Americans Are Paying Apple Millions to Shelter Overseas Profits | Bloomberg.com"Over the years, Apple Inc. has become the poster child for U.S. multinationals accused of sheltering overseas profits to avoid the IRS. What’s gone largely unnoticed is that it’s been paid more than half a billion dollars by the U.S. government to do just that. Taking advantage of an exemption tucked into America’s Byzantine tax code, Apple stashed much of its foreign earnings—tax-free—right here in the U.S., in part by purchasing government bonds, according to people with direct knowledge of the matter. In return, the Treasury Department paid Apple at least $600 million and possibly much more over the past five years in the form of interest, a Bloomberg review of its regulatory filings shows ..."

Trump Rally Day 2: Asian Markets Rebound, Dow Jones Hits Record High

Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) Hits Record High:

Trump Rally Day 2--Dow hits record high Nov 10, 2016--The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) surged more than 200 points, blasting to new record highs, marking Day 2 of the "Trump Bounce" as Wall Street fears related to Donald Trump’s stunning election win gave way to hopes that the President-elect's policies could boost the economy. --read more at USAtoday.com.

Stan Druckenmiller"I'm optimistic about the future"--Billionaire investor Stanley Druckenmiller told CNBC.com on Thursday he's "quite, quite optimistic" about the U.S. economy following the election of Donald Trump. "I sold all my gold on the night of the election," the founder and former chairman of Duquesne Capital said in a "Squawk Box" interview. He said he's betting on growth by shorting bonds globally and he likes stocks that respond to growth. He also likes prospects for the U.S. dollar, especially against the euro stating "... hopeful as I've been in a long time ... I would not be surprised if we're not looking at the peak of the divisiveness."

Druckenmiller's new outlook is in stark contrast to what he said at the Sohn Investment Conference in New York, May, 2016. At that time he told attendees they should sell their stock holdings and that gold was his "largest currency allocation."

Interview With Professor Burt Malkiel, A Randown Walk Down Wall Street



Interview With Burt Malkiel: Masters in Business (Audio) by Bloomberg View

Interviewed by Barry Ritholtz, Burton Malkiel is Chairman’s Professor of Economics at Princeton University. Professor Malkiel served as a member of the Council of Economic Advisers (1975–1977), president of the American Finance Association (1978), and Dean of the Yale School of Management (1981–1988). He was a director for the Vanguard Group vanguard.com for 28 years. Currently, he is Chief Investment Officer to software-based financial advisor, Wealthfront wealthfront.com. He is best known for A Random Walk Down Wall Street, now in its 11th edition, with over 1.5 million copies sold.

Malkiel discusses a wide range of topics from how he urged the creation of index funds to why “a blindfolded monkey throwing darts at a newspaper’s financial pages could select a portfolio that would do just as well as one carefully selected by the experts.”

Particularly interesting for all types of investors, traders, marketers, sellers, and buyers, are Professor Malkiel's comments about pricing and prices, markets and valuations, including in the context of the dot-com bubble. Audio release date: 25 May 2016

Investing: A Random Talk With Malkiel - Bloomberg Gadfly: "... Are high-dividend stocks more risky than bonds? Traditionally, yes. If you look in terms of traditional risk measures, they are more risky, but in my view investors are going to be much better off. 
You famously wrote that a blindfolded chimpanzee could select a portfolio that would do as well as any expert. How do you reconcile that view with Buffett’s long-standing success as a stock picker?
Warren Buffett has in his will instructed his widow to invest in index funds, which means that’s what Warren Buffett would do.
How do you invest your money? 
I invest my own money largely in index funds."

A stronger dollar in the wake of the Fed’s move weighed on energy and raw-material shares, as crude tumbled below $35 a barrel... The [S&P 500] index slipped below its average prices during the past 50 and 200 days." - source: U.S. Stocks Erase Post-Fed Rally, Commodity Shares Lead Retreat - Bloomberg Business
