The market's win streak is no fluke: A Wall Street bull sees record gains ahead

Finance

The market's win streak may be just beginning. Edward Yardeni, who spent decades on Wall Street running investment strategy for firms such as Prudential and Deutsche Bank, predicts stocks will break out to all-time highs this year. He's partly building his bull case based on a chart pointing to negative market sentiment. "At the end of last year the bull-bear ratio, which is something we watch from Investors Intelligence, fell below one," the Yardeni Research president told CNBC's "Trading Nation" on Friday. "It's got an awfully good track record as a...

Realmuto, Straily help Marlins end losing streak vs. Braves

Sports

May 11 (UPI) -- Miami Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto was a triple short of the cycle in a 6-3 win against the Atlanta Braves Friday at Marlins Park in Miami, Fla. Realmuto's 3-for-5 effort included a single, double and home run. He had two RBIs and scored twice out of the leadoff spot. He also backed up a strong starting outing by Marlins righty Dan Straily, who earned his first victory of the season. "Every time I gave up a run, we scored sometimes the next pitch," Straily said. It was really nice to go up there and have that kind of run support. Just knowing that I have to keep us right there. Just keep going. The goal is a zero every single inning.

Victor Oladipo helps Indiana Pacers snap Cleveland Cavaliers' win streak at 13 games

Sports

INDIANAPOLIS -- Victor Oladipo couldn't point to any major reason for his second-half explosion. "I was just going out there being aggressive and trying to make plays," Oladipo said after scoring 25 of his 33 points in the final two quarters to help Indiana Pacers top the Cleveland Cavaliers 106-102, snapping their league-leading 13-game winning streak on Friday night. Oladipo scored 20 in the third quarter as the Pacers turned a six-point halftime deficit into a three-point lead (89-86) after three quarters. The Pacers (15-11) have now won both meetings with Cleveland (18-8), but Oladipo wasn't ready to call it a statement win. "We haven't done anything," Oladipo said. It was just another game that we had to go out there and compete and win. We did a great job playing as a team, working h...
