Instead of optimism, law firms might have confidence that they can increase demand for their services if they try X, Y and Z. The second half of 2016 was not a good one for law firms. The interesting thing the Citi Private Bank's Law Firm Group found about that is this: Many law firm managing partners had predicted those six months would have been a period of growth for their particular firm. Here is the report from Bloomberg Law. Call it a time of magical thinking.

The Wall Street Journal predicts the Dow will open (and, by implication) close in positive territory. Specifically, it reports: "Global stocks rose Monday …" The main reason is the easing of tensions about trade between the U.S. and China.

As we get older, that usually only hurts our ego. At social events, for example, those in the room tend to treat us as invisible. Ageism Bites. The extent of how age bias can harm us becomes obvious when we are seeking work. If we're fortunate, our former employer provides outplacement.
