The “slower summer season” is nearly upon us. For investors, that means if this market isn’t crashing, then it’s bullish. So says Cracked Market blogger Jani Ziedins, who thinks the path of least resistance for equities remains an upward one, largely because (a.) scary trade headlines don’t have the bite they did months ago and (b.) the sell-the-news crowd largely bailed out weeks ago. (A reboot on that war of words between North Korea and the U.S. ahead of the an on-again, off-again summit may be another matter.)
