Schafer (COMM, ANIP, NOMD), Meryl Witmer
(WYN), and Felix Zulauf (short U.S. dollar, long
Argentine peso); Tech Trader: The expanding
constellation of Internet of Things devices has

it may be time for AAPL, GOOGL, and other
players to cooperate on the creation of a set of
industry standards that work for everybody;
Trader: U.S. stocks’ inability to break through
previous highs isn’t worrisome short-term, says

forecast the Fed’s rate action, or lack thereof,
accurately, but they will get it wrong someday;

Though bears say the drug wholesale is in secu-
lar decline, it has strong cash flow, significant
bargaining power, new clients, and a strong
position in specialty-drug wholesaling; shares
could have 15% upside during the next year; 3)
+ LYB: A selloff creates a buying opportunity for
bargain hunters, who could see the chemical
maker’s shares rebound and return more than
20%; 4) Baruch Lev and Feng Gu say account-
ing hasn’t kept pace with the growth of compa-
nies with intangible assets like research, which
differ from tangible assets like property, and they
call for changes to GAAP; Follow-Up: Dell will
likely go public again, at which point it will be
clear how lucrative Michael Dell’s leveraged buy-
out of the company was; the company’s financial
performance since the deal supports the idea

to separate its properties into a REIT and spin
off its time-share business, momentum is now in
the company's’ favor; European Trader: Follow-
ing the European Central Bank’s move into
Europe’s corporate credit markets, pushing
returns even lower, there are still strategies
investors can use to gain, especially in high-yield
debt; Asian Trader: Five picks from Hong Kong-
based brokerage firm CLSA (+ Macquarie
Group, AIA Group, Samsung Electronics,
Seven & i Holdings, and Tencent Holdings);

likely former World Bank economist Pedro Pablo
Kuczynski, will inherit the emerging world’s
hottest 2016 stock market; Commodities: “La
Nina is likely to result in increased production of
cocoa—the key ingredient in chocolate, across
the globe—putting pressure on prices that have
