Today we celebrate the birthday of not one, but two amazing women in science! 🤗🎉Marie Skłodowska-Curie (1867), who discovered #radium & #polonium & pioneered #radioactivity, & Lise Meitner (1878), whose brilliance uncovered the physics behind #nuclearfission. Happy birthday!

In 2000, the S&P 500 had an elevated trailing P/E of 26, well above its long-term avg. of 14. For the next 11 years, the S&P 500 delivered zero returns! The current S&P 500 trailing P/E is 30 – even higher than 2000. History rhymes. For standardized performance visit our website.
