Politics Played A Role in Portfolios

Topics discussed: Markets re-opened Tuesday this week after the MLK holiday on Monday, and experienced some modest moves to the downside on the week as of Thursday's press time ... But in a shortened market week where the big political news (impeachment hearings) are completely ignored by markets, and where there is no notable macroeconomic news or Federal Reserve announcements to process, it gives us a great opportunity to catch up on other topics not given enough attention in the Dividend Cafe. We'll talk shale this week, viral fears in China, why a high bond supply does the opposite to interest rates that most people expect, and we spend a lot of time in Politics & Money ... So jump on into the Dividend Cafe. It's a good one. Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com
