The Santa Claus Rally Lives
SUSIE GHARIB: Blue chip stocks gave investors an early Christmas
present today. The Dow added only 11 points but it was enough
to push the average to a fresh 3 1/2 year high. The NASDAQ
gained three points to close near its high for the year. New
economic data out today showed a rise in consumer sentiment
but a steep drop in new home sales. Scott Gurvey reports.
SCOTT GURVEY, NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT CORRESPONDENT: The
Santa Claus rally continued today on Wall Street in light
trading and in spite of news that was mostly negative. The
dollar fell to a new low, $1.35, against the euro and also
fell against the yen on speculation that the president does
not plan action to support the currency. Also out today, word
that the new home sales fell 12 percent in November, the deepest
one month decline in more than 10 years. Sales ran at an annual
rate of 1.125 million in the month. They were 1.278 million
in October.
DREW MATUS, SR. MKT. ECONOMIST, LEHMAN BROTHERS: We know
that there is probably some sort of slowdown in the housing
market for the month of November but what we don`t know is
what caused it. Is this something that`s going to be sustained
or is this a one-time event and then it will go up because
mortgage rates are still at very low levels.
GURVEY: First time claims for state unemployment benefits
rose sharply for the week ending December 18 after posting
the largest decline in three years the previous week. On a
more positive note, new orders for durable goods rose a faster
than expected 1.6 percent in November. That`s the largest
increase since July and consumer sentiment seems to be improving.
The University of Michigan`s consumer confidence index for
December rose sharply to 97.1. That`s compared to a November
reading of 92.8.
KATHLEEN CAMILLI, PRESIDENT, CAMILLI ECONOMICS: I went back
and looked at some of the history and whenever the consumer
expectations index is around 90, it`s consistent with an economy
that`s growing between four and four and a half. So overall,
I think things are still quite good.
GURVEY: Personal income outpaced spending in November with
the savings rate rising to 0.3 percent, up from 0.1 percent
in October. The personal consumption expenditure price index,
one of Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan`s favorite inflation indicators,
rose just 0.1 percent in the month. The markets will be closed
tomorrow starting a three-day holiday weekend. On Monday begins
the final five trading days of 2004. Scott Gurvey, NIGHTLY
BUSINESS REPORT, New York.

The Yukos Auction May Be The Gateway
To Change In Russia
PAUL KANGAS: Russian President Vladimir Putin said today
the auction of the production arm of oil giant Yukos is an
important step towards reversing the privatization drive of
the 1990s. That message has western investors worried and
it could affect foreign investment in Russia. Darren Gersh
reports.
DARREN GERSH, NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT CORRESPONDENT: Russian
President Vladimir Putin today accused businessmen of using
tricks and breaking laws to acquire billions of dollars worth
of state property after the fall of the Soviet Union. The
sale of Yukos oil assets Putin argues is fully legal. Washington
lawyer Sarah Carey, who is now resigning her post as a Yukos
independent director, calls Putin`s comments posturing.
SARAH CAREY, INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR, YUKOS: I think what is
pretty surprising is that he is critical of what happened
in the `90s, but his government has used exactly the same
tactics, so in the auction they had a non-existent company,
a front, bidding for other parties, no disclosure, no transparency.
GERSH: The Yukos story has more twists than a Russian novel.
In October, the Kremlin declared Yukos owed a total of $27
billion in back taxes. Its founder, Mikhail Khordokovsky,
now spends his days jailed in a cage while he is tried on
charges of tax evasion and fraud. Yukos` core asset, oil fields
that pump one million barrels a day, were auctioned off last
Sunday to a front company called Baikal Financial. Baikal
has now been bought by Russian oil firm Rosneft which is in
the process of merging with state-controlled energy giant
Gazprom. The Kremlin is also targeting other sectors, seeking
back taxes from Russia`s number two telecom company. To the
outside world, it looks as if tax laws are being used to re-assert
government control over key Russian industries.
BLAKE MARSHALL, EXECUTIVE V.P., U.S.-RUSSIA BUSINESS COUNCIL:
It`s a troubling signal to be sure and it gives investors
pause, especially with respect to follow on investments. We
don`t expect that a great deal of companies are going to pick
up and leave the marketplace, but they may tap the brake in
terms of future activity.
GERSH: More like slam on the brakes. $15 billion is expected
to have fled Russia by the end of the year. If U.S. investors
pull back in Russia, the Chinese may take their place, as
Putin has been turning more to the east, building trade and
energy relationships. Darren Gersh, NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT,
Washington.

