You see earnings growth that is really strong across the world right now.
And you see economic growth that is slow but steady and actually improving in most areas.
So
you know, a lot of people say, well, hold on.
Well, what about politics?
What about, you know, there's so much turmoil in the U.S.
There's Brexit.
What about that?
And at least for now, what we've seen in markets is that earnings, the economy, they have overshadowed any sort of political turmoil that we've seen around the world.
Yeah.
So a lot of this gets back to this historically low volatility environment that we've heard so much about over the past several weeks, several months, really.
So if you look at the VIX, which is the volatility indicator that a lot of people like to cite, the so-called fear gauge, that closed at one of its lowest levels ever.
over the past few days is below 10.
It's at its lowest since 1993.
It's just showing how calm things are.
And so there's two ways to look at this.
One is that if you are a professional trader who makes a living trading on volatility and really does well when markets are swinging up and down, you're not doing so well.
But if you are just your regular average Joe, individual retail investor, you watch your 401k, you're doing quite well this year.
It's been a really spectacular year, and it's been a year that hasn't really been so volatile.
It hasn't been volatile at all, actually.
