What do you think will happen when the economic data finally does see the light of day?
For those uninformed, the Bureau of Economic Analysis has canceled their release of the Q3 advanced estimate on GDP along with not releasing the jobs report for October. With the sweeping tarrifs, high inflation and mass deportations all playing major rolls in GDP, these numbers can't be good. So my …
Advantages of Fidelity vs Schwab vs Vanguard vs Merrill?
