Market Week September 24, 2018
The Markets (as of market close September 21, 2018) Performance of the benchmark indexes listed here was a mixed bag last week. Large caps of the Dow and S&P 500 outperformed the tech stocks of the Nasdaq and the small caps of the Russell 2000. Maybe investors are becoming immune to the ongoing trade battle between the United States and China, as threats of an additional $200 million in U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports didn't seem to push investors away from stocks. The yield
Market Week September 17, 2018
The Markets (as of market close September 14, 2018) Tech and foreign stocks led the way as the market rebounded from the prior week's decline.

Aging in place recognizes that physical functions decline with age and certain tasks – such as climbing stairs, bending and lifting – become more challenging. Aging in place in your long-term residence may not be right for you, as it is not appropriate for everyon
Market Week September 4, 2018
The Markets (as of market close August 31, 2018) Trade concerns pushed stocks lower at the end of the week, wiping out some early-week gains. Canada and the United States couldn't come up with a trade agreement, and a major U.S. auto manufacturer changed its plans to import a car made in China due to increased tariffs. Nevertheless, each of the indexes listed here gained ground on their respective prior week's value. The Nasdaq led the way for the week and continues to enjoy
