Investment Outlook

We are big Pete Alonso fans and purchased a couple of dozen rookie cards before the 2019 season. Not only do we think the “Polar Bear” will win multiple home run titles, maybe a league MVP at some point, but we also believe Alonso and Lindor could bring home the Mets fan a World Series sometime in the next 3 to 6 years.
