Morgan Stanley Earnings Preview (June 2007)

Morgan Stanley (MS-NYSE) is expected to post earnings per share of $1.98 on revenues of $9.85 Billion.  If you compare Morgan Stanley shares to last Monday’s close before we had any of the competing earnings out of other Wall Street firms, shares were at $88.54.  That is less than 1% higher than today’s $87.80 close and almost exactly in-line with the $88.50 close yesterday.

Since Monday of last week we have seen the following brokers perform as follows:

Lehman Bros. (LEH-NYSE) $81.30 close today; $75.68 last Monday before its earnings

Bear Stearns (BSC-NYSE) $146.79 close today; $148.39 last Monday and $149.49 before its earnings.

Are You Still Paying With a Debit Card?

The average American spends $17,274 on debit cards a year, and it’s a HUGE mistake. First, debit cards don’t have the same fraud protections as credit cards. Once your money is gone, it’s gone. But more importantly you can actually get something back from this spending every time you swipe.

Issuers are handing out wild bonuses right now. With some you can earn up to 5% back on every purchase. That’s like getting a 5% discount on everything you buy!

Our top pick is kind of hard to imagine. Not only does it pay up to 5% back, it also includes a $200 cash back reward in the first six months, a 0% intro APR, and…. $0 annual fee. It’s quite literally free money for any one that uses a card regularly. Click here to learn more!
