Monday musings (on a Tuesday)

I’m a bit scatter-brained today as I catch-up on my work life after taking the long weekend off after a long two week sprint. I had a lot of thoughts throughout the day and just decided to write down a bunch of random unrelated thoughts today.

I woke up today to Robinhood notifications to many of my stocks were at a new all-time high. I cannot believe how many mornings I’ve woken up to these notifications throughout the last months. My entire portfolio closed up 1.76%.

Bloomberg is now squarely the #2 in the race. It was pretty obvious to me many months ago that Bloomberg was going to make a real run at the Democratic candidacy. He has too much money and backing to not be in the consideration. The real test for Bloomberg comes tomorrow at the debates.

There is such a crazy divide among the democratic party between the ultra-left leaning (Sanders) and the more moderate Dems (Bloomberg, Mayor Pete, Klobuchar). This divide may ultimately be the reason why the Dems lose the election later this year. Can Bloomberg/Mayor Pete unite the party if they win the nomination? It does not look good.

DoorDash has won the battle for favorite food delivery apps in my phone with their partnership with Lyft offering free DoorDash deliveries. The food delivery wars is one of my favorite battles going on right now. Consolidation is inevitable, but until that happens, the race will be one fun to watch and great for my wallet as a consumer.
