Think of the enormity of this. The jeans were $50 in 1983. After 36 years...Read More

By: David Chapman The market keeps chugging higher. Well, maybe chugging is not quite the right word as this past week's markets were decidedly mixed. Decent earnings and a Q1 advance GDP growth of 3.2% year over year, coupled with low inflation, did the trick. The S&P 500 gained 1.2% on the week and closed at a record high although the index did not actually make a new all-time high, falling...Read More
