Bank stocks have been rallying since the election on hopes that President Trump will ease regulation on the financial industry and cut taxes for businesses.
  • Buying online could cost you.  Walmart is charging more for some products on its website compared to in its actual store including Kraft macaroni & cheese, Colgate toothbrushes and some pet food.  It's a surprising move because Walmart has been trying to beef up its e-commerce business to better compete with Amazon.
