No doubt! They probably had many study groups at fancy offsite hotels to discuss the options too.

Here is an interesting chart for the markets showing how they are just breaking above their 2018 highs. (From facebook.com )

Note how this chart shows performance for 2018 through 4/30/19 which puts the huge "snap back" gains this year in a better perspective.

My calculation on my newsletter return page shows 7.2% APR for the S&P 500.

Despite a down 2018, it is up ~ 32% in the 2.33 years since 1/1/17...

Remind me again what happened in 2017 for this?
