Where to Go When Everything Around You Is Irrational | Bitcoin has been on a roller coaster ride this week, peaking at $12,913 on Tuesday and then collapsing to $11,154 – a 13% drop – the next day. Markets took a different track, starting the week nervous and then recovering nicely into Friday. Rumor has it that markets loved the fake CNBC news earlier in the week, which incorrectly stated that the U.S. Treasury Secretary said this U.S.-China Trade deal IS almost complete. As it turns out, if anyone had bothered to listen to the recording in which Steve Mnuchin made his comment, they would have realized the media company's grammatical error. Still, even though the story has been set straight, markets seemed unwilling to let go of their buzz. Harry offered some insights into where markets could go next in his usual Friday video. He also considered the second wild card that has entered the picture recently, and how dangerous it really is. In other news, the Democratic debates began this week, and Rodney shared his thoughts on this phenomenon on Thursday. While painful to watch, it's important that we do so because there are many promises of free stuff being thrown around, and it's all going to cost you. None of it is rational, really.

 The Democratic debates are underway, so if you're a masochist with no hobbies, you now have something to watch at night. This isn't a knock on a particular political party. Watching the Democrats today is just as unenlightening and boring as watching the Republican debates in 2016. Moderators ask candidates questions and they fail to...
 We live in a world where we wake up to news (and a shocking image) of a drowned father and daughter on the banks of the Rio Grande and threats from North Koreans about not letting the U.S. "bring them to their knees." Tensions between the U.S. and Iran are rising all the while politicians...
 Late last week, on the first day of summer, I watched the news and weather for a few minutes before my morning run. It was 85 degrees with 97% humidity. It was 4:40am. The meteorologist said the "feel like" temperature was 99 degrees. I ran anyway. It was awful. Such is life on the Gulf...
