Offbeat Wall Street

We now live in a world where Bob Dylan is a Nobel Prize winner for literature. Of course, Dylan isfamous for his changing phases. He went from folky to rock icon to Christian soldier to old crank, with probably dozens of other iterations along the way. That's a bit like the current stock market. For weeks now, we've been worried about interest rates and the state of the economy. The presidential election has loomed over all of this as well. Now, a flood of corporate earnings reports is coming out. Market focus will have to shift from the Federal Reserve to corporate results to the election and then probably back to the Fed in mid-November. We take a look at the twists and turns that are on the horizon, preview some of the interesting upcoming earnings and look further ahead to when the Fed will come back into view.
