Opinion: Here’s how much Trump tax reform is already built into stocks

Move in the S&P 500 provides an answer By Steve Goldstein, MarketWatch As President Donald Trump releases the “principles” of his tax reform, it’s worth delving into how much is already baked into the stock market. It’s not an easy exercise. People don’t fill out exit polls about why they’ve bought or sold a stock. With a little math, though,...

FANG Stocks Live Up to the Hype

Do you like the idea of 'indexing,' which is simply an investment in the broad market based on faith that it will fare well, given enough time? To that end, indexing in, say a fund like the S&P 500 SPDR Trust (which just tracks the performance of the S&P 500 index), is also a passive acknowledgement that it's difficult to...

U.S. Dollar Just Lost a Whole Heap O’ Ground

It's not the ideal breakdown as far as technical breakdowns go, but the U.S. Dollar Index's demise today should be of concern to anyone who wants to see the greenback remain strong. In the wake of France's election results pointing towards the maintenance of the status quo — and likely keeping the country in the EU — the U.S. Dollar...

Strong Existing Home Sales Point to Rekindled Employment Market, Economy

If anyone thought the real estate market was slowing down as a precursor to a contraction, they were wrong… at least based on March's evidence. The National Association of Realtors reported last month's existing home sales pace on Friday morning, saying home-buyers purchased already-built houses at an annualized pace of 5.71 million. That was a ten-year high. The surge came...
