A great opportunity to get an insightful take on markets from my colleague and head of Fundstrat Tom Lee.

@fundstrat @jpmorgan I was at Chemical when we bought Chase and changed our name to Chase. When I retired from JPMC the stock was 28. Pretty happy alum with the work that Jamie and team have done!!!

JPMorgan @jpmorgan stock price $JPM soared from $58 to $334 as JPM became a truly "global bank" with this strategy executed by Jamie Dimon

Happy 80th birthday President George W Bush. We were both younger once.

I was in charge of getting a commencement speaker for my college graduation. It was Memorial Day weekend and tough to find someone. Then I learned that Senator Riegle’s sister was in our class and with her help he was our speaker that I got to introduce. Sorry to read of his passing.

Each time I go to Central Park I look for the stone dedicated to my friend Neil Levin who died on 9/11 trying to help people out of the WTC. There is construction at the spot and at first I didn’t see Neil’s stone. It’s dirty but I found it right beside the construction gate.

Strong memories tonight of elementary school watching first human space landings. At 27 I was aide to Ohio Sen. Robert Taft Jr and I got to work with the other Ohio Senator John Glenn. Wish the iPhone had been invented so I could have picture with Senator/astronaut Glenn.

April 4 and the first loggerhead sea turtle nest spotted at Juno Beach and up to 52 leatherbacks. Over 6 months to go in the nesting season.

Weekend note: Juno Beach sea turtle nesting season nearly a month in and nest count is at 38. By November the count should approach 20,000.

Weekend post: As sea turtle nesting season begins at Juno Beach the first count post is up. Each year there are nearly 20,000 turtles that lay their eggs on the Juno beach.

Ian and I went looking for gopher tortoises at Frenchman’s Forest, bingo found a big one coming out of his burrow.

This weekend we went to the New World Symphony in Miami Beach. Fun concert and our seats right behind the base section are so close we can see the notes on the sheet music.

I think it’s great the way South Beach has maintained its art deco architecture style.

I was quoted in a Barron’s piece on the SCOTUS tariff decision. barrons.com/livecoverage/t…

A new borrow for gopher tortoises at Frenchman’s Forest in Palm Beach County,FL.

With the closing Olympic ceremonies at the Verona Arena Jody and I were there for a grand performance of Aida.

@NateMorris 20 years ago we went to China and when we said we lived in Kentucky nearly every Chinese person we met would knowingly shake their head and say: “Kentucky fried chicken.”

A year ago, KFC moved its headquarters to Texas and not a single Kentucky politician picked up the phone to try to stop it from happening. For generations, KFC was Kentucky’s embassy to the country and the world, a brand that carried our name and our heritage everywhere. It’s a disgrace that career politicians let a symbol of Kentucky leave without lifting a finger. As your next U.S. Senator, I will pick up the phone, put my business background to work, and fight to make a deal to bring KFC back home to the Commonwealth where it belongs.

@ktumulty @glastris I also thought of Lincoln yesterday and posted this picture of a Lincoln statue my great grandparents gave to the Louisville library. In the 1930s there was a big flood that reach Lincoln and he appeared to be walking on water.

On President's Day, a story I think about is how a U.S. House member who served only one term was present when they laid the cornerstone of the Washington Monument in 1848. His name: Abraham Lincoln. Love to imagine what he was thinking.

On President’s Day I think of this picture of a Lincoln statue my great grandparents gave to the Louisville library and during a record flood the water reached the statue to create Lincoln walking on water.

New sea turtle nesting season in Juno Beach about to begin, what will the count be for 2026? Last year’s total exceeded 20,000!!
