ANECDOTE

Starbucks Bear Cup Craze

Jack witnessed lines of people at 5am buying a Starbucks bear-shaped cup during a merch drop.
The limited-edition item quickly sold out and resold for hundreds on eBay.

ADVICE

Don’t Rely On Presidential Stimulus Promises

Don’t bank on unilateral stimulus; major payouts need Congressional approval and sustained revenue.
Expect such announcements to be used to influence markets rather than deliver immediate checks.
