WILL THE PARADES ON WALL STREET
AND MAIN STREET HIT A POTHOLE?

With the close of the first quarter, a significant milestone was crossed by the economy, or by “Main Street,” as it’s sometimes called. The U.S. economic expansion has now become the second-longest since 1930. On Wall Street, stocks powered higher, extending their run, which (if it continues) is already the second-strongest in the last 100 years. The parades on Main St. and Wall St. successfully shook off concerns over rising wages and higher interest rates. Will it continue?

Join fellow CEOs for a delicious dinner and an economic overview with John Traynor. This CEO Trust event will engage CEOs to better interpret the evolving dynamics of the economy and provide greater insight into the inevitable challenges and opportunities we and our businesses will face in our future economy.