Airports Rally Pole Positions For
Thailand's Top Spot
SUSIE GHARIB: Bangkok`s new international airport is finally
taking shape, four decades after Thailand`s government first
approved the idea and after countless postponements. It`s
set to be completed in September. As Rian Maelzer reports,
that`s not a moment too soon, given the race to be southeast
Asia`s premier air hub.
RIAN MAELZER, NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT CORRESPONDENT: A couple
of years ago, this whole place was covered with rice paddies
and fish ponds and known as cobra swamp. Today, after massive
draining and in filling, Bangkok`s new international airport
is rapidly rising behind the clouds of dust at a cost of $3.7
billion. The project couldn`t be put off any longer, what
with Bangkok`s aged existing airport at maximum capacity.
Last year, Bangkok International Airport overtook Singapore`s
Changi as the busiest airport in southeast Asia with some
30 million passenger arrivals. But when it comes to cargo,
Singapore`s Changi easily remains tops. And Changi, with its
amenities like free Internet access, free movie theater, free
swimming pool, plus its huge array of shops and restaurants,
clearly wins the popularity race, many times being voted the
world`s best airport. Changi`s management also aims to be
popular with the airlines hard hit by outbreaks of SARS and
wars. Bangkok to the surprise of many, is set to increase
aircraft landing fees by 20 percent. Singapore, meanwhile,
is offering rebates that will make it the second cheapest
airport in southeast Asia behind only Kuala Lumpur.
ALBERT TJOENG, CIVIL AVIATION AUTHORITY, SINGAPORE: We are
keeping ourselves flexible and nimble to adjust to these changes
so that as the developments happen we will adapt to them and
at the same time we will look for new ways to innovate to
keep the travelers` experience at Changi an enjoyable one.
MAELZER: There`s plenty at stake in being a top aviation
hub aside from national pride. The aviation sector accounts
for more than 9 percent of Singapore`s GDP and some 90,000
jobs. Thailand`s authorities are well aware of the potential
bounty.
SERIRAT PRASUTANOND, AIRPORTS OF THAILAND PUBLIC CO. (through
translator): We need the new airport and state-of-the-art
facilities to meet our goal of being the number one aviation
hub of the region. The airport will impress visitors and assist
the government`s goal of boosting tourism and increasing the
country`s economic development.
MAELZER: The new airport is set to have what`s touted as
the world`s largest single terminal and a capacity of around
45 million passengers a year. And there`s plenty of room for
growth.
JASBIR SINGH, MNG. EDITOR, ASIAN AIRLINES & AEROSPACE:
The new airport has given them an opportunity to start from
scratch and plan a facility that they can use for a long period
to come. It is going to improve the comfort for passengers,
the services available and it is going to improve the efficiency
that they need to bring in the airlines.
MAELZER: But even with a snazzy new airport, and Thailand`s
immense and growing popularity with tourists, analysts say
that overtaking Singapore as the region`s best and not just
busiest airport, will be a long haul. Rian Maelzer, NIGHTLY
BUSINESS REPORT, Bangkok.

"Market Monitor"- Thomas
Herzfeld, president of Thomas J. Herzfeld Advisors
PAUL KANGAS: My guest "Market Monitor" this week
is Thomas Herzfeld, president of Thomas J. Herzfeld Advisors.
And Tom is acknowledged as one of the world`s foremost authorities
on closed end funds and welcome back to NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT.
Great to see you.
THOMAS HERZFELD, PRESIDENT, THOMAS HERZFELD ADVISORS: Thank
you, Paul. Happy holidays to you.
KANGAS: And the same to you.
HERZFELD: Thank you.
KANGAS: Give us an update on the latest trends in the world
of closed end funds if you would.
HERZFELD: The trend is that there are a lot of new issues.
The industry enjoyed 51 new closed end funds launched this
year, four just today, $24 billion raised.
KANGAS: Why so much activity in that respect, the improved
market I imagine?
HERZFELD: People are interested in closed end funds which
we`re very happy to see.
KANGAS: Especially when they can buy them at discount so
often as you`ll point out I`m sure. As a matter of fact, on
your last visit with us way back on August 1, 2003, too long
ago, you gave us five buy recommendations at the time. Let`s
see how they have done. There we see two municipal bond funds,
one is up 8.2 and other 4.4. That`s very nice. And then you
gave us five recommendations at the time. The Zweig did well
and the TCW is way up, appreciating and of course in the meantime,
these are all yielding pretty good yields aren`t they?
HERZFELD: All of the funds on that list pay monthly dividends.
