You’d think with stocks ripping to fresh highs, the mood out there would be euphoric. Confetti. Champagne. Victory laps. Instead, it feels like the opposite. Just yesterday, the S&P 500 closed at a new all-time high. So did the Dow…
At this point, I think most of us are familiar with the old 60/40 portfolio. The idea is to have a balance between stocks and bonds, so that when stocks go through a rough patch, the bond allocation makes up…
The best conference of the year did not disappoint. Everybody was here for Future Proof. And the fact that it’s a less formal festival makes it that much better. It was great. Josh Brown, Michael Batnick, Barry Ritholtz, and the…
