Good morning, investors!

Today’s newsletter is a little different than usual. Instead of digging into financial statements, exploring recent stock trends, and listening to me babble, we’re highlighting another financial newsletter in the Substack sphere: Doomberg.

I’ve been a subscriber for a few months now, and I wholeheartedly recommend their content if your inbox can spare the space.

In Praise of Corn Ethanol
