I apologize but there will be no Market Updates nor Money Minute this week. I've been under the weather all week and unable to sit down long enough to read and put together a coherent sentence. Even as I type this, I'm fighting not coughing up my guts. I decided to take a break from the news to provide a bit of rest for my mind.
What a week to take a break too:
April was the worst month for the Stock Market in a while. The S&P 500 fell 5%.
Amazon & Apple reported and apparently saved the markets from what I hear.
Jerome Powell decided to have pity on the souls of investors and said nothing about raising rates after inflation looked like it was running hot.
Grandpa Buffet held his first annual shareholder meeting without Charlie Munger. I gotta go to Omaha for the meeting one year
Premier League is quickly coming to a close
I need Arsenal not to Eff this up and lose the title race.
Man City holds all the cards but I'm hoping Arsenal can make a claim. We cannot have Man City with another title.
Man U is somehow in 6th and could push for 4th. I guess the saying is true, you don't have to be good. You just have to be a bit better than others.
However this time is still a disaster waiting to happen. Oh wait the disaster just keeps repeating itself.
Real Madrid basically has the La Liga title cliched.
Champions League Semi Finals were everything we wanted and more at least the Real Madrid v Bayern match.
NBA Playoffs are in full swing
Can't believe Suns got swept by Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves
Grandpa LeBron can finally rest after getting gentleman swept by the Nuggets
Knicks are looking very lively. After evicting Embiid and the Sixers from the playoffs again.
Kyrie is one bad mother-shut-yo-mouth.
Bucks are trash without Giannis. I cannot believe how bad this team was this year.
Giannis did all he could and got hurt for his hard work. It's incredible how letting Kris Holiday go has completely decimated the team.
Sidenote: we need to put respect on Lebron's name. LeBron made us all believe that any great player should be able to carry their team to the finals year over year even if they aren't great players. Because he made it look so easy. We are seeing with Giannis and Embiid that ain't the case. LeBron is SPECIAL!!
Loving this new batch of young stars starting to make their mark in the game
SGA for Thunder
Haliburton for Pacers
Ant for Timberwolves
These guys are gonna be fun to watch for years to come.
Biggest learning this week: REST!!!!!
Listen to your body and when it starts showing signs that it needs you to chill. Do what it says otherwise if.you keep pushing, things just get way worse than they needed to be.
Key lesson is to build in a weekly rhythm of rest. If God, the Creator of the universe, rested for a day, how much more my feeble human self?
Don't be like me, who ignored his body’s warnings and kept pushing. Now I regret it cause here I am lying down trying not to cough up my guts and having to take medicine when usually my body can heal itself. 😔 😮💨
Anyway, thank y'all for reading my ramblings. Hopefully, I'll be back to normal schedule next week. Until then remember
Generosity>greed
God Bless You
