Keynote Speaker Series: Howard Silverblatt, Senior Index Analyst At S&P Dow Jones Indices (Part 2)

By WallStreetDaily.com

It’s time to pick up right where we left off last week with the “High Priest of Stats” – Howard Silverblatt, Senior Index Analyst at S&P Dow Jones Indices.

(If you missed the first half of our interview, be sure to check it out here.)

Rest assured, we’ve saved his most important insights for last, including:

• Four major uncertainties that investors aren’t taking into consideration yet.

• The one thing that’s never been done by a single stock in the S&P 500 Index since its launch in 1923. (One company is getting awfully close to pulling off the feat, though. So you’ll want to add it to your watch list.)

• Statistical proof why Steve Ballmer is laughing (all the way to the bank), despite a lackluster track record at the helm of Microsoft (MSFT).

• Apple’s (AAPL) latest $16-billion move that lifted the entire S&P 500 Index.

• And why stock buybacks aren’t always a bullish indicator. (Hint: We need to look beyond the headline number for another key stat to make the determination.)
