Stories of the Day 12/1/2010

On a bleak note, the US housing market has continued to struggle.  Foreclosure sales fell in line with the entire market and predictions for 4th quarter are that we will see continued slowing.  Is this just the new normal in the housing market, or are we still sifting through this mess that we got ourselves into.  Associated Press article (here).

Automakers are out with their sales from last month.  Hyundai was a winner with sales of its Sonata, while Honda, Nissan, Ford, GM, and Chrysler all reported positive numbers.  The one loser ... Toyota.  This is the second straight monthly sales decline for the company.  JD Power says it's a continued result of their recalls.  (here)

For those of you preparing for summer internship recruiting, here is an awesome website.  They do great stuff for anyone looking for a career on Wall Street.  Whether you are looking at Sales and Trading (S&T) or Investment Banking (IBD), subscribe to their articles, because they are extremely thorough.  Mergers and Inquisitions can be visited through our links on the left or (here).
