In Barron's exclusive Big Money Poll, 137 professional money managers shared how they're investing amid big questions about politics, economics, and the path of the pandemic. Their conflicting convictions underscore the challenges facing investors today. barrons.com/articles/u-s-m…
A majority of poll respondents are bullish on U.S. stocks over the coming year, at 54%. Roughly a third describe their outlook as neutral, with the remaining 13% bearish. barrons.com/articles/u-s-m…
Even though the bulls don’t see major gains in store in the near term, they are upbeat about stocks post-Covid. Bullish managers see the Dow Jones Industrial Average ending the year about even with current levels, at 28,433 on average. barrons.com/articles/u-s-m…

An increasing income and wealth disparity among Americans has been simmering for decades, a widening gap that could have long-term economic implications and threaten the market’s recovery. barrons.com/articles/why-t…
On its face, income and wealth inequality is a natural byproduct of a capitalist system. But when inequality gets exaggerated, it has broad repercussions—and by multiple metrics, wealth inequality has made the U.S. an outlier among developed nations. barrons.com/articles/why-t…
The U.S. middle class now makes up roughly 50% of the population, putting the nation closer to countries like Russia and Turkey, rather than Japan, France, or Germany, where the middle class makes up more than 60% of the population. barrons.com/articles/why-t…

When the World Health Organization declared Covid-19 a global pandemic, the U.S. housing market came to halt. While that might be bad news for real estate agents and moving companies, it could spare the market the worst of this crisis. Here's how: barrons.com/articles/home-…
Excluding the Great Recession, there have been 1,039 instances of state recessions in a given month since 1997, according to Zillow—and home value appreciation occurred 81% of that time. barrons.com/articles/home-…
So far, home prices have held up: The median list price for houses for sale on Zillow at the end of April was actually 1% higher than it was the same time last year. barrons.com/articles/home-…

The Senate passed its $2 trillion coronavirus aid package late last night. Here's what's in it, and how it could impact everyone from individuals to entire sectors:
1. Direct payments: $1,200 per taxpayer with income up to $75,000, with a phaseout beginning at that income level and ending at $99,000. Families will also receive $500 per child. Payments will be issued by the Treasury Department through direct deposit and physical checks.
2. A big extension of unemployment benefits: Jobless claims will be available longer and benefits will be improved for four months. Unemployment benefits will also be available to furloughed workers, freelancers, and so-called gig-economy workers like Uber drivers.
