Many of you are aware that account aggregation, the tool that allows you to link outside financial accounts with Investor360, can be a very helpful tool. We are happy to announce that in early May, a new aggregation application will replace Plaid. We are confident this will be an upgrade over the current option. We will provide more information and instructions soon.

If you live in Gainesville, or want to take a road trip, you can see Joe Jr’s kids Joseph and Millie in Buchholz High School’s production of Into the Woods. Joseph is portraying Cinderella’s prince and Millie is the understudy for the witch (performing the role on May 3). More information is here. More indications that the demise of the dollar as the world’s predominant reserve currency has been exaggerated. Earth Day was last Saturday, April 22nd. We were reminded of how the Acid Rain issue was tackled with much success as a bipartisan and bilateral issue between the United States and Canada. We think the move away from nuclear power is a huge mistake. How safe are modern nuclear reactors? For Oklo’s Aurora reactor, a worst-case accident—defined by current NRC policy as the worst possible accident with a chance of happening once every 100,000 operating years—would result in a radiation dose to people living in the vicinity of the plant equivalent to about one-fifth of what one could get from a CT scan. May 2nd is Gladys Lowry’s birthday, and we couldn’t let it pass without mentioning her and what an important person she is to us! Happy birthday Gladys (Mom)!
