$Eli Lilly(LLY)$ As part of our ongoing investigation into congressional trading activity, the next company on our radar is one of America’s pharmaceutical crown jewels: Eli Lilly & Co. (NYSE: LLY). Now, if you've been tracking the healthcare sector even loosely over the last few years, you’ll know Eli Lilly isn’t just any drugmaker — this is a company at the forefront of a revolution in obesity, diabetes, and oncology treatment, and one that has outpaced nearly every peer in its class. But despite that strong long-term performance, members of Congress — those who often have early access to critical regulatory and legislative information — have been selling shares in Eli Lilly.

A colossal military parade is rolling into Washington, D.C. this Saturday to mark the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army—and it just so happens to fall on Donald Trump’s 79th birthday.

Trump’s reputation may be fading, but his die-hard supporters are still cheering—and some are even snapping up DJT stock as a birthday gift to their icon. So, let’s unpack this: Will the parade pump up Trump’s assets, or will it tank them? And what’s the right birthday greeting—Happy Burstday or Happy Worst Day? The $40 Million Spectacle: Patriotism or Politics? Picture this: tanks rumbling down Pennsylvan

$Moderna, Inc.(MRNA)$   is down 94% from ATH and is trading near cash! In this thread I'll tell you what's going on and why I own the stock.

While a series of negative events has occurred, there are nonetheless a few potential catalysts worth considering. The stock has lost approximately 94% of its value from the highs reached during the pandemic. Yet, the company has built a pipeline of 45 candidates, including 8 assets in Phase 3 and many more in Phase 2, investing over 20 billion dollars in research and development.

The parada is a thinly veil "threat",  since it is not done regularly.   Its a show of might to others watching - domestic and outside of US - defy me and I will crush you. Trump is known to contradict himself many times over, in the past & present, so there is no surprise there despite the hefty expenses, just forget about National Debt for now..
