• Tesla owners are insanely happy with their cars (TSLA)

  26-12-2016 22:59 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  Consumer Reports has released its Annual Owner Satisfaction Survey, and the publication has extracted a brand ranking from the results.
  Tesla fared well, finishing No. 1. A whopping 91% of current owners said they "would buy again," according to Consumer Reports.
  "Our brand rankings represent owner sentiment across each brand's product line," CR's Mike Monticello wrote.
  He added that model satisfaction was "determined by the percentage of owners who responded 'definitely yes' to the question of

• Pre-Christmas gas shortages in Mexico hint at a bigger weakness in the county’s oil industry

  26-12-2016 22:12 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  Drivers in parts of Mexico have found themselves mired in long lines or turned away from gas stations in the days and weeks before Christmas, as fuel shortages hit cities and towns in the state of Michoacan.
  The shortages have been attributed to a number of factors, including pipeline theft, pricing and maintenance issues for state oil company Pemex, and speculation ahead of a shift to competitive-pricing model slated for January.These challenges and the resultant shortages come at a time when

• What it's like to be something other than white and male in the hedge fund business

  26-12-2016 20:33 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  The money-management industry has a diversity problem.
  Morningstar's global study out earlier this year showed that only one in five mutual-fund managers is a woman – a rate that hasn't budged since 2008.
  In the US, that number drops to one in 10. The US is a laggard, far behind countries such as Singapore (30%), Portugal (28%), and France (21%).
  For hedge funds, the numbers are similar: Only 15% of hedge fund CEOs are women. For minorities, the figures are just as lackluster, with only a

• JACK BOGLE: 'Main Street hasn't been taking its fair share'

  26-12-2016 20:02 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  "Main Street hasn't been taking its fair share."
  That's according to Jack Bogle, the founder of the $3.5 trillion fund behemoth Vanguard.
  He's referring to the cost of investing and the portion of investment returns that finds its way to brokers, distributors, and Wall Street at large.
  Bogle has been at the forefront of the effort to change that. He launched Vanguard in 1975 and created the world's first index fund soon after. An index fund tracks the movement of an index, often the S&P 500,

• Goldman Sachs is crushing the competition in a marquee business

  26-12-2016 19:51 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  We're closing in on the end of 2016, and that means it's rankings time.
  Yes, Wall Street banks care a lot about where they stack up against their rivals. They tout where they placed in each business line at the top of their earnings statement, and their ranking appears in just about every pitch book they hand out.
  And in the M&A business, there's one clear winner. It's not even close. Goldman Sachs dominated the competition, and is on course to finish 2016 at the top of the volume and fee ra

  Pimco has offered its outlook for 2017 in an environment of political and market uncertainty across the globe.
  In "Cyclical Outlook: Into the Unknown," Joachim Fels and Andrew Balls identified "three difficult transitions" the world will undergo — namely a shift from monetary to fiscal policy, a shift from globalization to deglobalization, and a currency regime transition in China — and offered their outlook.

• Vietnam could be 'sowing the seeds of the next crisis'

  26-12-2016 19:20 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  Vietnam is expected to show annualized growth of 6.3% in the fourth quarter when it releases the data sometime next week.
  That would be the first slowdown in annual growth since 2012 and below the 7% growth that was expected by Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung.
  The slowdown reflects the impact of the worst drought in nearly 100 years. And while growth is likely to pick back up, according to Capital Economics, Vietnam could be "sowing the seeds of the next crisis" with its loose monetary policy.

• The war between Wall Street traders just stepped up a notch

  26-12-2016 14:56 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  A war of words between Wall Street traders just stepped up a notch. 
  It's a battle that has been playing out for some time, typically between market participants behind closed doors. 
  Stock exchanges — in particular the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq — both publicly traded and for-profit, stand accused by rivals and some users of unfairly increasing the price of market data, connectivity, and colocation.  
  The exchanges, in contrast, argue that these feeds are
