 Oil futures ended higher on Monday on the heels of last week's loss, finding some support as a possible oil workers' strike in Norway may lead to lower production, analysts said. Oil firms in Norway plan to close down 22% of the nation's oil and gas output if workers go on strike on Wednesday, Reuters reported Friday. Price gains for oil, however, were modest as traders continued to fret over the rise in global cases of COVID-19 and outlook for energy demand. November West Texas Intermediate crude rose 35 cents, or 0.9%, to settle at $40.60 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Hopes for economic help from Washington were reignited over the weekend, enabling Wall Street to ignore several potentially bearish catalysts Monday and send stocks to a wide-ranging rally.
Most concerning might have been the news that Inovio Pharmaceuticals' (INO, -28.3%) COVID-19 vaccine candidate was put in a "partial clinical hold."

Uncertainty over what we'll hear in the presidential debates, which begin Tuesday night, also might have been considered an overhang given the importance of the 2020 elections to the nation's economic picture.
"The U.S. election is taking place against a historic backdrop of a pandemic, recession and domestic strife," say BlackRock Investment Institute strategists. "The outcome could have significant implications for key policy areas: fiscal stimulus, public investment, taxation, regulation and foreign affairs. It also has the potential to supercharge structural trends such as an increased policy and market focus on sustainability."
But first and foremost on investors' minds was House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's Sunday revelation that the House is working on a smaller $2.4 trillion stimulus package; she was scheduled to talk to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin today.
Twenty-seven of the Dow Jones Industrial Average's 30 components finished in the black today, including big gainers Boeing (BA, 6.4%) and Dow (DOW, 3.1%), leading the industrial average 1.5% higher to 27,584.

U.S. stocks closed sharply higher Monday, starting the week on a higher note as investors bought shares of banks, energy companies, as well as materials and industrials firms. Talk of some progress toward a fresh coronavirus aid package, however unlikely to gain much traction on Washington, and bargain hunting by investors betting on happier economic times in the throes of a global viral outbreak, helped to revive some degree of the bullish sentiment. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed up 410 points, or 1.5%, at 27,583, the S&P 500 index finished the session up 1.6% at 3,352, powered by a 2.3% gain in financials and a 2.3% in the energy sector . The Nasdaq Composite Index , meanwhile, closed 1.9% higher at 11,117, retaking a psychological perch above 11,000. All closing numbers are on a preliminary basis. Shares of Citigroup and Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo & Co. closed up 2.9% and 3.1%, and 3.5% respectively, helping to lead the charge higher for the economically sensitive banking sector, underscoring some bets for an improved economy by investors and efforts by investors to find value in beaten down sectors that have not enjoyed the run-up in stocks to the same degree as the highflying technology-related and work-from-home shares. Investors are also focused on the looming 2020 presidential election, with a debate between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden set for Tuesday, which could also influence investment behavior in the short term. Last week, stocks took a hit amid rising concerns of a renewed spread of the novel strain of coronavirus that causes COVID-19. Markets got off to a strong start on Monday partly due to solid economic data out of China, which appeared to overshadow reports of fresh lockdowns and growing cases of COVID-19 in parts of Europe.

These days, following an election can feel like watching the same slasher film every day for six months straight. But how should our political leanings impact our investing decisions? Specifically, should you sell before, during or after the election? While some might say that depends on who wins, I would take a different approach.
Two Clients Who Immediately Come to Mind
I remember receiving a call the morning after President Trump won in 2016 from a client who wanted to sell out of the market because he was sure President Trump would run stocks into the ground. After some conversation we agreed to look the other way on politics for a while and focus instead on his investing strategy, keeping the two parts of his life divided and keeping his assets in the market. Looking back, he would have kicked himself if he'd allowed his political views to leave him out of an amazing runup in equities following President Trump's election: After the "Trump rally," market performance during Trump's term showed strong annualized returns of 11.1% per year, with data through Aug. 3, 2020.

On the other side of the aisle, I recall a client who was an avid supporter for President Trump and spent time standing by the roadside holding a Trump sign up for passing traffic (he was a pretty committed supporter). This client insisted on getting out of the market completely before the election because he believed Hillary Clinton would win and that the markets would be negatively impacted. In this case, the client missed the aforementioned equities runup completely, but for totally different emotional reasons than the first client. Not only was he frustrated that he

Income investors have been forced to become far more selective about the dividend-paying stocks they stash in their portfolios.
More than 60 S&P 500 firms have cut or suspended their dividends in 2020. In some cases, the companies involved have been trying to maintain their financial flexibility in the midst of a pandemic-sparked recession, while others have simply had no choice but to cut all but the most vital of cash expenditures.
While the market has come roaring back from the depths that prompted those dividend-paying stocks to cut back, we're not out of the woods yet. A number of dividend stocks still look like potential payout-cut risks, while others simply look unattractive given lackluster recovery prospects.
The DIVCON system from exchange-traded fund provider Reality Shares can help investors weed out some of these riskier dividend payers. This system uses a five-tier rating, from 1 to 5, to gauge companies' dividend health. A DIVCON 5 rating indicates not just a healthy dividend, but a high likelihood of dividend growth. DIVCON 1 dividend stocks, on the other hand, are the likeliest to cut or suspend their payouts.
Within each DIVCON rating is a composite score based on factors including free cash flow-to-dividends, profit growth, buybacks as a percentage of dividends and more.
Here are 11 dividend-paying stocks that you should avoid at the moment. Each of these stocks has a DIVCON rating of either 2 or 1, awarded based on various metric readings that point to dividend and other difficulties in the months ahead. Long-term investors are better off focusing their efforts (and money) on dividend investments with more stability and b
