This morning’s quarterly numbers from three of the largest U.S. financial institutions weren’t greeted with cheers. But if you think the banks are crashing, you just haven’t been paying attention.

Don’t Expect A Market Rewind In 2021 (Wall Street Already Got One)

Listen to the Options Market and Stop Overthinking the Election
Listen to the options market to avoid becoming one of the many investors who have essentially checked out until we know the way the votes stack up after the Nov. 3 presidential election.
