Over the last two days, we've had two massive headlines in the news that were quite positive: a pause on the US-China trade war and an executive order aiming to slash pharmaceutical drug prices in the US. These recent events were certainly welcomed, especially after having gone through a few weeks of political and economic uncertainty. Though some might downplay these as small developments, I am happy to see steps being taken towards a more positive world.

Speaking of improvements, I've also added a "price vs last month" figure into the newsletter, so you can get a better idea of recent price activity. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like to chat more. I'd be more than happy to do a thorough / personalized analysis beyond this data. You can also check out my website for more resources & guides (www.joshuy.com).

Talk soon,
