What's up, Apes?

Hope everybody is having a spectacular Monday and had a wonderful start for the week.

We certainly know that artificial intelligence companies did after the performance

those stocks put up yesterday. There was a slew of announcements over the weekend from AI companies as well. We'll be diving into all of that, making sure that you guys are staying up to date on the most important emerging industry in the entire world right now. We'll be diving into that in just a quick second. Then of course we got some major stock movers of the day. Some were looking pretty good like those artificial intelligence companies and then of course we have some absolute pathetic embarrassments like names like

fisker which might have just had the final nail put in the coffin we'll be talking about that in

But, you know, we did just place a recent trade, actually.

So definitely

go ahead and check out the portfolio at WSO Alpha, if you want to stay up to date with all of our

trades, gambles, wild speculations going forward. But when I see barbell strategy, you know, we have a large
