- Summary: BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA, UNITED STATES (DECEMBER 31, 2019) (REUTERS VIA SKYPE) (SOUNDBITE) (English) FIPLAN PARTNERS, PRESIDENT AND CEO, GREG POWELL, SAYING: "Well, at this particular time, of course, year-end, people are really not as interested. They're closing out any positions that they may want to take some profits on. But in addition to that, the markets have kind of just gotten used to that rhetoric. They're waiting to see when it does happen and if it does, I think there'll be a big positive for corporate America to start saying, 'Hey, we now understand the rules a little bit better in the game. And, so, we will start investing back into our own corporations or opening up more trade if possible.'"
