The markets gave up a little ground this week although ended on a high note.

This week was all about earnings announcements and with few exceptions, they were much better than expected.

I have so much to report this week but such limited space in this weekly update.

With news about the banking issues subsiding, the markets had an opportunity to gain some traction this week.

Despite the continued uncertainty with banks, all the major U.S. equity indices closed higher this week.

I sat down to right this and thought of how the markets continued to sell off this week in the face of further bank closures

Perhaps the brightest thing that happened this week is that we changed the header from a winter scene to a spring scene.

The S&P 500 ends a difficult February with a 2.6% decline in inflation data.

For a short week punctuated by President’s Day, there was no shortage of news or volatility.

This was a complicated week for markets as economic data continues to remain hotter than expected.
