Equities and the Economy Good morning. After six sessions of negative news, for that is how long this losing streak has lasted, I finally get to relay (and I bet you already know what I’m going to say!) U.S. equities had a good day. No, they had a great day! In fact, on a percentage […]

Equities and the Economy Good morning and happy National Anisette Day. Ok. Let’s just get it out of the way first. Greece. With the Greek referendum scheduled for Sunday and despite overtures from the Greeks, the Brussels Group has ceased negotiations until after the referendum. It makes total sense. If the Greeks vote “Yes” then […]
