Enough holidays, back to the stock market grind🐾Meow Motto
Best of mornings,
A shorter stock market week for us all because of President’s Day Monday.
The current President is on a mission in Saudi Arabia trying to ignite a truce between Russia and Ukraine and put an end to the war.
President Trump is meeting with Russian officials, while Ukraine’s President Zelensky is meeting Turkish President Erdogan in Ankara.
Meanwhile here on home turf officials deny that Elon Musk is the main administrator of DOGE, even though he keeps being the face(all the TV interviews) and the voice(…non-stop X posts) of the unit.
He has been branded a “non career special government employee”. Special is the key word here.
Unemployment in DC nearly doubles due to all the recent DOGE slashing of government jobs.
Elon Musk has been ultra efficient, donating his time to the government as well as leading all his companies. He just unveiled Grok 3 - the smartest AI chatbot.
Give it a spin here!!! Have fun and don’t forget, you are not talking to a human!🤖
