The outlook for stocks is bolstered by an economy that is marching along as well as by recent progress on trade agreements.

If history is any guide, the 2020 election year may not bode particularly well for stocks in the health-care or technology sectors.The health-care and technology segments of the S&P 500 typically suffer their worst performance of the four-year election cycle during the years Americans go.

karen_langley oh for chrissakes, tell the truth...the market is going to keep going up as long as federalreserve keeps pumpin cash in and saving the hedge funds....the minute they stop, party ends.....

karen_langley Keep a eye on IMF

85 percent of the stocks are owned by the 10 percent. How is that helping the 90 percent?

has anyone been keeping track of the a.c.a. requirement that operating overheads not exceed 20% ?

Outlook for stocks is bolstered by a TRILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR of deficit spending, TheFed's capitulation of fake-low interest rates & another round of QE-not-called-QE. SmallSavers don't belong in casino, but where else to put money with savings earning diddly-squat: MATTRESSES?

If it’s so great why are you borrowing like it’s the 2008 financial crises again. Costs are up due to tariffs. Inflation is up. The rich are getting richer and the rest of America will pay for it.

You mean the trade settlements. After a year and a half Trump’s ending the tariffs he created and American farmers will be worse off. I don’t call my mortgage company and make an “agreement” to pay a $1000 more a month. I make a settlement for that to avoid being kicked out.

I love all the positive-spin on the economy that is working very well for the richest and very wrong for the poorest. Tell the plebs their doing great because their boss's boss just made another seven figures while they scrap up cash for rent and hope they don't get sick.

yay rich people. there hasn't been a federal minimum wage increase since 2007. Trump uses half a million homeless Americans as political fodder. Income inequality is at a 50-year high.
