Here’s some great news: Researchers have made significant progress on a new treatment for halting heart disease.  Even better is that it has potential to reverse damage to arteries that has already occurred. These exciting developments, which could affect tens of millions of people, are findings of a new study recently made by the Stanford School of Medicine. 

One of the few really bright spots in the economy is the stock market.  Since the crash earlier this year, it’s trended upward, and more recently has been making new highs regularly.  This is great news for governments, which will enjoy increased tax revenues, and also for many investors, who will reap additional income.

For millennia, anyone who had a shovel, a pick, and a dream could become a miner.  New technology will change this.  Not only will it make shovels and picks obsolete but miners too.  The reason: Mining will be done in space.

Lots of people are anxiously waiting for life to return to the way it was before the pandemic. Unfortunately, there has been so much structural damage to the economy that this is not likely to be happening any time soon.  In fact, America could be facing a hyperinflationary Great Depression.

Lots of speculators made big bucks earlier this year in gold, silver, and day trading.  Others did even better in a very different venue: buying and selling sports cards.
