Mobius says there’s a 30% correction coming for U.S. stocks
Mark Mobius, the 81-year-old investment guru, believes the U.S. stock market is set for a 30% correction that would essentially wipe out the gains of the last two years. The renowned fund manager, who left Franklin Templeton, the American investment house, after more than 30 years in January, said “all the indicators” point to a large fall in the S&P 500 SPX, -0.85% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.82% . “I can see a 30% drop,” said Mobius, who launched one of the world’s first emerging market funds. “When consumer confidence is at an all time high, as it is in the U.S., that is not a good sign. “The market looks to me to be waiting for a trigger that will cause it to tumble.

Female pilots are a rarity at commercial airlines in the U.S.
Female pilots are rare, especially in the U.S. When a Southwest Airlines LUV, -0.05% plane’s engine exploded mid-flight this week, pilot Tammie Jo Shults, 56, made an emergency landing. She is a former Navy pilot and one of the first women to fly an F/A-18 fighter jet. Shults is an anomaly among airline pilots — and not just because she was able to stay calm in such extreme circumstances As a female pilot, Shults is part of a small group. Just 6.3% of commercial pilots and 6% of non-commercial pilots in the United States are women, according to the Institute for Women of Aviation Worldwide, a nonprofit based in Vancouver. That’s 6,081 commercial female pilots and 10,247 non-commercial female

Ford Motor Company said on Saturday it will take bids on some of its advertising managed by WPP , adding to uncertainty around the British ad giant after last week's exit of founder Martin Sorrell.

Saturday's announcement is part of a review of Ford's strategy that has lasted since November, when it told long-time partner WPP that it was considering its future ad model.

How the new tax law creates a ‘perfect storm’ for Roth IRA conversions
For years I’ve lectured about the wonderfulness of Roth IRAs. While the new Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) includes one negative change for Roth IRAs, they are still pretty wonderful. Here’s what you need to know about Roth IRAs and especially Roth IRA conversions in the post-TCJA world. Roth IRAs have two big tax advantages The two most-important Roth IRA tax advantages are: Tax-Free withdrawals Unlike traditional IRA withdrawals, qualified Roth IRA withdrawals are federal-income-tax-free and usually state-income-tax-free too.

Cramer Remix: The most eagerly anticipated report of the year
The market may have faced a brutal decline on Friday led by the stock of Apple, but CNBC's Jim Cramer knows investors could handle a dip in the stock of the world's largest company. "And we can handle the yield on the 10-year Treasury surging ever closer towards 3 percent. But we can't handle both in the same day," the "Mad Money" host said. "Hence today's shellacking." Cramer blamed the algorithmic processes that direct machines to sell stocks and buy bonds when Treasury yields approach 3 percent, noting the influx of good earnings reports that happened ahead of the weekend. With that negativity in mind, Cramer turned to the stocks and events he'll watch in earnings season's fullest week yet,

Earlier this year, Tesla Inc. (TSLA) shareholders approved a new 10-year compensation plan for CEO Elon Musk that would pay him handsomely. Several billion dollars worth of handsome. However, in order for the maximum compensation to be paid out, Tesla and Musk have to hit a number of lofty milestones. One requirement? That Musk is still there. However, he doesn't need to be serving as CEO in order to still make his money. That's brought on speculation about how much longer Musk may serve as CEO of Tesla. In 2014, Musk said he would continue to serve as CEO for the next four to five years and after that "it's TBD." That would put him in 2018 or 2019. Before that, he wanted to at least introduce

Billionaire Bezos and the Warehouse Workers
We have just learned that the median salary of employees at Amazon.com Inc. is $28,446, excluding its chief executive officer and founder, Jeff Bezos. That pitiful number raises an intriguing question: Is Amazon is a high-paying tech company or a low-wage retailer? “Both” is the obvious answer, but to this Amazon aficionado 1 that answer is incomplete. The pay figure, which was disclosed for the first time in Amazon’s annual proxy statement, reflects the large number of low-paid retail and warehouse employees who work for the company. The proxy also disclosed that Bezos was paid $1.68 million, making the ratio of what Bezos was paid and the median pay 59-to-1. What does that ratio tell us? Really,
