I know this reminds me of something, but I can not see it. It’s probably reich in front of me.

Here’s a question I want to see on President Trump’s next dementia test. Can you identify the transistor?

Over the past year, the main Canadian index for companies listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (S&P/TSX Composite) has nearly tripled the performance of the S&P 500. So, add Canada to the growing list of countries whose markets are outperforming the U.S.

I can’t help but imagine this is what political rhetoric in Europe looked like in 1939—before people fully grasped where it was heading.

The crude oil market just opened for the first time since Friday. Prices are up across the board, but not enormously so.

I asked four different AIs to rank the five most corrupt presidents in U.S. history. All four named the same five (4 of 5 were Republicans). Donald Trump was on every list. I think Trump will eventually end up at the top of this list, but here's how Microsoft CoPilot ranked them.

Remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Here I am laying a rose at the grave of Basil Shirley, who is buried at the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial.

Tesla stock is perhaps more disconnected from fundamentals than any other company. Despite this news, Musk said, "I am coming back next month" and investors bid up shares after hours. He just says stuff, and shares rise.

When I ask people to guess the top-performer sectors over the past five years, 1). They usually get it wrong, and 2). They vastly underestimate the performance. I updated 5-year performance through today.

Five-year performance of every S&P 500 sector.

I am in Ireland right now. For the MAGAs who think Trump is feared and respected around the world, this was in today's Sunday paper over here.

A note on the "invalid handle" stuff. It's a bug. They suggested a fix, but this didn't work for me. It never gives an option to "Verify DNS Record." Hopefully, they get this fixed soon.
