Stocks week ahead: Can the stock market’s momentum continue into 2022?
Wall Street certainly thinks so. Jonathan Golub, chief US equity strategist at Credit Suisse, predicts that the S&P 500 will rise to 5,200, roughly 9% above where it finished 2021. That would mark a healthy gain, though it pales in comparison to the index’s 27% climb over the past 12 […]

Stocks week ahead: Has Wall Street missed the boat on cryptocurrencies?
One reason banks are hesitant: Cryptocurrencies are still in regulation purgatory. The US government, for example, can’t decide what they are. As currencies they face very little regulation.
