Today Brian Sozzi, Yahoo Finance It may be the right time to take profits in this ultra-hot stock market, experts tell Yahoo Finance. |
William Watts, MarketWatch Tech and other high-flying stock market sectors got hammered Thursday, but the move was so overdue it?s hard to declare it the start of a prolonged... |
Market Minder, Fisher Investments Reacting to Thursday's volatility and value leadership seems quite hasty to us. |
Kitty Richards & Joseph Stiglitz, NYT It's not only the right thing to do, it's good economics. |
Nick Stehle, Examiner Our economy is roaring back to life. Over 1.7 million business applications have been filed, and some 1 million seek to open a business that will hire workers. |
Christos Makridis, The Hill While we need to vigorously continue the search for a vaccine and pursue policies that allow for a permanent reopening of the economy, we also need to obtain safety and security in our cities once again. |
Antony Davies & James Harrigan, American Institute for Economic Research It has been five months since the American people were told they would be under house arrest for three weeks to “flatten the curve.” Under the guise of protecting us from Covid-19, America’s politicians completed one of the greatest nonviolent power grabs in US history, pushing the lockdowns well beyond the initial three-week prediction, thereby taking control of 330 million lives. |
Sheila Weinberg, RCM In early August, President Trump signed an executive order that would give millions of workers a small pay increase through the end of the year. The increase would be approximately $62 for the average worker earning a little more than $1,000 a week. Each worker could end up getting more than one week’s worth of pay by New Year’s Eve. The paycheck increase is made possible by temporarily deferring an employee’s Social Security taxes. If Congress doesn’t permanently defer these payroll taxes, however, then each worker would have to pay the money back. The deferral began... |
Maurie Backman, Motley Fool These are trying times we're living through, and many people want nothing more than to see 2020 come to an end. If you have a 401(k) plan, the moves you make in the next few months could have a profound impact on your retirement. Here are three critical strategies to adopt as we navigate the tail end of this volatile year. |

Jeffrey Snider, RealClearMarkets As it turns out, there actually was a Murphy. His now ubiquitous American idiom, Murphy’s Law, is well-known to everyone: whatever can go wrong, will go wrong. The reason it has proliferated and penetrated to every corner of our modern society is the embedded truth sprinkled with just a kiss of post-modern ironic fatalism. As a result, it doesn’t quite mean what the original version did. I think you, as I, will prefer the first one. |
Jeffrey Kleintop, Charles Schwab The recent imbalances in the stock market can lead to vulnerability; rebalancing portfolios may be valuable to help balance exposure to U.S. capitalization-weighted benchmarks relative to international stocks. |

Various, CDC This report describes mental health challenges faced by communities during the COVID-19 pandemic. |
Michael Hendrix, Manhattan Institute The Manhattan Institute partnered with Echelon Insights to conduct a July 2020 survey of New York City adult residents in order to better understand their feelings about issues facing the city, views on city government, and attitudes toward potential policy solutions. The results show a city... |

Carrie Schwab-Pomerantz, Charles Schwab Women have come a long way in terms of equality, but are we investing enough for financial security? Not according to Carrie Schwab-Pomerantz. |

Jessica Aguirre, VF It may seem counterintuitive that a pandemic-fueled recession could lead to a bullish housing market. But a combination of trends has resulted in a buying frenzy. |
Mary Harrington, UnHerd Does the Government fear an economic rebalancing away from the capital? |
Jim Tankersley, The New York Times Federal debt, as a share of the economy, hit 98 percent in the 2020 fiscal year. Many economists are pushing lawmakers to add even more to it. |
Michael Spence, Project Syndicate While it is true that bullish equity markets are out of step with the historic contraction in the real economy, to say that they are disconnected from it misses the point. In fact, the lofty valuations of companies with high intangible capital per employee make perfect sense in today's economy. |
Ben Hunt, Epsilon Theory There’s an old saying in poker: don’t just play the cards, play the players. |
Jeff Tracy, Axios Sports trading cards are enjoying something of a renaissance, fetching greater value than ever before and engendering excitement on a level not seen since their last golden age in the 1990s. |
Julia Horowitz, CNN The coronavirus pandemic is upending the energy industry and pushing its top players to make big changes. That includes Saudi Aramco, the world's largest and most profitable oil producer. |
Ben Carlson, A Wealth Of Common Sense The McDonald brothers sold out to Ray Kroc for a small fortune. And that was enough for them. |
Max Ghenis, The Hill By building on the success and infrastructure of the Recovery Rebates, direct payments to all Americans would relieve economic stresses efficiently, equitably, and, as our analysis shows, effectively |
Brad Polumbo, Foundation for Economic Education Most listeners tune into NPR to catch up on the news on their commute home in the afternoon. But, increasingly, the state-run media outlet’s audience is instead being treated to far-left political arguments—sympathetically aired and left unchallenged. On August 27, the public radio station aired an interview with the author of the book In Defense of Looting, Vicky Osterweil, on the popular Code Switch podcast and published it on NPR.org. Journalist Natalie Escobar opened the ostensibly objective interview by dismissively citing... |
Deniz Cam, Forbes The Carlyle Group co-founder's new book, How To Lead, features candid conversations with CEOs, entrepreneurs and athletes. |
Mitch Albom, USA Today Now that our governor is finished with her shark week, perhaps she can bite into a small but persistent inequity in our COVID-19 shutdowns that, frankly, has gone on too long. Movie theaters. |

Ironman, Political Calculations The U.S. stock market saw continuing improvements for dividend paying firms in August 2020. |
Jenin Younes, AIER Anyone who dares to suggest that we have overreacted to the threat of coronavirus, and in doing so, have caused more harm than the disease itself, is accused of being a grandma-killer, a fascist, and worse. |
Veronique de Rugy, Reason.com Forgiving payroll taxes is a bad way of stimulating the economy and would leave Social Security benefits underfunded. |
