We’re back in action after the long weekend for Memorial Day! Hopefully everyone enjoyed the time off. Let’s see if the market can continue to move back up after last week’s positive move!
Here’s what I’ve been reading this morning:

‘Rallies to the Bottom’ – Nick Maggiulli – Of Dollars and Data
- The market had fallen seven weeks in a row before moving back up about 6% last week. Nick takes a look at how US markets have bottomed over the course of history, and how sometimes these “bottoms” could be temporary before another leg lower.
- If you were hoping for a completely normal summer here in 2022, you may want to temper those expectations. Labor shortages for a lot of seasonal businesses might impact how those businesses operate. This article outlines some of the struggles businesses are facing.
ENJOY!
