There could be a continued lifting in bank stocks and that's a flight to quality. I think you will continue to see people going to the higher-quality, dividend-paying stocks, where they can get the yield that satisfies them.
Love is taking a few steps backward, maybe even more ... to give way to the happiness of the person you love.
