What do you think about the buzz around emerging technologies? Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been garnering many headlines in recent months. In general, my opionion is that the concern around disruption and having to "change or adapt", which most of us are loath to do, is overdone. Technology moves quicker than we can process.

Earnings are the Mother's milk of stocks. Little reported that S&P earnings are up, but very important to keep the earnings momentum going. Given pent up demand and strong consumer and business balance sheets, not to mention inventory rebuilding, the economy looks to be in pretty good shape. The trillion dollar question remains. Can the Fed thread the needle on raising rates and get control of inflation?? What do you think?

US Earnings Outlook the Envy of the World Thursday, March 31, 2022 Stocks have rallied back nicely over the past couple of weeks, with the S&P 500 up more than 10% off its March 14 low. While some would suggest that the market is sniffing out a potential compromise to end Russia's military aggression in Ukraine, which is certainly possible,...

Most have seen the Progressive Corp commercials that are "painfully relatable", particularly the "Becoming your parents" theme. Well, here it goes. I could have chosen a fun inflation story, a piece on the Super Bowl indicator and how the market has faired, or a review of possible Russian economic sanctions.
