Good Morning, 

DID YOU KNOW?  The DOW and S&P 500 enter their 11th straight year of a bull market. U.S. stocks have been been rising for 10 straight years since the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average both bottomed out on March 9, 2009, during the 2008-09 global market meltdown. Both are up around 300%.
 
DID YOU KNOW?  Consumer spending accounts for nearly 70% of the US economy. Now consider that wages have risen around 3% in the past year and unemployment is at an all-time low......these two factors - not to mention warmer happier Spring weather - and chances are spending will be healthy....and the economy too. Throw in a US-China trade deal and we could experience a very solid 2019..... (Marketwatch)
 
DID YOU KNOW?  The venture capital industry has ballooned over the past decade. Recent research has found that the size of the sector has effectively tripled in just 10 years: in 2008, $53 billion was invested in start-ups, and by last year it was $160 billion. (Barron's)

"I don’t want to be a tone-deaf CEO; while the company is doing fine, it is absolutely obvious that a big chunk of people have been left behind - 40% of Americans make less than $15 an hour: 40% of Americans can’t afford a $400 bill, whether it’s medical or fixing their car."

–Jamie Dimon, Chairman & CEO of J.P.Morgan Chase

Concerts and festivals in the Coachella Valley have lured a new generation of desert explorers, creating a selection of design-driven hotels and restaurants. I am taking my older daughter this year to Coachella….. I am sure this will be an experience! Look out for photos in the next issue.
