I see Rivian vehicles every day, both in the form of cool-looking trucks as well as shiny new Amazon vans. I’ve always thought they looked sharp, and Tesla has quite clearly turned its back on this entire sector.

Good morning, everyone. Well, this promises to be an interesting week. Tons of economic data and even more tons of earnings reports.
Of course, given 2023’s legacy, we approach the new week with all green equity futures. Just about the only red on anyone’s screen isn’t even related to equities, but crypto.
