9/11 Lehman ( LEH ) Downgraded by Citigroup ( C )

This morning Lehman Brothers ( LEH ) is getting pounded yet again. I can't wait until this thing goes to zero so we can stop talking about it. The company has been in denial since it went under $50. The have access to the discount window yet they are not using it. The claimed a month ago everything was fine yet they are selling off assets at the worst time.

Anway...to the Lehman ( LEH ) news of the day.....

Citigroup ( C ) is cutting Lehman to hold from buy.....price target $9. This is halarious....why didn't Citigroup do this on Monday went LEH stock was at $15? They would look like heros, but instead, C looks like idiots today...waiting so long to downgrade it.

What I can't understand is why financials are still downgrading other financials? The financials have been in freefall since early 2007..... don't you think they have been a sell this whole time?

Stock Market 9/09 Update - Stocks to Watch FSLR, LEH, AAPL

Today has been another interesting day....Lehman ( LEH ) is getting drilled, down 30%. I think this would be the last one to go and then the market can reverse for the long term. By last to go I mean, Bear Sterns ( BSC ) Fannie Mae ( FNM ) & Freddie Mac ( FRE ). If Lehman got taken over or bailed out.....the market can finally look forward instead of fearing the above companies and how it effects selling in the stocks they own. Look at GOOG, CHK, FSLR, ENER, AAPL.....these companies are getting sold off for no reason....and they do not bounce when the market goes up. These are good solid companies trade at fair valuations. Forced selling has the most to do with these stocks.

These are the stocks you will want to be trading....and when the market starts to turn, these will be your leaders as money will again flow back into them. You can add Mastercard ( MA ) and Visa ( V ) in this bunch as well.

First Solar will break back to the upside when it breaks $208......ENER when it breaks back over $56.50....keep in eye on these for some nice swing trades!
