12/29/03: The Dollar Can't Get A Grip Against The Euro

PAUL KANGAS: Wall Street got its official Santa Claus rally today. The traditional end-of-year buying took Wall Street's major indexes to new yearly highs. The Dow added 125 points and the NASDAQ Composite rose 33 points, closing above the 2000 level for the first time in almost two years. But while stocks soared, the dollar continued its slide, notching new lows against the euro and as Darren Gersh reports, the dollar slide will ripple through the U.S. economy.

DARREN GERSH, NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT CORRESPONDENT: At Schneider's of Capitol Hill, 2003 will not go down as a "vintage year" for the dollar. Just this morning, co-owner Rick Cenderson was exchanging $25,000 for euros to buy French wine.

RICK CENDERSON, CO-OWNER, SCHNEIDERS: Two years ago I was buying 2000 Bordeaux. We bought about 3500 cases. The euro was 81 cents. Today I am paying over a dollar and quarter for a euro. So that's over a 50 percent jump and it is going to be put right into the wine prices.

GERSH: Whether you're talking cars or cabernets, the dollar's slide is resetting the terms of trade, with impacts ranging from subtle to severe. Just because the dollar is falling doesn't mean import prices will rise overnight. Economists say the adjustment process is complicated. So in the case of French wines, the next price increase may not show up on the shelves for another year. The wine you see here was purchased when the dollar was strong, but when the 2003 vintage goes on sale next spring, Americans will be bidding with a much weaker dollar. But while French wine prices are expected to soar, Australians are holding the line, even though their currency is also up against the greenback.

CENDERSON: Because there is a glut of wine in Australia.

GERSH: In general, economists say US manufacturers are benefiting from a weaker dollar, while importers will be under more pressure in the coming year. The dollar is expected to slide another 10 percent in 2004, and economist Edwin Truman thinks the market could overshoot, eventually falling as much as 20 percent.

EDWIN TRUMAN, INSTITUTE FOR INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS: The truth of the matter is the price - we've been importing things at one price, right, and we have been paying for them with shipments of exports, not completely paying for them at another price, right, and that price adjustment is going to have to change.

GERSH: Eventually, a falling dollar will narrow the nation's $500 billion plus trade deficit. The unanswered questions are by how much and how fast? Darren Gersh, "NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT," Washington.

12/29/03: Mad Cow Concerns Do Bearish Things To Futures Markets

SUSIE GHARIB: Worries about the impact of mad cow disease dominated trading in futures markets in Chicago today. While current month contracts for live cattle are still limited locked down, traders say they are now seeing signs of hope, with contracts as far out as June beginning to resume normal trading patterns. Meanwhile, the Agriculture Department continues to reassure the public that the US beef supply is safe. And those assurances are apparently working. Industry experts say American consumers are still eating beef.

DAN BASSE PRESIDENT, AGRESOURCE CO: The market forecast we are making is based on the loss of export demand. To our knowledge at this point, we didn't see any change in consumer, the consumer appetite over the weekend. I mean the restaurant trade was relatively good. We're seeing beef retail demand. It looked like beef was a main feature of a lot of Christmas dinners and so we didn't see any change in appetites of the consumptive patterns of the U.S. Population. So the marketplace at this point is pretty much focused on the export ledger. It is not looking domestically. Of course another case of mad cow would change all that.

GHARIB: The big-three burger chains also agree. McDonald's, Burger King and Wendy's International all said today that their sales have held steady since the discovery last week of the first case of mad cow disease.

12/29/03: Robert Hormats, Chairman of Goldman Sachs Offers An Economic Outlook For 2004

SUSIE GHARIB: Just two more business days until the new year. What will be the important trends and issues in 2004 for investors? Joining us now to answer that, Robert Hormats, vice chairman of Goldman Sachs International. Hi, Bob.

ROBERT HORMATS, VICE CHMN. GOLDMAN SACHS INTERNATIONAL: Hi, Susie. How are you?

GHARIB: I'm fine, thank you. Let's begin by just getting your view on what you think is going to be most important issue for investors in the new year.

HORMATS: Well, I think investors are going to start focusing on the budge deficit a little bit more next year than they have this year for several reasons, one of which is it's got to be bigger, but the second is that we're gradually building up large amounts of Federal debt in the coming decades. It's going to get even worse because we're going to have huge bills for Medicare and for Social Security. So we're leaving the next generation with a huge financial burden. We're in a way disenfranchising the next generation of taxpayers since they'll have to pay interest on the Federal debt plus rising Medicare expenditures, plus rising Social Security expenditures. That's a big problem for our children and grandchildren. At some point we've got to focus on that now and be responsible about it.

