Dozens of Stock Picks From the Pros on the 2019 Barron’s Roundtable
Jack Bogle’s passing this past week occasioned a rightful outpouring of tributes to the founder of Vanguard Group and the inventor of the low-cost mutual fund. Bogle, who died on Wednesday at 89, launched a revolution in investing, based on the belief that most investment managers can’t beat the market over time. It might seem a touch ironic to feature 10 stockpickers on the heels of such praise, but Barron’s has always applauded diverse approaches to investing, including active management.

Earnings Comebacks Boost Equities
Furthermore a pause by the FOMC would still keep interest rates at current levels and the balance sheet on its downward trajectory, while a trade deal with China is still very unlikely to restore relations back to where they were, particularly in the key technology sector, where flashpoints over national security and intellectual property look likely to linger. At CFRA, we started with a look at the driver of the last downturn—households.

Stocks getting a bit frothy after move higher, could pause as more earnings roll out
Stocks have gotten a boost from optimism for U.S.-China trade talks, but earnings could take a bigger role in the week ahead, when reports roll in from a diverse group of companies in tech, railroads, pharma, airlines and consumer products. At the same time, being short is frustrating," said Scott Redler, partner with T3Live.com. "The next stop traders are looking at is 2,700 to 2,730 ... next week could be a good week for a pause while [the market] digests the move." Redler said next week's reports will be important, but the following week will be key with Apple AAPL and Amazon AMZN .

LJM Partners sues unnamed 'manipulators' it blames for volatility losses
LJM Partners Ltd on Friday filed a lawsuit against unnamed parties it holds responsible for hundreds of millions of dollars it lost after last year's jump in stock market volatility that effectively put the fund manager out of business. LJM invested in complex derivatives that lost most of their value over two days in early February 2018 following the biggest-ever single-day jump in the VIX volatility index (.VIX). LJM later returned what remained of clients' money.

Here’s what low NYSE trading volume is telling us about the stock market’s direction
Some of the bearish advisers I monitor are worried that it might be, on the grounds that volume is a leading indicator and New York Stock Exchange trading volume has been trending lower. As you can see from the chart below, the five-day moving average of NYSE volume currently is a third less than where it stood in mid-December. To be sure, measuring the impact of lower trading volume is anything but straightforward, since trading volume has grown steadily over the years.

Wall Street Week Ahead - U.S. chipmakers may give clues on China hazard
Intel Corp (INTC.O) operates mostly outside the Apple-sphere, and that is exactly why whatever it says next week about business in its vital Chinese market matters so much for investors. Apple (AAPL.O) rattled global markets this month when the iPhone maker cut its revenue outlook for the first time in 15 years, blaming factors like the U.S.-China trade dispute and a slowdown in the Chinese economy. Upcoming quarterly scorecards from Intel, Texas Instruments (TXN.O) and other chipmakers, as well as Ford Motor Co (F.N), will shed light on whether Apple made a convenient excuse for its own troubles or revealed a strengthening headwind faced by global companies that rely on China for a big chunk of their sales.

Stocks Climb Farther As Fears of Economic Slowdown Subside
U.S. stocks climbed Friday, notching their fourth consecutive week of gains, as the fears of an economic slowdown that gripped markets in December have subsided in the new year. Data showing a healthy labor market, as well as signals from central bankers that the Federal Reserve will be flexible with monetary policy, have offered relief to investors who were spooked late last year that the Fed’s pace of interest-rate increases could jolt an economy on shaky footing. “Investor sentiment has really improved from the turmoil just before Christmas,” said Brian Jacobsen, multisector strategist at Wells Fargo Asset Management.
