Hello everyone,
Hope you all had a terrific weekend and make the most of the final few days of January. Can’t believe it’s already February next week.
A busy earnings week is coming up. Tesla, Microsoft, and Boeing have their numbers out this week. Maybe good news here will kick the market higher. And we also have the Fed policy meeting next week. The consensus seems to be a 0.25 or 0.50% interest rate move. We shall see.
Has anyone seen ‘Avatar: The Way of Water’? It’s become the third James Cameron movie to gross $2 billion. It doesn’t appeal to everyone. Not my cup of tea. All the technology seems to be the big drawcard and the storyline, which paints the U.S. military in a poor light.
Another mass shooting in the U.S. This time in Monterey Park in Los Angeles. 10 people lost their lives, and the gunmen killed himself as well. Before anything is ever done about guns in America, a lot of people will have to die. But mentally ill people having access to guns is extreme, to say the least.
And something else that is utterly outrageous is the fact that women do not have control over their own bodies. There are some states in the U.S. that ban women from having abortions even though their own life may be in danger. There are other states that ban women from having an abortion if the baby is deformed in any way or if the baby is the result of rape or incest. Women are very much controlled by the political system, which won’t be changing in a hurry in the near future.
Fingers crossed that the earnings this week are good.
Have a great week.
P.S. It is John’s birthday on Thursday, 26th January (Australia Day). 71 years young. Drop him a line and wish him well. He would appreciate it.
Cheers,
Jacque
