In the keynote address, Harvard Business School Professor Jay Light noted that there are at least 11 ways that investors can participate in the returns on the Standard and Poor’s 500 composite index (see Box 1).

Stimulus developments have been of interest this morning. Briefly, Treasury Secretary Mnuchin offered a new $916 billion stimulus bill that includes $600 direct payments to Americans but no enhanced unemployment benefits. The bill is slightly larger than the $908 billion bipartisan bill that excludes direct payments but includes unemployment relief. Democratic Congressional leadership called it progress, according to Bloomberg, but reiterated the need for unemployment relief and said talking points should still be focused on the bipartisan plan. They also shot down Senate Majority Leader McConnell's suggestion of leaving out funding for state and local governments.
