There’s been a lot of buzz flying around about the coming IPO of Snap. It’s almost hard to believe a company that started out as an app for kids to send pictures back and forth, and have them disappear after, is now valued at almost $20 billion. Remember when Facebook tried to buy them for $3 billion? (LOL)

Happy Valentine’s Day to everybody out there! It’s nice to actually see people on social media posting about happiness and love in their lives, instead of the usual political anger we’ve been seeing for about a year now. If people believed that everyday was Valentine’s Day, the world, or at least social media, would be a much happier place!

It’s a great feeling knowing that Spring Training has officially started for the MLB. Being a HUGE baseball fan, it’s my favorite time of the year. Optimism could not be higher for my favorite team, the New York Mets. Hopefully the Mets can stay healthy this year, and build off the signing of Yoenis Cespedes and the tremendous starting pitching. We’ll just have to wait and see!

Now we’re back to our regularly scheduled February weather here in New Jersey of below freezing temperatures. On the plus side, pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training in just a few days! The market continues to move sideways to (slightly) up over the first month plus of the year, despite what seems to be a crazy time if you strictly read headlines. The VIX has been very low recently, which is contrary to what some people might think.
