| |  Good morning.. Disney launched its Disney+ service on Tuesday, offering over 500 films and 7,500 episodes of television from the media giant's massive library of content. Even better, Disney chose a price point lower than all other competitors, offering customers a huge value and incentive to add another monthly streaming service to their bills.
Besides being overwhelming, the service ran into tech errors on launch day, mostly failing to connect with users. While that may sound like bad news, the market sees this as investors clamoring to enjoy the service, and an indication of how popular the service already is on day one. That's why, despite the headline failures, Disney shares rallied 1.4 percent on the day, beating the overall market.

| Two Ways to Prepare for a Recession | |
|
|
A few months ago, it seemed that a recession was on the horizon. Now, it seems as though investors expect the market rally to continue. All this really tells us is that nobody can know exactly when a recession happens, only that they're an inevitability.
While the last recession was brutal, most recessions are short, lasting less than a year. In that time, investors can make or break a decade's worth of investment returns, depending on how they react.

| The bulls are back…global recession concerns vanish and 'Fear of Missing Out' prompts wave of optimism and jump in exposure to equities & cyclicals. We say…easy part of rally over, tougher part of rally beginning…but rally it can as no 'excess greed,' there is 'excess liquidity' (and trade/fiscal easing), and corporate earnings set to accelerate. |
-Bank of America Chief Investment Strategist Michael Hartnett on why investors have gone from fearing a recession to fear missing out on a market rally.  |
