Assuming Republican Senator Rubio does file a bill to limit US Investing in Chinese stocks, and assuming it gets bi-partisan support and passes, then we can assume the market will price this in! The very fact that I am highlighting it (for a year now) is because the narrative is building under the surface in this Trade War with China that can reverberate in Capital Markets. It’s a risk. A potentially big one.

Twitter is about to really set itself apart from Facebook…
First, here is a must-read thread from their Oct 25th earnings report wherein their CFO did a full mea culpa on Twitter. If you are, like me, impressed by TWTR as a platform but dumbfounded why they haven’t monetized it to propel the stock price higher, you will want to dig in. I agree that TWTR will be a double in 2yrs.
And then just today, @Jack made a very big announcement that elevates TWTR as the antithesis of FB in its moral compass. Stock got hit afterhours, but I contend this will make for a much more rewarding and trusted experience. At the very least, those in Social Responsible Investing will be drawn in as FB has proven repeatedly to be a sewer of deep-fakes and deep distrust.
