The! Biggest! News! of! the! Day! - Not Amgen (AMGN), Genentech (DNA), Citigroup (C) or Alt-A Loans

Here are some of the contenders for today's biggest...news...of...the...day...

• A sign of "further deterioration in the credit market" involving Alt-A loans...
• An outline of the major players in the subprime quagmire...
• Expectations as to what the looming earnings season may bring...
• Skepticism on Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) as it is said "cash appears to be a looming problem at AMD" and "Working with Dell is not turning out to be the nirvana that AMD had hoped for"...

• the sheep
• the birds
• the pigs

...and now the mice all joining forces. And let's not forget about that creep carnivorous cow. Though if the cows start eating other animals I guess that could mean they are on our side? Until the food supply runs thin...
