| | ๐ฐ Market Headlines | Markets ended higher ahead of some key data today and tomorrow. Happy CPI Day to those who celebrate. Oil prices dropped around 2% yesterday before recovering most of their losses this morning. Five masked gunmen have boarded a crude oil tanker.

| | Tequila is so hot right now. | | The most valuable journey youโll take this year. | Tequila is the most popular spirit in the US, and itโs only getting more popular among savvy drinkers and investors. | I donโt talk about it here at Stocks & Income, but I run a fund focussing on alternative assets. | In October 2022, we bought six casks of 200L tequila for $25k. Today, theyโre worth $48k. Thatโs a 92% jump in about 15 months. | Itโs an underappreciated and still undervalued investment opportunity that intuitively makes sense, and we want to share the knowledge and opportunity with our community. | I want to invite you to our first-ever Investor Field Trip to Mexico, Feb 19 - 23. | This is a unique, all-inclusive adventure for serious investors. | Hear from experts in Mexican tequila, real estate, venture capital, startups, and infrastructure Meet CEOs, VCs, investors, fund managers, and other VIPs See world-famous tequila distilleries, art museums, and more Taste the world's finest tequila, agave, and mezcal Connect with Alts community members from around the globe | โLearn more here. |
