Even after a rally, the S&P 500 closed at 6,539 and was down about 4 percent for the quarter, and the Dow closed at 46,254, down about 4 percent. Core CPI rose 2.4 percent year over year, the Fed held rates at 3.5 to 3.75 percent, and the 10 year Treasury yield ended around 4.35 percent. I also highlighted rising oil prices and the low money market and CD rates, plus the need to stay disciplined and keep a long term perspective. I asked you to schedule and attend your next review meeting, and to reach out with any questions."}
