There has been a lot of talk about “The Great Resignation” in 2021 as we saw a record number of Americans quit their jobs. John Nelson joins Local 4 News to share why this number should make us optimistic about the future.
Slaughtered Sentiment
OVERVIEW After a volatile week that saw a lot of intraday price swings, the U.S. stock market ended the week with moderate gains. The S&P 500 rose 0.77%, the Dow climbed 1.34%, and the Nasdaq remained roughly flat with a 0.01% gain. International stocks,...
Throwing It in Reverse
This past Monday, the S&P 500 index gained 0.28%. That seemed like a pretty normal day—nothing to write home about there. However, like a duck frantically kicking its legs under the surface of the pond, the S&P 500 had to stage quite the comeback...

The Nasdaq Has Breadth Issues
Here’s a remarkable fact that might be surprising to some: Nearly 40% of the stocks in the Nasdaq Composite are down at least 50% from their one-year high. And yet, the Nasdaq itself was only down about 7% at the start of the week. That’s a pretty big...
Record Keeping
