Good morning. I'm Phil Rosen — still recovering from last night's Succession episode. I'm actually writing to you not far from where HBO films many of the scenes in downtown Manhattan (fingers crossed I show up as an extra this season).
Speaking of jobs — Friday was a key day for labor-market data. Today we're taking a closer look.
Do you eat meat, reader? If so, what is your meatball of choice — beef, chicken… mammoth? Yes, you read that right.
Newsletter editor Hallam Bullock here, coming to you from London.
An Australian startup has engineered a giant meatball made from woolly mammoth DNA. Yet, it turns out nobody can taste it because humans could be allergic to the 5,000-year-old protein.
Welcome to Saturday, friends. I'm Phil Rosen, writing to you from New York City.
I'm excited to share this week's conversation with a top strategist and her outlook for 2023 — but first I have a question for you.
Hey there! Dan DeFrancesco in NYC.
Fun fact Friday: Parents in cities, including Eleanor Roosevelt, used to put their children in cages that hung out their windows in order for them to get fresh air.
With the stock market closed today, we decided to shake things up a bit. Today's edition consists of reader-submitted questions.
Markets are closed today but the Opening Bell newsletter rings nonetheless. Phil Rosen here — good to see you.
The main thing to watch today is the March jobs report, which is due at 8:30 a.m. ET.
When markets are open, stocks often move in reaction to the report, but this time around the reaction will have to wait until Monday.
For our day off, we have a shorter edition for you. First, let's check in with Warren Buffett.
Almost Friday! Dan DeFrancesco in NYC. The biggest golf tournament of the year, the Masters, kicks off today. Here's a guide to the players with the best chance of winning. Even if golf isn't your thing, the concessions at Augusta National, and their eye-popping prices (in a good way), are worth a peek.
Welcome back to another day of tech news.
Happy Friday eve, readers. I'm Phil Rosen. As a financial journalist, I'm always trying to distill complex ideas into plain language (for my own understanding as much as yours).
As for Opening Bell, I've found it helpful to remember that the stock market operates as a zero-sum game.
Like poker or chess, one player's win means another player's loss.
Halfway there! Dan DeFrancesco in NYC, and I'm amazed the Italian government wants to pass a law allowing them to fine people for mispronouncing words like "bruschetta." Mamma mia! Just wait until they hear how people over here say "mozzarella."
Good morning, team. I'm Phil Rosen. Thanks to Succession, the last couple of Sundays have been tough to beat — but Wednesdays are no slouch either.
