It's the monthly jobs numbers today and they're not going to be pretty and will be possibly the tip of the iceberg as we head into May.

Good morning. The term "unicorn" was created to describe startup companies that had a valuation of over $1 billion based on their latest round of funding. The notion was that such a company should be rare, as at that size it would make sense to take a company public. Yet today there are hundreds of unicorns. The rare species has become a herd. And none is bigger than SpaceX, the space exploration company run by Elon Musk.

Today's TOP TIPS Improving Guidance May Send This Sector Back Toward a High Most companies are having a solid year, even when comparing their sales and earnings to post-pandemic quarters. However, a few sectors haven't fared too well in recent months and have missed out on most of 2021's gains. One such area is with pot stocks.

In some parts of Europe, the cost has been the equivalent of $200 per barrel of oil.
