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. Investing during a times of crisis can mean starting a small position as a hedge against an extreme event. Case in point, some investors have turned to gold in recent weeks, as Russia's invasion of Ukraine is the classic example of a geopolitical risk that can be good for the price of the metal in the short-term. Others have gotten into Bitcoin, which promises a further disconnect from the current global financial system and fiat currencies in general today. These moves partially reflect the fear that the current market pullback could be the start of something bigger, potentially even the end of today's financial system. There's always some systemic risk in any system, especially one that needs a lot of top-down interventions by central banks or governments. Chances are the transition away from the status quo won't be as pronounced as many think. Be prepared for extreme events – but don't overprepare.

Many even started producing their own original content, and now top streaming companies are having their original productions nominated for –and winning—Oscars. But since Netflix (NFLX) proved it was a viable model, other media companies scrambled to create their own services leading to competition and slower growth. » FULL STORY Insider Trading Report: Agree Realty Corporation (ADC) Joey Agree, President and CEO of Agree Realty Corporation (ADC), recently picked up 1,560 shares.