GHARIB: Speaking of deficits, we've seen former Secretary of State James Baker traveling around trying to get commitments from our allies to help in the reconstruction and rescheduling of debt in Iraq. What impact is all of that going to have on the U.S. economy and our deficit?

HORMATS: Well, that's going to be important. It's going to be important particularly to the Iraqis because the Iraqis now have obligations that were incurred by Saddam Hussein, both debt obligations and reparations. And a large rescheduling is going to be required and a very generous one. If that does not occur, Iraq's going to have to use a lot of its money to pay off its debt and of course that will mean that the American taxpayer will have to pay more money to Iraq. So it's very important. This is going to be the biggest debt rescheduling in history, probably the most politically controversial, because of all the various issues surrounding it. And in many ways the most important because if Iraq goes into the next few years with a huge debt service overhang, it cripples its recovery prospects.

GHARIB: And what crippling impact might that have on the U.S. economy?

HORMATS: Well, that would be very bad. First of all if the Iraqis can't get their economy in order, and can't provide basic services for their people, then the prospect of instability is one that we're going to have to face for a longer period of time. And second if the economy deteriorates in Iraq further or doesn't get any better, then unfortunately the American taxpayer is going to have to pay a large portion of the bill. So what Baker is trying to do is to get other countries to provide more money. First of all it helps the Iraqis and second it helps the United States.

GHARIB: OK. Bob, you heard our reporting about the dollar and the declining dollar and one of the experts in our report saying that it could see a 10 percent decline in the dollar in 2004. So we want to know what your thinking is about the importance of the weak dollar for investors going forward.

HORMATS: Well, I do think the dollar's going to deteriorate further next year. First of all, it needs to to a degree to help improve our trade balances was suggested. It hasn't had much of a negative impact yet. Traditionally when a currency goes down, there's concern about interest rates going up and inflation going up. We really haven't seen that. As long as the dollar decline remains orderly, I think it will be a plus for the United States and it will put pressure on other countries to stimulate their economies more, which will help their growth. So as long as there's an orderly decline, I wouldn't worry too much. There's always the danger of course that it could decline very sharply and abruptly. That would hurt interest rates and would cause disruption in financial markets.

GHARIB: Let's talk a little bit about market trends and what are some of the trends that investors should be aware of.

HORMATS: Well, I think basically they should look for very strong growth in the rest of the world, stronger next year than this year. China is going to grow rapidly. Japan should do better, even Europe looks like it's doing better, and of course I think the United States is still going to have a positive year, maybe not as great as the third quarter of this year, but in the four percent range and that would be a very good scenario for world markets.

GHARIB: There was a published report today saying that dividends, companies offering dividends will be very important for investors. Do you agree with that?

HORMATS: Well, if that's the case, it's very different from what happened this year. This year the companies that paid very small dividends or even no dividends, did far better than companies that paid large dividends. And it was because the investor tends to look for growth, it looks for return on capital, and they really don't look so much at dividends, but at companies that are going to grow more and it's better to find a company that is likely to increase dividends than buying a company that has high dividends, that pays high dividends.

GHARIB: We just have 30 seconds left. Will 2004 be better for investor confidence? What's your view on that?

HORMATS: I think it will be. Balance sheets are much cleaner than they were a couple of years ago. Growth looks stronger; capital spending looks better. The world economy is in better balance than before. I look for a pretty positive year for investors in most parts of the world. There is always the risk of terrorism and other things that could happen, but generally the underlying economic outlook is very positive and so is the underlying investment outlook.

GHARIB: Oh, that's a good note to end on. Thank you very much, Bob. Happy new year to you.

HORMATS: Same to you, Susie.

GHARIB: We've been speaking with Robert Hormats of Goldman Sachs International.

12/29/03: The IPO Outlook For 2004<

PAUL KANGAS: As we've been reporting, the major stock indexes hit new yearly highs today and one of the beneficiaries of that enthusiasm is the IPO market. After three slow years, the market for initial public offerings is perking up. As Suzanne Pratt reports, experts are predicting that IPO's should build on their current momentum.

