As of Friday’s close, market capitalization of all the stocks I have been reporting on had incredible gains, except Boeing which pulled back a bit. Zoom zoomed to a market cap of $78 billion. Royal Caribbean had a 10% rise after acquiring the rest of SilverSea, my favorite cruise line. Tesla gained another 10% and rose to above $1,500 to a market cap of $287 billion and worth more than a bunch of the largest car makers in the world combined (the chart to the left is a week or two old). Tesla may see some headwinds after Rivian raised $2.5 billion in an aggressive plan to beat Tesla and Nikola with the first all-electric pickup truck.

The five giant tech company market caps marched on and gained more than $350 billion after gaining $300 billion the prior week. They now represent 26% 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, startups, crypto, or indexes I write about.
