Today's TOP TIPS Supply Chain Issues or Not, Retail Trends Will Likely Move Higher The economy has been moving strongly past the pandemic, but concerns over inflation and supply chain disruptions have led to some uncertainty. While markets are generally heading higher, one area is likely to continue plugging along at a steady and growing rate. That space? Retail. Pent-up consumer demand is coming out as the labor market looks to not only stabilize, but do so at higher wages. That bodes well to companies across the retail spectrum. » FULL STORY Insider Trading Report: Alaska Air Group (ALK) Jessie knight, a director at Alaska Air Group (ALK) picked up another 1,200 shares last month.

As many suspected, the central bank made its first discussion since the start of the pandemic as to when and how it should scale back, or "taper" its purchases of financial assets.
