SpaceX is on an incredible roll. On Tuesday it launched the military’s newest, most accurate GPS satellite after a two-month delay due to the pandemic. A Falcon 9 rocket blasted off from Florida’s Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, carrying the GPS satellite to orbit. The brand new first-stage booster with nine rocket engines landed perfectly on an ocean platform several minutes later. It will be recycled for future use. A feat many thought was impossible.
If you want to make a difference in Black education, you can donate to benefit the Thurgood Marshall College Fund, Inc.

As of Thursday’s close, market capitalization of all the stocks I have been reporting on had nice gains. Zoom reached a market cap of $74 billion. Apple continues to set records. If you didn’t watch last Monday’s keynote about Apple’s plans for the rest of the year, I highly recommend it. Watch it here.
The five giant tech company market caps marched on and gained more than $300 billion and now represent 25% of the market cap of the U.S. S&P 500. Mind boggling. Congress is on their trail and hearings will start very soon.
Note: My father gave me the following investment advice many years ago, “Don’t give any and don’t take any.” Wise man. I am not recommending buying or selling any of the stocks, crypto, or indexes I comment on.
