There’s a LOT to talk about recently. We had an earthquake on Friday here in NJ, and today is the solar eclipse! In the markets, the economy remains strong and that has everybody questioning interest rate cuts from the Fed in 2024. And to top it all off, tax season is coming to a close next week. Make sure you’re on top of everything, and don’t look up at the eclipse!
Here’s what I’ve been reading this morning:
