2020 Pacific Life LIFEvest Program

As Meatloaf said, 2 out of 3 ain’t bad. With the elevation of CA to COVID purple status, Saturday was the last day on campus for the 2020 Pacific Life LIFEvest program. What a great group of 25!

As you can see, the UCI’s Center for Investment and Wealth Management worked hard to keep the students social distanced and safe.

CIWM looks forward to wrapping up the shortened 3 day program over Zoom this coming Saturday and returning to in person programing in the summer of 2021.

Thanks again to everyone involved for their support – stay safe and healthy!

COVID: Record High Hospitalizations

When I post COVID cases, many people ask if that is the right measure. Well, First comes Love (cases), then comes marriage (hospitalizations), then comes a baby in a baby carriage (deaths).

We hit a record high number of hospitalizations yesterday here in the US. Deaths have started to climb.

While we did get some good news from Pfizer about a vaccine coming, it’s still months away – probably February until the first people get their second dose.

In the mean time, it will be a long winter, likely with economic consequences.
