Kristina Hooper, chief global market strategist at Invesco, says that she expects the stock market to remain range-bound for a few months, with the potential for a small pullback before it starts its next upward move at the end of the year. Hooper says she expects that we're less likely to see a serious economic downturn that she was earlier this year, noting that the Federal Reserve "is enjoying being in a more normal rate environment and wants to hold onto that for as long as it can." She also talked up the opportunities in fixed income, while downplaying concerns about the inverted yield curve, noting that investors need to start looking to lengthen maturities now to take advantage of the changing rate conditions. Also on the show, Dave Gilreath, chief investment officer at Innovative Portfolios discusses stocks -- and particularly the 'Bulls of the Dow' strategy, Tom Lydon of VettaFi makes a pioneering mutual fund that created its own niche and now dominates the asset class his pick as ETF of the Week, and Ted Rossman discusses a CreditCards.com study showing which states have the highest and lowest debt burdens relative to the incomes average people earn there.
