed the senior most tranche of such transactions. There has been considerable stress and continued deterioration in the subprime mortgage market since early 2008 and in 2009, reflected by delinquencies and losses, particularly related to subprime mortgage loans originated during 2005 to 2007. The increase in delinquencies has been negatively affecting the company’s results. We do not expect a reversal in the trend until the second half of 2010. MBIA has been ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are downgrading our recommendation on the shares of MBIA Inc. (MBI) to Underperform as macroeconomic conditions continue to contribute to losses on the company&#8217;s structured finance products. MBIA&#8217;s third quarter results missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate abysmally. Results were dragged down by higher losses on MBI&#8217;s coverage of mortgage-related securities and complex investments, which weighed down income from investments and premiums. With ratings cut to junk status, MBI has also lost major market share. However, the company&#8217;s long-tailed business model is generating scheduled premiums. Though MBIA has undertaken its business restructuring, the legal challenges are expected to act as an impediment to business prospects and capital-raising efforts .Zacks Investment Research]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[According to Standard and Poor’s latest realignment, Ciena Corp. (CIEN), the telecommunications equipment maker has been removed from the S&#38;P 500 index and has been included in the S&#38;P MidCap 400, replacing Blyth Inc. (BTH). Visa (V) will replace Ciena in the S&#38;P 500 Index. After the announcement, Ciena shares fell 6.64%, as negative investor sentiments loomed on the stock. The S&#38;P 500 Index includes companies with market capital of above $5 billion. Since Ciena has a market cap of $1 billion, it is no longer a representative of the market index and thus has been removed. Standard &#38; Poor&#8217;s added five other companies to its S&#38;P 500 Incorporatedluding Mead Johnson Nutrition Co. (MJN), which is being split off from Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. (BMY), Ross Stores Inc. (ROST), Cliffs Natural ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[MBIA Incorporated’s (MBI) third quarter operating loss of $3.50 per share substantially missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 99 cents per share. Last year, the company had reported a loss of $3.42 per share. Results were negatively affected by a continued deterioration in the performance of the company’s insured second-lien residential mortgage loan securitization exposures and increase in case loss reserves reflecting expectations for additional claim payments to policyholders. Net loss was $727.8 million during the quarter, compared to $806.5 million in the prior-year quarter. Premiums earned during the quarter totaled $181.2 million, down 23% from $234.7 million in the third quarter of last year. Net investment income dropped 56% to $156.8 million. During the quarter, the company recorded a $238.8 million pretax loss related to its ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Note: We are re-issuing this post after correcting a mistake in the original post that ran yesterday. As a result of another sign of dwindling confidence about MBIA Incorporated’s (MBI) business prospects, Standard &#38; Poor&#8217;s (S&#38;P) has downgraded its ratings on the parent company as well as its structured finance insurance arm, MBIA Insurance Corporation.Rating of the parent company has been slashed to “BB-“ from “BB&#8221; and its subsidiary MBIA Insurance Corporation’s rating has been slashed to “BB+&#8221; from “BBB&#8221;. The ratings for both the parent and the subsidiary are now below investment grade. The rating agency holds a negative outlook on the ratings, which means that there could be additional downgrades if the company incurs further losses. The rating action follows concerns about the company&#8217;s exposure to residential mortgage-backed securities and ]]></description>
