On Monday, Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) announced it was purchasing Canadian stock plan administrator Solium Capital for $900 million, and let’s be honest: Before this week, odds are you’d never heard of the target company before. Also that day, Restaurant Brands International (NYSE:QSR) reported quarterly earnings, and in that case, most people are far better acquainted with its chains: Burger King, Tim Horton’s and Popeyes.

In this Market Foolery podcast, senior analyst Abi Malin and host Chris Hill reflect on the upsides of the acquisition, the complexities of the fast-food business, and more as they offer investors some insights into what the day’s news might mean to them. They also answer a listener’s question on the subject of price-to-earnings ratios: How do you think about a divergence between the trailing P/E and the forward, and which is the better way to measure a stock’s value?

A full transcript follows the video.

Smart investing isn’t just knowing what stocks to buy. It’s also knowing what stocks to avoid…

That’s why we’ve put together a list of stocks on death watch in 2016. While companies on this list aren’t guaranteed to fail, they have a high likelihood of doing so.

We’ll come out with a new stock death watch list every month, so be sure to check back often.

Here are three stocks on death watch in October 2016…

Death Watch Stocks, October 2016

Stocks on Death Watch No. 1: Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc. (NYSE: VRX)

Valeant is a drug company that makes both branded and generic drugs. It also makes certain medical devices, like contact lenses and surgical equipment.

Even when you take into account the income that bond ETFs provide, the iShares fund’s total return is still -7%.

    Similar strength was seen from microcap Galmed Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:GLMD), which rose by more than 150% during a single trading session two weeks ago despite mixed results. The move followed the release of phase 2b data from its 52-week Arrest study for NASH drug hopeful Aramchol. In that trial, a statistically significant reduction in liver fat was noted with one of the two doses (the 400 mg dose). However, the 600 mg dose led to a statistically significant improvement in overall NASH resolution (19.2% vs. 7.5%) and NASH resolution without worsening of fibrosis (16.7% vs. 5%) relative to the placebo.

Galmed has been quite volatile as its 52-week range is listed at $3.61 to $27.06. It had a $322 million market cap as ofFriday.

    Shares of the clinical-stage biotech Galmed Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:GLMD) are on absolute fire this morning, thanks to a positive midstage trial readout for its experimental nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) drug Aramchol.

Curiously, though, patients receiving the higher dose of 600 mg apparently only showed a statistically significant drop in liver fat relative to placebo patients in a post-hoc analysis, according to the press release.

    Oil prices are at levels we haven’t seen in years. U.S. crude topped $70 for the first since 2014, as U.S. President Donald Trump appeared increasingly likely to pull out of the Iran nuclear deal and reinforce sanctions on Tehran. In addition, OPEC has announced plans to bolster prices and cap production. For oil investors, Money MorningGlobal Energy Strategist Dr. Kent Moors says it’s time to buckle up. According to Moors, revoking the Iran deal would cause “price chaos” around the globe. And that’s right as driving season starts in the United States. Here’s more on the coming chaos for oil. In deal news, Blackstone Group (NYSE: BX) announced it will purchase Gramercy Property Trust (NYSE: GPT) for $7.6 billion in cash. Grammercy manages commercial real estate. While this may seem like a boring deal, Blackstone is buying a business that churns out cold hard cash for its investors. We want to keep this deal on your radar, because there are many other deals like this coming down the pipeline.

Top 5 Low Price Stocks To Buy For 2019

Leave a reply

Following past boom/bust cycles, the oil business appears to have bottomed in February 2016 at $27 a barrel. The bruising multi-year bust in crude oil prices was the biggest reason for the world stock market sell-off from late 2015 to early 2016 of roughly 15% overall. The cruel irony of ultra-low prices is its disruptive effect on regular exploration activity. A short-term oil market depression in expectations disproportionately slashes oil drilling activity. Oil exploration budgets for 2017 are down 65% from 2014 and the smallest in 12 years, DESPITE a record estimate for global demand next year. In the long-run, oil & gas development and production may fail to keep pace with the steady growth in total demand. Will the 2015-16 “bust” sow the seeds of the next “boom” phase in pricing?
