FYI: It's been a fabulous start to the year for investors — as long as you ignore all those simmering worries about a possible recession.
S&P 500 index funds are on pace to close out their best quarter in seven years, having returned nearly 12.5 percent in 2019 through Wednesday, and many other investments from junk bonds to foreign stocks have also bounced back from their dismal end to 2018. But the returns would have been even better if not for concerns that slowing growth around the world may drag down the U.S. economy.
The quarter's twists are just the latest for the markets, which have yo-yoed from record heights to fear-induced sell-offs for more than a year.
