Market Thoughts for April 2016 [Video]

In my latest Market Thoughts video, I discuss the markets and economy in March. After two bad months, everything appears to be moving in the right direction, as markets were up about 7 percent across the board, and even foreign markets fared well. 

What happened to cause this reversal? Consumer confidence, which has benefited from a rebound in oil prices, a moderating dollar, and reasonably strong economic fundamentals.
