My second takeaway last Monday was “now what”? It was my first reaction to news that the 21-hour peace talks between the U.S. and Iran effectively went nowhere over the previous weekend. Similarly, but under somewhat different circumstances my first reaction to where we were and are entering this week is what now? And the “what now” reaction is for two reasons.

Records, records, everywhere...was the story of last week as an explosive rally took hold on Wall Street. Not only did stocks recover all their losses from the onset of the Iran war, but also the S&P 500 and Nasdaq finished the week having set a series of record high closes with the biggest rally of them all to end the week. Additionally, the Nasdaq ended the week with a greater than two-and-a-half-week winning streak...

As always, there are two sides to every story and one side to the facts. The narrative that tax relief under President Trump is primarily aimed at “millionaires and billionaires” doesn't align with the numbers. Upper-income earners continue to pay the vast majority of federal income taxes, while nearly a third of Americans (and effectively closer to half when considering broader effective liability) have little or no federal income tax burden.

Yes, the Iran war is and has been about preventing Iran's ability to prosecute a nuclear war, however it was never just about Iran's nuclear ambitions.
