At the end of January financial markets recorded a
momentous event: the Dow Jones Industrial Average
set a new record, hitting 20,000 points for the first
time in history. After that, it continued to
climb, shattering record after record.
At the beginning of March, it broke
21,000 points. Meanwhile, the NASDAQ
and S&P 500 have been on the rise as well,
setting and breaking their own records over the
last few months.

confidence in the markets, and that it’s a sign of financial
prosperity ahead.
