It’s hard to believe it’s already August, but here we are! Here’s to hoping that August can repeat some of the performance we saw in July. NASD was +6.6%, SPX +3.56%, and DJIA +2.8%. Not too shabby for a year that has certainly had its fair share of ups and downs.

Here’s what I’ve been reading this morning:
