Hi Wealth Builders! 👋

The markets had another good week with the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow advancing 0.4%, 0.1%, and 0.3% respectively. This was mainly driven by the threshold where S&P broke 20% above the recent Q4 lows (indicating potential a new bull market) and optimism that consumer spending can more than offset future impacts of rate hikes. I'm cautiously optimistic of what the Fed will decide in the next meeting but am long term bullish in our macro-economy overall.

Keep in mind that AMZN may be higher risk since it doesn't pay a dividend. Overall I like the momentum we've been seeing in AMZN over the past 6 weeks (breaking $121.55 threshold 2 weeks ago and breaking but not holding above $124.95 for the past two consecutive weeks). Always do your homework and invest to your appropriate risk tolerance!
