5 Things that Grabbed my Attention
1. For the next 2 years the debt ceiling in the US will be UNLIMITED.
2. Copper output from Codelco which is the world largest miner, has hit a 25 year low....One day COPPER will start going gangbusters. BUY WIRE.
3. The major shareholder in Lark (LRK) just picked up another 870K shares or $1.5 million worth on market....Follow the money: BUY
4. Market is pricing in a 65% chance that the FED increases rates next month by 0.25%.
5. UK PM Rishi Sunak is drawing up plans for supermarkets to put price caps on food....Insanity - caps lead to shortages.
