A fundamental change is underway in stock market investing, and the spin-off effects are poised to dramatically impact corporate America.
In the past, individuals and large institutions mostly invested in actively managed mutual funds, such as Fidelity, in which fund managers pick stocks with the aim of beating the market. But since the financial crisis of 2008, investors have shifted to index funds, which replicate established stock indices, such as the S&P 500.

The recent arrests of two 6-year-old students in Orlando, which prompted outrage and the firing of the officer who restrained one child’s hands with flex cuffs, mirrors a persistent problem confronting law enforcement and schools with thousands of children arrested annually and treated like “mini-adults,” experts said.

Impeachment can be profitable, Republicans, Democrats and President Trump found this week.
“We’re going to raise a tremendous amount of money off this,” Harlan Hill, a Trump campaign surrogate and re-election advisory board member, told The Post. “Anytime there is some sort of dustup like this, whether it’s Mueller or anything else, we have a huge surge of donations.
