Hello, my friend! Dave Smith here, doing my best Phil Rosen impression. I'm a deputy editor at Insider who helps oversee our newsletters, but I've worn plenty of hats around here. Previously, I was an audio-news host, tech editor, senior correspondent, and tour guide for CES

Happy President's Day. I hope you're doing something president-y to celebrate. Maybe you're listening to the 1995 classic album "The Presidents of the United States of America" by the band of the same name, in which case, my goodness do you have good taste. 

Phil and the rest of the newsletter squad are off today, but here are six (not 10 today, sorry!) of my favorite markets and investing reads — just for you.
