King Charles will attend a prayer service with Pope Leo in the Sistine Chapel next week. Charles has met various Popes but this is the first time a British monarch has ever attended a prayer service. Charles has an American DIL, 2 American grandkids and is now praying with an American Pope. Lol.

If only you had watched this Market Edge Podcast 8 months ago where Neena and I talked about how to invest in gold. #gold youtu.be/Sz_Mp__H32s?...

Fyi. Check it out.

Tariffs and weather are hitting the farmers.

So some will get money and others will not.

You don't say.

Extremely complacent. Stock market didn't even react to Jefferies saying it was fine over the weekend. It was wild they even had to say something.

Yikes. Yes, consumers are noticing.

Hooray. It's so important to lump the two together.

👀

They aren't all going to make it. If people thought it was bad when petsdotcom and webvan went under, just wait until one of these big guys does.

FYI.

Red hot.

JB Hunt tonight. Trucking. It missed last quarter. Earnings outlook isn't good. #JBHT

I thought the US was putting on 100% tariffs on top of the 30% tariffs if they impose new export controls?

😂Once a White Sox fan, always a White Sox fan.

Wonder what is going to happen in the US in a few years as 23% cut to Social Security benefits looms?

This Week's 5 Important Earnings Charts No, it's not the big banks. Think railroads, semiconductors, energy. www.zacks.com/stock/news/2...

Once had 50 employees. After the audit, now has 16. But the question is, will she be able to replace all of those lost?

I expect 4% next year.

Bloom is off the rose?

IKEA?

I thought foreign countries were paying for the tariffs?

I guess the latest "discussions" aren't going to well with China.

Important to read this great investigation.

Not this stupidity again. Medicaid is insurance for the poor. You can be young and able-bodied and still need to be on it.

In the last gold cycle, this was also popular. Lol.

Consumers aren't giving up their cruises. Booking on a strong pace for 2026 and 2027. Had another record quarter. Cruises are a value compared to other travel. Bull of the Day: Carnival #CCL www.zacks.com/commentary/2...

Given what we saw in Paradise, a 10 year time frame isn't unrealistic. I'm sorry for all the locals. It's going to be a LONG recovery. Ugh.

Art of the deal. It turns out Xi is better at it than Donald.

Stock futures are up tonight as it seems like the 100% tariffs on China won't likely happen after all.

If you want to know what is really happening in the US/China trade war, listen to what the Chinese are actually saying and not what President Trump is tweeting on Truth Social. They are not playing games and seem to hold a bunch of the cards.

Fyi.

Biggest question about Trump's 100% tariff on China is whether they will quickly "negotiate." In April they did. But they have now had months to get ready. Seems likely they will respond like Brazil and do nothing. That means the tariffs go on on Nov 1.

Fyi.

I loved this movie. Go see it. I've seen it twice.

As an Illinoisan, one of the world's largest soybean producers, this is heartbreaking. I stand with our farmers.

Going to have to train some young people. Few experts remain in it.

Check it out.

Alert!

This is my biggest fear. They so dominate the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq, or tech funds, that "everyone" owns those 7 to 10 stocks. And when they sell-off, "everyone" is going to see their portfolios tank badly. There will be few who escape.

FYI.

FYI.

FYI.

The economy cannot be sustained by the wealthy. There aren't enough of them.

McCormick in the morning. Has beat 3 out of the last 4 quarters. Yes, this is the spice and flavoring company. Watch for tariff impacts, commodities questions and consumer behavior. #MKC

This is happening this weekend in Chicago. Such a wonderful event. Please go out to support the runners.

Shopify nearly at a round trip from the 2021 high and 2022 sell-off. Forward P/E is now 110. P/S ratio of 20.9. Nothing to see here. #SHOP

Institutions are always the first to get in. But mom and pops don't care one bit about gold.

Interesting chart of retirement assets I saw on the other site. It reflects the power of compounding over the last 25 years. And a secular bull stock market since 2013.
