Wall Street Journal: "Trump, Chip Maker TSMC Announce $100 Billion Investment in U.S."
One of the more important paragraphs in the article. It kind of sets the stage.
“If they did [the chips] in Taiwan to send them here they’ll have 25% or $30% or 50% or whatever the number may be” in tariffs, Trump said. “It’ll go only up. By doing it here, there’s no tariffs.”
Stocks like $ASML.AS $NVDA $TSM and $BTC still had a rough day today.

Solar Quest - Acid Air Raid (George's All Nighter)
The greatest 303 programming in history. Describing this track as a "monster" doesn't do it justice.

Wall Street Journal: "Birkin Bag Maker Hermes Posts Higher Revenue on Strong Americas Performance"
$RMS.PA
"The French luxury group on Friday reported revenue of 3.96 billion euros ($4.15 billion) for the fourth quarter, up nearly 18% at constant exchange rates compared with the prior-year period."
""Hermes is affected by the crisis in China, but the group is quite resilient, Chief Executive Axel Dumas said during an earnings call. “There are positive signs, but not enough to expect a full recovery,” he added.""
"Hermes proposed a dividend of €16 a share."
No "è" on the keyboard at WSJ? Anyways, amazing results by Hermès. Will try to read or listen to the conference call this weekend.
