The Compass – November 2021

Three quarters down and one to go. Seems just like yesterday that we were planning for what 2021 was going to look like. We now have a fairly good idea, but unknowns persist as we prepare for year-end planning and look forward to 2022. Over the last several weeks we have seen elevated volatility as the markets and investors try to assess the impacts of inflation, uncertainty over additional fiscal stimulus, timing of the Federal Reserve tapering of asset purchases, and ongoing disruptions in the supply chain.

The Compass – July 2021

Well the first half of the year has flown by!!! And as the United States and the world have begun to re-open it has been positive on many levels.

The Compass – March 2021

It is hard to believe this year is 2 months old and hard to believe that this year is only 2 months old. What may be even harder to believe is that the shutdowns to combat the spread of the coronavirus started only 1 year ago. It seems more like dog years. But there is positive news to report. Locales around the country are planning their re-open or have already begun the process, even on a measured basis, as individuals begin to get their vaccine shots. Several drug companies have been granted approval and citizens begin to get back to normal, or whatever a “new” normal may look like. We all look forward to what that new normal looks like and put the last 12 months behind us.
