Market Commentary - 2022 Second Quarter Market Summary and Thoughts on The Rest of 2022

Market Commentary - First Half 2021

After a fairly noisy first quarter when the Democratic administration took over in Washington and meme stocks/Nonfungible Tokens (NFT’s) were all the rage, the second quarter was a little tamer by comparison. With a steady dose of vaccinations available in the US, economic growth accelerated, the employment picture improved and most corporations posted strong earnings growth heading into a quarter with low expectations.
