Hiccup in soft landing story Why are we hitting this string of down days? There's a hiccup in the soft landing story. That's causing a speed bump for stocks, particularly tech stocks, which are underperforming this month and this quarter. And despite poor economic news out of China, the macroeconomic environment in the U.S. remains strong and still supportive of a soft landing. At 19.2 times forward earnings, the S & P 500 is still richly valued.

August 7 - The Boston Red Sox will attempt to end a four-game losing streak and pull themselves back into the American League wild-card race when they open a four-game series against the visiting Kansas City Royals on Monday. The Blue Jays completed a three-game sweep of the Red Sox with a 13-1 victory on Sunday. "Tough weekend," Red Sox manager Alex Cora said. Kansas City acquired Ragans, 25, in the trade that sent Aroldis Chapman to the Texas Rangers in June. The Royals recalled Ragans from Triple-A to start against the Mets last Wednesday, when he tossed six scoreless innings in Kansas City's 4-0 victory.
