The U.S. economy remains on a solid footing. We’re going to talk about that now with our Chief Equity Strategist and Economist, John Blank.

1. Is our economy in the late stages of expansion as some are saying?

2. What should we be seeing in order for the expansion to continue?

3. What’s the impact from the trade situation and other geopolitical tensions presently?

4. Will tighter global trade conditions slow the global economy?

5. Is the Fed on the right track with rate increases given the solid footing we’re on?

6. How long into next year do you think our economy remains on this solid footing?
