Merry Christmas! 🎁
Wishing you peace, joy, and meaningful moments with those you love.
Please note that both the markets and our office are closed today, Wednesday, December 25, in observance of the holiday.

December has historically been one of the strongest months for U.S. equities, thanks in part to the “Santa Claus Rally”—a tendency for markets to rise in the final week of the year. While not guaranteed, it’s a reminder of the value of staying invested through the holidays.
