The markets turned... again

Markets continue to be volatile. Our Peek of the Week talks about stocks heading north last week as investors hoped for the market to finally hit its bottom. Corporate earnings suggest we haven't reached the bottom yet and it's now corporate earnings season. This is the time we learn how companies performed during the previous quarter and it seems that earnings are continuing to grow, but at a slower pace than in the past. Our "PEEK" shares some important numbers for investors who need their savings and investments to deliver income.

It was a "bah humbug!" week for markets

After quite the "bah humbug" week in the markets, our new Peek of the Week shares the latest economic data to try and explain what's going on.

Mixed signals from the past has caused mixed messages for the present, and mixed feelings about the future...

Today's Peek of the Week explains how the historically high growth rates of 2021 (that reflected the economy reopening after the pandemic) have shifted to the place where we're at now. Currently, we have high inflation to focus on.

Tax breaks, rebates, and a pause in the stock market rally

Many investors who sold shares during the first half of the year are buying again. The current debate for investors and investment professional happens to be, "is the stock market in a bear market rally or a new bull market?" Today's Peek of the Week discusses whether or not it's possible to truly distinguish bull markets from bear markets. As the stock market rally paused, fuel was added to this debate.
