On the heels of a new POTUS taking office and a $1.9 trillion Covid-19 economic package being proposed, the S&P 500 has continued to rise, up 2.90% since the last update:

On the jobs front, the unemployment rate for January fell to 6.3%, with an anemic 49,000 jobs added last month. Oil prices continued rising to the $58 level, which translates to a local regular unleaded gasoline price of $2.29 at my last fill-up.

On the financial front, my assets have once again hit an all-time high, surpassing the previous high from January 2021. I'm also sad to say that my Penfed 5% APY 10 year CD finally matured with no compelling replacements in sight. I did finalized my final 2020 solo 401k retirement plan contribution now that my S Corp tax returns are done and have started work on my 2020 personal returns and Roth IRA contribution.

As for the non-financial, seeing elderly relatives get their first doses of COVID-19 vaccines has been wonderful. I look forward to the day when anyone who wants to be vaccinated can do so with ease and am hopeful that we'll see some semblance of normalcy before the end of 2021.
