Citigroup Inc., in 2007, spent considerable effort in trying to launch what came to be known as “The Entity,” a giant Golemesque structure that would gobble up problematic assets known as structured investment vehicles. Citigroup has become that Entity, and markets don’t like it. The company’s equity and debt have been hit after it said it would take on $17 billion of th...

(AP:NEW YORK) Hewlett-Packard Co. offered a fourth-quarter outlook slightly above Wall Street’s expectations Tuesday despite the sagging economy, going against the grain even as other technology bellwethers have slashed forecasts and posted weak results in recent weeks.

In this corporate earnings environment, there should be ample opportunities for analysts to put "sell" ratings on stocks. Of course, there was the famous call a few days ago when one enterprising securities researcher had the guts to say GM (GM) shares would fall to zero. He probably still kept his "buy" rating on the stock. New evidence has come up that "sell" ratings are scarce as hen's teeth...
