Good morning, investors. Below is a recent post from a newfound favourite newsletter of mine, MxtContext. MxtContext is an amazing newsletter focused on trading insights, market news, and macro breakdowns, written by a professional trader and money manager. As long-term individual stock investors, there's that one saying we all follow: Know what you own. In the same realm, knowing the market you're investing in is just as important.

I'd highly recommend subscribing. I believe you'll find the same value I did. Enjoy! -
