Submitted by Monument Group Wealth on July 18th, 2017

10/10/2016

Dear Clients and Friends,

The fourth quarter seemed to arrive even faster than usual this year. Perhaps it was the summer’s relative market calm. Despite the never-ending newsfeeds, global markets mostly worked through the white noise. We even celebrated a few milestones.

Warren Buffet - Economy and Markets and Politics

Submitted by Monument Group Wealth on April 20th, 2016

04/19/2016

Dear Clients and Friends,

Once a year, we make mention of Warren Buffett’s annual letter to shareholders due to our shared belief systems regarding disciplined investing.
