Going into last week’s Congressional hearing with Robinhood, Reddit, and Citadel, I was expecting an episode from House of Cards. The suspense, the intrigue, the twists and turns. However, if you were watching, you’d know that it was, of course, none of that. For all the excitement around Gamestop and RoaringKitty, the Congressional hearing was
Good Afternoon, It has been a stormy week to say the least, and I am not only talking about the weather. Severe cold weather hit Texas leaving millions without power, the market traded lower with jobless claims, and former President Donald Trump was acquitted for the second time. This week, an “unprecedented” winter storm
My kids, like many their age, really love their video games. I don’t know when it really started, but their fondness for all things digital have grown during COVID. They love all types of games. My younger daughter still likes her silly Barbie and coloring games on the iPad. My son has taken more

I’m also going to apologize upfront for the short puns that may result in excessive eye rolling. But I’m a punny
Good Afternoon, It was a busy week in the news. California restaurants are reopening for outdoor dining, President Biden’s been signing executive orders, and the markets were driven by various factors.
