Hurricane Winds

Hello:

According to the media, there are hurricanes blowing through the markets as well as through Florida. Last week it was the energy sector, this week it appears to be the entertainment sector. As with the real hurricanes, these winds appear to dissipate after a while. We prefer to remain steadily anchored to the time honored methodology of asset allocation and diversification.

Our hearts go out to the victims of the hurricanes and their families. May better times be ahead.
