...stock market is up nearly 50%. Many bulls say there are hundreds of billions of dollars sitting on the sidelines that will come in, pushing the market higher. Do you agree? We've been through a secular bear market that really began in 2000. Adjusted for inflation, the S&P 500 is down 65% since then. We've been through the worst 10-year period of stock returns on the S&P in the history of American equities. But I think we saw the bottom of the secular bear market [at the March lows].

"With everybody fighting for the same piece of business, this could once again create overcapacity and fuel fare wars," says Ankur Bhatia, executive director of Bird Group, a New Delhi company that provides technology...
After I left Pyongyang, I began searching for a journalist willing to pose as a chocolate consultant. Eventually I found Antoine Dreyfus, a reporter for a French weekly. He would travel to North Korea under the pretext of doing a market study for the confectionary industry. I would return to Pyongyang with him, playing his assistant with a background in product marketing...
