Dinged-up JPMorgan CEO may seek exit: analysts
JPMorgan is on the ropes.
As many as 10,000 more job cuts are on the table this year on top of previously announced layoffs — the brutal result of shrinking business and regulators prowling for blood, The Post has learned.
The latest setbacks at the largest US bank, employing 250,000 worldwide, are so stark, they could force CEO Jamie Dimon to throw in the towel, analysts say.
“It’s just beginning to hit them over the head,” said Nancy Bush, a consultant and strategic adviser at NAB Research. She believes JPMorgan is also caught up in massive global deleveraging, which is shrinking the entire financial system — and it’ll reverberate through trading markets. “Consumers have reduced their debt,” Bush said. “The government leveraged up to fill in that hole and is now going to start deleveraging. There’ll be layoffs at JPMorgan.”
Wall Street is also in the sights of lawmakers. “JPMorgan in particular has borne the brunt,” Bush said, referring to the acute regulatory oversight of financial players, “and they have to decide what business is going to stay, what’s going to go.”

It has been said there’s one retail company to watch as a prelude to what comes next it’s always been Walmart. Known for low prices, low wages, and multi-billion dollar profits, the world’s largest retailer is struggling.
According to a recent report from Motley Fool, the behemoth’s same stores sales in the U.S. have dropped precipitously and internationally they have outright collapsed, signalling serious trouble ahead.
Wal-Mart has begun to lose its cache with consumers and major holes are starting to form in its business.
Interestingly, Wal-Mart has hidden its financial problems from the headlines because--

Are U.S. shipping companies still sending their clunkers to the toxic scrap yards of South Asia?
A ship-breaking yard
When the 30-year-old cargo ship MV Anders cruised out of Norfolk, Va., at 11 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 26, it may have been sailing through one of the largest loopholes in U.S. maritime regulations.
Three weeks earlier, the Anders was a U.S.-flagged vessel called the MV Pfc. James Anderson Jr., named for ayoung Marine who saved his platoon members' lives by falling on a Viet Cong grenade. It had hauled cargo for the U.S. Navy for more than two decades and was now retiring. The ship's new owners, Star Maritime Corp., had renamed it the Anders, painted over the excess letters on the hull, and raised the flag of its new registry—the Caribbean nation of St. Kitts and Nevis. The Anders left Virginia empty.

Its 29-year-old sister ship, the MVBonny (formerly the MV 1st Lt. Alex Bonnyman), followed two days later under the same flag and ownership. The Coast Guard listed the ships' next port of call as Santos, Brazil. But environmental groups, trade journals, and industry watchdogs claim the ultimate destination for these aging vessels will be the Dickensian scrap yards of Bangladesh.
The Anders and the Bonny served in the U.S. Navy's Military Sealift Command for 24 years. Stationed at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, they delivered military cargo during both Iraq wars, as well as Operation Restore Hope in Somalia. But the Navy never actually owned the ships. They chartered them from Wilmington Trust, which sold them to Star Maritime earlier this summer. When Star Maritime renamed the ships and submitted an application to reflag them under St. Kitts and Nevis registration, environmental groups recognized the telltale signs of vessels about to be scrapped and cried foul.
The Basel Action Network, a Seattle-based environmental group leading the campaign to stop the export of old ships for scrap, monitors old vessels in U.S. waters and alerts the EPA when their owners attempt to recycle them overseas. There are several reliable warning signs. First, a ship is sold to an obscure company (which U.S. ship-breakers call a "Last Voyage Inc."), which is sometimes a subsidiary of a larger company active in the scrapping business. Then it is renamed and registered under another nation's flag before sailing to South Asia. read morehttp://www.slate.com/articles/

More than a tenth of the vessels that transport the world’s manufactured goods in containers is idle. Via the NY Times From Loch Striven in Scotland to the Strait of Malacca in Southeast Asia, more than a tenth of the vessels that transport the world’s manufactured goods in containers is idle. For most, orders to sail will not come for some time.
Although world trade, which collapsed last year, is beginning to recover, driven especially by demand from developing countries, that recovery is being offset by added capacity in the large number of new container ships that will keep steaming out of the world’s shipyards.
Among those suffering most are lines like the German company Hapag-Lloyd and the Danish group A.P. Moller-Maersk, which ship boxed goods around the world. Much like the giant banks crippled by the subprime mortgage crisis, those companies are paying now for having expanded too aggressively during the boom, according to analysts.
Drewry Shipping Consultants in London estimates that the 20 or so major carriers, all Asian or European, lost $20 billion in 2009. According to Alphaliner, an industry information provider, seven smaller carriers went out of business last year, including Contenemar of Spain.
“We’ve never seen anything like this,” said Chris Bourne, executive director of the European Liner Affairs Association, or E.L.A.A. “It’s the worst situation since the start of containerization in the ’60s.” Continue reading herehttp://www.nytimes.com/2010/

Cargo Ships Treading Water Off Singapore, Waiting for Work
Charles Pertwee for The New York Times
Sunrise in the Strait between Indonesia and Singapore, where 735 cargo ships were gathered Tuesday because of a sharp decline in global exports.
Published: May 12, 2009
SINGAPORE — To go out in a small boat along Singapore’s coast now is to feel like a mouse tiptoeing through an endless herd of slumbering elephants.
One of the largest fleets of ships ever gathered idles here just outside one of the world’s busiest ports, marooned by the receding tide of global trade. There may be tentative signs of economic recovery in spots around the globe, but few here.
Hundreds of cargo ships — some up to 300,000 tons, with many weighing more than the entire 130-ship Spanish Armada — seem to perch on top of the water rather than in it, their red rudders and bulbous noses, submerged when the vessels are loaded, sticking a dozen feet out of the water.
So many ships have congregated here — 735, according to AIS Live ship tracking service of Lloyd’s Register-Fairplay in Redhill, Britain — that shipping lines are becoming concerned about near misses and collisions in one of the world’s most congested waterways, the straits that separate Malaysia and Singapore from Indonesia.
The root of the problem lies in an unusually steep slump in global trade, confirmed by trade statistics announced on Tuesday.
China said that its exports nose-dived 22.6 percent in April from a year earlier, while the Philippines said that its exports in March were down 30.9 percent from a year earlier. The United States announced on Tuesday that its exports had declined 2.4 percent in March.
“The March 2009 trade data reiterates the current challenges in our global economy,” said Ron Kirk, the United States trade representative.
More worrisome, despite some positive signs like a Wall Street rally and slower job losses in the United States, is that the current level of trade does not suggest a recovery soon, many in the shipping business say. CONTINUES AT SOURCE http://www.nytimes.com/2009/
Lets move on over to SUBIC BAY.
Empty cargo ships wait out the economy in Philippine ports
In places like Subic Bay, the horizon is filled with vessels awaiting goods to transport. It's a windfall for the ports but an unwelcome cost for the shipping firms.
March 25, 2009|Paul Watson
SUBIC BAY, PHILIPPINES — The slump in global trade has left a growing armada of empty cargo ships and tankers cruising the seas in search of the cheapest places to drop anchor while they ride out the economic storm.
About 1,000 of the world's shipping vessels are laid up for lack of freight, and the number could swell to several thousand in the next few years, Norwegian risk management foundation Det Norske Veritas reported this month. Popular Southeast Asian ports such as Singapore are turning ships away. source http://articles.latimes.com/
