In the face of a Federal Reserve tightening campaign and a regional bank run, markets proved more buoyant than many investors thought possible. 

However, all stocks weren't created equal last quarter. The broad S&P 500 rose 7% in the first quarter, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average added just 0.4%. The technology-heavy NASDAQ index, on the other hand, jumped 17%.

Bond prices also climbed as the 10-year U.S. Treasury note yield fell to 3.5% from 3.8% during the quarter.

• Broad Market (S&P 500):  +7.5% 1Q  |  -7.8% last 12 months
• Small Companies (Russell 2000):  +2.7% 1Q  |  -11.6% last 12 months
• International Stocks (EAFE):  +8.6% 1Q  |  -0.9% last 12 months
• Emerging Markets (MSCI EM):  +4.0 1Q  |  -10.3% last 12 months
• Bonds (Barclays Agg): +3.0% 1Q  |  -4.8% last 12 months

Personal video statements will begin going out next week.

Your Life

I consider myself an extroverted introvert, meaning I am an introvert at heart, but I can temporarily become an extrovert when needed. I am drawn most to my introverted side, and it requires me to recharge and be most productive in my alone time. The extroverted side allows me to weave in and out of group situations successfully. Knowing where you are on the introvert-extrovert scale is important so you know how to optimize your self-care and manage your energy. It can also help you determine jobs that might suit you better. Here are traits to see if you are introverted.
