    By Madhuchhanda Chatterjee - October 8, 2012 | Tickers: NSANY.PK, TSLA, TM

    During the last few decades, environmental impact of the petroleum-based transportation infrastructure, along with peak oil, has led to renewed interest in an electric transportation infrastructure. At a time when rising fuel costs are putting a financial strain on drivers throughout the UK, the cost of running an electric vehicle (EV) is one of the main incentives for people looking to make the switch.

    With Election Day just over two months away, the presidential race is now running full-throttle. Perhaps you’re wondering if and how the 2012 presidential election could affect the stock market. Even though the U.S. president can't legislate bull markets or veto bears, that hasn't stopped historians from crunching stock returns to determine what impact politics has on stocks.

    By Madhuchhanda Chatterjee - October 2, 2012 | Tickers: BCEI, CRZO, NOG

    A couple of weeks ago, when crude oil prices were skyrocketing, many analysts came up with different explanations as to why crude oil would reach $140 and some said it would go to $180. With the recent steep drop in prices, however, that doesn’t seem possible to me anymore.

While some treated it as a worthy response to the growing threat of Brand Leader Nike, others viewed it as a dubious proposal whose merit only time could tell. But, with Reebok’s performance on the wane, it seems as if the skeptics proved correct.

  • Should Wal-Mart Fall Into the ‘Worrying’ Category for Investors?

    By Madhuchhanda Chatterjee - September 25, 2012 | Tickers: AMZN, TGT, WMT

    The second quarterly report released recently showed a somber tone for the Wal-Mart Stores (NYSE: WMT), especially in comparison to the more upbeat reports of other retailers. Low US Sale figures are worrying company officials and investors alike. Economic downturn and constrained expenditure may be to blame, officials say. But the reasons may lie far deeper.
