Good morning. There was only a small chance that the Federal Reserve would make some kind of change in its current policy in its last meeting of the year. But yesterday, the central bank stated that it was keeping interest rates unchanged at zero, and that it would continue with asset support (i.e., quantitative easing, i.e., money printing) as needed.

It didn't give markets much of a shot in the arm. Given the performance of stocks this year, a further push was hardly needed in the last fortnight of 2020. The Fed's moves this year brought back all of the programs it took months to develop during the financial crisis in the span of less than a month. And with the ever-popular "Money Printer Go Brrr" meme still in effect, traders should expect market pullbacks, but not full-blown bear markets, anytime soon.

It's no surprise that the restaurant space has had a challenging year. Most small, family-owned restaurants are at risk of bankruptcy, if they haven't yet gone under. But even publicly-traded companies in the sector have struggled as well.

For those chains with poor delivery and takeout options, it's been a challenge. But companies that have quickly adapted to the times are likely to thrive.

Insider Trading Report: KeyCorp (KEY)
Robin Hayes, a director at KeyCorp (KEY), recently started a stock position with a 2,500 share buy. The purchase cost a total of $40,000.

Over the past year, insiders have seen both buyers and sellers. But buyers have held the advantage, thanks to multiple director buys and a 100,000 share purchase from the company President back in April. Over the past three years, insiders have been net sellers, so 2020 has been an outlying year for insider activity.

Quote of the Day
If you have cash and you're looking for a rate of return, you're not going to get it holding it in cash, you're not going to get it in debt instruments. There's no yield anywhere. So it's almost the old TINA - there is no alternative. You've got to own stocks. That's where the action appears to be, and that's why we've seen people rush into IPOs and have some of them double on the first day.
- Art Cashin, Director of Floor Operations at UBS, on why stocks look attractive going into 2021 even as the economy has remained weak.
