Armchair historians will recall the beginning of WWII in 1939, where Germany, Britain, and France had declared war against each other, but no shots were fired for eight months. It was called the Phony War. It ended when Germany invaded Belgium, and then France. We have a Phony War of our own in the markets

Things have changed. That is about the only conclusion one can reach after the three most violent weeks in stock market history. The historic average length of time for a 10% correction is 64 days, or more than two months. This time we did it in nine. However, we all learned important things from the

Q: How much more will interest rates rise and how will that affect equities? A: We've essentially discounted all the negative effects of rising interest rates for the rest of the year with this correction, so I don't believe we'll have much interest rate impact from here. I'm looking for 3.25% on the 10 year

It is time to revisit this once troubled continent. The reality is that the European economy is now growing substantially faster than the US, with a better stock market performance to match. Not only that, the Euro has been rising, thanks to America’s exploding budget deficits. Rising markets and rising currencies create an upward hockey

I was somewhat taken aback when I picked up my new Tesla Model S-1 a few weeks ago. Right now, with only 20 miles on the odometer, the car is stupid, said the salesman. But it has an artificial intelligence program that will start learning as soon as you drive it off the lot. He
When I first visited Calcutta in 1976, more than 800,000 people were sleeping on the sidewalks. I was hauled everywhere by a very lean, barefoot rickshaw driver, and drinking the water out of a tap was tantamount to committing suicide. Aggressive population control measures where underway, and strict quotas were in force. Everyone was taking
