12/22/05: New York's Transit System Gets Back on Track Without A Contract

SUSIE GHARIB: New York City`s three-day transit strike is over tonight. Union leaders voted to return to work without a new contract while negotiations continue. Transit workers are already reporting back to work for their shifts. City buses are expected to be back in service this evening, subways by tomorrow morning. City officials estimate the New York City economy may have lost $1 billion due to the strike, which caused sales at some local businesses to plunge as much as 90 percent. But Mayor Michael Bloomberg says the city fared well under the circumstances.

MAYOR MICHAEL BLOOMBERG, NEW YORK CITY: This was really a very big test for our city and I think it`s fair to say we passed the test with flying colors. It wasn`t easy and certainly serious economic harm was inflicted. But we did what we had to do to keep the city running and running safely.

SUSIE GHARIB: Meanwhile, a strike is in the works by the transit workers of London`s subway system, the underground. The union members voted today to walk off the job on New Year`s Eve. That`s usually the busiest night of the year for the system because the city lets people ride the tube for free. The strike is set to begin at midday on December 31 and finish 24 hours later. A London underground spokesman said the two sides are still talking. He hopes a strike can be avoided.

12/22/05: Wall Street Sees Signs of a Santa Claus Rally

PAUL KANGAS: Christmas came a bit early to Wall Street today and the present was a respectable rally in stocks. The Dow gained 55 points, the NASDAQ 14 points. Although this week has been disappointing for investors, many market pros are still dreaming of a Santa Claus rally. Suzanne Pratt reports.

SUZANNE PRATT, NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT CORRESPONDENT: Will he or won`t he? In the final trading days left before the end of 2005, that`s the big question on Wall Street. History shows that Santa tends to make an appearance in the form of a rally within the last five days of the year and the first two in January. According to the "Stock Trader`s Almanac," since 1969, a Santa Claus rally has been good for an average 1.7 percent gain in the Standard & Poor`s index. Since 1950, it has supplied an average increase of 1.5 percent. Many experts believe Santa will show up this year.

MICHAEL METZ, CHIEF INVESTMENT STRATEGIST, OPPENHEIMER & CO.: I think the conditions are pretty favorable for the market right now. Valuations are OK. The economy is in good shape. Interest rates are not a problem, inflation is not a problem. I think there`s plenty of money waiting to get into the market. So I have a feeling, aside from the random trading noise we get, the bias is upward here.

PRATT: Others, however, are slightly more cautious, saying the stock market`s recent momentum could make old St. Nick a no show this year. After all, since bottoming in October, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is up about 700 points or nearly 7 percent.

JAMES AWAD, CHAIRMAN, AWAD ASSET MANAGEMENT: The only negative is that we`ve come very far off the lows and the question becomes how much of that have we built in? So, I would say there`s a slightly better than even chance that we will end up pushing through higher the last several trading days of the year.

PRATT: If Santa fails to show, Wall Street lore also says his absence has historically preceded bear markets. Most Wall Street pros, however, are not forecasting a bear market for next year.

AWAD: `06 I think is going to be a respectable not gangbusters year, 3 percent plus economic growth, real GNP growth, 10 percent profit growth and probably similar to that in stock prices.

PRATT: Most experts say a Santa Claus rally isn`t fundamentally important to the stock market, but it is psychologically. Curiously, if stocks do rally in the coming week, not only will the Dow end in positive territory for the year, but it may finally cross 11,000 again. Suzanne Pratt, NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT, New York.

12/22/05:Medicare Administrator Mark McClellan Shares Secrets To Surviving The System

PAUL KANGAS: The Bush administration says a million Americans have signed up for coverage under the new Medicare prescription drug benefit. That`s about 5 percent of those expected to eventually sign up for the new coverage, which begins January 1. To put those numbers in perspective, Washington bureau chief Darren Gersh spoke with Medicare administrator Mark McClellan. Darren began by asking Dr. McClellan how the sign up is going.

DR. MARK MCCLELLAN, MEDICARE ADMINISTRATOR: We`ve seen a big spike in enrollment like we expected. But it`s even larger than we expected. Right off the bat in January, over 21 million people are going to have secure drug coverage as a result of the Medicare prescription drug benefit. The reason that number is so large is because we`ve seen a strong response from employers. Many employers are keeping their coverage and working with the Medicare program to help pay for it and keep that coverage in place. In addition to that, we`re seeing tens of thousands of people everyday enroll in prescription drug coverage on their own.

