The Two Wackiest Months Are Here

So Amazon has joined the $1 trillion dollar shave club! It is now a party of two. So I have to wonder who will be next to the next contestant on the price is ripe? Will it be GOOGL or MSFT? They are both about $850B in cap now. So the race is on! As I joked on my twitter @AlAbaroa if we are going in Alphabet(ical) order, you know my guess!  In today’s post I’m standing in front of Trump Tower in Chicago. This is not meant to make a political statement as much as it is a reminder that we are in volatile times. We have entered the two wackiest months of the stock market’s year, at least in my opinion. I remind all to know your risk, and how to adjust it. Also, think about what Social Security optimization means to you. So many people are leaving countless dollars of benefits behind. Don’t let that happen to you!
