But we saved everything 🙂.

Shannon recently shared his stock market analysis for the week ending October 9, 2026, covering major tickers and recent Bitcoin trends in a market review. In another report, he compared SPMO, SPY, and SPYV, highlighting higher long-term returns for SPMO among S&P 500 investing options since inception in a comparison of S&P 500 funds. Both analyses align with Shannon’s focus on market data and performance metrics.
