CNBC's Street Signs Recap Nov. 27th

Erin Burnett started the show today asking if CITI Group's decision to sell almost 5% of their company to the Arabs was such a good one. Also that crude oil is down about 3%. Steve Leisman says that focus is being taken off the weak dollar and on to the weak economy. Future plans are in effect for the improvement of consumers concern with the state of the economy and risk of recession. Abu Dhabi has paid over $7 B (The biggest purchase of an American Company buy a foreign) to make part of CITI. Arabs are looking for financials, homebuilders and hotels. Anything from actual buildings to stock equity sharing on the financial sector side are up for grabs. Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York shows concern for a continuing opportunity for American investments. As a democrat, free trade is not a top priority for him, and he wants to avoid building walls in between Americans and business buy giving power to foreign investors. The Arabs say they have no interest in board or managerial roles, only to play as a passivist support group who believes in the potential of American companies. David Weber says MasterCard (MA) and Research in Motion (RIMM) are his picks for the day. Next, there was the real estate market. David Blitzer of Standard and Poor's says that prices are driving foreclosures, resulting in a 524,000 fewer jobs and $6.6 billion lost in taxes. Also that a mass amount of foreclosures are driving the prices of surrounding homes down. The worst hit is New York at a loss of over $10 B. You can keep updated by visiting; realtycheck.cnbc.com. Next, Russia will be electing a parliament on Sunday, Dec 2nd. Julian Mayo of U.S Global Investors Eastern Europe Fund says that increased certainty is acknowledged for the outcome, being in supporters of Vladmir Putin's favor. The Russian market is leading the world. Utilities and Telecomm are the top performers in Russia. An update for CITI Group says that the company has not closed off opportunities for foreign purchase and investment. Rick Santelli of CNBC says that apparently CITI is looking for more than $7.5 B. and a loss of ownership by more than 5%. David Faber of CNBC says that raising capital will be the main concern for financial institutions as a result of CITI's decisions. More write-downs to come for consumers, and more capital to be raised will likely come from Arab investors and foreign petroleum dollars. Jim Cramer with Stop Trading was next. American International Group (AIG), and JP Morgan (JPM) are among his choices for likely candidates for middle eastern investors. He says that more capital for the corporations should be a positive thing for consumers. Jim Goldman of CNBC says that Verizon (VZ) announced that they will promote unrestricted access. This makes Verizon a much stronger competitor in the future. With 64M wireless customers in the U.S, Verizon will cause even more problems for companies such as Sprint and Nextel.

CNBC's Fast Money Recap Nov. 2nd

On Friday the Fast Money crew speculated on the news about Citigroup (C). Macke thinks the banks are still a sell here unless you're the fastest of traders. Finerman went long Citigroup through options on Friday and she sees a bounce if CEO Chuck Prince leaves. Macke agrees that it does look like a near term reversal to the upside could be in store for Citigroup. Tim Seymour thinks the downside for the financials might be a bit over done and he bought Merrill Lynch (MER) on Friday.
Famous Legg Mason money manager, Bill Miller, likes financials and consumer names, proposing that the global plays might be over. He predicts that new leadership in the markets will come from US, large-cap, dollar-based stocks. Seymour disagrees and thinks that consumer names will do nothing over the next year. Macke thinks Miller's statement is reckless.
Cisco Systems (CSCO) is set to report earnings on Wednesday. Oppenheimer Chief Market technician Carter Worth joined the show to discuss Cisco Systems. In Worth's opinion, CSCO has relative strength and during market sell-offs investors haven't been selling the shares. Adami notes that fundamentally CSCO is doing well. Seymour contends CSCO is a bell-weather for technology and the company is finding ways to grow outside of the U.S. Macke thinks CSCO is just getting started and any pullback in the name is a chance to buy it. In the technology sector Macke wants a dip on Microsoft (MSFT) so he can get in. Adami favors Western Digital.
Retail Shopping
Most major retailers are set to report same-store sales for October on Wednesday Nov. 7th and Thursday Nov. 8th. Costco (COST) and Macy's (M) are Macke's favorite plays here. Finerman is positive on the retailers, but she is nervous about the consumer and she sold her Target (TGT).
Insurance: A shareholder group including Maurice Greenberg is requesting that American International Group (AIG) look at strategic alternatives. The stock is trading up 3% after hours on the news. Greenberg, who use to run AIG, is currently the largest shareholder and controls $3 billion in the stock. Charlie Gasparino's sources say that Greenberg wants to get rid of the current mangers and board of directors. Macke would be a buyer of AIG off this news.
OIL: Oil hits another record high to close at $95.93. Finerman favors Flowserve (FLS) for a global play. She also mentioned that FLS is her biggest position, although she did trim some on Friday. Adami tells investors Exxon Mobil (XOM) still has a rich valuation and if you want to play the oil space look at Chevron (CVX).
Seymour recommends investors look at emerging markets like Brazil, Russia and China. Brazilian banks Banco Itau Holding Financeira S.A. (ITU) and Banco Bradesco S.A. (BBD) are his plays. In Eastern Europe, he likes cellular plays Mobile TeleSystems (MBT) and Vimpel-Communications (VIP).
Pops & Drops
Pops - IAC Interactive Corp (IACI) traded up 9% after beating earnings.
USEC (USU) traded up 12% on a strong profits report.
Potash (POT) traded up 4% after Russian competitor Silvinit had a major flood causing tight world supplies to tighten further.
Baidu.com (BIDU) popped 16% after profits doubled. Macke declares BIDU is the Google of China.
Drops - Washington Mutual (WM) fell 17% after New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo sued WM alleging it colluded with a real estate appraisal firm to inflate the value of homes to help ensure that loans went through.
Yahoo! (YHOO) fell 8% for the week.
Target (TGT) fell 6% following the downward trend in the market.
Titanium Metals (TIE) fell 11% after missing profit forecasts.
Quicker than the Ticker
Back on October 8th, Seymour suggested buying CTC Media (CTCM) and Central European Media Entertainment (CETV). Seymour got it right and shares of CTC Media went up 7% and CETV surged 20% since his recommendation.
On October 17th Adami told investors to buy MasterCard (MA). The stock has advanced 17% since he recommended it.
October 29th Finerman advised shorting GPS play Garmin (GRMN). GRMN declined 20% since her call.
It was October 31st when Macke recommended investors to short Citigroup (C). Macke was right and two days later Citigroup fell 9%.
Misfires
Earlier this week on Tuesday, Adami recommended buying Las Vegas Sands (LVS). He missed the trade and LVS plunged 19% since his call. For now he favors Boyd Gaming (BYD).
Last Friday Finerman recommended shorting oil. Since her call oil has climbed 6% higher. Finerman would get out of the short oil trade because it didn't work.
A week ago Macke told investors to buy Procter and Gamble (PG). Procter has fallen 3% since he picked it, but Macke says the earnings report wasn't that bad and maintains its going to work in the long-term.
On October 4th Seymour favored investment bank Merrill Lynch (MER) on valuation. Seymour was way off and Merrill fell 19%.
Final Trade
After a rollercoaster week, the team gives their best picks. Although, not necessarily for stocks.
Macke picks the Indianapolis Colts over the New England Patriots. Finerman went with the New England Patriots.
Adami places his bet on Intel (INTC).
Seymour chooses Immersion (IMMR).
