Stocks were indicated to open lower on Thursday after Wednesday’s recovery rally. It is no secret that the election and a weaker economy keep posing risks, along with high market valuations. Still, investors keep proving that each sell-off is an opportunity to buy. Investors are also looking for new ideas to generate income or gains ahead.
