 Observations:

  The Eurozone and British Pound continue to slide over uncertainty whether the UK can become an independent country and their competitiveness over the USA and China.  Eurozone is submerged into politicking and sanctions rather than building a strong economy. This explains that Eurozone grew 7%, while the SP500 by 15% over last 12 months.

I will happy to pass $500K mark for my largely passive portfolio now. I will keep adding $11 K a year until salary will go up. I will add any windfall towards it.
