Despite the surging COVID-19 pandemic and a potentially dangerous "contested" Presidential election, the S&P 500 has been relatively flat, up 0.32% since the last update:

On the jobs front, the unemployment rate for October fell to 6.9%, with 638,000 new jobs created. Unfortunately, we're still down ~10 million jobs since February. Oil prices are up slightly to the $42 level, which translates to a local regular unleaded gasoline price of $1.79 at my last fill-up.

On the financial front, my assets have once again hit an all-time high, surpassing the previous high from October 2020. To cap things off, I took another distribution from my S Corp and also made my 2020 Series I savings bond purchase.

As for the non-financial, it's all COVID, COVID, COVID from where I sit. We're seeing an all-time high in hospitalizations, which means we have an ugly winter ahead of us. Hopefully a new POTUS that will take this pandemic more seriously and the promise of an effective vaccine will help put this behind us sooner rather than later.
