STOCKS
The U.S. Market- 9.1% inflation is the talk of the town. The fear of a recession is still in the air but the market is holding on tight. It’s been a “hill and gully ride” for many investors.
Elon wants out of the deal to buy Twitter. I think Twitter would be better off without Elon.
Apple stock is making a comeback. It’s been trading in the low $130s but as of today, it’s over $154.
Snapchat is down by more than 38% since yesterday, as earnings were less than estimated.
Jamaican Market- There have been some hints of some upcoming IPO on the JSE. IPOs have been the way for many investors and speculators to make an easy 50% or more return. While we wait, here are some updates that you should know.
TRICK
Here’s something for coffee lovers. I used to be able to toss all my ingredients in the cup and get a perfect cup of coffee, but now that’s not the case. I find that it curdles, for whatever reason. So my technique now is to pour 1/4 cup of hot water, add creamer and mix, add sugar + salt and mix, (also a little vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg) then I add the coffee and mix.
Once that’s smooth I add the rest of the hot water and get a nice cup of coffee. You can do the same if brewing, just use the brewed coffee instead of hot water.
OLD
We’ve come a long way since the first iPhone was released, 5,501 days to be exact, or 15 years. It was a game changer. I was fascinated with the idea of having an app to see the stock market. As we prepare for the release of the iPhone 14, what did you like most about the first iPhone?
NEW
Jessica Watkins will be the first woman and person of color to make the journey to the moon. Other women have traveled to space but not the moon. The Artemis program launch is on track for August 29th, NASA’s first moon trip in 50 years. The SLS rocket stands at 322 feet (taller than the Statue of Liberty and weighs over 5 million pounds). If you want to track this journey, visit NASA.
ENTERTAINING
Have you seen The Lincoln Lawyer on Netflix? I just started watching it this week and it’s great so far. One season out and Netflix has announced that season two is coming. Here’s the trailer if you haven’t seen it yet.
You either love cheesecake or you hate it. I love it. My favorite so far is the coconut cream pie from The Cheesecake Factory.
That’s it for this week, see you next week. God’s will.