DARREN GERSH, NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT CORRESPONDENT: Well, one of the key questions that analysts have is how many people signed up for this new benefit voluntarily? They`re not in employer plans. They`re not automatically enrolled in the new prescription drug benefit. And I`ve heard that the number of people who have voluntarily signed up is pretty low. You say tens of thousands but there are millions of people out there.

MCCLELLAN: Tens of thousands a day and in the first four weeks of the program we`ve seen steady and growing interest, strong interest in enrolling in the coverage. Many of the drug plans have already announced numbers that add up to millions of people getting new drug coverage on their own through enrolling in the program. And remember that we`re very early on in the enrollment process. People can sign up for coverage all the way up until May 15, 2006. And if you talk to a lot of the benefits experts, they say most people tend to procrastinate. They tend to wait until pretty close to the deadline, more than 80 percent of people signing up at the end.

GERSH: I looked at California and there are about 80 plans that people can sign up for in California, dozens and dozens of options. How are seniors supposed to pick among dozens and dozens of options?

MCCLELLAN: One of the real benefits of having options available is that people can get coverage that meet their needs and we have strong competition. As a result of the competition, the actual cost of the drug benefit is going to be at least 15 percent lower than independent budget experts had been predicting. In addition to that, people have better coverage options. There are lots of places that people can go to help take 40 choices down to four or three or two or one. One of those places is our 1-800-Medicare customer service line. If people call up and have just a little bit of information, a list of the drugs they take, any pharmacies they like to use, how they get their drug coverage now in just a matter of minutes we can help them narrow down the choices to just a few that are a very good fit based on their needs.

GERSH: There are some reports out there from interest groups that say that these new drug plans are not getting prices that are as good as the prices you can get at the Veteran`s Administration. So are we getting the best prices from these new prescription drug plans?

MCCLELLAN: There have been studies done recently showing that the drug plans are negotiating very aggressively to get the prices down. More than 20 percent are up to 40 percent below the retail prices that seniors are paying today. And that is why the cost of this coverage, the premiums that people are paying, the costs of the government for the subsidies is coming in so much lower than people had expected.

GERSH: Let`s talk about drug companies for a moment. One analysis I saw indicated that drug companies are going to get pretty decent prices and they`re going to get a lot more business under this new program. Is this going to be a pretty good deal for drug companies?

MCCLELLAN: I do think it`s correct that millions more people are going to be using more prescription drugs because they can now afford them. From a drug company standpoint, that may be a wash. Most of the projections have drug company revenues going down a bit on net because of the price discounts not being fully made up by the increase in volume. But the bottom line is that people are much better off. I`d much rather pay a lower price for a lot more drugs for seniors who need them than the system that we had before where seniors were paying some of the highest drug prices in the world.

GERSH: Now what happens to somebody who signs up in December and they haven`t gotten their card for their new prescription drug plan in January? Are they going to be able to get coverage? Because there`s a lot of concern that if you haven`t gotten your card maybe you won`t be able to get your drug coverage in January or maybe you`re going to have trouble when you go to the pharmacy.

MCCLELLAN: That`s a very good question. If people sign up in December, they will be covered in January. What you should expect is after you apply for the new drug benefit, you`ll get a letter from your drug plan in about a week or so that will include information about how you can use the drug coverage before you get your drug card. So hold on to that letter just like enrolling in any other health insurance plan. You can use that as proof of insurance when you go to a pharmacy if you need to get prescriptions filled right away. Within a few more weeks, three to five weeks after you apply for the program, you`ll get your insurance card. All the rest of the enrollment information and you`ll be fully in the system from then on.

GERSH: Mark McClellan, Medicare administrator, thank you very much.

MCCLELLAN: Thank you.

12/22/05: Hedge Funds Are Hot In Japan

SUSIE GHARIB: Hedge funds are a hit these days in Japan. A new study by Japan`s financial services agency found the value of hedge funds sold in that country was almost triple the level of just three years ago. And just like in the U.S., hedge funds in Japan are lowering the barriers to entry in order to lure individual investors. From Tokyo, Lucy Craft reports.

LUCY CRAFT, NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT CORRESPONDENT: The jazz, hot. The crowd, juiced. The occasion, the semi-annual Tokyo hedge funds club cocktail party for managers and institutional investors. As recently as a few years ago, there were scarcely enough players in Japan to fill a room and little cause for celebration. But now, this networking organization for hedge fund managers and their clients has burgeoned to 1,000 members.

