Good MorningThe market held relatively steady on Thursday following Wednesday’s deep decline. The S&P 500 held within a fairly tight range despite dropping 0.20% at the open.

With the market in a wait-and-see mode, the only thing to do now is to wait and see. The good news is that we may not have much longer to wait. One of the biggest uncertainties facing the market is the outcome of President Trump’s attempt to reverse the election. The electoral college is slated to meet in just a few days and is expected to certify the vote in favor of Joe Biden. With that out of the way, the next big market move will come down to two things; the pandemic and the stimulus.
