MARKET COMMENTARY
Last quarter, we closed our Market Commentary with a timely piece of advice: don't let a rising market lull you into complacency. Since then, we've seen a sharp spike in price volatility. No longer groggy from their winter naps, market bears are alive and hungry. The meal du jour has been the euro, which has fallen nearly 10% since the end of March. European sovereign debt woes have weighed heavily on most asset classes, prompting broad indiscriminate risk reduction worldwide.

WASHINGTON WEEK
At long last it appears that financial reform is on the horizon. On the last day of the quarter, the House passed reform legislation by a vote of 237-192. While it is not a sure thing that the House version will pass the Senate, it is highly likely that the Senate will pass some version of the bill this summer. Much of the bill involves oversight designed to prevent the financial free-for-all that lead to the structural challenges we are now experiencing.
