Is a Year-End Stock Market Rally in the Cards?
For the past few weeks, an assortment of market columnists and I have been carefully dissecting if and when the market will have effectively priced in the many negative scenarios that prompted what is a now a two-month correction. The S&P has shed 11.6% and the Nasdaq has declined 14.6%. If it weren’t for the […]
Generating High Yields from Low Oil Prices
I like to invest alongside CEOs that have a hot hand and, of late, one of them is Carl Icahn, as he has turned one strategic investment after another into huge profits. And while he dukes it out with the likes of Bill Ackman in the famed Herbalife battle or his most recent attack on […]

Thirty-one years ago, almost to the day, the Dow endured its steepest sell-off in modern times, falling 22.61% on October 19, 1987. Market corrections are never easy to digest, and the current pullback for the stock market is another case of zero fun. The S&P 500 has declined for 11 of the past 12 sessions […]
Market Lives up to Its October Historical Profile
For much of the year, the stock market has zigged when it should have zagged. Investors try to use historical data to anticipate the near-term direction for equities. True to form, Mr. Market loves to upend a perfectly good pattern. By all accounts, the month of September is supposed to be the absolute worst time […]

Big Signs of Trouble Facing Italian Debt Market
