Following the worst week of 2019 for the major equity indexes, the S&P 500 (SPY) finished the week lower by another 0.7% as trade talks have reportedly broken down between the US and China. Progress on North American trade relations and a delay of the European auto tariffs were welcome news for investors, who have flocked to bonds and domestic-focused equity sectors in recent weeks, taking the 10-year yield down near 18-month lows.

How To Earn A Good Yield With Nvidia Stock
NVIDIA (NVDA) just reported earnings, and the stock is up nearly 7% after hours. I was a big fan of NVDA and began writing about it in 2015 when it was trading at under $20 per share. I lost interest in the stock in 2018, which happens to contain NVDA's top.
