Advertising for private funds and unregistered securities got off to a quiet start Monday, but market participants already are enjoying the latitude they now have to pitch their funds.
A new Securities and Exchange Commission rule lifts a ban on advertising private-placement investments to the general public. As in the past, shares of these investments can be sold only to investors who meet certain income and asset thresholds, but now they can be pitched in the press, the Internet — even on TV.
The new marketing environment allows Broadstone Real Estate LLC to be more aggressive in finding new investors for the two private real estate investment trusts it sponsors. It’s not limited only to the people who approach it directly.

What is it with food stocks this week? Tyson Foods (TSN) releases earnings on Monday and gains 7.5% through today. Campbell Soup (CPB) releases on Tuesday and falls 6.2%. And now JM Smucker (SJM) releases its own results and has experienced a big move of its own–a plunge.
Bloomberg NewsThe Wall Street Journal has the details on JM Smucker’s earnings:
For the period ended Oct. 31, Smucker reported a profit of $153.4 million, or $1.46 a share, up from $148.8 million, or $1.36 a share, a year earlier. Excluding restructuring, integration and other costs, per-share earnings improved to $1.52 from $1.45.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters most recently forecast earnings of $1.60 a share on revenue of $1.61 billion.
Gross margin widened to 35.4% from 33.3%…
Known for its namesake fruit spreads and peanut butter, as well as Jif brand peanut butter, Smucker also lowered its sales guidance for the year, now predicting a decline of about 2% from last year, versus its earlier forecast for a 1% drop. The company backed its earnings guidance.
Janney’s Jonathan Feeney and Mark Williams look at the bright side:
We recognize that the coffee category, where Smucker is getting more than all of its growth, is currently under a three-fold siege: 1) the decline in coffee costs and associated promotional activity, 2) the impact of the growth of K-Cups on bag and can retail coffee, and 3) the entrance of several players to the K-Cup universe ��which have now apparently eliminated a big growth (+250 million or +2% annualized) tailwind for Smucker since FY 2011. That said, we see the significant likely ($6+) and growing cash flow at SJM ��in a world paying enormous multiples for yield of all kinds ��as too much to pass up. Specifically, SJM trades at a roughly 10% discount on cash EPS to peers due to these uncertainties, in a group that has plenty of uncertainties of its own. While organic top-line growt

Last week, meat company Tyson (TSN) increased its all-cash bid for Hillshire (HSH) to $8.55 billion, or $63 a share. That represents about a 70% premium on the pre-bid trading price for Hillshire stock. Tyson was involved in a bidding war with Pilgrim's Pride (PPC), which helped escalate the price.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Tim Beyers]
At one time, Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV ) and its upstart peers wouldn't fly long-haul routes because it was either too difficult or unprofitable to do so. But now Boeing (NYSE: BA ) is building the extended range 737 MAX while Airbus has the A320neo. Think of them as smaller-scale versions of the 787, says Motley Fool contributor Tim Beyers in the following video.

We believe both�United Continental and JetBlue have fleet inefficiencies that contribute to poor margins for both airlines. If�United Continental acquired JetBlue�� 60 E-190s (and the 24 on order), in a transaction like the one Delta Air Lines (DAL) and�Southwest Airlines (LUV) announced in 2012 when Southwest Airlines agreed to sublease its 88 B717s to Delta Air Lines, we believe both companies would benefit.

10 Best US Stocks For 2015: Ishares Msci Korea (EWY)
iShares MSCI South Korea Index Fund (the Fund) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance of publicly traded securities in the aggregate in the South Korean market. The Fund's performance is measured by the MSCI Korea Index (the Index).
The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities in the Index, which has a similar investment profile as the Index. iShares MSCI South Korea Index Fund's investment advisor is Barclays Global Fund Advisors.
Advisors' Opinion:- [By Benjamin Shepherd]
The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index (NYSE: EEM) seems to have halted its slide.� The index bottomed out year-to-date on February 3, when it was down 11.2 percent. Since then, it has gained 1.5 percent, but bargains in the emerging markets still abound.
As I discussed in �� Plan, Not a Panic��two weeks ago, emerging markets are in much better economic shape today than they were even just a few years ago, much less during the currency crisis that peaked in 1998. Foreign exchange reserves are generally much more robust, budget deficits are narrower if they exist at all and, so far at least, the full-blown currency war that many were predicting last year isn�� likely to breakout.
With rationality finally setting in, this is a terrific time to do a little bargain hunting in the emerging markets.
The most obvious play here is the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index itself. Covering China (18.8 percent of assets), South Korea (16 percent), Taiwan (12 percent) and Brazil (10.2 percent) with smaller positions spanning Asia and Europe, the fund is most exposed to any shift in sentiment.
The fund is currently trading at just 10.2 times forward one-year earnings, well below its average of about 18 times over the past two decades. On a price-to-sales basis it is even more attractive valued at just 1.03 times; the last time the index was this cheap on a sales basis was early 2009.
So while there are always dangers in trying to call a bottom to any market move, valuations alone are attractive enough to start pulling bargain hunters back in.
A broadly diversified play on an emerging market turnaround, iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index is a great buy up to 45, which leaves plenty of room to run back to the average.
For those who can tolerate a bit more risk, you can also drill down and make more country-specific bets.
At this point my favorite would be iShares MSCI South Korea Index Fund (NYSE: EWY).
