		<description><![CDATA[More progress, albeit slow progress, is being made on the employment front. This week, initial claims for unemployment fell to 530,000, a drop of 21,000 (20,000 net of revisions) and the four-week moving average fell to 553,500, a decline of 11,000. Continuing claims also fell to 6.138 million, a decline of 123,000. The decline in continuing claims overstates the case a bit, however, since they run out after 26 weeks (regular state unemployment claims). Job losses were running hot and heavy back in March. For most people, they then become eligible for extended claims, largely funded by Federal stimulus program money. Total extended claims (the 2 major programs combined) were 3.577 million, an increase of 32,000 on the week. Thus the total number of people getting unemployment benefits fell by 91,000 on ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Regulators shut down 3 more banks including Corus; total failed banks in &#8217;09 reach 92 Three more banks including Corus Bank NA, a subsidiary of Corus Bankshares (CORS), were shuttered by the U.S. regulators on Friday as the recession continues to take its toll on banks. This takes the total number of failed federally insured banks in this year to 92, compared to 25 in 2008 and 3 in 2007. Based in Chicago, the Corus Bank was a major lender to condominium, office and hotel projects. Corus is one of the largest banks to fail this year, with about $7 billion in total assets, $7 billion in deposits and 11 branches. Two other small banks were Lacey, WA-based Venture Bank, with $970 million in assets and $903 million in deposits ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Swiss banking giant UBS AG (UBS) was recently ordered to pledge its assets or provide bonds worth $35 million by Judge John Blawie at Connecticut Superior Court. The unfavorable order came as a blow after reports claimed that top credit ratings agencies had committed a securities fraud by providing insider trading information to the bank. Stanford-based hedge fund Pursuit Partners claimed that UBS had entered a deal to sell its investment-grade collateralized debt obligation (CDO) notes in 2007 with the prior knowledge that the securities were about to be downgraded. The proceedings revealed that the rating agencies Moody’s Corp. (MCO) and Standard &#38; Poor&#8217;s provided insider information to UBS regarding their impending decision to downgrade some of the CDOs the bank was selling. The credit crunch led the securities to ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After almost a year of initiating the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), a lot has improved with respect to the economic crisis. Though the economy is in far better shape now than a year ago, there are persistent problems which need to be addressed by the government before shifting the strategy to growth. We believe that the U.S. economy will regain the growth momentum once these issues are resolved. On Thursday, U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said that the government won&#8217;t provide additional funds to stabilize the financial markets and the government’s economic team has removed a $750 billion line item from the federal budget projections, since it is unlikely to be necessary. The TARP panel members, however, are not happy as most of the taxpayer-provided money was ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Negative news flow continues for the U.S credit rating agencies, as a U.S. federal judge rejected the appeal by Morgan Stanley (MS), Moody’s Corporation (MCO) and McGraw-Hill&#8217;s (MHP) Standard &#38; Poor’s to dismiss the fraud charges brought against them for not disclosing the risks associated with an investment related to subprime mortgages. This fraud claim was brought against the defendants by Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank and King County in Washington State. However, U.S. District Judge Shira Scheindlin dismissed all claims brought against a fourth defendant, Bank of New York Mellon Corp. We believe this ruling could adversely affect the prospects of these credit rating agencies as it might strengthen other pending cases against them. Recently, the rating agencies have been in the news for providing inaccurate information about some securities ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Credit rating agencies are facing constructive criticism from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Recently, the rating agencies have been in news for providing inaccurate information about some securities to some clients. Now the market watchdog criticized a rating agency for approving the application of another agency, even though the former rating agency was suspicious about the authenticity of the financial information. The SEC Inspector General David Kotz showed concern over this issue and expressed doubts about whether this could have been done in the public interest. SEC did not disclose the name of the rating agencies involved in this issue. Eleven big rating agencies including Moody’s Corp. (MCO), McGraw-Hill Company Inc. (MHP) and Standard &#38; Poor’s are registered with the SEC and one of the eleven agencies may ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Don Miller, Contributing Writer, Money Morning Editor’s Note: We’ve been talking a lot about real estate in Investment U recently, specifically how it relates to Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). One of the other aspects of REITs that’s making them look more attractive is the housing market for new construction. As it declines and the financing dries up for builders, old construction will start increasing in value. That bodes well for REITs. Our colleagues over at Money Morning have taken a look at some of the issues facing builders that we feel are extremely relevant to the real estate market right now. New Housing Starts Hit 50 Year Lows New housing starts fell in December to the lowest levels since the government started compiling statistics in 1959, as surging ]]></description>
