Quit Worrying
Friday Market Close…
It’s easy for a lot of us to get trapped in time-pockets of perpetual worrying
Worrying that you’re not gonna make it
Worrying you can’t pay your rent
Worrying you said something dumb
Worrying she’s going to reject you
It’s all apart of the human experience but I’m here to tell you nothing will hold you back more than operating from a place of being perpetually worried
Best thing you can do is give all your worries to God
Let them just fall off your shoulders, carelessly
Feel the 1,000 pound weight of it leaving your neck and traps
The pure clarity and vividness of life starts to creep in where anxiety used to fester
You’re starting to feel like your ancestors once felt
Where the only worry of the day was what are we eating tonight
And there was no time to get lost in thought over it because it required immediate action and focus
So the message here today is…
Surrender your worries to God. Let him do what he does best
Harness the awareness that you’re fully fucking alive and capable
And go do what you gotta do

U.S. Stocks Close Another Winning Week
U.S. stocks are hanging near record heights today, on track to close another winning week in their stunning rally since Halloween.
Big Tech stocks were doing most of the market’s heavy lifting this week, as they’ve been for more than a year, in part on mania around artificial-intelligence technology. Nvidia, Microsoft and Amazon were three of the strongest forces lifting the S&P 500 today after each rose at least 1%.
Nvidia
Nvidia Is Now Worth As Much As The Entire Chinese Market
This week Nvidia reached a market cap of $1.7 trillion. This is the same as all the Chinese companies listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange.
This valuation is also greater than the S&P 500’s entire energy sector which include the likes of Chevron ($CVX) and Exxon Mobil ($XOM).
Nvidia only hit a $1 trillion market cap at the end of May last year. The growth has been fucking nuts. The stock itself is up over 239% in the last year. Fucking crazy number, props to the guys over at Nvidia.
Politics
Is Biden Losing the Plot?
It’s getting fucking embarrassing now.
Special counsel Robert Hur wrote a report on Biden’s handling of classified documents which described Biden’s memory as ‘poor’.
Unfortunately for the President, this has been backed up by a string of shitshows this week. On Monday, he mixed up President Macron of France with former French President Mitterand who died in 1996. Then, on Wednesday, he mixed up the former chancellors of Germany Angela Merkel and Helmut Kohl.
The White House has denied these “gratuitous remarks” about Biden.
This is the guy leading the most powerful country in the world, he’s starting to take the piss now.
Thank you
That’s all Lads,
It’s the weekend. That means it’s time to get hammered. Time to ask out that girl. Time to stop worrying. Everything you do this weekend, leave it to God. It’s in His hands now.
With that being said, don’t worry about your portfolio, tell your mum you love her, and have a fucking blast. It’s been one hell of a week.
Cheers fellas,
