This is not the time to be trading, especially with the policy uncertainties we are facing. Holding on to your cash is not a bad option instead of buying into the market. It is always prudent to rebalance your portfolio and mitigate your risk.

This should have not happened. Measles have been eliminated in the U.S. since 2000. Unfortunately, over the past decade, the populace has gravitated toward junk science and conspiracy ideologies. It is our willful disregard for verifiable evidence that imperils our well-being. Educate people!!

Flu cases is at all time high! Please get your Flu vaccines and make the necessary precautions. See your primary care if you have symptoms. Use mask when necessary! You won’t get this advice from our State and our Federal Government because of our current political climate. Just use common sense!

My gut feeling is saying that this is just way of justifying the 2025 Texas Senate Bill 2 on School Choice by sensationalizing stories like this. As a parent of two boys who both went to public schools, I’m totally oppose to any bill that will weaken or decrease funding of our public education!

In the battle of young vs old guards, are we going to see another young grandmaster beating the older one just like what we saw in the 2025 classical world chess championship? GM Vincent Keymer will play against GM Fabiano Caruana in the finals at the 2025 Grand Slam Freestyle Chess Championship!

As a practicing physician, I would have preferred a different HHS secretary. However, it seems likely that GOP senators will eventually confirm RFK Jr. I can only hope that the rank and file in the different departments or agencies under HHS will have the courage to deter unscientific policies. 😔

GOP senators folded as expected. I still believe she should not be confirmed. There are more qualified candidates than her in my view. It appears that she’s most likely be the next DNI. I can only hope that our men and women in uniform and those on intelligence services will not be in harms way. 🙏

Fabiano Caruana, wow!!! He not only has the courage to take on the current World Chess Champ by choice but proved it by stream rolling over Gukesh in the quarter finals during the Freestyle Chess Grand Slam tournament! He’s showing some form likely at the level of chess next only to Magnus Carlsen!

Based on what I know about her, I don’t think she should lead our national intelligence. I guess my opinion is largely different to that of the republicans in the Senate Intelligence Committee. I hope that our service members will be protected from our adversaries if she is eventually confirmed. 🥲

Interesting read! Updates continues as this policy is being implemented. I’ll be closely watching how this policy unfolds in the next few days, weeks, months and beyond!

Tariff is inflationary! There’s no way this will not lead to increase in prices of commodities despite a selective approach. This could have economic consequences including a purchasing value because of inflation and more broadly, this will result in a less than optimistic outlook on US economy.

The fact that Tulsi Gabbard has parroted Russian propaganda in the past, that should be disqualifying. So sad in today’s politics that it is not anymore. President Trump should pick someone else to be the nominee for her position. It should be a person without a seed of being compromised.

Why? I can’t get my head over this decision. I hope this will be just a temporary and short freeze. This can be very demoralizing to the scientists, especially to all the junior scientists working at the NIH.

With a new CEO and a new broadcast deal with FOX sports, LIV doesn’t appear to be going away as many have wished! It might eventually be transformed into a worldwide golf tour. PGA Tour does not have to worry as they can focus on the US market while LIV will cater to the rest of the golfing world!

This is a developing story as of now. Considering that this person has no previous arrest or records of anything against law enforcement, I believe he is motivated by the current state of our healthcare in the US.

GM Ding Liren blundered on the 29th move under significant time pressure! The young Indian grandmaster is now 1 point up with 3 classical games remaining. Knowing Ding’s current form, it’s doubtful if he has the ability to comeback. Will GM Gukesh Dommaraju be the new world chess champ? We’ll see…

The 9th game of the 2024 World Chess Championship match ended in a draw. The score remains tied 4.5 points each! Although Gukesh was highly favored over Ding at the beginning. I’m not sure at this juncture who is the favorite. With 5 classical games left, it’s my view that this match is now 50/50!

Game 5 ends in a draw. But Ding could have played for a win with a Be6 as shown in this position without too much risk. Gukesh would have suffered for quite a while just to draw the game! Missed opportunity for sure or the defending champ just doesn’t have that “killer instinct” at top level chess!

The Indian grandmaster, Gukesh Dommaraju struck back in the 3rd round! It’s interesting that Ding Liren lost on time! Now, the question lingers of whether is he really in form or not? The pundits maybe are right for giving Gukesh D as the favorite to be the world champion.

Ding Liren draws first blood in game 1 of the World Chess Championship. Gukesh has been the favored one but the defending champ has shown resilience. Ding is maybe out of form but very hard to underestimate the heart of a champion! Still a long way to go but this match is now very exciting!
