  • Profit at electronics retailer Best Buy Co. (BBY) fell 77% during the company’s fiscal third quarter ended Nov. 29. The company said it would offer buyout packages to nearly all corporate employees to save on costs as it trudges through a dismal holiday shopping season, the Associated Press reported.












  • Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS) reported a $2.12 billion, or $4.97 a share, loss for its fiscal fourth quarter, Bloomberg reported. “Our results for the fourth quarter reflect extraordinarily difficult operating conditions, including a sharp decline in values across virtually every asset class,” Chief Executive Lloyd Blankfein said in the statement.












  • New building permits and new housing starts hit a record low in November. Permits plummeted 15.6% to 616,000 units from 730,000 in October. Housing starts fell 18.9% to 625,000 from 771,000 in October, Reuters reported.












  • Retail sales in Brazil rose 10.1% in October, exceeding economists’ forecasts and showing promise that consumers in the Latin American titan are holding up in the global economic slowdown. Sales may slow in November and December, however. “Sectors that are dependent on credit, such as vehicles, will suffer more in the following months,” Luiz Goes, partner of Gouvea de Souza consultancy firm, said in a Bloomberg Television interview.












  • Berkshire Hathaway Inc.’s (BRK.A, BRK.B) HomeServices of America yesterday (Tuesday) purchased a Raleigh, N.C.-based York Simpson Underwood, a residential real estate brokerage with 250 agents.

  • Light, sweet crude for January delivery fell 91 cents to settle at $43.60 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange yesterday (Tuesday), despite indications that the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries is gearing up to cut production.