TRANSLATION OF: HIROSHI AKI, DEPUTY GEN. MGR, ASSET MANAGEMENT DIVISION/SHINSEI BANK: Japanese investors have lots of money and they`re afraid to put it all in stocks. So they`re turning to hedge funds.

CRAFT: Japanese institutions hold an estimated nearly $4 trillion worth of assets, the richest pool of investment capital on the planet. For years, they have been notorious for playing it extra-safe sticking with fixed-income securities or domestic blue chips. But now, Japanese institutions are showing an unusual appetite for risk. Japanese investors have been notoriously risk-averse and conservative. But now Japanese institutions are flocking to the volatile world of hedge funds. According to some private surveys, more than two thirds of all Japanese institutions are investing in hedge funds. That`s about twice the U.S. rate. And it`s not just institutional investors. A government survey shows that while Japanese corporate pension funds and insurers were behind about half of all hedge fund sales last fiscal year, retail investors are a growing force, accounting for nearly one-fifth of sales.

STEFAN NILSSON, FOUNDER & PRESIDENT, TOKYO HEDGE FUNDS CLUB: There`s a lot of rich retirees, like widows out in the countryside, with a fair bit of money compared to other countries and (INAUDIBLE) still the interest rate is zero.

CRAFT: It`s still early days for the Japanese hedge fund industry. Japan is home for less than 1,000 hedge funds, about 10 percent as many as in the U.S. Trailing the mature U.S. market by a decade or more, Japan suffers from a shortage of skilled managers.

CAROL HALL, PARTNER, WALKERS ASIA: Certainly, I think there`s huge room for growth and I think that we`re going to see a lot of activity in the course of next year, particularly the first quarter of next year.

CRAFT: But with its fast-graying population and savings yields of zero, Japanese have no choice, managers say, but to become more adventurous if they are seeking higher returns.

JAMES FIORILLO, MANAGING PRINCIPAL, OTTOMAN CAPITAL JAPAN: Well, obviously there`s an issue with under funded pension funds in Japan, aging of the population and so forth, with Japanese corporates. So it`s happening very slowly, but they`re starting to allocate more to hedge funds now.

CRAFT: Other so-called alternative investment vehicles, such as private equity and real estate, are thriving nowadays and could trim the hedge funds` turf. But for the short term at least, the hedge fund industry seems to have nowhere to go but up. Lucy Craft, NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT, Tokyo.

12/22/05:"Commentary"-Social Security Still Needs To Be A Top Priority

SUSIE GHARIB: Tonight`s commentator says that in the flurry to get stuff done in Congress, lawmakers have forgotten something -- something important. Here`s Allan Sloan, Wall Street editor for "Newsweek."

ALLAN SLOAN, WALL STREET EDITOR, NEWSWEEK: A year ago, everyone was talking about how to fix Social Security. Now, we barely hear about it. We`ve moved on to other things, like tax reform. Pardon me for being Grinch-like so close to the holidays, but ignoring Social Security`s problems hasn`t made them go away. They`re still out there. The problem is that Social Security can`t afford to pay baby boomers the current level of benefits when they retire. The trust fund isn`t helpful because it doesn`t actually save Social Security surpluses. And a huge tax increase isn`t going to happen. The fixes are obvious: raise the retirement age a bit; tweak the benefit formula; collect more money from the 11 million of us who earn more than the Social Security maximum. President Bush, who declared Social Security his top priority but has since moved on, insisted on private stock accounts. As an add-on, that`s a great idea. As a replacement for fixed benefits, it`s a terrible idea because most people are terrible investors. And you shouldn`t have to depend on the stock market for food money in your old age. But the president wouldn`t compromise and the Democrats wouldn`t play. So now, we`re a year closer to the day Social Security pays out more than it takes in. The longer we wait, the more painful the fixes. Some year, we`ll face reality, but not this year. Oh, well, we`ll finish brooding another day. Meanwhile happy holidays and a prosperous new year to you and yours. I`m Allan Sloan.

12/22/05:"Last Word"-Santa's Portfolio

SUSIE GHARIB: And finally tonight, what would Santa own if he had a stock portfolio? That question is asked every year by Amegy Bank of Texas and there are some interesting answers this year. He would own shares of Apple, maker of this year`s hottest line of electronics, the iPods. Even Mrs. Claus would be proud of the 130 percent return on that stock this year. He`d also have positions in Petsmart and Tractor Supply company, because of course, he has to buy reindeer and sleigh supplies. Petsmart is down for the year; Tractor Supply is up 44 percent. Santa wouldn`t be laughing all the way with his shares of Dell though, off 23 percent for this year, although his return on Google surely had visions of sugar plums dancing in his head. With these and other investments, Paul, Santa beat the Street. His portfolio is up 25 percent from this time last year, which is a real miracle on Wall Street.

