Millionaire Households Doubled in Fifteen Years | WAYT?

On this episode of What Are Your Thoughts, Josh Brown and Michael Batnick celebrate 15 years of CNBC's Halftime Report and take a look at just how much the markets have changed since 2011. From the explosive growth of tech stocks and ETFs to the rise in millionaire households and retirement wealth, they break down the numbers behind an incredible 15-year run. Plus, big bank earnings, deteriorating market breadth and whether weak participation is actually a bullish signal, the selloff in consumer stocks, what seasonality tells us about the market's next move, and how to tell the difference between a great value opportunity and a value trap.
