A Sad Anniversary

As I watched my morning news show, it all came back. The shock, the horror. Five years feels like yesterday. I can't imagine what it feels like for those family members. Financial markets closed on that day and didn't open until a week later. In many ways, the world is a different one today than it was before that September morning. In other ways, things are still the same. We still function the same in business and finance, but we understand the need to be watchful. Oil fell below $65 a barrel today, and I was reminded of our need to cut ties to the Middle East. All indexes posted positive gains today... there's your sign! Dow +4.73 NASDAQ +7.46 S&P 500 +0.62
