Against this backdrop, investors may want to keep their eyes on stocks that reliably deliver strong returns. Wolfe Research screened for companies with a history of strong returns — as gauged by return on equity and return on capital employed — along with consistent earnings growth. Fast-casual burrito chain Chipotle Mexican Grill is another stock with historically strong returns and earnings growth, according to the firm's screener.

Increasingly, consumers are drowning in a sea of spam messages and scams from political campaigns, and experts said it's not going to change anytime soon. And while they themselves said they get annoyed by the flood of spam messages, political campaigners said that annoying voters is simply part of the job.