KANGAS: OK and look at this one how it appreciated, the Boulder,
up 36.5 percent. I compliment you on those choices. Do you
still own them?
HERZFELD: We still own some of them, yes, but we`re active
traders as you know and we buy and sell all the time.
KANGAS: But I understand you and your family owned every
closed end mutual fund in existence. Is that true?
HERZFELD: From one share to a million shares.
KANGAS: Is that right? Very good indeed. Do you have any
new buy recommendations?
HERZFELD: Well, today we published our New Year`s buy list
after the close. There were 63 issues on our list and I thought
we would discuss four of them today.
KANGAS: That would be very good. Let`s have number one.
HERZFELD: Well, all of these are new issues except for the
last. The first is Pioneer tax advantage balanced trust, PBF.
It came to market early this year. It was at a 4 percent premium.
Now it`s at a 14 percent discount to net asset value.
KANGAS: That`s what attracts you to buying it, that discount.
HERZFELD: Well, these were new issues and the premiums have
flipped over to discounts because of year end tax selling.
KANGAS: OK. All right. Let`s have a second choice that you
like.
HERZFELD: Salomon Brothers capital and income fund. It was
at a 7 percent premium in the spring. It`s now at a 14 percent
discount to net asset value, its widest of the year.
KANGAS: And look at the yield, 7 percent, is that right?
HERZFELD: I believe so.
KANGAS: That`s very good. All right. Let`s continue.
HERZFELD: This one has a tax advantaged feature, John Hancock
tax advantage dividend and income fund. HTD is the symbol.
It was at a 6 percent premium earlier this year. It`s now
at a 15 percent discount to net asset value, its widest of
the year.
KANGAS: Where do all these trade, on the New York or American
exchange?
HERZFELD: Most trade on the New York Stock Exchange. The
last one is a muni fund, Insured Municipal Income fund. It`s
not a new fund but it was at a 5 percent discount in March,
has expanded to 15 percent currently. It`s a 6 percent yield
tax free.
KANGAS: Now I understand and learned this through you is
that so many of these new funds coming to market soon trade
at discounts to the initial offering price, is that not the
case?
HERZFELD: Well when a fund comes to market at 20, there could
be up to a dollar of underwriting fees, so investors pay 20
for $19 in net assets and by the end of the year, they`re
often trading at 16 and 17.
KANGAS: Well, with this history in mind, why would anyone
buy the initial public offering?
HERZFELD: We wonder that ourselves but nevertheless be like
to buy them when they go to 15 percent discounts.
KANGAS: And you trade a lot.
HERZFELD: We`re very active traders. We own all of these
and we`re going to trade, we trade in and out all day long.
KANGAS: OK. We just have time for maybe a final bit of advice
to investors.
HERZFELD: Well, Santa Claus is the time of the year to buy
closed end funds.
KANGAS: I know you like to come on with us at the end of
the year because of that reason.
HERZFELD: It`s the best time.
KANGAS: OK. Tom, thanks very much. It`s always great to see
you.
HERZFELD: Thank you Paul.
KANGAS: My guest "Market Monitor" Thomas Herzfeld,
president of Thomas J. Herzfeld Advisors.

Commentary-Now Is Not The Time To Bounce The Bowl Games
SUSIE GHARIB: If you`re like millions of other Americans,
you or someone you love will spend hours glued to the television
watching college bowl games in the next two weeks. Tonight`s
commentator says that`s a good thing. Here`s Rick Horrow,
president of Horrow Sports Ventures and author of "When
the Game Is on the Line."
RICK HORROW, PRES., HORROW SPORTS VENTURES: We are about to
kick off the big hype, big money, college football bowl season,
28 bowls in 22 days, leading up to college football`s national
championship between Oklahoma and U.S.C. in the Orange Bowl
on January 4, also known as ABC`s $930 million reasons to
keep the BCS, the bowl championship series, status quo. That`s
how much the network spends to televise and promote the series.
Do we really need two dozen plus largely mediocre bowls? Absolutely.
While cynics argue that the niche bowls serve little useful
purpose, pointing to attendance and ratings declines and corporate
musical chairs, the pundits ignore the big dollar picture.
The 28 bowls have a combined payout of $181.6 million and
the four BCS games, the Rose, Fiesta, Sugar, and Orange, have
an average payout of $14 million to $17 million per team.
