It's SXSW week here in ATX. Well actually, it's now a two week event, but the point is that tens of thousands of visitors are descending on our city for conferences, trade shows, festivals, or just to party. Thankfully, local schools sync their Spring Break calendars to allow us locals a convenient excuse to avoid the crowds and get out of town.

The Accountable Update is taking its own Spring Break as we will spend the next week visiting some colleges on my son's short list. To fill some of the gap, I've included a short article by DFA's Jim Parker titled Investment Shock Absorbers. 

If you're heading to SXSW, have a great time. If you're heading out of town, safe travels. No matter what you're plans, have a great Spring Break!
