Last week, the Dow hit numbers we’ve never seen before.  15,000-plus.  The S&P at all-time high stock market numbers, too.
So, what’s going on?  Recovery?  Bubble?  Something else?  Is it all about the Fed?  Millions of Americans have nothing to do with the stock market these days.  But millions do need to save, build a nest egg. So what’s going on on Wall Street?

This hour, On Point:  dissecting the big run-up in stocks, and what it means.

Plus: we will look at superstar actress Angelina Jolie’s decision to have a double mastectomy at 37 to reduce her risk of breast cancer.
