The major market indexes have each gained 20% or more from their respective bottoms, and by that measure suggest the start of the next bull market.

There is a debate raging on Wall Street about the official status of the stock market. In June 2022, the benchmark S&P 500 index closed 20% below its all-time high, which marked the beginning of a technical bear market. That much was agreed upon, and the market continued to slide until October 2022. But the index has bounced back this year, and it was recently up more than 20% from that October low point.

In a nutshell, Social Security's resources are being drained due to a mass exodus of baby boomers from the labor force.

Last year was a tough one for Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN). The company's already-thin profit margins were further pressured by soaring costs.
