Test the markets resilience. Stocks have been melting up, trading near record levels, despite some of the recent upheaval and uncertainty. In the days ahead, a jampacked economic calendar, hearings on capitol hill, and elections in europe have the potential perhaps to reshape that landscap bob pisani takes a look at the road ahead for investors.

Tough place. I rode the high road and got knocked back down into the valley but the best thing about being in the valley is you learn when you get back up how you can do things better so it can change.

In my book, in 1968 Lyndon Johnson is dealing with the riots and the aftermath of Martin Luther king assassination. And johnson is in marine one flying over the riot torn areas of washington, d. C. Theres a picture taken of him at that moment that looks eerily like bush flying over the katrina area. So the lesson, getting back to your question, thats less than one, but the other lesson is sometimes it makes sense or president to go to disaster area, somet
Correspondent scott thuman. Scott well, donald trump calling it a Victory Party tonight. If there is one thing we learned is dont discount his chances. Donald trump has shown new york city and the entire world that he should not be underestimated. In what a year ago may have seemed implausible, today a reality. Donald trump casting a vote presumably for himself to be president of the United States. Everything is very good. Typical trump fashion with a tweet. Today we make America Great again he wrote. But to do so the onetime democratic and selfinscribed insider he has to surpass what romney did. In the lengthy process where he dispatched 16 other primary opponents, nothing has been orthodox. If we dont win i will consider this the single greatest waste of time, do you need energy for this. His message of draining the swamp rallied voters in a remarkable way.
