The Most Hated Man on Wall Street - And Why You Should Back Him

Interview with Senator Angus King, Co-author of 21st century Glass-Steagall

A little more than two weeks ago a "little" story hit the news. And by little, I mean perhaps the biggest money story that you and I will likely see in our lifetimes.

That's because, for the first time in decades, it sets up two opponents, Wall Street and Washington, on opposite sides of the ring.

So who is "the most hated man on Wall Street" right now. That would be Senator Angus King, along with his cohorts Senators Elizabeth Warren and John McCain.

Will Yahoo Stock (Nasdaq: YHOO) Keep Climbing?

Yahoo stock has soared nearly 90% in the past year, and CEO Marissa Mayer deserves much of the credit.

Yahoo! Inc. (Nasdaq: YHOO) was seriously ailing when Mayer came on board a year ago. Many analysts placed Yahoo stock on "death watch" and readied to send it to Internet stock graveyard.

Mayer has undeniably made progress as she finishes her first year at the helm.

"She's done a great job," Money Morning Capital Wave Strategist Shah Gilani told FOX's Stuart Varney on Tuesday. "She's done a terrific PR job for the stock."

The question for investors: With shares up more than 70% in Mayer's first year - and another 10.38% today to $29.67 - is there still time to profit from Mayer's success, or did they miss the boat on Yahoo stock?

Yahoo Stock: Still a Buy with Weak Earnings?

Despite Mayer's hard work, Gilani thinks the explosive Yahoo stock gains could be nearing an end.

Keith Fitz-Gerald Sheds Different Light on China’s Economic Growth Forecasts

We've heard reports of a slowdown in the Chinese juggernaut. Forecasts have shown that China's economy will grow by "only" 7.5% in the second quarter of 2013.

Europe is already in a recession, and America's own economic growth is wheezing along at less than 1% this quarter.

Is the media hype about China's economic growth slowdown overblown, or will it have real fallout for the United States and Europe?

Money MorningChief Investment Strategist Keith-Fitzgerald speaks with FOXBusiness' "Varney & Co."about what these figures really mean for the global economy. Watch the following video for the answer.

The Fed

Is the Stock Market Sell-Off Over? That Depends on Bernanke

U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's announcement last week that the Fed would like to start curbing its QE3 bond-buying program triggered a stock market sell-off that erased two months' worth of gains in two days.

The markets have stabilized in the days since, but the episode has left Wall Street jittery.

And for that you can blame Bernanke, Money Morning Chief Investment Strategist Keith Fitz-Gerald told host Stuart Varney on FOX Business today (Wednesday).

"The bet is all about Ben. This market is all about what he's going to do every day he wakes up and traders are trying to figure out if he's coming or going," he said.

So is the stock market sell-off over, or just taking a breather?

Take a look at the video to find out how Keith sees the situation, and to get his advice on how to deal with all the Bernanke-induced volatility.

Keith Fitz-Gerald: Anybody Listening to Bill Gross Is "Probably Headed to the Poorhouse"

Bill Gross' Pimco, which manages the world's largest bond fund, predicted earlier this week there's a more than 60% chance of a recession in three to five years.

"Given that the last global recession was four years ago, and also given that the global economy is significantly more indebted today than it was four years ago, we believe there is now a greater than 60 percent probability that we will experience another global recession in the next three to five years," Saumil H. Parikh, a managing director and generalist portfolio manager at Pimco, said in a note Tuesday.

But Money Morning Chief Investment Strategist Keith Fitz-Gerald took issue with the prediction from Gross' firm during an appearance on Fox Business' "Varney & Co."
