Happy Saturday!

Here's a quick update on the economy and stock market: The US stock market saw significant gains this week, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average rising 5.0%, the S&P 500 increasing by 5.7%, and the Nasdaq Composite surging 7.3%. I think we all know this was from Tariff pauses and the trade policy yo-yo that’s going on. Despite the gains, there’s underlying economic anxiety due to consumer sentiment and stress in credit markets. Lots of anxiety, and that’s what I’ll try to cover in this week’s video.

On a personal note, my family and I are in the process of selling our house and moving. For that reason, I’ve been behind on my newsletter, but I have been keeping consistent with my videos. Just know that I’m a bit behind at the moment.

🍺 Happy Hour - I have 3 slots open for the viewer happy hour for tonight at 7 PM (CST). If you want to join in, just respond to this newsletter and I’ll invite the first 3. I’ll send you a meeting invite, and I’ll see you then.

Thanks,

Brian

👍 Next Week’s Video: Investing During a Recession. I cover the top sectors, stocks, and ETFs that have been the most resilient during past recessions.

👍 We started watching The Residence on Netflix, and I’m enjoying it. It’s witty, great cast, and I haven’t solved it yet. So it’s keeping me engaged.

👍 Here’s the link to the Quantum company research that I had created so I could better speak to the quantum landscape in my recent video below.

👍 I will update my portfolio for the next newsletter. I’m behind with moving.
