News:
Markets posted a strong green day on Monday. The Nasdaq led the charge to close up 1.9%. The other indexes were green but gained less than 1% each.
The stock of the day was Twitter (TWTR^). An SEC filing revealed Elon Musk bought ~9% stake in the social media platform. He’s been critical of the platform in recent weeks. TWTR stock closed up 27%.

To our knowledge, this is only the second investment he has in a publicly-traded company. Tesla (TSLA^) is the other. Musk is now Twitter’s biggest shareholder. Other investments of his that we are aware of are in “Bitcoin, Ethereum & Doge[coin]. That’s it.” I also own some of each.
Worth noting that TSLA stock rose 5.6% yesterday.
Other leading stories are the war in Ukraine and the inverted yield curve. I’ll address that next…
Technicals:
On Friday 2-year bonds trader higher than 10-year bonds.
Typically long-term bonds pay a higher rate. When the opposite is true, the yield curve inverts, it can indicate that the winds are changing.
The past nine recessions were preceded by a yield curve inversion between the 2 and 10-year bonds.
But each recession came 6 to 24 months after the inversion. And there is no direct cause and effect.
Consider this, in August 2019 an inversion occurred. About 6 months later the Covid recession hit. Did the inversion predict Covid? No, absolutely not.
In 1965 the yield curve inverted and there was no recession.
With only a few data points to go on it’s worth noting the inversion occurred but don’t tie all your hopes and dreams to this one technical indicator.
Timing:
April is historically bullish, so far it’s not disappointed.
My outlook remains positive, the current rally could carry on through the summer.
