When you need to decide whether to invest in A, B or C, remember that you always have the choice of investing in none.

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.

The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.

We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms.

Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.

Canada's boreal forest is roughly the size of Europe (or 4.5x the size of Texas). Most fires are in remote areas far from habitation in that have never had a history of fire suppression or management.

And the amount that is burning is directly linked to temperature and rainfall.

The Blindsight device from Neuralink will enable even those who have lost both eyes and their optic nerve to see.

Provided the visual cortex is intact, it will even enable those who have been blind from birth to see for the first time.

To set expectations correctly, the vision will be at first be low resolution, like Atari graphics, but eventually it has the potential be better than natural vision and enable you to see in infrared, ultraviolet or even radar wavelengths, like Geordi La Forge.

Much appreciated, @US_FDA!

Looking for signals. Be observant. Signals tell you where to invest and what changes you need in your current business.

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

Shocking stat of the day:

$2.1 TRILLION of excess savings have been wiped out of the US economy since August 2021.

From March 2020 until August 2021, $2.1 trillion in excess savings were built up after $4 trillion of stimulus.

Since then, US households have depleted these savings at a pace of ~$70 billion per month down to a -$72 billion in March 2024.

At the same time, US credit card debt has risen by $330 billion to a record $1.1 trillion.

Meanwhile, savings rates in the US declined from 3.5% in February to 3.2% in March, the lowest since November 2022.

Savings are now considered a luxury.
