The S&P 500 has pulled back a bit, falling 1.97% (+6.16% YTD) since the last update:

On the jobs front, the monthly employment rate for May remained at 4.3%, again beating expectations with 172,000 new jobs created. Oil prices are fell to the $91 level (down 11% from $101), with that price reflected in a local unleaded regular gasoline price of $3.79 (down from $4.30) at my last fill-up. We also had a bad inflation report yesterday with a 4.2% annual CPI reported (a 3 year high), which resulted in a "I love the inflation!" comment from our President. Let's just say that I believe Series I savings bonds will see increased demand in Q42026.

On the financial front, I again skipped my usual Fidelity 401k transaction (FSKAX) and Vanguard VTI purchase in my taxable brokerage account because I am not comfortable adding to our equity holdings at this time. I did take an S Corp distribution and my T-Bill holdings automatically rolled into new ones: 13 week 3.694% -> 3.714%, 4 week 3.655% -> 3.665%, and 8 week 3.645% -> 3.681%. I also participated in the 20 year Treasury Bond auction last month (CUSIP 912810UV8 : 5.00% coupon, yield 5.122% to maturity) to add to the fixed income holdings in my work retirement plan. It's also time to start the 2026 529->Roth IRA rollovers for my children, but the process can be a bit slow since Fidelity has to physically mail a check to Vanguard to complete the process.

As for the non-financial, the school year is almost over and we finally completed the small home improvement project that began months ago. I'm ready for summer and can't help but think about retirement being on the horizon in the next few years.
