Welcome to the 3rd Edition of Hump 🐪 Days! It’s Tax Day here in the US! If you haven’t filed your taxes yet, I strongly encourage you to file for an automatic 3 month extension. You need the following form. I hope you enjoy today’s edition.
Essential Thoughts from a Non-Essential Worker
I am fortunate enough to stay busy during this pandemic, and am grateful for that. If you aren’t busy right now, or if things are uncertain (school, job) - hang in there. It will get better. If you do want to bounce thoughts/ideas to me, I’d be happy to hear them - DM or you can reply to this newsletter (it goes straight to my inbox).
In the News
California rolls back it’s reopening plan in over 30 counties as Coronavirus cases continue to rise. This led to the market closing in the red on Monday after the DJIA was up 564 points earlier in the day.
The UK says it is banning China’s Huawei from 5G Networks - could the US be next?
Tesla Stock Soars to unprecedented levels - reaching a $1760 high on Monday. Data from Robintrack shows that the number of Robinhood users holding Tesla shares jumped 50,000 users - or about roughly 12%. As of Wednesday it is at $1501.
Grant Imahara, Host of Mythbusters - dies at age 49.
Google Pushes YouTube over Rivals on its searches. Duh, LOL. The article is behind a paywall but essentially: Google prefers serving YouTube over other platforms’ videos. I’d do the same until the government tells me its antitrust.
WFH Station of the Week
Plants, two monitors, nice lighting, and a wide desk. A+ if you ask me.
Favorite Video of the Week (Length: 2:28)
The deep sea. A shark. Getting swallowed whole. Just watch.
A Worthwhile Twitter Thread
No “Weekly Deals” section this week - but enjoy this thread of artist Banksy spray-painting the London Underground.
This week was a bit shorter than usual, but as always I’ll see you NEXT Hump Day.
Let me know if you have any feedback.
