Market Trends

This year already feels like it is flying by! These updates are as much for me as they are for you; I like being able to look back and see what the market is doing because it is easy to forget how the market shows or feels at a given time. Being able to look back allows us to plan for the future. We have another month in the bag, and what has the market done in the last month?
