📈 Markets Monday for 2024-10-21

Quick Recap

For Market Monday, I look at the same key indicator that I take from a simple Yahoo Finance webpage each week. It’s how I look at things at the closing bell on Monday.

A few green things on 📈 Markets Monday for 2024-10-21

If you are using Yahoo Applied Filters for Stocks screener you can bookmark your own heat map view.

🔥 Hot Takes Tuesday for 2024-10-22

Two hot takes on the two stories caught my eye on Tuesday.

💰 + 🥬 If (big if?) robots can be directed by CV/AI/ML to do the weeding, will it change farm labor to favor well capitalized industrial farming? Or, would this provide the ability for more farms with greater diversity to be practical? If so, does this mean the need for weed killing chemicals in agriculture diminishes or goes away?

💰 + 💊 If wet lab science and AI were applied in equal measure, does this shorten the timeline to achieve impact from innovation? Does harnessing AI provide safer and faster time to market for small molecule inhibitors targeting proteins associated with certain form of cancer?
