With the markets trading near all-time highs, it doesn’t seem like this bull run will be ending any time soon. Even the novel coronavirus pandemic could not slow down Wall Street, which is powering along despite enormous external pressures. However, there is still a chance that a stock market crash could be around the corner.

Nio (NYSE:NIO), the Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker, posted lower growth than expected in the first quarter and reduced its outlook for Q2. As a result, I have lowered my expectations as well.

There have been increasing concerns about accelerating inflation in the United States. The latest data indicate that consumer prices in the U.S. increased the most since fiscal year 2009.

It’s interesting the way a company can completely fly under the radar until a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) is mentioned. A case in point would be LM Funding America (NASDAQ:LMFA), as Wall Street didn’t seem to care much about LMFA stock until a SPAC spin-off was announced.

In January 2017, that yield was over 2.5%, and economists are debating whether we’ll soon see a return to those levels. But despite occasional pullbacks in
