Stocks were little changed on Monday amid a muted reaction to the French election, the outcome of which was already largely priced into markets.
All three major indices were almost completely unmoved on the day, after the S&P 500 and Nasdaq finished last week at record highs.
First up, the scoreboard:
1. One bullish indicator for stocks just reached a record. Expected price swings in the S&P 500 are at a record low, which implies a lack of nervousness and is generally viewed as a bullish signal for the stock market.
2. Apple broke its own record as the most valuable publicly traded company of all time. Shares of Apple opened at a price of $149.06 a share on Monday. With 5.2 billion shares outstanding, Apple’s market cap was $776.60 billion. That beat Apple’s most recent market-cap peak, set back in February 2015 at $774.7 billion.
3. Wall Street is expecting the worst of the retail apocalypse this week. The focus of earnings season shifts this week to brick-and-mortar retailers, with companies including Macy’s and Nordstrom set to announce first-quarter results. Analysts are not expecting to be impressed.
4. A communications company caught in a bidding war between Verizon and AT&T has seen its stock explode over 500% in 3 months. Straight Path Communications, an owner of spectrum rights for fifth generation, or 5G, networks, has been the subject of a heated bidding war between the two wireless giants.
5. Warren Buffett and Bill Gates don’t think Trump’s tax cut will help business. In an interview with CNBC on Monday, both Gates and Buffett downplayed the benefits of Trump’s proposed tax cut for businesses and said the promised higher growth from the cut was overplayed.
6. These 2 charts highlight Wall Street’s skepticism around Trump’s tax plan. Wall Street analysts are telling President Donald Trump that they don’t expect tax reform to help earnings until next year at the earliest.

NOW WATCH: Watch a Trump surrogate get shut down after calling Trump the ‘Martin Luther King of healthcare’

Warren Buffett thinks that the US healthcare system is broken.
The legendary investor said costs for healthcare have exploded in the US and are holding back business growth.
Buffett pointed out corporate tax payments as a percentage of GDP have shrunk from 4% in 1960 to just 2% now. On the other hand, medical costs have ballooned from 5% of GDP to 17% of GDP currently.
“Medical costs are the tapeworm of American economic competitiveness,” Buffett said.
Buffett said that the lower rate of healthcare spending in other countries is one of the biggest disadvantages for US businesses.
The Berkshire Hathaway CEO also said that for his own business, “the tax system is not crippling our business around the world,” but the burden of healthcare costs make it more difficult to do business.
Additionally, in regards to the American Health Care Act — the bill passed by the House on Thursday to repeal and replace Obamacare — Buffett did not offer a forward prediction on how it would impact people’s healthcare but he did say it had one direct impact on him.
“The net effect of that act is that my federal income taxes would have gone down, down 17%, last year,” Buffett said.
“It’s a huge tax cut for guys like me.”
Buffett went on to say that the AHCA will lower taxes significantly for people making over $250,000 that have large investment income.
“That means one of two things, either the deficit goes up, or someone else’s taxes do,” Buffett said.
Charlie Munger, Buffett’s partner, also decried incentives for healthcare providers to charge ever higher costs for procedures with questionable impact, saying there is “too much chemotherapy on people that are basically dead.”
“A lot of it is greatly immoral,” Munger said. “You have a lot of doctors and hospitals that are feasting on a dying person like jackals on a carcass.”
While Munger and Buffett did not offer particular policy solutions, they did say that the issue is being dealt with poorly by politicians on both sides of the aisle.
“Both parties hate each other so much that neither one of them can think rationally,” Munger said.
