  • See Special Reports for the November On the Markets. November's lineup includes "Let's Get Real" Real yields, which are yields adjusted for inflation, are now very good for high-grade corporate bonds and high yield bonds. In addition, the real earnings yield for the S&P 500 is quite high, too. These attractive real yields give investors an opportunity to get well ahead of inflation argue Chief Investment Officer Jeff Applegate, Chief Investment Strategist David M. Darst and Global Investment Strategist Charles Reinhard in this month's cover story.