Corporate America is spending $7.2 billion to pay for the
sports tie-ins and the recall of bowl titles is one of the
most effective corporate investments through a sports calendar
year and 25 of the bowls have a corporate name attached. Eight
sponsors, from Champs Sports to Capital One have taken over
the brand of their respective bowls. To the cynics who say
these bowls are not useful, note that city officials from
New York and Toronto to New York to Denver and San Diego are
chasing additional bowls. Rather than overkill, the bowl business
is stronger than ever. I`m Rick Horrow.

Paul Kangas' "Stocks In The News"
PAUL KANGAS: Wall Street continued its winning ways this morning as that stronger
than expected durable goods rise and the increase in consumer sentiment
overshadowed the big drop in new home sales. By late morning, the Dow was up
50 points and the NASDAQ Composite up eight points. The market faded this
afternoon on that new low for the dollar against the euro and of course
caution ahead of a long upcoming weekend. The Dow Industrial Average
salvaged an 11 1/4 points closing gain putting it at 10,827.12. The Dow rose
in all of this week`s four sessions for a net gain of 177.20 points. The
NASDAQ Composite closed up 3 1/2 points to 2160.62 today and it rose in
three of the four sessions this week gaining 25.42 points overall. The
Standard & Poor`s 500 gained about 1/2 point to close at 1210.13 today. Over
in the bond market, the 10-year note ended down 5/32 at par and 8/32,
putting the yield at 4.22 percent.
Every day this week Pfizer (PFE) has topped the active list on the big
board, today trading nearly 34 million shares and moving up $0.12.
Followed by Citigroup (C) with a $0.44 gain.
Lucent (LU) edged a penny higher.
ExxonMobil (XOM) a $0.68 rise.
EMC (EMC) fifth in volume was up a penny.
Merck & Company (MRK) gained $0.08.
General Electric (GE) dropped $0.07. Nortel Networks (NT) a $0.09 rise.
J.P. Morgan Chase (JPM) up $0.13, tenth in big board volume.
Wal-Mart Stores (WMT) down $0.42.
American Greetings (AM) down $3.66. The story here, third quarter operating
earnings down $0.51 versus $0.58 a year ago and sales actually dropped 2.9
percent. Incidentally, that $0.51 in earnings was $0.18 below the Street
estimate and on top of that the company sees 2005 earnings around $1.46 to
$1.51 when the Street was expecting $1.76, not good greetings there today
for that company.
Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) up $1.58. CS First Boston brokerage upgraded it
from "neutral" to "outperform."
Then Micron Technology (MU) losing $0.08. First quarter earnings $0.23 a
share. That was a penny above the Street estimate but the 14 percent
increase in sales was slightly below the Wall Street estimate.
Masonite International Corporation (MHM) going to be taken over by Kolhberg
Kravis Roberts. The price Canadian, $3.1 billion. That works out to $40.20
in Canadian funds.
Robert Haft International (RHI) moved up $2.13. Morgan Stanley upgraded it
from "equal weight" to "over weight."
And then Genentech (DNA) rising $1.85. First Global Securities upgraded it
from "sector perform" to "market outperform."
Elk Corporation (ELK) in the roofing products business up $2.70. The company
sees second quarter earnings exceeding its earlier $0.44 to $0.46 per share
estimate by at least $0.15 a share.
Novastar Financial (NFI) tumbled $5.71. The company cut its 2004 earnings
guidance from the $4.50 to $5 range all the way down to $4.10 to $4.40.
And then Global Payments (GPN) a $3.19 gain there. Second quarter earnings
comfortably higher, $0.59 versus $0.38 last year, $0.06 above the Street
estimate incidentally and revenues were up 27 percent. The company also
boosted 2005 earnings guidance.
Once again topping the active list on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ 100 (QQQQ) moving
up $0.03.
Followed by Microsoft (MSFT) with a $0.04 gain.
Cisco (CSCO) $0.13 rise.
Intel (INTC) rose $0.09.
Google (GOOG), fifth in dollar volume, was up $1.60.
Network Appliance (NTAP) down $1.02. RBC Capital downgraded it from
"outperform" to "sector perform."
eBAY (EBAY) a $0.07 loss.
Red Hat (RHAT) down $2.04. Third quarter earnings tripled, $0.05 versus last
year`s $0.02 and that is just in line and sales of $51 million was a million
below the Wall Street estimate. That`s what hurt the stock apparently.
Nextel Communications (NXTL) down $0.31.
Qualcomm (QCOM) was up $0.11, tenth in dollar volume.
Over on the American Exchange, DHB Industries (DHB) up $3.92. That`s a 21
percent gain. The company has gotten a three-year Army contract for
bullet-proof body vests bringing the company`s total backlog to over $500
million.
And those are the "Stocks in the News" tonight.
