Top Analyst Calls
American International Group (NYSE: AIG) was a disaster today following Fitch putting the insurance giant on review for possible downgrades to the bond ratings. Shares closed down over 5% at $18.78 on active volume at 45 million shares.
Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. (NASDAQ: GILT) was the big loser in merger-land today. The company missed earnings estimates and also was notified that the proposed buyer was not going to honor the $11.40 price. Shares closed down over 7% at $8.01, but that was much better than the lows and indications of the day.
As politicians and Obama talked up the need for mortgage GSE's (with an undefined structure), shares of Freddie Mac (NYSE: FRE) rose 17% to $3.29.
