The Confident Dollar Podcast

In this episode I give you my take on what is happening in the stock market. We discuss what's next after that November rally, Santa Claus Rallly's and what the election year can bring to the market. 

Remember - past performance can't predict future results, but looking at historical markets can give us an idea of what to possibly expect.
