– By Fred Dunlap – We come into today’s trading on the heels of a historic meltdown in US financial markets. As I write to you this morning before the markets open, I am reminded that exactly three weeks ago, we were celebrating all-time highs on all three stock indexes (the Dow, S&P 500 and […]
The Machines are in Charge
