News this week that inflation eased more than expected in October solidified the view that the Federal Reserve is done with its most aggressive rate-hike campaign in four decades.

And that could be a boon for the stock market and your 401(k).

    I will add that I still think we are due for a correction but that comes from the major stocks warming that the current quarter sales are gonna look ugly, even grocery stores have been warning that overall sales on amount and expense are down. Discount groceries sure are taking off too. I don’t know how much of a dip but I think the post black Friday numbers might cause a short term slump on a lot of retail stocks

      Inflation will hurt Christmas sales for sure. We’re buying less at my house
