Happy New Year!

Happy New Year from Silicon Valley Publishing Company and Michael Gray, CPA.

With wars continuing in Ukraine and Gaza, it seems hard to celebrate.

Somehow, we have to get on with our lives here, while praying for peace and sending financial suppot for charities providing aid to refugees.

The economic news in the U.S. is actually pretty good.  Inflation seems to be calming down.  The Federal Reserve says it might lower the discount rate soon.  There are still opportunities to lock in higher interest rates for some investments.  The stock market finished strong for last year. 

Best wishes to you and your family for you to accomplish your dreams and to be safe in turbulent times.

Your CPA, enrolled agent, attorney and financial planner should be working with you to help you achieve your financial goals, but it's up to you to ask for that help.
