Hello, everybody, welcome to Wednesday. Today the market was down a little bit .2%. But we did pretty well today, actually. And one of the things that’s happening with our portfolios, we’ve been able to kind of round them out, they become much more robust. You know, we had to walk that tightrope from, you know, April through the end of the summer with just really technology and advanced health care. And we’ve been slowly been able to kind of broaden out. And it’s been an interesting process, but right now we kind of have something that’s working all the time.
So even though the market was down, you know, innovative technology was up 2.7%. Today, couple of clean energies were up 1.7%, online retail 1.5, et cetera. So we’ve got something that seems to be working each day. And so that rotation, so even the market was down today, I think we did fairly well. But I did want to talk a little bit, this is the day before Thanksgiving. And you know, we’ve been really, really fortunate I’ve met with almost all of you, you know, this year, talking about different things within your you know, your lives, and people are doing quite well within our clientele. And I was looking at the accounts today. And we’ve made like over $25 million of gains, you know, so far this year, of which about $10 million over what the market would have made. This is one of the most spectacular years that I’ve ever experienced. As far as that goes yet.
At the same time, I’m reading about people that are you know, standing in line for food, and different things that are happening, listening to you know, the pieces about what’s going on with pandemic, you know, how much spike they’re having in the hospitals filling up. So I do feel like, you know, this is a year to give, really, and I’m very proud of the clients as a whole that you guys all give, it’s fantastic. This might be year to give more. For me personally, I see food as a real basic concept that needs to be dealt with. So I like the Second Harvest Food Bank, you know, we’re gonna donate more than normal to that. And so, you know, just not everybody’s in the same boat. Not everybody’s got the same fortune that we do for this year. So, really thankful for all of you as clients and I look forward to talking to you again on Friday. Thank you.
