Very nice. Easy to take some down years with gains like that. I like an 8-10% average over the long haul so anything above that is gravy.

Seems pretty simple to me Heard from some economists a slow down in 2019 based on indicators today. Don't see anyone predicting a large recession. In reality, they have no idea. Economists didn't predicted the financial crisis in 2008 either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case I was up almost 2% today. Edited June 4, 2018 by Highmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
