      The “Year of Evangeline Adams” Continues 
  "...the S&P 500 has advanced more than 250% since the March 2009 panic bottom when it closed at 676.53 on the 9th of the month. Today, March 15, 2017, it closed at 2,385.26. The performance represents “a triple and then some” in the 8 years of this aging bull market. This is not performance on speculative small caps or risky biotechs, but on the largest companies in America. Please exercise prudence and care in all that you do." -- Brian Nelson, CFA Feb 4, 2017
