Plus: US banks stuck in a doom loop

Good Morning!

This Friday, we're diving into the chaotic world of US regional banks and their uncanny knack for getting caught in the dreaded "doom loop". Next up, we'll be donning our Sherlock Holmes hats, probing the mysterious world of investments to find out which ones come with the least amount of risk (Spoilers: It's not betting on your cousin's start-up).

We've also got our eyes set on a couple of stocks, AT&T and Intel, that are looking like they're ready to make some serious noise in the next decade. And finally, we'll be pulling apart the jigsaw puzzle of diversification, explaining why it's not just about picking random stocks, but about getting your financial eggs in various geographic baskets.

Grab your venti iced, skinny, hazelnut macchiato, extra-shot, light ice, no-whip and let’s get into it ☕️👇️

What Diversifying Your Investments Means, and Why It's Important (5 minute read)
Diversification is one of those investment terms that gets tossed around a lot, but not everyone really gets it. Some folks think that if they just grab ten random stocks, they're good to go.
