Jeffrey Gundlach, manager of the top-performing DoubleLine Total Return Bond Fund, said the Federal Reserve won't reduce its monthly asset purchases, known as quantitative easing, until a new chairman takes over at the central bank at the end of January.
The Fed has indicated that a reduction of asset purchases will depend on economic data, and it's unlikely that those numbers will improve sufficiently by next month to warrant a reduction in the purchases by October, Gundlach said Thursday on a conference call with investors.
“It's hard to believe the data will have such a monumental change in the next couple of weeks,” said Gundlach, chief executive officer and chief investment officer of Los Angeles- based DoubleLine Capital LP.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Sean Williams]
Another factor that easily puts Waste Management on top in the waste-collection sector is its dividend yield of 3.4%. The only company with a higher yield is global waste solutions company Veolia Environnement (NYSE: VE ) , with a 6.2% yield. However, Veolia also boats a higher debt-to-equity ratio than Waste Management, has unwanted exposure to European markets, and has lower overall margins relative to Waste Management. By comparison, Republic Services, Progressive Waste, and Waste Connections pay out a yield of 2.7%, 2.4% and 1%, respectively. Even better, Waste Management's payout has grown by an average annualized rate of 7.7% since 2004.

The first is to focus on infrastructure companies that lay the groundwork for easier water access, such as France-based Veolia Environment (NYSE: VE).

In addition, there are some other good articles (U.S. Geothermal: When Opportunity Knocks.... (HTM)�and U.S. Geothermal is a "Buy"... For the Right Kind of Investor (HTM)) about U.S. Geothermal Inc that were just published on our site. So I won�� recover the same territory and there appears to be no news to explain yesterday�� jump.

It's fun to be right, particularly when it has to do with stock-picking. Sometimes though, being right can be a real pain in the @#$%. Case in point? U.S. Geothermal Inc. (NYSEMKT:HTM). It was only two days ago that yours truly deemed HTM was a good-looking "buy" for true long-termers. Then today happens... a 27% rally that should have wise investors - even those who stepped into U.S. Geothermal with a long-term mindset - at least thinking about locking in their profits and walking away with a quick score. After all, you can always buy HTM back later.
- [By Bryan Murphy]
By most accounts, it's an all-American dream come true. U.S. Geothermal Inc. (NYSEMKT:HTM), working hard - for years - to make something out of nothing can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. HTM has swung to a profit, and is strong enough now that it's probably going to remain in the black in perpetuity. Shareholders who got into U.S. Geothermal anytime during or after 2012 have finally been handsomely rewarded, with most of that reward materializing in just the past three weeks. Regardless of when an investor got into a position in HTM though, there's just one thing left to do at this point.... get out. Lock in your gain and walk away, at least for a little while.
- [By Bryan Murphy]
If traders are leery of wading into a U.S. Geothermal Inc. (NYSEMKT:HTM) position, that's understandable. HTM has been touted repeatedly for years, sometimes paying off for a while, but usually imploding before any rally has a chance to get going. That may be about to change, however. In fact, it may have already changed, of a would-be owner is willing to take a step back and look at U.S. Geothermal for what it is rather than what it isn't.

The Q4 2014 earnings report for Dubai headquartered specialty Basmati rice stock Amira Nature Foods Ltd (NYSE: ANFI), a potential performance peer of other specialty food stocks like The Chefs Warehouse, Inc (NASDAQ: CHEF) and Israel based G Willi-Food International Ltd (NASDAQ: WILC), is due out before the market opens on Tuesday.
