In a U.S. market selloff, the strong performance of mostly foreign issues was impressive.

The current rush into oddball substitutes for cash is scary and unjustified. Do you really think there is an edge by spending your money in sports betting or by buying cryptocurrency?
Merck wound up being our best performer last week, but two energy companies came a close second.
Portfolio is currently up 4,509.99 (0.11%) as of 10:09am ET today. However the market did fall back later.
After 7 days of falling oil prices leading to the biggest loss since 2019 my oil trader UK cousin expects a price rise today because of the lower dollar, the currency used by oil traders like him.

BP Tops Q2 Earnings Estimates, Announces Share Repurchase
understatement is considered to be a good thing in Britain and BP plc seems to be very British indeed. Zacks is more used to American overstatement. Vivian@global-investing.com

4 Buy-Rated Growth Stocks To Snatch Up In May
in this week's Barron's Mirova Global Sustainable Equity which I think belongs to French brokerage Natixis, has 3.6% of its assets in TMO. I in fact have more than that, but I am not French. Barron's says it was founded in 2006 which is nonsense as I bought it 30 years ago, but that is because the old TMO merged with a firm making machines for diagnostic testing, healthcare equipment, lab tests, and gene sequencing, which were not part of the original Thermo I bought 30-odd years ago even though I spent some time living in France during that period. They also like another golden oldie I own, Microsoft plus two firms I don't own from Denmark and Germany despite being an ADR maven, only on of which has an ADR. Even though I am a contributor I want to enter your contest.
4 Buy-Rated Growth Stocks To Snatch Up In May
although I am mainly an investor in ADRs, my largest holding of all is Thermo Fisher, a US company which I have owned for over 30 years. I bought it with a broker named David Karrick with Dean Witter, both of which are now departed from the scene back in the dark ages when people got analysis from their stock brokers. There is something to be said for that even if I was charged a commission for the purchase.
