Today's Post - https://bahnsen.co/3JLnpSl

It has been an interesting week in the market, but as you will see in the first paragraph below it may seem like nothing happened whatsoever. That is more common than people think. Today we visit the state of the U.S. dollar, the “safe haven” of bitcoin, the politics of oil, the nature of contrarian investing, and more. Just a lot of easy-bite tidbits to edify you this beautiful spring weekend.

And before I remind you that a new and improved Dividend Cafe is coming any day, jump on in, to this Dividend Cafe!
