Bobbys Corner-Open Market-January.19.2012

Good Morning:

In some of the saddest corporate news in a long time-Eastman Kodak Co filed for bankruptcy protection from creditors this morning.
Kodak revolutionized photography-when it introduced the “Brownie Camera” over 100 years ago.  As the world moved to digital technology for cameras-Kodak was stuck with their film technology-and was never able to jump into the digital marketplace.  R.I.P.

Spain and France had very solid results and participation during today’s bond auctions.
European sovereigns will need to sell some $1 Trillion euros worth of debt this year-and we hope that the markets will be able to absorb all of this debt.  If it is priced right-the buyers will show up.  

Today we have data on CPI and Philly Fed.  We will also see data on jobless claims-which came very close to the majic 400K number last week.  It is expected to fall below 390K this morning.

Equity markets were higher-as are US futures at this time.

Gold, silver and Oil are all higher.

HAVE A GREAT DAY & GOOD LUCK
