  • Missouri is fighting the biggest free speech case in US history in its lawsuit against Biden. "At the core of the lawsuit, is the idea that the federal government can't outsource censorship to social media companies to trample on Americans' speech, which is exactly what they were doing.

BOTTOM LINE: Asian indices are mostly higher, boosted by industrial and technology shares in the region. I expect US stocks to open modstly higher and to weaken into the afternoon, finishing mixed.  The Portfolio is 50% net long heading into the week.
