In case you’re in a hurry, here are three things to know right now. First, unemployment and GDP data is showing a healthy economy with fewer jobs being created than last year and total economic output slowing modestly. Normally that’d be bad news, but the market is not taking it that way. Second, banks are starting to get more choosey about who they lend money to, and that makes sense because of some of the high-profile bank failures of late. And third, in the next month or two we’re going to hear a lot more about the debt ceiling, about our national debt, and about the future of our economy. I’ll be publishing a special 2-part trend talk on this important topic starting next week – it’s definitely something you won’t want to miss.

OK let’s jump right in – 3 minutes starts now.

Mark Scheffler, AIF®, hosts this Three Minute Trend Talk™, highlighting current investment and economic issues, clearTREND® recommendations for the positions used in all Appleton Group managed portfolios, global investment trends, and more (select 1080p HD for best resolution, 720p HD for slower connections).
