Win of the day. Locked in a 2.875% 30 year mortgage rate to refinance our home. We locked our mortgage in 2019 for 3.875%. This will save us ~$150/month and ~$80k over the life of the loan. Might be worth looking into if you’re a homeowner!

Howard believes it is likely that the investment strategies that worked over the last 13 and 40 years likely won't be the ones that outperform in the years ahead. So the question investors should be asking themselves is how should they adjust their strategy given these changes?

The price you pay for a stock matters. If you bought the Nifty Fifty in 1969 and held until 1974, you were sitting on losses of more than 90% . . . from owning pieces of the best companies in America.
