CNBC's The Call Recap Nov. 28th

Trish Regan started the show by stating that financials are up today, leading stocks to trade higher. The DOW is down about 5.3% for November. Nasdaq down 7.4% for November. Stocks are on pace for first 2 day winning streak this month. Next, the economy was discussed with Steve Liesman. He says the FED needs to take into account the market, despite dips in the credit institutions; flexible policymaking is required when dealing with volatility within the financial sector. AIG, American Express and IBM are the leaders in the financial sector today. Crude Oil reaches a two week low with a drop of almost 3%; at under $92/barrel. Freddie Mac and CITI Group are among the leaders for finances. The U.S currency index is up almost a point. Next, shareholders vs. the sec; Dan Pedrotty says that the sec is not following through to protect investors. Among these proxy proposals is the stipulation that shareholders, owning 5% or more of the company, can elect new company directors. The objective is to provide opportunities for involvement among the shareholders. Merrill Lynch is expected to have a good day. Next was the real estate market. Steve Liesman of CNBC says mortgage and interest rates are very tight. The mortgage lenders are demanding high equity loans, and those consumers who are aggressive can find the money they need, in the upcoming months. Next, David Fondrie of Heartland Investors says that Cimarex Energy (XEC) and Conocophillips (COP) would be good choices for buying today. Allan Hubbard resigns from his position as economic advisor to the Bush Administration. Keith Hennessey will be replacing him. Hubbard says he is leaving so he can spend more time with his children.
