Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackFred, just FYI (a MAJOR macro news item), a few news reports coming out that North Korea just declared peace with the USA. This will be interesting to follow in the weekend needless to say (if you are a stock nerd like me). Very interesting news indeed.
As far as market impact?
I have NO idea as usual.
Happy new Year all btw (whoever is reading). Let’s hope for peace and properity.
