๐Ÿ“ˆ US Markets Are CLOSED

Plus: Shares Fall In Europe

Good Morning!

First up, itโ€™s Martin Luther King Day - thanks to the U.S. markets taking a well-deserved nap, we've got some extra time to muse over our investment strategies (or just enjoy a lazy day, no judgment here!).

Last week, Microsoft briefly snagged the crown as the World's Most Valuable Company, overtaking Apple with a dazzling $2.87 trillion market cap!

Want to start 2024 with a bang? Let's channel our inner Warren Buffett. Imagine turning a humble $200 per month into a jaw-dropping $76,000. Sounds like a fairy tale, but in the world of index funds, it's just another day at the office. We'll show you how to play it smart with a Buffett-approved strategy.
