WSJ Your Money Briefing · Investors Turn to 'Safety' Stocks to Score Dividends · 20 Sep 2018 podcast

So those two things combined, I think, make investors a little bit more reluctant to make these big bets because, you know, if you've done pretty well for the year, you kind of want to start trimming your big positions, maybe pull back a little bit on tech stocks, for instance, which have already done pretty well.

and services across the country.

So a lot of people who look at the Dow Theory have seen the recent highs that we've seen in the Dow Jones Transportation Average as a bullish sign for the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which still hasn't passed its January all-time high.

Yeah, and it's quite impressive, especially because we have seen trade tensions hitting stocks elsewhere much harder.

For instance, we have major indexes in Hong Kong and Shanghai, both trading in bear market territory.

And particular groups of companies have been suffering, like aluminum companies and agricultural companies, things that people tend to associate with trade tensions.
