A Ten-Year Performance Current
For the 10th anniversary issue of Morningstar Magazine, I worked with designer Zach Sherwood to implement a 10-year version of my Performance Current concept that highlights the best-performing areas of the U.S. stock market over 40 quarters from 2007 to 2017:

This visualization extends across five pages, so click through to the magazine to see the full article. You can also download a PDF of the entire issue.



Throughout my career at Morningstar, the Chicago-based investment research firm, I've used creative language and visual elements to explain complex investment information and ideas. This is a personal site--all opinions expressed here are my own.