SUZANNE PRATT, NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT CORRESPONDENT: As year's go, 2003 was one most Wall Street underwriters would like to forget. Sure, IPO activity started to pick up late in the fall. But 2003 was still the worst IPO market in three decades. According to Renaissance Capital, only 68 deals went public in the U.S. this year. That compares to 70 deals in 2002 and 83 in 2001. 2003 looks even worse when you consider that a whopping 864 companies went public at the height of the bull market in 1996.

DAVID MENLOW PRESIDENT, IPOFINANANCIAL.COM: The year was very difficult for IPOs mostly because of the tremendous uncertainty surrounding the economic forecasts. And adding to that equation certainly was the uncertainty about the Iraqi situation.

PRATT: Nevertheless, the last minute rush of deals priced in 2003 suggests that 2004 will be much improved for IPOs. Experts predict as many as 200 companies will go public next year, although most say only names with a profitable track record are likely to come to market.

MENLOW: This is going to set the tone for a much more stabilized market with opening premiums that are not going to be out of control. And it will give the individual investors the opportunity to buy real companies with real earnings, real products, real services and real prospects for growth.

PRATT: IPO experts predict offerings from a broad range of sectors in 2004, including technology and financial services. A possible IPO from Internet search engine Google is one of the most widely anticipated deals. Experts say if Google goes well, it could inspire more investors to return to IPOs.

RICHARD PETERSON CHIEF MKT STRATEGIST: A successful Google deal, a successful pricing of the offering will help to enhance the environment for IPOs and move the industry higher going on to 2005.

PRATT: One other thing to keep in mind is that the outlook for IPOs depends heavily on the performance of the broader market. If the Dow and S&P 500 crumble, so goes the turnaround for new issues. Suzanne Pratt, "NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT," New York.

12/29/03: Blimps Help Ad Campaigns Really Get Off The Ground

SUSIE GHARIB: Well, it's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's a blimp! Fans at major outdoor sporting events often find a corporate blimp hovering overhead. And as Jeff Yastine reports, these airships are finding increasing business with companies trying to "cut through the clutter."

JEFF YASTINE, NITHTLY BUSINESS REPORT CORRESPONDENT: Three years ago, Saturn, a unit of General Motors, was looking for an unique way to market a new car model, the Ion and make an indelible impression on car buyers. The company chose a helium filled, fabric covered blimp as its marketing vehicle. 165 feet long, with 150,000 cubic feet of helium, it's a flying "corporate billboard" that's hard to ignore.

TONY PARROTTINO, MARKETING SATURN: We're willing to take the fact that we're going to make it as strong a brand message as we possibly can by getting the awareness out there of the product. And by using the light ship right now we're using it to promote the Ion, which is a car we have launched starting about a year ago now in the sedan and we launched the coupe in May in the springtime.

YASTINE: Of course, when you're talking about blimps, Goodyear is the granddaddy of them all. Airships bearing the Goodyear name have been fixtures at sporting events for decades. But in recent years, dozens of other companies have been getting into the corporate airship game, from retailers like Tommy Hilfiger, to monster.com, Kraft, and the Weather Channel. The reason? Marketers say reaching distracted consumers is getting tougher.

JAMES DETTORE, CEO, BRAND INSTITUTE: Other forms might not be working today, in today's Internet world. The Internet is so strong, as far as advertising is concerned, with electronic media and some print. These new forms, everyone's always looking at a new form of media that can be a breakthrough and still at the same time have a good return on the investment.

YASTINE: For corporate sponsors, there's an additional gain, when it comes to televised sports events.

PARROTTINO: We can then offer the services that we provide for that tradeoff of 10 seconds every hour on a mention that the aerial coverage is either brought to by the lightship or aerial coverage is brought to you by Saturn Corporation and that equates to real dollars for us that we would have to go pay for, on events like NFL football, the World Series, playoff games, things that you normally just can't afford to go buy.

YASTINE: Try to go buy a corporate blimp, and it will set you back plenty. The purchase price for an airship can cost well over $2 million. Leasing one comes to $100,000 a month or more. But that's small change for companies hoping to make a big impact on consumers. Jeff Yastine, "NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT," Miami.

12/29/03: "Paul Kangas' Stocks In The News"

PAUL KANGAS: Wall Street opened on a firm note, continuing last week's steady year-end rally, despite little positive news to spur the buyers. Thirty minutes into the trading session, the Dow was up about 60 points. NASDAQ Index rose 18. Stocks faded briefly when the dollar hit another new low against the euro, but buyers used that weakness to add to their holdings. The snap-back rally really began to roll as money managers bought a wide array of winning stocks to dress up their portfolios for year's end reports. The NASDAQ's push above the 2000 level triggered even more buying. The Dow Jones Industrial Average surged to a 125 or 1.2 percent gain at 10,450 even. That's a 21-month closing high. The NASDAQ Composite soared 33 1/3 points or 1.7 percent to 2,006.48, its best level in almost two years. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was up 13.59 points or 1.2 percent, ending at 1109.48. Over in the bond market, the 10-year note fell 23/22 (ph) to par (ph) and 2/32, putting the yield at 4.24 percent.

