”Oh that’s enough about me, let’s talk about you. So what do you think of me!” It’s an old punch line but it couldn’t be more timely as the only thing Wall Street seems to be able to talk about is… well, Wall Street.
Of course there’s plenty of good cocktail conversation. We’ve got the Freddie and Fannie bailout and now this whole Lehman debacle.
What’s that you say? You just need to slip away and freshen up. Okay. We’ll wait right here. Good Lord, we must be boring.
River Twice Research president Zach Karabell can barely stand us. “Bankers and brokers are not the center of the universe,” he tells the Fast Money traders. (Audible gasp) "Financials may be in turmoil but they’re not leading indicators for the rest of the nation.”
“And it’s obscuring what’s going on in other places. Don’t miss the base metal reality. Vale is renegotiating it’s prices up 20% for next year," says Karabell. He owns it and thinks the stock is well worth a look.
"And then there’s Tiffany who is benefitting from strong sales abroad." Clearly, there are a lot of rich people in the world and they’re buying jewelry!
I guess Karabell told us!
