We all woke up this morning to the terrible news about Russia and the military invasion of neighboring Ukraine. While none of us knows for sure how things will play out, investors are understandably watching closely to see the impact of these events on an already volatile market. Global aggression is unsettling, no matter where you live, what you do, or how much you spend or save. And the potential for far-reaching and/or longterm effects can be especially worrisome for those who are following this breaking news. As always, though, you can count on us to pay focused attention to this crisis, continuously evaluating what it may mean for world markets as well as your personal investments.
