Stock Futures Sitting Out Trump's Celebration of Mueller Report

Attorney General William Barr said in a letter to Congress Sunday that Special Counsel Robert Mueller found no evidence of collusion with Russia in the 2016 presidential campaign.

Social scientists call this “illusory superiority.” My business partner Scott Puritz, has found the one area where even above-average people, objectively smart, rich, successful professionals, seem to wave the white flag and admit to not understanding — money and investing. “One of the most shocking things is the low-level financial literacy throughout our culture,” Puritz told the Washington Post.