Topping the New York Exchange active list on 15.3 million shares, Lucent Technologies (LU) edging $0.03 higher, followed by General Electric (GE), $0.31 gain there.

Similar rise by Motorola (MOT).

And Nokia (NOK) was up $0.35.

AT&T Wireless (AWE) fifth in big board volume, gained $0.20 per share.

McDonald's (MCB) up $0.51. JPMorgan brokerage upgraded McDonald's stock from "underweight" to "overweight."

Pfizer (PFE) edged $0.25 higher.

ExxonMobil (EOM), $0.53 gain.

Liberty Media (L) up $0.13.

And the only loser in the 10 most actives, Ford Motor (F) but down just $0.02 a share.

Boeing (BA) closed up $0.53 and after the market closed, the company was awarded an $8.5 billion contract to build the 210 F-18 fighter jets for the U.S. Navy. In after hours trading, Boeing stock got up as high as $43 a share on that news.

Dow Chemical (DOW) was up there for a moment, was up $0.70 at $42 even, even though the Smith Barney brokerage downgraded it from "buy" to "hold" on a valuation basis. The stock bucked that trend and closed up $0.70.

Hormel Foods (HRL) down $.58. CS First Boston brokerage downgraded it from "outperform" to "neutral" in reaction to the mad cow disease threat.

And the same thing happened to Smithfield Foods Inc (SFD), downgrade by CS First Boston from "outperform" to "neutral" for the same reason.

Newmont Mining Corp. (NEM), the granddaddy of the gold stocks, up $1.72. New York gold futures for the February month were up $2.50 to $415.30 an ounce. That is close to an eight-year high. The whole group was strong.

CIT Group (CIT) up $1.13, positive comments about it in "Barron's." The new magazine out this week noting that new senior management is taking hold. The company's earnings are on the rise and the taint of the former unit of Tyco seems to be fading. Some also see this company as a potential take over target so a number of reasons for that gain.

IDT CORP Group (IDT) of course, Corp. I should say, up $2.61. "Barron's" article positive there, suggests the stock price is not reflecting the company's potential profitability. This company dominates the prepaid phone card business for immigrants interestingly. It also makes animated movies among other things, kind of a little conglomerate.

Genesee & Wyoming (GWR) up $1.62. That stock has been very strong as you can see since announcing last week that it will be acquiring three short line railroads from Georgia Pacific for $56 million. Genesee also increased its 2004 earnings guidance and that helped the stock today.

Eli Lilly (LLY) gaining $1 to $71.62. The company received FDA approval to market Simbiax. That's a combination of Prozac and Ziprexa which will treat the depressive phase of bipolar disorders.

NASDAQ's most active, Microsoft (MSFT) moved up $0.25.

Followed by Intel (INTC), $0.79 gain there.

Cisco (CSCO) gained $0.65.

Nextel Communications (NXTL) rising $1.13.

And Qualcomm (QCOM) number five in dollar volume on NASDAQ, up $1.79 a share. Nice move there.

Dell (DELL) gained $0.50 a share.

And XM Satellite (XMSR) moving up $1.87, nice move there. The stock benefiting from positive comments about satellite radio in this week's "Barron's" Financial.

eBay (EBAY), $0.76 gain.

Applied Materials (AMAT) up $0.55.

And then Amazon.com (AMZN), tenth in dollar volume on NASDAQ showed no change on the day.

Nanogen (NGEN) up $1.55 and traded as high as $10.29. Zaks (ph) Investment Research had a positive report out on stocks in the nano technology business. Incidentally, nano technology builds electronic circuits from single atoms and molecules. That's the short explanation in any case.

And then a nice move by Trinity Biotech (TRIB) up nearly 57 percent today. The company received FDA marketing approval for its HIV test. It's called Unigold recomnigen.

And over on the American Exchange, another precious metals stock, Apex Silver Mines (SIL) rising $3, almost 17 percent. New York March silver contract closed up $0.14 to $5.93 an ounce today.

And those are the stocks in the news tonight.
