Reuters / Rafael Marchante Well, it was a fun ride while it lasted. Red-hot corporate earnings growth — historically the biggest contributor to share-price appreciation — has nowhere to go but down, Strategas Research Partners says. This is significant because any sort of slowdown would deprive the market of its most crucial driver — one that has helped keep the stock market afloat amid middling economic data and elevated geopolitical risk. A big part of Strategas' argument stems from the fact that the period against which current earnings are compared — the first half of 2016 — was notably weak.

  • Pourhouse Bar and Grill to begin rooftop expansion work Jan. 20
    Denver Post, Monday - 01/13/2025 - 06:42 PM

    In just a week’s time, work will begin at Pourhouse Bar and Grill, one of downtown Loveland’s many restaurants, to expand upward. The bar will be adding a rooftop patio space, featuring both indoor and outdoor options for people waiting for a table downstairs or looking to enjoy the downtown scenery as they sip a drink and eat some food.
