COMMENTARY
With Q2 in the books, it’s a great time to take stock of your personal financial situation and goals for the year. The first half of 2020 was a wild ride and everyone’s finances were impacted in some way.

The recovery, while impressive in some aspects, is not evenly distributed.  The Nasdaq was up 10.6% for the first half of the year, while the Dow  Jones Industrial was down 10.6% for the year.  Lowes (LOW)a dividend king, is back at all time highs, while Cincinnati Financial (CINF), another dividend king, is down almost 40% for the year.

Review your current situation and figure out if any changes are necessary.  Do you need to take some profits?  Change your allocations or strategy?  Redeploy some capital?

Best to your week!
