What is Ahead for Financial Markets? Perspectives from Jeremy ...

After a terrible August, when the U.S. stock market appeared to be headed for the pits, October 1 saw a massive rally that sent th e Dow Jones Industrial Average soaring above 14,000. The following day, however, stocks began to fall again, mainly due to a sharp drop in home sales. In short, Wall Street still seems to be sending out mixed signals. What will be the long-term effects of the Fed's decision to cut interest rates? Will the U.S. economy move past the sub-prime mortgage mess? How will these developments affect the European market? Knowledge@Wharton spoke with Wharton finance professor Jeremy Siegel and Jacob Wallenberg, chairman of the board of Investor AB and vice chairman of Sweden-based SEB.

The sub-prime mortgage crisis and the credit crunch that has followed in its aftermath are taking their toll on the housing market . On August 28, the S&P Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price Index fell 3.2% in the second quarter. According to the National Association of Realtors, the inventory of unsold homes is at a record high. As sales have fallen, many home builders have seen their stock prices drop by more than 60% during the past year. How serious is this situation? Is there light at the end of the tunnel? Joseph Gyourko, director of Wharton's Samuel Zell and Robert Lurie Real Estate Center, and Todd Sinai, a professor of real estate, spoke to Knowledge@Wharton about these questions and more.

For those entrepreneurs who want to run a company but prefer to skip the start-up stage, search funds offer a possible alternative . A specialized form of private equity first launched in the mid-1980s, search funds are becoming increasingly popular -- and their supporters claim they can offer investors attractive returns and business owners a compelling exit strategy. What does this trend in private equity mean for investors, and for small businesses that might be acquisition targets for these funds? Robert Befidi, Jr., and Mark Sinatra, managing directors of Gordian Capital in New York City, spoke to Knowledge@Wharton about the pros and cons of search funds.

On August 1, Mattel recalled approximately 1.5 million toys made by a manufacturer in China because of dangerous levels of lead in their paint. Four days earlier, the Chinese government ordered the country's banks to increase their reserves as part of an effort to cool down its red-hot economy. But quality concerns and rapid growth aren't China's only worries. There is also the government's need to keep forging ahead on preparations for the Olympics next August in Beijing, despite criticism about overdevelopment and unsafe levels of pollution. Knowledge@Wharton asked management professor Marshall Meyer for his perspective on these issues.

Wharton finance professor Jeremy Siegel discussed these issues and more -- including economic growth in China and the impact of the strong Indian rupee -- with Knowledge@Wharton.

Jeremy Siegel: Rising Bond Yields Mean Trouble for All Financi...

10:48 min | hace 4 años
U.S. financial markets were battered at the end of last week because of a dramatic sell-off of Treasury bonds. The yield on 10-yea r bonds, which has been rising since May, neared the critical barrier of 5.25% on June 8 -- the highest level in five years. Media reports suggest that turmoil in the bond market could continue this week, making investors anxious about whether interest rates might go up and bring to an end the period of cheap money that has buoyed up asset markets and also funded a world-wide boom in mergers. Why are bond yields so high? What do these developments mean for stocks and other asset classes? Knowledge@Wharton discussed these questions with Jeremy Siegel, a professor of finance at Wharton, and author of The Future for Investors.

Earlier this month, Cerberus Capital Management bought 80.1% of Chrysler Group from German auto maker Daimler-Chrysler, effectivel y ending a nine-year marriage between the two that never quite worked out. The expectations created by this acquisition are huge, and revolve in part around Cerberus's ability to make a deal with the United Auto Workers union that would include restructuring billions of dollars of retirement and health-care benefits -- a burden that both Ford and GM -- but not Toyota -- also carry. We asked Wharton management professor John Paul MacDuffie, co-director of the International Motor Vehicle Program, to give his views about Chrysler, Cerberus, high gas prices and other auto-related issues.
