Good morning. Stocks are off to a strong year. And despite the seasonal likelihood of a market decline, so far stocks have held strong in the past few weeks. However, there's one trend that isn't looking strong. And it's big enough to upend the economy. That trend is government spending.

And with interest rates rising, the government is on track to spend about $900 billion on interest payments on our $31 trillion in debt payments alone. Some see a $1 trillion annual debt payment as a point of no return for the economy with spending moving out of control.

Today's TOP TIPS Brands Continue to Reward Patient Investors In a bull market, investors want what's going up. But fast-moving stocks can also quickly move down in a bear market. However, companies that have built strong brands tend to mostly just go up over time, even if the gains are more slow-and-steady. That's why investors should consider strong brands as part of their portfolios. Especially when companies with strong brands are able to beat on earnings and raise estimates in uncertain times. » FULL STORY Insider Activity Report: Asana (ASAN) Dustin Moskovitz, President and CEO at Asana (ASAN), recently bought 160,000 shares.
