The Wall Street Journal's Daisy Maxey picked up the December 1 announcements (see press releases below) in Wednesday's Fund Track column. The other half of the column, penned by Kerry Grace, covered remarks made by Pimco's Bill Gross on stocks. In Gross' view, stocks are not cheap when seen in relation to where the market is heading, with more regulation and higher taxes.
