FINANCE • Sharp-tongued analysts Meredith Whitney and Mike Mayo are ganging up on Goldman Sachs now, after their stock dropped 4 percent this morning: "In short, Goldman is no longer as much in the right place at the right time, at least compared to the past year," Mayo wrote. [ Reuters ] • UBS gave into shareholder pressure and agreed to separate its investment bank from its wealth-management arm — but it insists it's not going to sell off parts of the business. [ Reuters ] • Meanwhile, Lehman Brothers could bank between $6.5 billion and $13 billion if it spins off its Neuberger Berman asset-management unit, a cash infusion that could boost the firm's balance sheet as it dumps mortgage-backed securities at a discount. The only problem? If Lehman sells off the entire unit, "then they'd run out of bullets," one analyst says. "How do you know you won't need more cash four to five months from now?" [ Bloomberg ] • Oh, also? Pretty much everyone has lost faith in our banks: 60 percent of institutional investors think there'll be another major financial-firm failure within six months; 15 percent more think the failure will be within six to twelve months. And, as you know, if enough people believe it, it starts to come true. [ FT ] MEDIA • Wrap-dress designer Diane Von Furstenberg is set to pen a column for Departures magazine. [ WWD ] • Speaking of!

We've pretty much steered clear of Brett Favre talk on this here blog lately, because ... well, the Cowboys give us plenty to write about, and he's a Packer, sort of. But old pal Matt Mosley managed to tie in an interesting Cowboys story in his Favre column . (Why is an NFC East guy writing a Favre column? Because everybody at ESPN.com apparently has to pitch into the Favre/Packer breakup coverage.) It reminds me of a story I once heard about former Cowboys quarterback Don Meredith. He walked into Tom Landry's office in 1969 and said, "Coach, I'm thinking about retiring." Not missing a beat, Landry answered, "Don, I think that's a good idea." Years later, Bud Shrake, the newspaper man turned famous author, told me Meredith was crushed that Landry didn't try to talk him out of retiring. In Meredith's case, though, he walked away from the game for good. Favre retired briefly and then began a comeback campaign in which he leaked information through selected family members and farm workers. In this three-ring circus, Favre tried to play ringmaster from the comfort of his home in Mississippi, but he eventually had to come out of hiding. The Packers had taken the unfair step of taking Favre at his word, and general manager Ted Thompson would play the role of the villain. Doesn't make the way Jerry Jones ended Landry's legendary tenure seem so heartless, huh? ... Source: www.thisislondon.co.uk --- 14 days ago

For the past couple weeks, NBC has been “tweeting” Olympic related messages via Twitter for NBC's morning news program the Today Show ( twitter.com/todayshow ).

Felix Salmon submits: It used to be that if you were having difficulty making your mortgage payment, you'd end up, one way or another, putting it on your credit card -- if only by being unable to pay off much of your credit card bill that month. Today, says Meredith Whitney in a Fortune profile , it's the other way around, and if you're having trouble making your credit-card payment this month, you'll end up using your mortgage money to keep current on the plastic.

Here's a story worthy of DealBreaker, a family publication. Oppenheimer analyst Meredith Whitney's husband was apparently promoting the latest issue of Fortune , of which his wife graces of the cover, on Monday night's WWE Raw . Cute, right? He's proud so proud of her (and extra orifices she's made for Citi and Merrill and the industry and in general). Of course, knowing Layfield and his less than stellar wrestling skills , he was probably using the magazine as an intimidation factor by which to say "Be forewarned, my wife will fuck you up," but whatever. Luckily, or perhaps because of, it didn't come to that. According to Fortune blogger Patricia Sellers, Layfield, who was referred to as "Mr. Whitney" on Monday night, won the match (by falling on his opponent, world heavyweight champion CM Punk, with one second remaining). ...
Financial stocks are nowhere close to a bottom. Net charge-offs and non-performing loans are still growing. Banks will have to raise more capital to plug balance sheet holes, further diluting current shareholders. Etc. So goes the bear argument. Tom Brown at Bankstocks.com begs to differ. Brown points out that, historically, markets tend to anticipate improving metrics rather than respond to them. If you wait to see improving loan performance, argues Brown, you'll miss most of the rally. Brown compares today's crisis to the crisis and recover in the early 90's: If you waited until 1992, when chargeoffs started to improve, you would have missed half of the rally: Remember, the market is a discounting machine: it anticipates key events so early on the vast majority of investors don't even think those events are possible. In the case of the financials now, that means stock prices will turn higher (and already have, I believe) when most investors believe that things are still getting worse. It happens every cycle. So there's no use trying to concoct your own list of mental milestones. Instead, go back and look at what happened (and in what order) during the last major credit crackup, in 1990-91. If you do, you'll see that the bears have things all backwards. By the time their wish lists happen, the stocks will be zooming. The danger, of course, is that you could have used a similar line of reasoning to argue that the sector bottomed t ...
Tom Brown, a veteran Wall Street bank analyst, thinks the stock of the most famous analyst in America, Meredith Whitney, is about to crater. Why? Because of the curse of her recent Fortune cover? No. (Although Meredith wouldn't be the first executive whose reputation peaked with a cover feature. We had a couple in our day...) Because she downgraded Wachovia (WB) at $8 and it's now $18 ? Not entirely. Mainly because, in Brown's opinion, Meredith has just overstayed her bearishness: Thomas Brown...disagrees sharply with Whitney's contentions that banks need to rid themselves of problem loans and that their stocks won't rebound until the write-downs abate. Brown counters that the numbers Whitney keeps trotting out are actually lagging indicators. "During the last credit crisis the stocks hit bottom in November 1990, and the losses and nonperforming assets didn't peak until well into 1991," he says. "Every cycle there's one analyst who races to be the most bearish, and this time it's her. Honestly, I think we'll look back and see that Meredith Whitney's credibility peaked on July 15" - the day many bank stocks hit their low point for the year (so far at least). Brown goes a step further, alleging that it's "incredibly arrogant" of Whitney to tell banks and investment banks either to unload their problem loans and mortgage securities or to "get real" about how they're valued. He says there's plenty of history to indicate that holding tight ...
