We should question the inevitability of future events occurring exactly as people and the numbers foretell, as uncertainty changes as we mature into risk. Whether we like it or not, we become risk assumers or, hopefully, risk managers. My philosophy of life and investing is based on a...
The economic slowdown we’ve been writing about for months officially arrived last Friday in the form of a particularly weak employment report. But the US economy did still add 235,000 jobs in August. The economic recovery is still intact, even if at a reduced rate of change. ...
Strategas chief economist Don Rissmiller discusses the recent hit to consumer confidence and Covid-19’s longer-term ramifications for the labor market and worker productivity. We had a strong first half, so it’s not surprising to see consumer spending come down a bit fro...

Stability breeds instability. This steady climb foreshadows a fragility shock. Our caution signs are on yellow. We warned that the summer would be like a rollercoaster, and it has been for most stocks. Is the “back to work” trade coming back to life? We think it may ...
