Warren Buffet’s Bond Offer Fuels Market Surge

 

Stocks remain solidly in the green with financials leading the way, supported by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway offer of up to $800 billion in reinsurance to some of the struggling bond insurers. The Bush administration's plan to help homeowners avoid foreclosure is also adding to the favorable backdrop. In other equity news, General Motors reported 4Q profits and a plan to offer buyouts or early retirement to UAW employees. Additionally, Monsanto raised its full-year EPS guidance, Marsh & McLennan and Masco Corp. missed earnings estimates, Schering Plough topped, and Qwest matched.

 

In midday trading, the Dow rose 189.08, or 1.54 percent, to 12,429.09. Broader stock indicators also moved higher. The Standard & Poor's 500 index advanced 17.30, or 1.29 percent, to 1,356.43, and the Nasdaq composite index rose 21.19, or 0.91 percent, to 2,341.25.

Bond prices are lower. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which moves opposite its price, rose to 3.69 percent from 3.63 percent late Monday.

The dollar was mixed against other major currencies, while gold prices fell.

Light, sweet crude fell 82 cents to $92.77 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Monday’s Top Performing SmallCapVoice.com stocks:

Sino Agro Food, Inc.  (Pink Sheets: SIAF) was SmallCapVoice.com’s top performer for 2/11/08 closing up over 22% on trading volume of 9,100 shares.

 

SmallCapVoice is currently highlighting Sino Agro Food, Inc as a Featured Client.

 

The Company’s business activity is development and acquisition of viable agriculture related businesses in the People’s Republic of China and promotion and application of environmentally friendly technologies. Rapid industrialization in China over the last decade has materially strained the country’s agricultural industry (i.e. diminishing of agriculture land, scarcity of farm laborers, industrial pollution and the general over usage of chemicals, for example). As a result, relevant governmental authorities in China have in recent years sponsored many incentives and policies to revitalize and modernize the agricultural industry in China (i.e. protection of agriculture land, stringent laws governing the ownership and usage of agriculture land, tax incentives and strict enforcement of environmental laws, for example).

Management of the Company, which has many years of practical and professional experience in various sectors of the agricultural industry in China, believes that the company is positioned to take advantage of recent opportunities available to develop agricultural ventures in China. The company is a holding company that operates its business through its subsidiaries.
