*The WA50 (Washington Index of 50 stocks) is a mathematical experiment of ours. We selected 50 Washington-based companies, weighted their various stock prices by market cap, and set their collective value at 2000.00 as of start of day January 1, 2017, in order to approximate general growth of publicly-traded Washington-based businesses. We are not a broker; this is not an ETF or a security, these price values are not live-streaming. We re-analyze the stock prices monthly. The performance of the WA50 basket of Washington stocks so far: start of year 2000.00, end of Jan 2027.86, end of Feb 2084.60, end of Mar 2092.38, end of Apr 2151.69, end of May 2162.25.
