Investopedia: Can BAM Add Some Punch To Your Portfolio?
Large asset management companies can be tricky companies to monitor and
evaluate. Oftentimes, success is predicated more on identifying top
managers like Henry Kravis and George Roberts at Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (NYSE:KKR) or Warren Buffett at Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A, BRK.B)
and letting them do their thing - trusting that superior management and
investment identification will produce and accumulate value over time.

FinancialEdge: 6 IPOs To Expect In 2012
Although 2011 was a tough year for the markets, and one in which the major indexes made little progress, investors were still willing to tip into the initial public offering (IPO) pool. Well-known companies like LinkedIn (NYSE:LNKD), Pandora (NYSE:P) and Groupon (Nasdaq:GRPN) made their debuts as publicly-traded companies, while HCA Holdings (NYSE:HCA) returned to the market. (For more, read How An IPO Is Valued.)
As we now turn to the end of year and look ahead, there are a number of companies intending to go public at some point in the next year. While a bad start to the new year in the markets could lead some (and potentially all) of these names to postpone their offerings, these IPOs are most likely "when, not if" events. Before leaping into the IPO pool, though, investors should remember that playing IPOs can be tricky; not only is it difficult to get access to the low-priced IPO shares, but many of these stocks fall from their initial first-day closing prices.

Bye Bye NBTY
Even the wildest rollercoaster rides come to an end, and nutritional supplement maker NBTY's (NYSE:NTY) ride is at an end. Before the open Thursday, NTY announced that the company had accepted a $3.5 billion all-cash buyout offer from private equity giant Carlyle Group.
If you have never paid much attention to NBTY before, pull up a long term chart and count the number of 50% retracements over the past 20 years - I think I counted seven. I have followed this stock for at least 15 of those years, and owned it once along the way. Throughout that run, I was always surprised that the company could never carve out a steady and stable growth trajectory.
