Thoughts {03.02.18}

Some things I've seen that I thought I'd share as we transition from winter into early spring and from February into March.  

The major indices lost between 3-5% in February making last month one of the worst we've seen in quite a while.  Of course this has to be viewed in the context that January saw gains of about 6-7% or almost a year's worth of average return in one month.  Go read, "LA Times: "Stocks Close Down, Making February the Worst Month in Two Years for the Market".

From the New York Times, "The (Long) List of Financial Documents You Should Keep".

Believe it or not there is actually a brewing housing shortage in the US.  All those years when nobody built anything for anybody except in the luxury market are catching up with all those millennials who want to start having kids!

We'll be back next week and "finally" do that last piece on portfolios given current volatility.  We'll also at some point discuss what we've seen this past week with stocks.  I am in and out these next two weeks so posting may be less frequent.  Enjoy your weekend.
