Thanks for taking some time to open our newsletter. I hope life and money are treating you well.

Fun Fact: Did you know as of June 9, 2016, the ongoing bull market for the S&P 500 will be 87 months old? It's just the 2nd bull market since 1950 to last that long (according to BTN research).

Please enjoy the newsletter. Is there anything you would like to see here? Drop me a line (reply to this email) and I'll see what I can do.

According to the Federal Trade Commission, in 2010, the number of electronic devices like laptops, smart phones, appliances, etc,, that are "online" was more than the world's population. Even more devices are connected now, and it doesn't seem to be slowing down. In just the next 4 years, the FTC expects that 50 billion devices and objects will be "connected online."  I'm not sure how many devices I will personally own that will be connected by then, but I'll have my share. Just as a point of reference, the globe's population is now 7.3 billion. 

That reminds me, have you connected with us on Facebook?
