Retail executives gush about consumer
Shares of retailers have been very strong recently.
Shares of Target are at an all-time high today after reporting its strongest same-store sales in 13 years.
On top of the strong numbers, CEO Brian Cornell was upbeat.
"I've been doing this for a long time, and I think this is the healthiest environment I've ever seen," Cornell said on CNBC.
Shares of Wal-Mart similarly jumped last week.
I think there's a lot of reluctance among economists to boost GDP forecasts because of trade risks but reasons to see upside abound.
