This morning on Squawk Box, David Tepper of Appaloosa discussed it — and his comments reversed the futures from negative to positive.

Boring, Diversified, And (Still) Tough To Beat
Most investors suffer high fees and earn low returns. There are no sure-fire solutions, at least for the second problem, although playing defense by way of investing in a broadly diversified portfolio across the major asset classes with low-cost index products is a good start.

For years, the world’s largest banks have been up in arms over threats by regulators to increase their (equity) capital requirements.
