Our Take on the European Crisis

At Morningstar, we believe strongly that it is counterproductive to react without collecting all the facts and considering your long-term investment plan. We've gathered a range of views from internal and external experts to help our subscribers make sense of recent market shocks, from the "Flash Crash" to the European crisis. From Morningstar's own Christine Benz, Scott Burns, and Pat Dorsey to outside experts such as PIMCO CEO Mohamed El-Erian, Oakmark's David Herro, Artio's Rudolph-Riad Younes, and DoubleLine's Jeffrey Gundlach, we've made a range of ideas and opinions available to our Premium subscribers during this recent volatile stretch.
