Even to me, a totally naive investor, Elon's commitments aren't…

With the S&P up over 85% in the last 5 years and inflation just falling what might we expect the market to do moving forward?
I also have heard that election years tend to bring out more of a bull market. I’m just curious to see if anyone looking at market trends can speak to what you expect in the coming years. Will we see a long bull session?

PPI Sending Stocks Higher
With yesterday's CPI coming in soft, as expected, and bolstering the rate cut narrative, I'm wondering why PPI coming in hot today wouldn't dampen yesterday's sentiment? It's instead seemed bolster sentiment. Lately, soft and lower than expected readings have been good news for markets, so one would logically anticipate the opposite, hotter readings, to do…

Inherited a whole lot of $JNJ stock — Should I sell and put it into Vanguard/index funds? Something else?
