1 | Week In Review

All major indices were up this week, despite the 10 year Treasury going up by over 20 basis points. One reason is likely the gloom experienced in Europe, which faces a strong dollar and a looming energy crisis. What are the odds of a recession in 2023? Annex Wealth Management’s Dave Spano and Derek Felske discuss.

2 | Poll

It’s about the time of the year when millions of people start their holiday shopping. Year after year, more and more shoppers look to online shopping as their preferred method of purchasing items. Even with virtual shopping, there’s a handful of methods one can choose from, including Buy Online, Pick-Up-In-Store (BOPIS), Showrooming, or Curbside Pickup.

Despite the growing popularity of online shopping, there are still those who choose to stick with buying what they need in a physical store. We wanted to see what our readers’ habits were, so in last week’s poll we asked how much of your purchases are made online and/or via an app.

Here’s what you responded:

  • 0-24% – 43%
  • 25-49% – 23%
  • 50-74% – 25%
  • 75-99% – 9%

We also asked what types of items you order when you shop online:

  • Apparel/Shoes – 53
  • Groceries – 10
  • Furniture – 11
  • Electronics – 45
  • Beauty/Health/Personal Care – 44
  • Other – 64

This week’s survey we redirect back to financials.

The 10/14 University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment survey showed an increase in sentiment – the highest in six months.
