Emerald Bay Connection | From the Desk of Maura Short

Good Morning,

DID YOU KNOW? According to The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), Vienna Austria is the most live-able city in the world for the second year in a row with almost perfect scores for stability, culture and environment, education and infrastructure and health care. Melbourne Australia, Sydney, Osaka and Calgary comprised the top 5. Honolulu scored the highest among U.S. cities, ranking 22nd.

I’m bullish on U.S. businesses, global businesses. We’re not in

some defensive posture where we’re mostly in cash or anything like that.

The strategy that has been used on the investments is to be

over 60% in equities. –Bill Gates.

We’re not forecasting or expecting a recession. The most likely

outlook is still moderate growth, a strong labor market and inflation

continuing to move back up. –Fed Chairman Powell
