📈 Markets Monday for 2025-05-19

As a reminder, this is an end of day snapshot…

Quick Recap

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

🔙 Throwback Thursday for 2025-05-22

📡 🛰️ One story caught my eye this week — the gap in LEO satellite broadband services deployment.

Back in the ancient times of 2018… the satellite broadband services market was only being served by a few seemingly legacy providers.

✅ Final Thoughts Friday for 2025-05-23

🤖 + 🔮 The story that caught my eye this week was Waymo reaching 10M paid rides. Granted, even 10M total rides is a mere drop in the bucket compared to human operated Lyft and Uber rides every day.

Waymo will disrupt the gig economy slowly as it ramps. Just as the human switchboard operator role had a peak, that peak gave way increasingly automated digital telecommunications solutions.