PAUL KANGAS: But word has it that Rudolph has a nose for picking red hot stocks.

GHARIB: I believe you

12/21/05: "Paul Kangas' Stocks In The News"

PAUL KANGAS: Investors started the day with good economic news about November, including a small 0.1 percent rise in wholesale prices, an increase of 0.3 percent in personal income and a 0.5 percent rise in the leading economic indicators. At midday the Dow was up 31 points, NASDAQ rose seven. Positive comments on AMR Corporation and Caterpillar helped keep things well in the black this afternoon. So the Dow closed with a gain of 55 3/4 points at 10,889.44. The NASDAQ Composite was up 14.83 at 2246.49. Standard & Poor`s 500 was up 5 1/3 points ending at 1268.12. In the bond market, the 10-year note climbed 16/32 to par and 17/32, putting the yield down to 4.44 percent.

New York exchange volume leader on 18 1/2 million shares, General Motors (GM) down $0.41 making a new 23-year closing low. That`s amid speculation the company may have to cut its generous $2 per share annual dividend.

Then came Albertson`s (ABS) down $0.82. You heard the story.

Then Pfizer (PFE) moving up $0.02.

Maxtor (MXG) up $0.11. As we reported yesterday, Seagate Technology is acquiring Maxtor for stock worth about $7.50.

General Electric (GE) was up $0.35. We`ll have some more news on that in just a moment.

Time Warner (TWX) a $0.12 gainer.

Arden Realty (ARI) down $1.81. General Electric will acquire Arden for $45.25 a share, well below yesterday`s closing price of Arden.

Micron Technology (MU) down $0.50. First quarter earnings dropped to only $0.09 versus $0.23 last year, the company citing lower DRAM chip prices.

ExxonMobil (XOM) down $0.50.

And then Verizon Communications (VZ) moved up $0.07, tenth in big board volume.

Caterpillar (CAT) did well, up $1.37. CS First Boston has picked the company as its top large cap machinery stock for the year 2006 and it responded very nicely.

AMR Corp (AMR), this is the parent of American Airlines, up $0.75. Prudential boosted its price target on AMR by $15, all the way up to $35 a share.

Humana Inc (HUM) had a great day, up $6.97. The company sees enrollment in its Medicare plans above the 1.7 million level by the first of 2006. That`s way up from only 503,000 at the end of this year`s third quarter, quite an improvement.

Sony Corp ADR (SNE) up $1.35. There was speculation that wealthy Saudi Prince (INAUDIBLE) is interested in buying a significant stake in Sony.

Another Japanese stock, but this one on the downside by $12.55, this is on concern that the Seagate Maxtor merger could cause a loss of business to TDK Corp ADR (TDK).

Heico Corp (HEI) up $1.21. The company overhauls jet engines, makes aerospace parts and it had fourth quarter earnings at $0.25, up from last year`s $0.20. Sales were up 25 percent. Raymond James financial brokerage upgraded it from "market perform" to "out perform."

And golds were strong today, led by Newmont Mining Corp (NEM) up $1.51. New York February gold as you saw earlier, up $8 at $505 an ounce.

Google (GOOG) topped the active list on NASDAQ up $5.71, big move there.

Then Microsoft (MSFT) down $0.14.

Research in Motion (RIMM) up $6.54. The company had third quarter earnings $0.61, way above $0.46 last year. Fourth quarter is predicted to be $0.76 to $0.81. Standard & Poor`s repeated a "buy" on Research in Motion.

Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY) down $4.97. Although it had slightly third quarter earnings $0.45, up from $0.40, but that was just barely in line and Morgan Keegan downgraded it from "market perform" to "under perform."

Then we see Apple Computer (AAPL) with a gain of $0.52.

Oracle (ORCL) $0.14 rise.

Intel (INTC) $0.09 gain.

$0.08 gain for Cisco Systems (CSCO)

Sandisk (SNDK) up $2.22.

And Cephalon (CEPH) up $4.76. The company is in a patent settlement with (INAUDIBLE). I believe that`s an Indian drug firm and it regards a sleep disorder drug called Provigil.

Those are the stocks in the news tonight.
