(Spencer Platt/Getty Images)
Former President Donald Trump plans to use his appearance at
the upcoming Conservative Political Action Conference as a "show of
force" to send a message that he is the GOP's "presumptive 2024
nominee" for the presidency, Axios reports, citing top Trump allies.

“I just don’t see how we can turn our backs on this...”
- First Lady Nancy Reagan, 2004
In
2004, Nancy Reagan spoke about a promising piece of scientific research
that she believed would secure a brighter future for our country.
After nearly two decades, this research has triggered the emergence of a scientific breakthrough that
may have the ability to ease creaky joints, revitalize declining
eyesight and fill the body with deep reservoirs of vibrant energy.
Our
beloved President Donald Trump has already benefitted from the research
behind this breakthrough to support his health and replenish his
youthful energy...
Former Texas governor Rick Perry has used its incredible healing abilities to repair damage in his back...
And many health experts refer to it as the closest thing we have to a fountain of youth...
Friend, this incredible breakthrough is something called Adult Repair Stem Cells.
And it has been clinically proven to help strengthen and support every single organ, cell and tissue in the body...
For
years now, the ultra-rich have been shelling out $100,000+ per
treatment to game an unfair advantage for themselves in the battle
against aging.
But
breaking research coming out of south Florida is about to level the
playing field for regular hard-working Americans like you and me.
Because, thanks to an elite team of researchers from the University of South Florida...
There’s now a way for your body to naturally produce these longevity-boosting Stem Cells all by itself.
That means, with this all-natural method...
You’ll
be able to enjoy the age-reversing, youth-enhancing benefits of Adult
Repair Stem Cells from the comfort of your own home...
And for a mere fraction of what ultra-wealthy Americans are paying.

Good morning. For
those of you passionate about the “Is NYC dead?” argument, we’ve got
some new data from the NY Post: About 105,000 people/day are walking
through Times Square to do...well, that’s actually a great question.
105k is a
65% decline from pre-Covid days, but far more than the 35,000 daily Time
Square visitors at the beginning of the pandemic.

Covid: More great news on the vaccine front. New data from Israel shows that the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine effectively prevents
the transmission of Covid-19. Although it's not yet peer-reviewed, the
study is the first sign that vaccines can stop asymptomatic carriers
from passing on the coronavirus.
-
Markets: The S&P hopes to hop back on the winning train after posting its first weekly loss in three. Financials, industrials, and airlines have been standouts even as the broader market couldn't find its legs.

If we had a
dollar for every economic prediction that didn't pan out last year, we
could single-handedly fund President Biden's stimulus plan.
Still, the latest wave of economic data has some experts hoping that the US is not only on the rebound, but ahead of schedule.
The growing signs for optimism
When
investors are nervous about what's ahead, they typically buy US Treasury
bonds, which sends bond prices higher and yields down. But last week,
yields on the 10-year note climbed to a one-year high, a sign that investors are bullish about a quicker rebound.
So are CEOs, whose confidence is at a 17-year high. Execs are predicting fewer layoffs and a positive wage outlook, according to a recent Conference Board survey.
On the consumer front...
- Retail sales jumped 5.3% in January, aided by the latest round of stimulus checks.
- Households are sitting on ~$1.5 trillion in extra savings.
- Employment in several blue-collar sectors—residential construction, delivery, and warehousing—surpassed pre-pandemic levels. Retail and restaurant jobs are also recovering.
Zoom out: Goldman Sachs recently upped its 2021 GDP forecast to 7%, but economists are still concerned
about the K-shaped recovery. 10 million fewer people are working now
compared to last February, continuing unemployment claims are still
elevated at 18.3 million, and consumer sentiment for those earning
<$75,000 remains down.
What does this mean for more stimulus?
The US
government has spent $3.7 trillion since March, and Biden wants another
$1.9 trillion. Given indicators of economic improvement, some experts
are divided on whether more spending will trigger inflation or get the
US out of a 20-year "low-growth rut."
Treasury
Sec. Janet Yellen thinks we're still in "a deep hole." And when he
testifies to the Senate and House finance committees this week, Fed
Chair Jerome Powell is expected to continue pressing for more action.

Most Texans
have their lights back on following a harrowing week in which frigid
temperatures + energy grid failures contributed to prolonged blackouts.
But now, some are facing a whole new disaster: astronomical electricity bills. A few examples:
How could
that happen? Many Texans facing exorbitant charges were customers of
power supplier Griddy, whose prices fluctuate with the wholesale energy
market. When energy prices skyrocketed last weekend, Griddy knew its
customers were in for a painful surprise and even encouraged them to
switch providers if they could.
Looking ahead...Texas
Gov. Greg Abbott held an emergency meeting on Saturday to see what
lawmakers could do to provide relief. And Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner
said the state of Texas should "bear the responsibility" of paying the egregiously high bills.

The best news bites you missed this weekend in the form of one stat, one quote, and one read.
Stat: The Chinese box office generated $1.2 billion
in ticket sales over the recent Lunar New Year holiday, a record haul
and equivalent to about 10% of the total global box office last year. Detective Chinatown 3 had the biggest opening ever for a film in a single market, topping even Avengers: Endgame.
Quote: "BTC & ETH do seem high lol"—Elon Musk, despite being a crypto bull, tweeted
that surging bitcoin and ethereum prices might be overdoing it a
little. For once, though, his tweets went ignored: Both cryptocurrencies
hit record highs this weekend.

When we heard that now through the end of February, Chobani is giving fans the opportunity to dream up the Coffee Creamer flavor of their fantasies for a chance to win $75,000, we immediately did two things:
- Began our Coffee Creamer flavor brainstorm
- Built a
time machine to travel to the Yukon Territory in 1898 and tell Great
Great Great Grandpa Harold that there’s an easier way to make his
fortune
We couldn’t
sit around making our fortune by dreaming up Coffee Creamer flavors
while Harold broke his back panning for gold. No, we drove that time
machine straight to Harold and told him, “Hop in, Gramps. We got some
Coffee Creamer flavors to dream up.”
Now we’re all sittin’ around the table at Brew HQ, dreaming up a flavor for a chance to win this contest and live on shelves IRL.
Think you can beat us? Submit your dream Chobani® Coffee Creamer flavor here.

Nothing
against the ox, but two of Silicon Valley's mega-startups are getting
ready for their Wall Street cotillion, and new reports say they're
already commanding nine-figure valuations.
First up, Coinbase
Ahead of its planned direct listing, investors are valuing
Coinbase at $100+ billion, which would make it the biggest US tech
listing since Facebook, per Axios. As the first US-based crypto exchange
to go public, it'll also confer major legitimacy to digital
currencies.
Coinbase has
licenses to operate in over 40 states and 100+ countries. And in the
first nine months of 2020, it did $141 million in profit...
...and that was before bitcoin started shooting up like bamboo. The crypto has risen ~96% YTD and is pushing $58k.
Next is Stripe
Thanks to the pandemic-fueled e-commerce boom, Stripe processed an estimated 50% more payments last year. Investors are valuing the company at $115 billion in the secondary market, more than 3x its valuation from last April.
- This weekend, Stripe announced that former Bank of England Gov. Mark Carney is joining the board.
Zoom out: With Ant Group's IPO blocked
by Chinese regulators, American fintechs may steal the show. SoFi is
going public via SPAC, and while Robinhood is...working through some
things...it hasn't ruled out a 2021 IPO.

Chair Jerome Powell will try for a Roaring Kitty-like performance when

TJX, Best Buy) and plenty of others (Nvidia, Square, Salesforce). On
Thursday, Airbnb and DoorDash will deliver their first earnings reports
since going public.
