The Weekend Rip: May 25, 2025

Happy Sunday, and happy Memorial Day! The U.S.A. would be nothing without the sacrifices of those who serve our country. Thank you to all who have served. Those who gave the ultimate sacrifice protecting our ideals will never be forgotten. 🦅 

The market ended last week lower after hitting a 25-day peak. This upcoming week, all eyes are watching one thing: Nvidia. The chip-making giant will have to defend itself in the new tariff economy for relying on massive imports for its massive earnings. We’ll be watching Wednesday night! 📉 

Let's recap and prep you for the week ahead. 📝
