Financial Markets: Despite recent pullbacks, the S&P 500 is nearly ten times higher than it was 15 years ago. Lending Markets: A 40-year decline in ten-year Treasury yields has provided consistent access to capital at low interest rates. It’s important to be grateful for both the past and present, while staying mindful of the future. While challenges are inevitable, disciplined investment strategies will be key to navigating uncertain times ahead.
